  3. Well when an attacker comes in its mostly all-in for the team to get a goal, so I am not sure if is easier or harder. Can name arguments for either case.

    when i play i prefer to play more minutes ..it is easier get in tune with the team....

    A good point of view will be the stadistic about the shots on target about players and the the goals ...
  5. Yeah, you are probably right.

    It's easier to change a game when you come on with a fresh perspective. Look at Aston Villa vs. Man Utd this season. When Villa were 2-0 up, Man Utd didn't look like scoring or winning. Hernandez came on and all of a sudden it was one way traffic. Van Persie hit the bar twice, Hernandez scored a hat-trick and Man Utd looked like comfortable winners. The truth was, for the first hour they were slow and lacked any creativity.

    Same goes for Dzeko this season. He comes on and gives Man City a boost, he offers a different avenue for the attack.
  7. Don't we have a West Brom fan here?


    Edit: Josh (u2spear) - he must be delighted with West Brom's start to the season.
  8. Michel Platini has said that expanding the Champions League to 64 teams and scrapping the Europa League is an option amid a wide-ranging debate over the future of its club competitions.

    Asked about the possibility of scrapping the second tier competition and doubling the size of the Champions League, the Uefa president said the proposal was under discussion. "There is an ongoing debate to determine what form the European competitions will have between 2015 and 2018. We're discussing it, we will make a decision in 2014. Nothing is decided yet," he told French daily Ouest-France.

    However, such a radical move is considered unlikely because it would reduce the number of teams in European competition overall and risk diluting the appeal of the Champions League.There is, however, an acknowledgement that changes are needed to the Europa League if it is to prosper. As such, Uefa is likely to offer a place in the Champions League to both finalists in the competition from 2015 in a bid to increase its allure.

    Oh dear.

    Euro prize money (2011-12)

    Champions League: Chelsea earned £49m for winning the competition. Man Utd pocketed £28m despite being knocked out in the group stages.

    Europa League: Winners Atletico Madrid received £8.5m. Fulham, knocked out of the group stages, won £2.2m.

    Uefa: Europe's governing body earns about £1bn from the Champions League and brings in £225m from the Europa League.
  11. hehehe that´s why ....
  12. I read a good suggestion in the BBC comment box:

    A better idea would be to give a UCL spot to the Europa League winner - thus making the "lesser" competition more competitive.

    They're champions of the Europa League, so allow them to compete in the Champions League. Take a place away from the country of the Europa League winner. Give teams in the Europa League something to compete for.
