Been very good today, been waiting for a performance like this for a long while.

Alonso has had one of his better games for a while as well.

He's so fast, with this much space he gets so dangerous.

Such an excellent result for Real this. They can sit on the counter in game two again. Gone to plan this far for them.

At a second viewing it definitely looked straight on Had so much time there Götze.

Good save. Ramos, trying to kill someone.

Can't be hard to get a standing ovation at Bernabeu if Isco is getting one

Isco has been really really poor.

Love him personally. Real life internet trolling on a football field. Mint Funny, if I ever were to wish a player was at the end of a career ender, it would be him. He's a class act too, which makes it all the more embarrassing. slightly harsh. Can you not enjoy the pantomime of it all? He's not as hateable as a phil Bardsley type I agree with unbelievable here. If I had the chance I'd pay someone to break both his legs

What's wrong with that? Pardew prefers talentless players, I'm not saying I prefer Gosling over Ben Arfa am I?

How exactly? Where do I say that Robben is more talented? Is only offensive players talented? It's absolute rubbish. There's a clear reason to why Bayern fans think Ribery is their best player (although he's not having as great of a year this year as last) and why he was chosen the 3rd best in the world. People watch two games of a player and then make conclusions from there. If you guys actually watched Bayern play every weekend, especially last year you would understand what I meant.

And Bayern needs Muller.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Robben is a way better player Depends completely how you look at it. Ribery offers more throughout the pitch, Robben is more dangerous in the final third. If I had to pick one player in my team of the two it would be Ribery every day for what he offers both ways. You're sounding like pardew preferring a winger because he can defend better than another guy way more talented You're only confirming to me what I already know about you. Don't even know why I quoted you, should've learned from earlier.

Aye, I liked them better because they were much more direct last year. But do think this team is actually better than last years.

He'll get sent off soon, three consecutive fouls already.

Hope he gets a four-year deal. Deserves it for what he has done for this club.

I think Carlo is class but I wouldn't say it's been a masterclass. Its as close to a masterclass as you can get What's so funny. Its not his fault that his players are missing sitters. They're playing the European champions and favourites to retain it and haven't let them create a thing while creating loads of chances themselves Wouldn't say they haven't created anything. Real has clearly had the best chances and have done well in their gameplan no doubt.

I think Carlo is class but I wouldn't say it's been a masterclass. It's Ronaldo, he has no right to call anyone biased ever again. He'd basically lick Carlo's ballwax if he had the chance.

So you missed my point? Good on you.

Don't agree. He didn't offer anything, whenever he held the ball he lost it soon and as a striker you should ask more than the best thing being a foul won at the edge of the box. He was terrible in my opinion and think someone more mobile like Eto'o could've done a better job.

Also considering their gameplan, Chelsea players were spot on yesterday. Thought all of them defended extremely well. Only Torres doesn't get a good rating from me because he couldn't do his job up top, although he was quite isolated.

Willian is a very effective holder of the ball and excellent in keeping possession, unfortunately he doesn't really have an end product, or at least doesn't try that hard to score or make a decisive pass. Yet he had the fourth best passing success in the team. Only Cole, Cahill and Mikel were better in that department. Lampard, David Luiz, Ramires and Schurrle made 50% of their passes while Torres had the lowest pass success rating in the game. Only a fourth of his passes reached the right players By that I'm not defending Willian, just like the rest of the Chelsea side they horrible, but their best chance came from Willian breaking through in the middle only for Ramires to take the awfulest of touches wide and then hit it terribly across goal.

Sorry, but what are you on about? As one of the first along with Mick (from what I remember and HTT I think) I don't care if people saw sense then or now, the important part is that everyone is turning against this complete and utter fraud. Knew this wouldn't go down well Probably because of what I encountered from most Swedish fans. Had to defend my opinion on Pardew way too much. This is some sort of personal revenge. I take it you stay away from the Swedish forums? Being ridiculed for an opinion that most people would come to accept 12 months later. I feel they deserve Pardew Absolutely stay away. Used to hang out on magpies.nu back in the days, but Swedish knowledge of this sport is shamelessly low nowadays. Even on TV you have bunch of clueless people preaching about the game which makes it unbearable. No wonder national team is on a huge decline even with the best player ever to play for Sweden in the team.
