  1. TBF, he could push Valdes out of their team.

     

    He wouldn't push Valdes out but i certainly rate Krul over Valdes, i've always thought Valdes is overrated and would get found out in a poor side, his distribution and his actual footballing ability are the reasons why he has stayed in goal for Barca as he does suit their style.

     

    That's pretty much it, really. Valdés' strengths are so tailored to our play style it's ridiculous. Apart from his distribution, his main virtue is one-to-ones, which is our main defensive weakness as we play with such a high defensive line.

     

    I reckon a class GK is a class GK anywhere. Barcelona should be in for someone like Neuer imo, and the confidence he would give the back line would be far superior to Valdes' skills.

  2. Blueprint? :yao:

    Philosophy? :yao:

    Tipi Tapi? :yao:

    Intricate passing? :yao:

     

    It's all bollocks really. I've seen as much long ball in last night's game as was seen under the "King". Just because your keeper passes the ball to the centerbacks it still makes no difference as one of them is certain to hoof it up to nowhere ad infinitum.

  3. Thought James Milner had a very good game. One of his better games for the national side.

     

    Lampard and Gerrard were woeful in the middle. Cleverly was promising with his forays into the box. Should have scored.

     

    Danny Welbeck by far had the most impact, and I quite liked Bertrand's cameo. Very good player who is rather quietly creeping up into the hype machine.
