all three goals on major errors by Bayern, crazy

not really, guardiola said before the game that as much as they were serious about winning, to be at their best a team need to be slightly afraid, with no material consequences to losing and perhaps their entire first choice midfield out, this is what happens
aguero though

Chelsea were flying tonight. Just saw them goals, that's some 2011 Barca shit man, as much as I have to admit it.

messi just scored an entire hat-trick with his weaker foot while playing in a deeper role (100 passes hit)

were man city that bad yesterday? I didn't watch but all the talk on 5live after was about how bad they were considering how much money they spent etcetc. almost like the last 10 min hadn't happened.

they were the definition of a shit team with one of the best three centre forwards in the world44% possession at home to a team vs a team with 10 men for most of the game

No David Silva or Toure, yet you'd want to expect better.
― tsrobodo, Wednesday, 26 November 2014 13:33 (nine years ago) link
scholes said he would pick lampard instead of toure based on his cl performances and lack of defensive tracking, although his overall form this season suggests he is on the downslope anyway
lampard wasnt particularly great either, typical sturdy but unexceptional chelsea style performance in europe
fernando and fernandinho behind silva could work in a counterattacking team

this cumbersome translation of a german article is just about worth reading in terms of the general uselessness of english teams in europe (apart from the one coached by mourinho) relative to expenditure

the fuck is this? john terry header from corner, useless goalkeeping error at near post, ludicrous own goal from corner and two simple counterattacking goals while schalke were chasing it
their most important attacking player this season was one who couldnt even get in the crap 2013 barca team, in a world of terrible defences its pretty clear what their main virtue is (arguably their back six is the best in the epl in every position)

that barca team never gave the ball away, they were the least counterattack dependent of all great sidesthose goals clearly resemble jose's madrid that scored about a dozen goals one season from the other teams' corners

I know there are no good CBs any more but it makes me so angry that EBJT (being readied for the scrapheap 3yrs ago) is still able to consider himself one of the best defenders in the EPL.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 26 November 2014 18:17 (nine years ago) link
this is the first time ive ever had any respect for terry precisely for managing to prolong his career beyond death
in any other side he would probably get burned but he has two of the best recovery defenders in the world next to him in azpilicueta and cahill, and matic ahead of him, which is very similar to gallas, carvalho and makalele during his prime
good central defenders is another matter, thiago silva the best by miles, bayern, madrid and dortmund all have three of them, kompany and maybe koscielny in england, probably mathieu deserves inclusion and mascherano, improbably, laporte and maybe mangala will get there shortly

Comedy goals in the Liverpool game so far. Mignolet spills a shot hit straight at him and someone bangs in the rebound. Ludogorets defenders let the ball bounce in the box twice and Lambert heads it in. Two shit teams, there's going to be a few goals at least I reckon.

Ikr decent second half performance and then go and concede a goal from a corner with 2 mins left. 3rd goal conceded from a set piece in the CL so far. Even so if they won it would still all be down to the next match against Basle.

Liverpool are struggling against Basel as if they are the main character in Kafka's Metamorphosis, having just woken up.

Whoa Walter Samuel... Didn't know he was still playing...
Have great admiration for Basel trying to get their foot in the door so consistently with Europe's best 16.

seems a bit of a contradiction that the man so moral to be above committing a professional foul has no problem purposefully creating a water logged pitch to give his team an advantage.
― mizzell, Friday, 12 December 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link
yeah i thought the same thing but his argument would probably have been that it affected both teams equally, rather like the anatole france quote about rich and poor both being forbidden from sleeping under bridges

From a Leverkusen perspective, Atletico doesn't feel like the total nightmare Real/Barca could have been. Nonetheless totally hopeless, and inevitable after bottling going through first in the last two matches...
