I saw great beauty in the two counter attacking goals, the passing leading up towards them, but whatevs nakh

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.

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.

Feeling for the guy but that was dire by Mignolet

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...

Remember that Chelsea fan who used to post here? Pete something? I remember him once tearing a strip off me for associating Chelsea with Rangers, he was all, "How dare you try to infect us with your tawdry sectarianism", or words to that effect (obv., as a Celtic fan, sectarianism could be inferred in my case).
