Guest neesy111 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Another damp squib of a match involving Man Ure this season. City and now this. This is why I prefer la liga, don't get too many games being 0-0 or 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 If offered a direct swap, Rooney for Carroll, I wouldn't take it. Has he scored any goals from open play in the league this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 This years Premier League winners are not going to be anything special. It's an exciting league but there's no outstanding sides this term. Most of the excitement comes from it being fast and end to end but thats normally of a result of bad technique and passing in that the teams give the ball away so quick. There was a 15 min period mid way through the Spurs Chelsea game yesterday when the game was brilliant, 100 mph one end to the other but neither team could string 4 passes together! Even though man u won tonight i thought they were a disgrace, the so called biggest/best team in the country/world with a reputation since the Busby babes of attacking football, Fergie has went off for years about the tradition and style that his team play for years but tonight at home they played with Rooney isolated 20 yards away from the nearest midfielder as they pack the defence and midfield and try and hit on the break. At least Arsenal went to Old Trafford and stuck to their principals and played there normal game. The same way the likes of Barca and Real Madrid. Arsenal aren't that good a side to tell me Man U couldn't have went at them with Rooney and Berbatov up front and won that game quite easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 There's more than one way to play football though. Fergie got his tactics exactly right for the opposition tonight. Arsenal are great at what they do, but they aren't Barcelona good at it. This means that they can be countered by people like Fergie packing the midfield. When that happens, it's up to Wenger to find an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more me being pissed off watching it when i said today at work that i wasn't cos they'll try and cancel each other out and it'll be a shit game but i did end up watching it and just think that two of the best teams in the so called best league should produce a bettter game than that, if a team was going to soak up pressure and hit on the break you expect it to be the away side.

Ronaldo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I honestly don't think there's a striker in the world i'd swap for Carroll. Especially given his age in comparison to most of the big guns. I don't consider either Ronaldo or Messi to be a striker, before folk start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair enough, if anything they're so worried by results that they put that before anything else. Ironically I think Arsenal could have got something out of it if they had been patient enough and stuck to their game 100%. It seemed as though they lost patience at times and tried to force the through balls too much. Anyway, Arsenal fans should be proud of their style of football and what Wenger has done with the club.

wormy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 That's what I don't get, why do people expect a barnstormer of a game with the top teams? Either going to be a complete one sider with one team on form and the other having a bad day at the office. Or it's going to be an absolute bore of a game as they're both so well-matched it'll be one or two moments that seperates them. More often than not, it's going to be the latter.
