How wasn't that a yellow card

 

[Fergie]

Santi is magic.

 

[Lambda Pie]

[L1NETT]

Oooo Santi dat touch

Credit to Pulis (yuck) he does make his sides damn tough to beat

 

[faridmon]

Everton Legend. I always knew you had it in you!

Spoiler

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[bud]

cazorla's an artist.

 

[Danchi]

Zipper update.

 

[FootballFan]

cazorla

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Still waiting for the slow mo of Santi's touch

 

[Elchele]

Frankfurt is resting players. "Will be tough". Come the fuck on.



Fink was shit. Kreuzer is even more shit. The whole fucking squad is shit.

Poor Bert.

Fink was kind of shit, but much better than Bert van Marwijk. Marwijk's tactics on defense are LvG level of shit

 

[Meier]

I love how they always cut to Wenger fiddling with his zipper for possible hilarity.

 

[Plasma]

Great tackle.

 

[Fergie]

Per is very solid.

 

[luxstellarum]

Whats with Wenger and that frikken jacket

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Zipper update.

It is why we have changed to Puma, German engineered zippers are all the rage.

 

[phaze]

Maybe this is why we kept Chamakh for so long, Wenger saw him constantly turning past Kos in training.

:lol


Oh God the Wenger coat actually works. Title challenge back on track !

 

[bud]

that triangle was the triangle of MUH DICK

 

[Gambit]

There's probably not many who have played it, but "Attck of the Friday Monsters" is so damn charming. It really does make you feel like a kid again.

Poor Bert.

the only good thing he has done was letting van Bommel shag his daughter.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Per is very solid.

Yeah, but he has the be perfect. When he gets to tight to players and they turn him without a successful tackle he is done for.

 

[bud]

when your defence consists of van buyten and thatonegermandudewho'salwaysinjured, and you're playing a high line, you're bound to get exposed every now and then. van gaal is a much better coach than van marwijk will ever be.

 

[Fergie]

Yeah, but he has the be perfect. When he gets to tight to players and they turn him without a successful tackle he is done for.

He's been pretty perfect this season. Rarely does he make a shit tackle.

 

[Plasma]

How is that not a foul on Giroud? He was all over him.

 

[Barzul]

How is that not a foul on Giroud? He was all over him.

No idea

 

[Elchele]

if you don't have the players to play high defensive line, then you don't play a high defensive line.

Lahm said that there was no plan if they lost the ball in the build-up during the van Gaal days. The idea of losing the ball in build-up was not possible for LvG, so every team fucked us every time.

At least the rest was good with LvG, but Marwijk is bad all-around. Don't understand why would they sack Fink for that clown

 

[Meier]

AOC's beard? is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

He's been pretty perfect this season. Rarely does he make a shit tackle.

Yep, but he got too tight earlier on in the game which led to Palace's one chance so far.

I think he has been our best player this season. Such a calming presence to Wojo as well it seems now.

 

[Blablurn]

sure about that quote? didnt he say van gaal was the first who brought a system and there was nothing like this before?

 

[phaze]

Poor Giroud got molested on that corner.

Merte ownage

 

[Lambda Pie]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

edit: zzzzzz to Cardiff, obviously. Arsenal's been stunning.

 

[FootballFan]

time for some Thiago magic.

 

[Batigol]

This is a fucking dire game.

Palace playing with 10 men behind the ball. Everyone except Jerome in their own box when Arsenal attack

Boring cunts

[Yurt]

WHAT HAPPENED

he had nice hair with Arsenal

you almost won the treble with van gaal, haha.

if it hadn't been for him, jupp wouldn't have won the treble.

van gaal laid the foundation for this team.

 

[FootballFan]

ughh I hope Arsenal score soon so these cunts come out of the box.

 

[Meier]

Truly miserable stuff thus far.

 

[Milchmonster]

Fink was kind of shit, but much better than Bert van Marwijk. Marwijk's tactics on defense are LvG level of shit

Westermann, Mancienne, Djourou, Tah, Sobiech, Lam, Diekmeier, Jansen

What the hell are you going to do with that shit

 

[Batigol]

The Pulis effect.

I don't know who's worse between him an Allardyce for killing games dead

 

[deroli]

LOOOL the final minutes of the Hertha - Nürnberg match were just too funny.

Nürnberg's keeper left the box trying to clear a ball but couldn't hit it properly, Ronny from Hertha shoots from 20 or 30m onto the open goal, a defender clears the ball on the line with his hands, Ramos scores the rebound, but the whistle was already blown. So what has the referee given? A goal? Nope. Red card + penalty? Nope. An offside position of Ramos? YES! loool. The icing on the cake? One minute later, Nürnberg got a penalty for a very stupid foul that led to the 3:1.

But I still don't know why Hertha wasn't awarded a penalty, too. Ahh football can be so funny sometimes, at least when those things don't happen to your club.

 

[L1NETT]

With the squad and manager they have, you can't expect Palace to do anything else apart from sit back.

At least their fans are enjoying summat.

 

[dc89]

Nearly had my leg broken today.

Sunday league.

Fuck Sunday league. If you have an ounce of skill you're just kicked

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I don't think I have ever seen a side with 80% possession play so bad.

I really expect more from Ozil. For 40 odd million he should be running into their box and conjuring up magic.

 

[FootballFan]

Fuck Sunday league. If you have an ounce of skill you're just kicked

DC is sunday league Ronaldinho.

 

[Elchele]

sure about that quote? didnt he say van gaal was the first who brought a system and there was nothing like this before?

I didn't find the exact quote, but something similar:

Lahm believes Bayern have suffered because of an insistence on overplaying in defence and feels a safety-first approach should be considered.

"We have to reconsider the way we build up play," he told Bild. "Because of errors in the build-up play, we've already lost too many points and conceded too many goals.

"We have sometimes taken too many risks, and in many situations we're making life difficult for ourselves. We can't always look to play elaborately when we have the ball at the back.

van gaal laid the foundation for this team.

Nothing of that changes the fact that his defensive tactics were complete SHIT.

 

[Ravensmash]

Palace's fans are brilliant.

It was amazing. I'm ok because I don't like Hertha.

typical sagna suicide mission.

god bless him.

Looooooooooooooooooooool

Are Hertha Berlin as good as they have started this season? I think they surprsied me when they just came out of nowhere to sit comfortably up there.

Fink is gone? Bloody Hell!

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Great Sagna broke his Arse

 

[K1LLER7]

DC is sunday league Ronaldinho.

He gets kicked because he's always late to the ball 8P
