The Everton game was the one where I came to realise how good he can be. Was snatching at his shots and missing but he was there for everything. Alert to attacking opportunities that others weren't.
God I hope he's back soon. Colombian press think he'll be left out of their squad. Hope that's not the case. Would mean he's still injured.

Fantastic (German) interview with Philipp Lahm: http://sz-magazin.sueddeutsche.de/texte/anzeigen/42336/1/1
I'm noticing a distinct lack of football-related statements.
It's an event about the positives of multi-media communications and how it can benefit your business. Doubt you'll hear much football talk. Still embarrassing that United have whored themselves out to this extent tho.

Our website is so crappy
totally agree about Arsenal's off the ball movement (or lack thereof). Theo's good at it, Giroud actually makes pretty intelligent runs (he's just so fucking slow), just about everyone else isn't. it's been the biggest difference (along with the complete lack of pressing) between Pep's Barcelona, in their heyday, and Wenger's last few teams. there just doesn't seem to be much structure to the way these players play together; they just have the freedom to whatever they want. obviously having Messi and co helps you win trophies, but Pep was also a pretty innovative manager. Wenger should have been taking notes.
We both love FCB <3

Rooney's pass completion rate was 74%. It was 50% in the opposition half
Basically, he was a reason many forward runs broke down

Gave it away so many times but people will ignore that because he made that great run
People will ignore it because it was his first game back since the month of September
(among other reasons)

Fellani came back after a long time...his passing rate was 90%
Played for England twice in October didn't he
Should have been refreshed m8
Regardless, he does that in every game. wasn't terrible when you take the entire game as a whole, but he gives the ball away far too often.

Not just that, his movement off the ball can be disappointing too compared to Herrera who could have played in the same position as he did yesterday
e.g.:
Moves away after calling for pass

Refuses to find space where the ball could be passed to him...

Doesn't make forward run with DM dragging people with him

This is why lot of people love him though:

When you attempt to conjure magic and win the game for your team, it doesn't always come off.
Remember that run? Could has won you's the game.
Do you want 100% passing but someone like Daley Blind who is of the Tom Cleverley mould?

That first one pissed me off just watching it again. Christ.
I'd like a happy medium between safe unremarkable passing and haphazard passing which breaks down attacks often and gifts possession to the opposition.
Yeah cool, he made a good run. Then he did fuck all at the end of it. The opening RVP fashioned for his own shot actually had an end result.

He didn't attempt to conjure magic, apart from that run which ended up in damp squid.
And you are completely underrating Blind

Stats is for people who don't understand football
There I said it
Moyes has 95% winning rate in Europe or some shit
Greatest European manager of our time?.....

Yes
It very true, Giroud makes AWESOME runs but I'm pretty sure a tortose on kettamine could out pace him.
One thing that annoys me, and I'll never know. We talk about these things, regular football fans and it seems pretty clear you and I can see the problem right and it'd be fair to assume neither of us have access to footage of every game over the past year from 100 of different camera angles etc. Nor do either us do this professionally... so why can we see what is so painstakingly obvious but Wenger cant see it or just does nothing about it.
I mean I always give managers the benefit of the doubt, because football fans are worse the arm chair developers (maybe a toss actually). And I reckon that pretty much anyone doing the job professionally in the a top league probably knows more than me. But some of the mistakes I see week in week out really makes me question this.
