Beigl 1,387 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Are you absolutely sure you are a Chelsea fan? Because you seem to have the cocks of some Madrid players placed firmly up your anus.And Thiago,who is much better than Cesc because he smashed England U-21s. stroey, Daniel1980, petre.ispirescu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Cesc wouldn't start over Isco, Modric or Kroos? Valid reasoning. I'm assuming that's why they are in second in a league where the defending is atrocious whilst we are 5 points clear at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The El Clasico was rather dull. Lacked the usual edge and bite seen from the previous clashes. It was almost like another ordinary game for Real Madrid.As for Barcelona and Luis Enrique, they are flat track bullies at the moment. Played two quality sides this season and have lost to both. iseah100 and Daniel1980 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namika 922 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The midfield Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta has declined so much in only two years. Busquets doesn't seem capable of protecting the back four, he's beaten in every 1v1 too now. Xavi can't control a game for shit now, he only pass it sideway and pressed he lose the ball quite often. Iniesta doesn't break opposition lines like he used too, no killer ball and offer nothing defensively. They need a complete overhaul.

They consider Busquets a liability and Iniesta useless. It says a lot about how much they declined if even the fans that once thought they could do no wrong are turning against them. Incredibly, Barcelona's midfield is now their weakness rather than their strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly, Barcelona's midfield is now their weakness rather than their strength.Yes, people always tend to criticise their defense (Pique is awful though) but what can they do if Benzema, Isco and Ronaldo are running at them at full speed ? Their pressing isn't good enough to play the way they want to play. DYC. and Daniel1980 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pressing isn't good enough to play the way they want to play.What about the ridiculous amount of space they give up at the back though? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... I think that's called insanity.And Barca can't counter-attack anymore. It's quite extraordinary. I don't I've ever seen anything like that. They don't even try. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they had dynamic dms/cms in both mascerano and yaya, they chose sergio because he work out better at this time. However, like Spain, Sergio will be dropped eventually.

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Watched the Clasico again and I could seriously watch that game over and over and over again. Incredible football.I recently said Real is the better the team, compared to Chels, but not by that much. Boy was I wrong. Our boys still have quite a bit growing to do before they get to that level.

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Best Player Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid Best Coach Diego Simeone Atletico Madrid Best Goalkeeper Keylor Navas Real Madrid (formerly Levante) Best Defender Sergio Ramos Real Madrid Best Defensive Midfielder Luka Modric Real Madrid Best Attacking Midfielder Andres Iniesta Barcelona Best Forward Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2247187-cristiano-ronaldo-wins-3-awards-as-real-madrid-dominate-2013-14-la-liga-galaIndividual awards are so messed up right now. Atletico do the impossible and win the league yet Real, finishing 3rd, dominate the individual awards? The stupidity of these people (of course, this is mostly the result of politics).I usually don't care about these awards but this is ridiculous. Atletico's season was an historical achievement.Best GK should've been Courtois. Easy pick.Best defender was Godin. Ramos wasn't even Real's best defender last year.Best DM Modric? When did Modric become a DM? He should've been nominated for best AM. Best DM was Gabi. He was incredible. He'll probably never have a year like that again.Best AM Iniesta? That's hilarious and I'm a huge Iniesta fan. Koke, Di Maria and Modric should've been the top three. Di Maria was the best assist provider but Koke's contribution was crucial to winning the league. Modric was brilliant as well. This one's a bit harder but I would've gone Koke. His team mates are a lot less talented compared to star studded Real.Best Forward Ronaldo? Ronaldo scored the most goals, fine. That's why he got the Golden Boot. Costa's presence up front was immense for Atletico and his goals won games for Atletico. He should've won.Best Player should've gone to an Atletico player. Courtois, Godin or Costa would all have been good picks.Atletico Madrid should feel outraged really.

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Barca's midfield is absolutely terrible. No creativity. Pitiful performance. Rakitic is not a controlling midfielder at all. Terrible positioning. It's like he hides from the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
