So, judging from what we've seen of Pogba so far ... Conte should start thinking about how to mold our 3-5-2 to accommodate Black Verratti. I think he's wasted as Pirlo's substitute, as Conte seems to have figured out as well. He can certainly play decently as a DM / deep lying playmaker, but he's just too talented and dangerous up front to be confined there. He's got it all: first touch, fantastic shooting technique with both feet, dribbling, strong heading, great vision and he's a fucking beast of a man. In a Boateng-like role he'd be a 10+ goals per season player.

3-6-1? I mean who are we kidding here, our midfielders know how to score better than our strikers.

Yeah he's a mix between Marchisio and Pirlo. He could be vice-anyone in midfield!


Edit: Credit to Nicky B again, he made four tackles and tracked back like an animal. AND HOW ABOUT THAT GIOVINCO. <3

Old: Andrea Pirlo hasn't lost a game in Serie A since October 30th, 2010. TWO YEARS!

New: His last loss was to Juve. :p /INCEPTION

That goal doesn't happen in the Premier League. Jonny Evans lunges at him two footed, and Messi gets sent off.

Yup, that's the real tragedy. Imagine if we had Cavani ... Btw, any truth to the Villa rumors? Is Barca really thinking about getting rid of him? Seems complete bullshit to me.

It's bullshit, Villa has been really consistent since coming back. Much better than expected. Sanchez on the other hand... Not so much. It rather have Pedro on the field than Alexis.

Dorados de Culiacán just became the new Copa MX champion. I don't particularly care for the team, but I lived in the state of Sinaloa for three years. People are going mental.

I'm happy Cuauhtémoc Blanco won a title. :) He may have been an Americanista, but I cannot deny his talent. Sad he only won two club trophies in his entire career.

EDIT: the cup is really snazzy

My 3-step guide to make us decent

Tap up Huntelaar now
Get a real second choice DM
Fuck Carragher off*


*whether he played well or not


Suarez is so, so important. If he carries on like this, will he be world class?

edit: Wow this Wooton guy seems clumsy

I would love to see Suarez and Huntelaar coming back together. As an Ajax fan I know how awesome they are in the same team.

He's putting a decent percentage of them in the net recently though. Even his winner against Everton, they're the types of chances where you're not surprised when he twats them over

Fuck off Nazio

True, he's up there with the top scorers of the premier league. Would be first if the legal goal against Everton had been validated. But three of his 6 goals came from one match, so it's a little misleading. Also:

'Luis Suarez has missed the target from inside the box 22 times this season; 9 times more than any other player in the top 5 leagues.'
He needs to be putting those away. Or just sign Huntelaar already!

To be fair, that stat is misleading since he;s the only player we have who consistently gets chances inside the box.

For instance, Bayern have Mandzukic, Robben, Muller and Ribery regularly shooting from inside the box

We need to get Sterling, Assaidi, Downing and Suso trained up in attacking the right areas of the box depending where the ball is


edit: And why do people keep mentioning Suarez's hatrick at Norwich as a misleading record, but not Van Persie's at Southampton?

When you have one player who is head and shoulders over everyone else, it's hard not to call them a one man team. I mean, Utd is basically RVP + Rooney, and then 9 others that don't really matter.

I think you're not giving enough credit to Xabi Alonso and Mascherano. That was a beast of a team.

They were a brilliant axis, the cogs of the team. Without Torres and Gerrard, there was no magic or consistent goal threat though

RAWK seem to think that Coates played particularly well. Seems like whenever he plays well, we concede 3+

Coates did a job when he came on vs Everton.

He's also always partnered with Carragher, and usually two young fullbacks and a weak midfield. It's not his fault, really. You rarely see him out of position or making an error that results in a goal.

I should have learned after Tuesday that watching just the first-half of a Capital One Cup game would come back and bite me.
