Dat Modric ball :O

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

They're playing a high and fairly narrow back three against a team that is ideally built to exploit that. They were getting passed through over and over until the goal happened.

High yes but back three? Not as far as I'm seeing.

 

[DominoKid]

this high line is tragic.

Still happening, Martinez.

 

[panty]

And we still suck defending corners.

Fucking stream also dying.

 

[ShogunX]

That ball from Modric was excellent. Not sure Everton are cut out for this high line stuff.

I've also come to the conclusion that if Real Madrid played in the Premiership they would concede at least one goal per match from a set piece.

 

[Suen]

Modric soooo good!!

 

[Meier]

Really unlucky for Everton there. Fellaini is fun to watch.. he's such a big dude. His shorts look absurdly short. :lol

 

[Fergie]

Diving DNA?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Modric is pure love...wait I already said tha <3

Also Casillas can't still catch a damn aerial ball...wait I already said that.

If Diego Lopez isn't the main goalkeeper I'll call bullshit.

 

[Shake Appeal]

High yes but back three? Not as far as I'm seeing.

Look at their shape on goal kicks: it's 3-4-3. They have "wing backs" who drop back on their respective sides when defending so it looks like a back four, but the core of the defence is three central defenders.

Problem is when they get cut open on the counter and can't adopt their proper defensive shape in time.

They always concede, they just usually score more.

Martinez is bringing Everton to ruin.

Rescue Baines and Fellaini, Moysey.

In open play they're definitely flat 4.

In open play they're definitely flat 4.

Again, no. Only when they don't have the ball.

 

[KidA Seven]

Ozil is so shit, Isco better not get benched for that weakling.

Shut up. You're hate for Ozil clouds your judgement.

I don't think Moyes is a better coach than Martinez necessarily. Kinda like this Everton kit.. the sleeves are classy.

Just like Wigan last season. His teams can't defend for shit

Happy birthday Wilbz <3

 

[Wilbur]

Yes he is. I like Martinez, but he took a team that finished 11th and barely escaped relegation a few times and then did get relegated.

Moyes achieved mixtures of 4th, 6th, 7th, 6th, 6th with Everton. That's a phenomenal achievement. Far more than Wigan's FA Cup win.

And thanks shorty <3 give me the good stuff mama

 

[Messi]

Happy birthday Wilbz <3

I always read your name as Shorty Time.

 

[FootballFan]

Shut up. You're hate for Ozil clouds your judgement.

He's a good player(very good even) but even a Madrid/Germany fan will tell you he is weak, low in stamina, has the tendency to disappear for a lot of the game, and is pretty inconsistent.

Nearly all those things could be easily fixed if he put some work/effort into improving but he doesn't.

3 years ago he was talking about trying to win the Ballon d'Or. He is the same player he was 3 years ago.

 

[panty]

Dat Khedira interception.

 

[Meier]

OMG how did Everton not score there. Naismith couldn't possibly have been more open.. yikes.

 

[panty]

Arbeloa keeps passing shitty passes to Özil...

 

[Batigol]

Arbeloa keeps passing shitty passes to Özil...

He needs to be shot into the sun

 

[pulga]

Anyone have a decent link to the game for mobile?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Arbeloa keeps passing shitty passes to Özil...

Again, he was never cut for that job, he's a good defender that's all, once you ask him more it shows his weaknesses.

 

[panty]

Subs for next half,

Cheryshev->Marcelo
Jese/Morata->Benz
Casemiro->Modric
Di Maria->Özil
Carvajal->Arbeloa
Nacho->Pepe

 

[Suen]

Too sleepy, good luck Madrid! Let Isco score!

Happy birthday Cuntbur!

[ShogunX]

Happy birthday Cuntbur!

Buy some.Never sleep again.

Happy birthday Wilbur.

Gary Neville's analysis of Pep Guardiola's split centrebacks

Great video. Gary Neville is the man.

Nice insight into how Pep Guardiola set up his CB's and DM too. Barca stopped doing this under Vilanova.

Gary Neville knows. <3

 

[Shake Appeal]

Oh my God, FOX have shown this Guinness Black Lager ad five times now. Maybe six. Since half-time.

 

[panty]

Why u bring Coentrao

 

[MPW]

Why u bring Coentrao

he can't be worse than marcelo today

 

[Messi]

Gary Neville knows. <3

Its sad that Barca lost that ability as time went on. It was gone completely under tito.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Why u bring Coentrao

Let the guy play his last match before leaving to Spurs lol

 

[Frank the Great]

Fucking hyped for Milan-Chelsea tomorrow, anyone else going?

 

[Scum]

Guinness are releasing a lager?

Edit: Oh it's not getting a UK release, explains why I haven't seen it around.

Yeah but realistically you can't really expect to continue the domination. Out of form players, players aging, off the field distractions like Shakira, injuries, illnesses to tito and abi <3, Pep leaving etc.

Though we have spent enough time now without a CL, this is the season we go back to the top.

 

[pulga]

I like Nacho. Can we have him and Varane as starters?

 

[Meier]

Mirallas burned Ronaldo and Ronnie looks like he came up a bit lame.

 

[panty]

Next training session: Passing

 

[Meier]

Looks okay now.

WHAT A SAVE by Howard! How did he reach that?! Nice little FIFA-style finesse shot from di Maria.
