  1. Diame's first goal was a stunner. Love goals like Mitrovic's second where the entire defense gets super faked. This season has been brilliant.
  2. De Gea? Thought so, too. He made it easy for Pedro. He's good at one on ones, too.
  3. Jorge Sampauli has Sevilla at the top of the league.
  4. I think he may have had Ronaldo ahead of Beckham. I remember him having Paul Parker at RB, and Ince in midfield instead of Scholes. All his former teammates have had nothing but nice things to say about him. He's always present and their captain when they do their best 11s.
  5. I feel like they're in doubt more often than not. There's a time and a place for playing out the back, but I feel like Pep has drilled his keepers into making that their first instinct. Last night wasn't the time or the place. Away from home, against one of the best pressing sides in the world. His decision cost them the game. It may be admirable, but I think he should be a little more flexible at times. He just seems so stuck in his ways. Henry talked about Pep subbing him at half time because he didn't follow his directions despite scoring a goal. Also, Pique recently said that the team under Pep had no Plan B, and this one is better as they have the counter attack option as well as the death by possession method. I prefer managers to allow players to play their game.
  6. I found it funny how he didn't include a single player from the Class of 92 in his Best 11. He's so small time.
  7. Pep's post game comments really annoyed me. He's far too stuborn about playingit out the back.
  8. Was just about to pick Allen but it said he had a 50% chance of playing so said fuck it. Fuck.
  9. Caught a some of the South American highlites. Aguero missed a pen last night. I've never really seen him perform for Argentina. Nice counter attack by Paraguay. The touch to get away from the defender by Angel was first class. Colombia 2 Uruguay 2. Suarez's goal was great finish.
  10. That's interesting. It could be the position. Lamella committed a lot of fouls last season but people don't see him as a dirty player and he doesn't get as many yellows as a defender or CM would get.
  11. Nice Office reference indeed.
  12. Probably the same. He was on the decline.

    Nigeria win things. what annoyed me about today was how our players don't make themselves available. There were so many instances where the players just didn't expect the ball when it was passed to them and they'd have to run an extra yard to retrieve it. There seems to be very little chemistry between the players. Rooney also tries to do way too much. Instead of keeping it simple, he wants to start an attack straight away. He's good at breaking things up in the midfield but then he takes an extra second on the ball slowing everything down.

    What a miss by Alli

    England

    Their keeper played really well.
  16. I think that's the way it has to be nowadays. We tried the old school approach with McClaren and that clearly didn't work out. Sunderland and Swansea sacked their managers quick and they survived relegation.
  17. Added Bolasie today. got a feeling he'll get some points vs Palace.
