Bayern fans :lol


Win 8:0 at the weekend

37 points clear at the top of the Bundesplate

Draw away in the first leg of a CL tie, and react like they've been relegated

considering the quality we have in our squad, it is ridiculous to be playing like shit. And most of that could be related to Pep changing the formation for every match. Players just can't change from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 to 3-4-3 to 3-3-3-1 every week

Did anyone actually use listening mode in the last of us?

I hope not. It's such a stupid thing to put into the game but I understand why they had to


Bit fucking spoilt of Bayern fans to be complaining about a scoreless draw with ten men away in the Champions League.

Lol yep.

I even pointed out that pep wasn't very good for barca away in cl either but that doesn't seem to matter.

Without alonso and with 11 players, at home, they will destroy Shakhtar. Can't wait to read back to these pages after that happens

I would feel the same way, but I don't know anymore. I used to be a bit bigger on the power of that Allianz, but these last few years we've been just ok at home. I remember not being worried about the 1-0 in Madrid because we were coming home for the second leg and we'd be fine. Wrong. I remember playing the final in our own stadium against Chelsea. How could we mess up that far in? We did. Those are the high profile cases but it actually happens a solid amount looking back the last 4 years where our home record hasn't been as good as it definitely could and should be.

I don't trust Pep with much either though. Even if we did win the CL with a player like fucking Rafinha in the starting 11, I'd criticize the total idiocy of the decision. We could win constantly, which we mostly do, but Pep still makes dumb choices and has shown that he doesn't always know what he is doing. Maybe I am spoiled now by these years of success, but I figure I can criticize the team's issues just as much as some other team. Just because they are in a worse situation doesn't mean my issues don't exist. It is reasonable for the fans to demand better, I think, and I don't understand why it is just us doing it at this level.

Edit: RIP Tito.

Another Edit: FF, thank you dearly for suggesting CDM. I don't mention my games much but I had an away match today and we've been solid since our formation shift. You're making my coach look like a genius and I am pretty sure I am next in line for the captain spot on my team.

Don't think anyone is saying Bayern shouldn't go through easily m8.

That's not a big deal.

A big deal is not getting a beating from Madrid or similar in the next rounds like last season.

Which is what this kind of exhibitions have the fans fearing for.

Understandably so.

^ wrong jts.

FF, pls. Enrique is a fraud. Pep is a fraud. Tito (R.I.P) was the true genius.

I wouldn't have known where to put you if it wasn't for Pep. thank him, not me.

I'd take midfield advice from Pep, that's fine and dandy. As for defending and putting balls in the net, my incompetent grumpy coach will do just fine.

Finally back, I needed some Ice cream to deal with the frustrations of Pep's inadequacy. [...]

Incompetent fool. His only redeeming quality is his fashion sense and inherited success with Barca. Doesn't help that he is also a prick on top of being devoid of any real tactical ability.

Woah.

You are quickly becoming my favourite poster.

why? I played on hard and had to use it when there were a lot of those blind zombies

It's less intense, its cheating(well in other games seeing through walls is cheating) and unrealistic.

The fear of not knowing where the enemy is or where they are going to come from is the best part.

Just hearing the clicking and shitting your pants every time you move forward. So good.

When you do the listening thing, you go "oh cool, clicker is over there, I can safely just go over here" kinda ruins the whole survival aspect.

Hey. Since when do fucking normal humans use a half-tuck.

That never stopped Naughty Dog from anything.

That's not my point mate.

You don't have fear or suspense moving into a room when you can see through the wall and know there's nothing there.

You'd have to throw a brick in there, see if anything comes to check up what made the sound, then move forward slowly checking all directions for enemies.

In first person shooters the term is wall hacking and considered cheating for a reason lol.

You know where your opponent is, unfair advantage.

You lot are all surprised and disgusted, I like that. I was too when I came to the US. Since my Dad's job called us to Austin, I've seen my fair share of far worse down in the southern US. Humanity is awful, I swear. They're worse here than the guys I knew attacking the Turks back home.
