The DEFINITIVE English football banter thread

[Tommy Thunder]

Again.. it's how he told to play, Maybe the tactic of letting Messi just have the ball while everyone else stares in awe would work better.. listen I like Pepe.. do I like the way he plays for Madrid? No way, he acts an idiot.. but again, Does Mourinho discourage it? No.. Pepe is a soldier in the terms that he does what he gets asked to do.. Get stuck in and stop Barcelona playing!

I think a better word to describe him would be a mercenary lol!

Ah right fair enough man What have you guys made of Kagawa?.

He's still adapting IMO.
The German game is slower than the PL, hence why he's not scoring as many as some might think he would be. He's still been good though. He needs to play facing the goal more though, so that he has more time to do something with the ball.

Another point, with Rooney now playing behind RVP and Welbeck/Hernandez, isn't Rooney playing in Shinji's position? Interesting how it's turned out eh?

Oh fuck it i left for two minute and you posted too much,i can't respond to that.But i disagree with the Alves part.He can play really good defense if his needed

[THE HEARTBREAK KID]

On the subject of full backs - Really impressed with Kolarov lately, always been a fan since his Lazio days. His crosses are always spot on and his free kicks are exceptional at times.



He's had his moments, personally I thought his best game was 2nd half v Spurs when he played wide left.

Good signing though and will only get better, not really a fan of his though.




Haha. Poor guy!

Yeah I'm with you on Kolorov man.. has done well when ever I watch him, his free kicks are quality too! Would start ahead of Clichy for me if I was Man City manager.

Yeah I agree with Kagawa, I too can only seeing him get better, was a big fan of his for Dortmund and was happy when we signed him, do think he looks a little lightweight at times but technically a very good player.

Your opinion man but I don't agree...

[magglis]

Totally agree man! Clearly Mags has been watching Greece bore teams to death with everyone defending and has not got that the game has changed.

That post is so stupid.What makes you think that all Greek teams play defensive game.I mean Atromitos a really small team almost eliminate Newcastle because of their attacking game.And Olympiakos vs Arsenal they destroy Arsenal in the first half,a few examples

Same there!

I don't think size is a problem anymore, look at Silva. But I get ya, most Utd fans I know are happy with him, I'm just not a fan of him as a player, rather have Rooney behind the striker(s) and shove him out wide left. Sell Nani to Zenit for more than he's worth too He's had an awful start!
