That low? Eriksen and Sulejmani are not playing tonight?

Yeah of the players we bought, so in this case Eriksen is worth 1,5m.

Tonight:

-----------------Vermeer----------------
Van Rhijn-Alderweireld-Moisander-Blind
------------------Poulsen-----------------
De jong---------------------Eriksen
Sana---------Babel------Boerrigter

Wasn't feeling the tactics last night.

The set up against Newcastle was much better. Last night was too narrow. I'd like us to try a similar formation going forwards. The back four, Fletcher sitting, two midfielder players but only one of Scholes/Carrick - so either Cleverley, Anderson or even Kagawa there speeding things up and getting us on the front foot. And then a front three where RVP plays through the middle and we have Rooney and Kagawa drifting and starting out wide to stretch things.

No idea if that makes sense but that's how I'd like to see us play.

One thing's for sure. No more 442. Please.

Last night was still an improvement over the shite we witnessed on Saturday. Cluj aren't as good as Spurs but still...

Our midfield was mobile and direct. Also offered a bit of cover for defence too. Now watch us revert back to wingers and a two man midfield for the Newcastle game.

What does Evra have over SAF that guarantees his selection every game. He's shite ffs. It''s gotten beyond a joke now.

It's transfer money Ajax paid, not market value I'm guessing. And Sulejmani isn't playing, he's injured for several months. Otherwise he would be good 16,25 million euros. Most expensive Ajax transfer ever.

Think he means what they bought their players for, not their sales value.

Oh, sorry, thanks for the clarification, makes more sense now.
Will the Anderlecht-Malaga game be good or will it be total shit? Never seen those teams play.
Probably good, Isco (Malaga player) is really good.

This is quite funny. Mike Tyson was granted a temporary visa to enter New Zealand with despite his rape conviction. John Key, nz prime minister, disapproved of the decision and now immigration have changed their mind and Mike Tyson is not allowed into New Zealand anymore.

damn I guess thats that for visiting you :(

I'm convinced it's at least half-deliberate, the way he makes himself irrelevant and useless when the ball is in his corner.

Büttner deserves the chance to show that he's willing to try and inhibit crosses.
 
I wish he took the decision to not push for a transfer (the agent). Lewa is a fantastic striker and BVB needs him if they want to go on expanding their squad into a powerhouse.

Dortmund can be better in the CL, they are top 5 material in Europe when they all give their best. I hope it will show this season, and tonight, already.
No way. We could certainly beat most teams in Europe if everyone gave their best on that day, but I wouldn't put us anywhere close to the top5 (I guess: Chelsea, Real, Barca, Bayern & Utd.)


Hopefully it happens for the sake of Chicharito. Dortmund is a great team.
Some 15m euros + Chicharito is not bad at all! We lack a typical poacher like him and yeah, Klopp could bend him into shape.
I feel like Schieber can become quite the Lewandowski himself. He already shows some glimpses of quality when plucking down long passes or shielding the ball.
But I'd rather we renewed with Lewa :|


Having said that I hope Lewandowski feels like he's doing a job interview today (= play extra well) and we can clinch a draw.

Looking forward to tonight's game against Real Madrid. Don't think we'll stand any chance, but I hope we can make a draw out of it :p

At least Messi warned us for their fast counters. Thanks you Lionel!

Barça fans are cheerng for you all over the world!

Yea buddy. I beat you with United cause I took Evra out and put the future best LB ever; Buttner in. He actually was my MOTM for that game against Barca lol.


Then Ibra went 3 for 3, 3 shots, 3 goals by the 20th min in the last game lol.

Trying to understand betting and accumulators and all that bollocks.

So for example City and Dortmund - both teams to score is 8/15. What does that mean lol!

Is that a good bet or not? I'm a total noob.
 
I got bored half-way during AC 1. Bought 2 the year after and got bored half-way through that too. I think I'm done with the series.

If you put 15 quid on City to score first you'll only get 8 quid in winnings.

Not a good bet at all.

Even dc1200 is getting in on the betting fun.

Lol the only football bet I have ever placed was the group accumulator and technically I didn't even place it!

I've never bet on anything because I don't really understand it.

You missed the remote control selotaped to the fag-burned, manky old armchair while watching Jeremy Kyle on a CRT from the early 90s

@dc, neither do I. Bit of fun if you have disposable income, bad habit to get into if it becomes an obsession

Do any of you actually win money from sports gambling? Surely the odds not being in your favour would result in losses in the long run.

I'm up a huge amount from all the transfer betting this summer. Also Kean being sacked and a few accumulators I've placed have come off.

I actually dislike the idea, but I'm good at it. If you don't know what you're doing then it's not a good idea. Also know your limits and don't put on what you can't afford to lose. Just follow someone like Chasing Profit if you want to make a few quid.

I'm up overall, but slightly down this season so far. Got a few bets for tonight lined up which should help though.
