    I think I'd rather just have the £20m, if I had to choose. Carroll would be about three steps back in terms of cohesion and ability.
  2. Barca's pressing hasn't been as good as it normally is. They're allowing Madrid into their half every time which never happens consistently in a game.
  3. I think Lampard is more of a focal point of a team, rather than someone who keeps things ticking over and offers themselves constantly for a simple ball. There's better and more creative players at Man Utd and Cleverley's the type who'll do the work to get those players into a good position, rather than being that type himself. You need players like that to build a successful team and I think England have lacked those types for a while.
  4. He's one of those types totally opposite to Lampard and Gerrard, where he's a genuine team player and will make a run where he knows he won't get the ball, just to create space for someone else. He seems to just understand the game fully even at a young age, which is why I think Ferguson keeps playing him, even if he doesn't go past players or bang in screamers very often.
  5. Elliot. there's no point in him being brought here if he can't come in and cover in these situations. Harper's leaving soon, we'll get nothing out of playing him.
  6. Think Zenit and Spurs are the ones we'd be best avoiding if we get through. Chelsea will hopefully get drawn in to a battle for an automatic Champions League place, and I can't see their 'megastars' being that motivated for the EL.

  8. He was onside for both of his goals, no? First one definitely, second one debatable.
  9. Tbh if that offside decision was the other way round I'd want offside. There's no daylight but he's ahead of the last man.
  10. They're a good side. Very organised. We still look like a bunch of players thrown together rather than a team. One player pressing at a time is really basic and annoying. Metalist have shown how a team as a whole should press.
  11. Comfortable top half, too light up top. Need at least one other wide player and striker to go for Europe again imo.

  13. To lose to that second goal is tragic. Disgusting piece of defending.
  14. Fine with Jonas starting this, but I would've stuck Tiote in. Keeping a winning side and all that is fine to a point, but Perch was easily the weakest link against Chelsea and we've got a perfect player to come in.

  16. It's so bizarre to see us score from a counter attack. Really didn't compute in my mind at the time.
  17. off out for a few more pints and a curry. Happiest I've felt football-wise for donkeys. Same. Will definitely taste better now, would've been in a foul mood if we'd lost.
