Todays Games - Week 4

A draw would have been nice just to keep the bitters panicking but it's always great to see Mourinho and Chelsea get their eye wiped.
 
Chelsea looked shite, Everton broke well and are difficult to break down, Naismith works hard but Christ, his passing is dreadful.
 
Re-read the first post I made that you replied to. Then figure out for yourself what the fuck you're arguing about. Can't be asked.

I think you should figure out for yourself what the fuck you're arguing about as you bizarrely disagreed with my comment agreeing with you that Chelsea were the dominant team.

It's ok to be confused sometimes.
 
Happy that Chelsea lost.

Barca are poop. Sevilla equalize to make it two all in last min plus they had a goal wrongly disallowed.

The Classico will be interesting because as they're playing now I'd expect Real to embarrass them.
 
Barca threw away a two goal lead in the last ten minutes against Seville only for them to go and claim a winner with practically the last kick of the game,
Great stuff indeed
 
Watching Barca-Sevilla ... Barca, as usual, look scintillating when attacking - but Neymar keeps on passing up shooting opportunities to pass to Messi ... They were up 2-0, and then a brilliant fast break lead by Gamiero was finished by Rakitic (both were supposedly targets this past summer), and then Barca almost gave up their lead on a corner before giving it up to Coke (yup, you read it right!) on a corner in the 90th minute ... Was going to be 2-2 when Messi bursts into the box, and his cross is parried into Sanchez's path who buries it ...

Barca are going to finish 1 or 2 in La Liga (obviously) but I can't see them beating Bayern in the CL (if they meet up) as the same weaknesses they had last year will be taken advantage of again. They lack a dominating CB who can keep the Pique/Alves/Adriano axis stable and they're extremely weak on set pieces (attacking & defending) as they play with dwarves.
 
Everton looked average but defended deep and Chelsea didnt create much apart from between 30-65 mins
Barry was quality and will be a good signing for them. Throw in Lukaku and they're a decent side that will finish in the top 8.

Jose made some baffeling tactical desicions and taking Mata off killed the creativity.
Terry isnt good enough anymore and was probably responsible for most of Evertons chances. If Jose continues to use him the defence will look shaky.
 
Ramos had a really good header of a corner ... and Ronaldo should have buried Ramos' hollywood ball (or at least got it on target).

I oddly enough agree with Maldini re: Ramos. If he could pick up his mental side of the game (concentration, silly fouls), he'd be the best defender in the world.
 
I for some reason want him to do well there. Villareal are impressive.

That Ilarra lad reminds of Xabi, albeit a bit quicker. When he was running with the ball I was certain it was him even though I knew he was out injured.
 
Madrid is going to have issues if they play Ronaldo Bale and a striker. Ronaldo and Bale are both most effective when they have no defensive responsibilities ... You can't do that with 3 players, so they're basically having Bale track back accordingly and that's going imo to return him to the bale of 2 years ago. Spurs realized that the best way to maximize Bale's talents was to just let him focus on what he does best

1-1 Bale
 
Ha, Bale even remembered to do his heart celebration.

That goal will settle him down.
 
Dont know if I'm in the minority here but I really dont rate Benzema that highely.
Real sold the wrong striker imho.

Benzema's a lazy cunt and very inconsistent. I think it was Graeme Hunter who said he's not very popular amongst Real Madrid fans.

Although if he bangs them in this season it'll probably be a good thing for us as they'll be less inclined to go for Suarez again.
 
i can see them going for suarez in jan ... if we're not in a title race, i think we'd probably sell (which i'm not against). i hope we're in a title race and suarez stays with us ...
