You mean how shit do I feel myself
It's a shame... You seem to be missing out on what elevates football from being merely a comparatively dull technical exhibition.
....A world where beating rivals means no more than an average game.
...Are you really THAT much of a purist/connoisseur?
I thought they played Madrid in the final?
I thought he meant he didn't give his City friend a hard time after the game?
Well said.
Everyone blaming the FB's, but everyone knows how City play, overloading wide areas, getting in behind, and Poch just set us up almost as badly to deal with this as he possible could, in a narrow 4121 diamond with a highish line and not pressing cohesively (as per your point 3) .
And, as ever, the stuff about Sissoko (
Hairy Cane
)is bollocks too, he was doing less than Wanyama, offering no protection at all, not offering himself as an option when we had the ball and chasing his tail when we didn't. We conceded 3 goals in 20 minutes with Sissoko on that pitch, 1 in the remaining 55 after he'd gone, with Alli in his place. It was a crazy, brilliant result, but tactically we were all over the place, and Guardiolas didn't exactly cover himself in tactical glory over the two legs either.
Sorry, didn't really explain myself, which I have in the post (reply to your other post). I think you made sone good points by the way.
What we had was some players, occasionally pressing aggressively, but not all, and certainly not a lot of the time. Pressing like this is no good unless it's coherent, if it's not it can be worse than not pressing at all.
No not the fault of Sissoko, but he’s definitely not the vital cog either. Just because we are short of options, doesn’t make Sissoko a good one, and he isn’t. He has poor technique, no vision, no 360 game brain, hampers our ability to play out and therefore, transition incisively (minus the one forward surge per game), and defensively he’s terrible. Big and strong, but again, doesn’t read danger or react particularly quickly or incisively.
He’s fundamentally an athlete doing a footballers job. And one of the reasons we have struggled for fluency and performances all season is a lack of intelligence and alacrity in our midfield

Do agree with u to a certain extent. He is a “poor man” version of Yahya Toure but he is the best we have got and his improvement has been immense. Who knows, maybe one day he can be our own version of that midfield lynchpin
To be fair we had a flag of human rights abusers being shown off by our fans as well.Fuck city. They were gifted more money than anyone else could dream of by the royal family of a nation of human rights abusers.
They bottled it.
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAThe majority of humans have a bald forehead unless they’ve been brought up by wolves. Here’s mine covered up with hair. Now let’s see your fizzog. I’m guessing like the jort picture we won’t see the upper half. Come on Arc. You’re always boasting about your physical prowess. Let’s see some evidence. Some chance lol. Now I’m away fishing in Welshpool. You’ll have to take your angst out on someone else this weekend.
Deary me, Joe - not the wig photo again.

That being said, why do you suppose he introduced Fernandinho for David Silva just after Aguero scored their fourth?
Going easy on a friend... Ergo a reason.
Genuinely curious is all.
Enjoy the next round mate.
It's all good Jakob - we're in the semi final of the world's best football team competition
