lol I didn't even see your post m8! I was just saying in general, people that hate either style for being "boring" can whine but in the end, if it gets the win it won't matter how they did it.
For example, other than some crazy person like Elsk(RIP), which Bayern fan would be upset if Bayern boring tinki tonka'd their way to being the first team to win the CL twice in a row? None.

Almost a conclusive answer. If anybody ever wants to play, shoot me a PM.
Yes, thats because of our players being worldclass with the ball and confident enough to play vertical passes from midfield to the oppositions box and back. Risky, but thats how Barca played under Pep and Bayern under him now.
There is a diffierence in tactics. On paper the posession is the only data that Xavi is interested in, but we had for example only 35% posession against Barca too in the last years semis and everyone was hyping Bayerns playstile like crazy. The difference is that we let them play their game until they reached our side of the pitch and we attacked that aggressively and every counter was a goal. Just like you did in 2011 and 12 against us too. Barcas tiki taka was boring because it resulted in nothing, our tiki taka is a mean to tire out the opposition and start attacking with Robben and Ribery. United tried that but lacked the players and many other Budnesliga teams simply dont have that many players that have the skill to play like that.
You dont need to be a genius to see how to beat Bayern. The key is to have less posession, but you need a capable midfield and fast counter players that could finish and not just hoping that defending with 10 men will somehow save you.

I'd take him over Ramos.
But we ̶a̶̶r̶̶e̶ already ̶d̶̶e̶̶a̶̶d̶ signed Ramos.
Depends on your point of view I guess. If you like to watch just for your entertainment, then yes, this box to box or kick and rush style of play is entertaining. Looks like every tactic is legit as long as it has success.
Its why its the only league I like to watch
Shame Ajax can't join it
Dutch league is nice cause its pretty even
I won't go so far as to call it admirable, as it is anything but, that said; the way that they've gone about comprehensively dismantling these regulations is incredible. They're most certainly going on another spending spree this summer while other less 'prudent' clubs are having their practices called into question. Some of which could barely afford Borini.
FFP is only making City waste more resources to appear book friendly.
I bare no ill will to the club but I do wonder what the benefit of FFP to the average club is.

KidA, pls give me a report on Januzaj's performance. I saw him get subbed in. Pep was probably shitting himself.
I had the game open but could not watch it due to my eyes being stuck on the Atletico game...eyes filled with hope, only to die at the hands of Pinto and Mascherano.
he did as much as in those gifs KidA is always posting
januzay_does nothing_in_gif.gif
Well that's why I watch Football.
Of course, but all I'm saying is that I am indeed entertained by Bayern this season. They play different and less spectacular, but are effective like last year.

Okay, serious answer.
Don't even try to compete with IRAQIcitizen. He is top defender in world of clubs. you will never have the honour of playing alongside him.
I have no idea if Shatner actually plays.
Freewheelin is almost as bad as he is in Last of Us.
I am UCK_MY_ICK, add me if you want. But I live in New Zealand and people make excuses about lag.
Blablurn only plays PES vs Rvy 24/7.
your scouts were in Italy (for the 5th time?!) watching Immobile last week.
you could do much worse. Like Ramos.
When I get PS4 I will destroy you on FIFA and get revenge for Moyseh

Too bad bla will never get a PS4 in his life.
Januzaj did about as much as £40m Gotze did over the two legs.
Guys help me out here.
If EU law makes it so that a team has to be allowed to play foreigners, wouldn't EU law also make it so that a team from any country can join any league?
I think it would be illegal not to allow PSG or Ajax join the PL as it obstructs free market as the EUSSR envisions it.

Well that's why I watch Football.
whyy
your players can!
I don't care about the league as a whole. I only care about United and I've seen some of the most awful football ever.
He only had like two touches. A shit shot and a dribble where one of the 3 players surrounding him fouled him.
I think Heyncke's Bayern were more inventive though, not taking as many unnecessary touches and all.
It was so strange; even with their destructive defensive styles they are capable of much more. It felt like some did not bother to show up. Neymar tried at times, true, which is more than can be said about much of the team. Mascherano in particular was horribly disappointing; Scary if the FIFA ban stands and Pinto is 1st choice keeper at Barca for a year!

In an interview last season (?) he said as much while adding that he reads it before he goes to sleep every night.
We have the Welsh Xavi so I can't see Brendan being interested.
Bla pls.
YNWA
Are you playing with Barca? I only play with Bayern which is tough since they don't have overpowered players like Messi, CR7 or Bale
I am most certainly the best FIFA player here. Held clubs together when I wasn't getting kicked out due to wireless only connection ;_;

Since there's nothing left to play for this season it's time start looking at rebuilding. This team:
---------------- Rooney ---------------
Kagawa ------- Mata ------- Winger
----------- Willy C --- CM ------------
Coentrao - Evans - Jones - Rafael
---------------- De Gea ----------------
*With "winger" being Januzaj/Valencia/Reus(lol)/Griezmann(?) and "CM" being someone really top class like Kroos/Gundogan, however unlikely they may be.
Would have pace, balls, composure and a substantial goal threat and if we didn't have Europa league, should really be challenging for the title again.
Weaknesses would still lie in our injury prone defence and a quality CB would be nice, but fucking hell, if Moyes didn't have us at the very least in the top four around christmas time with that, he should be out the door.
A bit of positivity. It's all we have left.

Hi Fady
Is Neymar a flop?
Would you rather have Bale?
Is Tiki taka boring?
Welcome to the Amici di Nessuno club! <3

Allen's not the Welsh Xavi; Xavi is the Spanish Allen.

Bla, I clearly said YNWA at the bottom. Used Liverpool m8.
How is using Bayern tough lol. Wtf. I'd win Div 1 like 60-1-0 with Bayern.
You were both born and killed in an offside position.
