  1. Well unless you're Arsenal circa 2004, you can't play top opposition and not lose some games.

    They've got a long way to go in England still. Chelsea broke records left, right and centre. Arsenal were invincible (in a Man Utd sandwich) and Man Utd won the treble. Man City won the league on goal difference after letting a big lead slip and then catching another team that did the same. In terms of European football, they're a long way behind.

    But yeah, last night was tough for them. Real we're bang on, a little sloppy in front of goal in the first half, but still impressive. Like you said, if Kompany had just put his head on the ball, they'd come away 2-2, maybe.


  2. i don't mean they should play every match like yesterday
  3. Originally posted by clover68:mine was a more general concept than related to the match of yesterday .. it was referred to "always and in any case" attacking view of Bart

    if Kompany wasn't scared of that "cannonball" by Ronaldo a draw was sorted out at least.. matter is not they defended it's they defended bad

    Its not that I always want to attack, but Ajax always want to play their own game (High ball possession, 2 wing players, attacking backs) Of course there will be a some changes every match, but the idea of the game is always the same.

    But what I meant with City is that I really dont understand that you buy a lot of good players, mainly strikers, and that you gonna play with 3 defensive middfielders. But Manchini is a defensive/boring coach, just as Mourinho.
  4. Originally posted by iTim:Sergio: I agree with everything he said, teams need a leader like that on the field. But, not giving Madrid credit when the dominated most of the game? That's my issue


    If you were in Hart's position like he is on that video, you would be the same. I know I would.

    Also, Kompany was dreadful all game. For the next game against Real Madrid, replace him with Lescott I say. He looked out of shape and just oblivious to what was happening.
  5. I don't think Mancini is going to drop his captain for one game in a few months time. He had a bad game, time to move on and forget it.

    I agree with Ronnie, Mancini got it wrong. Take the lessons learnt from this game and stop them at the Etihad. (Only joking, do the same)


  6. Mou vs Mancini what a horrible boring without shots match should be .. oh no sorry it was yesterday .. not so boring uh?
    commonplace .. they're clever and skilled coach and above all ... winning
    don't touch me Mou please
  7. so .. today interesting match is Chelsea - juventus? apart for those involved in other matches of course hehe
  8. Yeah, and Bayern - Valencia could be interesting too.
  9. and we're all for the Blues, aren't we? hehehe
  10. Some great matches this weekend, couldn't stand the temptation to include them in the prediction, despite the few days of time we have. Good luck!

    Liverpool - Manchester United
    Manchester City - Arsenal
    Schalke 04 - Bayern München
    Bayer Leverkusen - Borussia Mönchengladbach
    Fenerbahçe - Trabzonspor
