You will beat them easily.

Well, I hope so.

Also, on the "Still searching" thing, it's a decent effort. But to be honest, I don't know a single BVB fan that gave a shit about it. Sure, losing the final to Bayern of all teams sucked but playing a final was awesome enough for us. Bayern fans coming up with winning the CL was predictable and kinda boring. They should have done something witty with Götze if they wanted to hit a weak spot.

I think Götze scoring the 1:0 was witty enough. Apparently the stadium got really quiet lol.

Enrique has had surgery and will be out for at least 10 weeks. Bugger. Flanagan played well but my first choice would be to play Johnson at LB and McLaughlin at RB.

First choice a youngster whose never played a game in his life for the first team?

I think Flanagan has earned his place, IMO. It's suicidal to have all out attackers on both flanks. It's something Wenger has always stuck to - a more offensive-minded fullback on one side who gets to the byline and joins the attack, and the other side a more defensive-minded player who only can whip in a cross if you win possession high up the pitch.

Stevie on Flanno:

There may have been eyebrows raised at Jon Flanagan's inclusion at left-back, particularly after the difficulties he faced in his favoured right-back role at Arsenal, but the 20-year-old produced a tireless, intelligent performance. It moved Steven Gerrard to say: "Our star man for me was Jon Flanagan by a country mile. He doesn't get many headlines but as captain of the team he was the player I am most proud of. I thought he was unbelievable. He's been fighting hard in training just to get in the 18, never mind the starting 11, but the manager threw him in at the deep end against a top-class player like [Kevin] Mirallas and I thought he was sensational. It was one of the best derby performances I have seen for many years. He reminds me of [Jamie] Carragher in a lot of ways. I don't think you would judge Jon in terms of ability or skill, but he is all about heart, desire, determination and fighting for the cause."

True but Bayern fans didn't have influence in Götze scoring.

 

[Elchele]

I really hope Dortmund gets a win tomorrow, CL would be too boring without them.

How do you expect the defense line to look like? Since Friedrich can't play

 

[GorillaJu]

Here's a good one:

our midfield against Leverkusen

hahahahahaha

oh

;_;

You guys did fine against Leverkusen last time and I think you will this time as well. It's that "do well in Europe, shit at home" formula that plagues PL teams so often.

I wouldn't give up on the CL, not just yet anyway. In his first year at Liverpool, Rafa won us the CL despite not playing well domestically.

 

[Elchele]

Oh man, I'm looking at Bayern's 'Player Positions', and it seems like Hipster Pep is using Mandzukic as a false nine!

Is this why his agent is angling for a transfer?

I think he has "personal" problems with Guardiola, also Lewa coming in the summer is basically saying "you're done here".

Our midfield vs Leverkusen can only consist of Giggs, Cleverley, and Anderson. Fellaini is suspended.

I can confirm this. Napoli are done.

Stevie on Flanno:

Yeah I had some serious reservations about Flanagan before the Arsenal match, but he's been solid in both matches played and deserves a run in the first team. He's definitely improved and matured since the last time he started.

that 0-0 in Turin was such an embarrassing result, one of our worst games under Capello.

Zlatan is no Trezeguet.

I must admit I have no idea. Bender could cover CB but he is very important as DM, see Saturday when he went off.

It's going to be Großkreutz-Sokratis-Bender/Kehl/Günter-Durm. I'd go with Bender in midfield, just keep Napoli away from our goal and we need no amazing CB.

I wish Trezeguet was Zlatan, then I'd go to the stadium every weekened

Zlatan is certainly more fun to watch.

Watched a three minute highlight video before of him vs Everton.

He got better as the game went on, deserves a run like you said. Huge chance for him.

 

[Blablurn]

Apparently Dortmund watch Napolis game together. I'm sure they laughed.

Think we'll have to go with three in midfield for this game to cover up the deficiencies we'd normally have with two midfielders. It leaves us with one less attacker, but so be it.

 

[KidA Seven]

I thought Jones would be out due to injury. I have no idea when he's supposed to be coming back, so it could be Wednesday.

Who wants a Balotelli? We'll throw in Matri and Zapata as well, it's an amazing bundle.

He'll play well for six months, then fuck everything up and show late to training TWICE in two days. 20m and he's yours. Matri and Zapata are free.

Joking aside, yesterday he showed up at Milanello 10 minutes late, today he was 25 minutes late. On Saturday, after the game vs Genoa, 400 Milan supporters clearly asked both Kakà and Abbiati to do something about the players who go clubbing until 6am when they have training the next morning (Kakà and Abbiati didn't try to even say that wasn't true, which says A LOT). If Balo has to be our top player with the highest wage while acting like this, then maybe it's for the best to sell him in January.

Also, I've to say that Kakà is way, way better than I expected. He's one of the few who actually cares about Milan (him, De Jong, Montolivo and maybe Abate and De Sciglio), too bad he's in a hopeless team with a hopeless manager and board.

holllllly fuck at those PSN digital game prices (UK)

All 3 EA Games (BF,NFS,FIFA) are £63!

And anyone who pays £53 for KZ or Knack needs their head examining.

I can't use him in mid on my FM save.

Just buy digital games off Amazon.com or US PSN, works out cheaper and you can play them on your UK account.

For all 3? Sounds expensive. Would only play FIFA garbage if free.

Its now a day after the All Blacks game and I feel no better.

Fuck everything.

I still can't believe we did so well against them in the first half so close to a first win

Yassin loves his mama

Great prospect, curious to see where he will play in 5 years or so

That's a shout, just absurd how EA can charge 63 squid for a game. Yay digital future on consoles. 180 for 3 games? You could buy a slim used PS3 500GB and The Last of Us for that money.

We played extremely well, bit that'll come as no consolation to the players. Some of those lads are close to retirement and won't have another chance to play New Zealand. Yesterday was their last chance and they fell just short. Just read some of the post game interviews given by the players; they're devastated.

This team is in a desperate need of a Conte-like manager. A sergente di ferro, if you will.

Go up. As soon as you get on the grass turn right, then left, then straight.

Yes, I would like some opinions from FIFA 14 PS4 users. I know the game is not next-gen at all, it's EA Sports, but I would like to know if the gameplay is still good.

I have to buy a game, mostly to try the PS4 disc drive, and FIFA 14 is my first choice.
