We have a playbook?

We didn't against City( first half at least) and Chelsea either, shame that you have to defend as well... So we're still crap just a more exciting flavor. I'll call it improvement of a sort. I'll take it

And the rest

Defending is fucking ass

Perez

" Would you like Cabaye " Nah we are alright mate, we have Tiote and Colback.

" Herping the Derp 24/7 " Agreed.

He'll go if he's fit, Hodgson ain't that stupid.

Considering the replacement is Jelliot i agree tbh

Not only England but in terms of goalscoring there's very little that tops him in the entire league.

So is Woodman probably, i mean how could he be worse

I suppose the logic would be that the main reason he's still the owner is because of the money that he gets because of being owner.... take that away and maybe he would look to sell? Or invest some money and be back in the PL in 12 months? Aye but what if it fails? hasn't seemed the type to take risks like that so far.

Give Woodman a go IMO, can't be any worse than Elliot.

CBA doing a top 10 but top 5 is undoubtedly Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar and Robben. The rest don't really come close.

How many PL teams have a decent third choice goalkeeper? Stop that logic man, you know that don't fly here.

I can think of 10 players from Bayern and Barca alone which are better than Mata, lets not go there please.

Don't worry Kaka, your favourite past time of stalking Kobe is about to renew for another year.

Part of it is the change in rules tbh, i do believe that the game is now geared more to attack than ever has been. The defenders of yesteryear would have more struggles today IMO because of how they game has changed in terms of rules and mindset.

All of them are praised because of their ability to impact the game further forward though, except Baresi maybe. When people talk about Beckenbaeur they rarely talk about his defensive prowess rather his ability to charge forward and open a team up. Like it or not defending is much more a team game than an individual one, so it's only natural that they are not praised as much.
