Greyco 143 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 What marvelous style. Being trashed at Valencia, Liverpool when they couldn't even make 3 passes.Their 50-100 passes between their central defenders and the goalkeeper.Balmont Debuchy running into blind alley on the right side.Scoring very few goals in the first half. Mavuba who plays often more like a third central defender and is very bad to pass the ball forward.Very few play in the central midfield, no link-up play between their three midfielders.Well, They've beaten the poor and average sides but due to individual performances of their attacking players. When they scored thei first goal and the opponents had to give more space there was good play but before that it often was a stalemate.Mancini has won trophies but I don't rate him as a great coach.It's natural Mavuba almost plays between the central defenders, it's to compensate the very agressive and offensive backs they have in Debuchy and Digne. And I remember the games against Valencia and Liverpool quite different. Besides those were in the 09/10 season in a Europa League Lille showed not much interest in, as they did the following year. They were chasing CL-football with a small squad of core-players.Under Garcia Lille improved year after year and earned the trophies to go with their exciting style. The side with Cabaye-Gervinho-Sow-Hazard-Rami played brilliant stuff and scored lot's of goals in a league with a low scoring average. They gained widespread accolades for their enthralling football.And here you are praising Puel who is one of the dullest coaches around.

Scoreboard journalism is something I really hate...I'm not goin further in this discussion as you seriously don't know what your talkin about...edit; Liverpool got trashed in Lille!!!

TrippingStep 336 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm not sure if you watched any games of le LOSC? very few play in central midfield? no link up? Scoreboard journalism is something I really hate...I'm not goin further in this discussion as you seriously don't know what your talkin about...I've seen nearly all their matches the last three years.If you can say that Mavuba Balmont Cabaye were passing the ball between them, it's you that don't know what you're talking about.Cabaye was even criticised on their forum while he was the only midfielder that tried to play a pass and move game. Mavuba was often hiding, Balmont running too much with the ball. And the wing backs playing like wingers, I never liked it.If you want to see a good use of wingbacks and the interplay with the midfield, look at Ac Milan under Ancelotti when they won the champion's league. Seeing wingbacks rushing forward without much build-up is not that elaborate.The matches against Inter, it was awful. Three four players in front glued to their defenders with no movements, Hazard alone behind them with no one to link-up. Inter was very happy to let the wing backs have a bit of space as they were not very gifted technically and are happy to let them cross to the box where their defenders were much taller than the Lille players.

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Kagawa has been injured but there is no doutbing kagawa's talent.Brilliant player he is and will have more of an impact as he settles in the manu team.He's a good player. Not 'brilliant'. Where on Earth did you get that? Mata is Brilliant. Kagawa is overrated and before his injury Hazard utterly outshone him. He's probably not even better than Oscar and if he is Oscar has far more potential. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hurt but people are acting as if he sucked before that. He played 8 games and had 2 goals and 3 assists. Hardly a horrible start considering that he's been moved all over the pitch. (Rooney is playing in his natural spot). He's an excellent player but how good we will see. Hazard got off to a ridiculously awesome start but slowed down once Mata came back, then had a bad stretch when we were struggling but has picked it up again recently. Overall, to me, he and Mata have been our two best players this season. Oscar is not at that level yet. He's struggled mightily in the Premier League but he works hard and has very good instincts and skills so I have high hopes for him.

Peppi85 110 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 the word at doesn't ring a bell? mm ok; I've read over that word But it's easy to pick out 2 matches where they had an off-day?Besides Liverpool & Valencia are (sub)top in the 2 best leagues. That's hard to take on for a team from the 5th competition. Lille did an amazing job by becoming champion (& winning the Cup). They didnt succeed in that in 50+ years...Garcia is a part of the team that made Lille a topteam again!but if you didnt like their playin style, thats personal taste off course & we cant argue about that. There are people that think Barca is playin dull football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keikoismad 162 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We should probably talk about Hazard, otherwise the mods will come with the usual ' stay on topic ' talk.I have to admit it though: I started, sorry moderators On topic: I can feel Hazard is gonna have a really good game tonight, he's playing better since a few weeks.

Kagawa wasn't the Bundesliga player of the year. Reus was.2. Gotze was injured for an extended period last season. He also wasn't a direct competition to Kagawa3. Sahin - a former Bundesliga player of the year - can't even start for shitty Liverpool team.4. If there's any truth to Lewandowski to United rumour, I can't see Kagawa getting enough game time.I think he's a very good player, but no where near world class. Brilliant? perhaps, but it's all semantics.Staying on topic, Hazard>>>>Kagawa KonohasOrangeFlash, Stingray and blu35_army 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
