I think Rode could do well as a CB. I am curious to see how we will lineup next match though.

hopefully:

Benatia-Alonso and Rode as DM

what we will see:

Dante-Rafinha as CB and Alonso as DM

 

[Sloosha]

What a week to bench Callum Wilson.

Lol Spurs.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Oh Spurs, will you ever not Spur?

 

[Hopfrog]

Christ Spurs. FFS.

 

[MultiJhonny]

hopefully Benatia-Alonso and Rode as DM

I hope Benatia's injury isn't serious but it didn't look good.

But yeah Dante back there makes me nervous..

 

[A Serious Man]

And Palace pulls ahead.

 

[Lashley]

Piss off Swansea.

Acca let down for the tenth time in a row by 1 team.

 

[yagal]

La SERIE A sta per iniziare. Forza.........la giustizia sportiva

SERIE A is about to start.

 

[slider]

Fucking West Ham. The squad is clearly imbalanced.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Away win at Preston. Christ.

Maybe this will finally be our year?

I hate this. It's the hope that ultimately crushes you.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

West Ham Bournemouth match was wild.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Wow, well played Bournemouth. They deserved more at Anfield so I feel less guilty now.

 

[Dark Rider]

ah
the fresh smell of a new season starting up

 

[Confrontation]

This Roma match has become really good to watch.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So Benatia has a hamstring tear... great

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

De Bruyne so fucked up against us today! Thank god!

 

[bonesmccoy]

Spurs conceding 15 seconds after scoring is the most Spurs thing I've seen yet in 2015.

 

[Lashley]

Roma doing what they do best - Drawing.

 

[Confrontation]

When will Gervinho finally shave his hair.

 

[MultiJhonny]

wow florian klein with 2 stupid challenges in a row and gets rightly sent off. one lazy challenge to get a yellow and then a second on Holtby that could have been a straight red

 

[StealthGoblin]

Fucking West Ham. The squad is clearly imbalanced.

Discipline is a huge issue for us.

We've had five red cards in our season so far.

 

[Confrontation]

Rafael just had the save of the year arguably already.

 

[VLiberty]

Roma lol

Congratulations on your 5th title in a row, Juve

Yeah, I'd kind of tried to ignore the Europa ones by putting it down to wiley, experienced Euro teams against... erm, us; the little team that could. But if this continues we'll be in all sorts of trouble.

Still, six goals so far ain't too bad.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Hamburg with the 3 points.

Fun past 10 minutes to watch

 

[Dark Rider]

Las Palmas first game is against Atletico Madrid
tough one

 

[Exterminieren]

Fucking hell, Wolves.

Going to be a long season. Not enough money spent, and far too many unblooded kids in important positions.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fucking hell, Wolves.

Going to be a long season. Not enough money spent, and far too many unblooded kids in important positions.

Ojo loan may turn out to have been a bad choice, loaned kids are the first to be dropped when things go wrong

Quite like Wolves as well

 

[Gambit]

hopefully:

Benatia-Alonso and Rode as DM

what we will see:

Dante-Rafinha as CB and Alonso as DM

I am guessing Alaba as CB and Bernat will take his place. So Bernat-Dante-Alaba-Rafinha

So Benatia has a hamstring tear... great

wonderful news...

 

[Rhaknar]

Anyone else got a feeling Barça will absolutely destroy Bilbao tomorrow?

 

[Blablurn]

Vidal pls

Hopefully when Song signs we'll stop a lot of those balls getting through midfield and put in a few more biting, but non-cardable tackles.

 

[Moobabe]

Looking forward to MOTD tonight! And hopefully a win for Chelsea tomorrow

Anyone else got a feeling Barça will absolutely destroy Bilbao tomorrow?

that will be a given
Bilbao spent all their energy in super cup, they could play for one half only in EL and completely die in the second half conceding 3 goals and losing the match 3-2
Barcelona want revenge vs. dead Athletic Bilbao

bonus: if Bilbao want to qualify for EL groups they need to save some energy to turn that lose in the first leg

Bilbao is double dead
the wise thing to do in the Barcelona match is to save energy and get the least damage possible then unleash their power in EL second leg mid-week to secure that EL group stage spot

That was literally my complete train of thought. Juicy odds at the bookies on Barça -1, which I really think they should easily be able to cover.

they should
but this is football so it is possible that Barcelona go for a fail fest to convert chances to goals and Bilbao get away with a draw or even snatch a goal off a counter

Yup, and that defense is riddled with holes at the moment.

Or an insane save, like today in the Roma game in the 89th minute:

https://streamable.com/iy2j
That was an absolutely incredible reflex and then to drop as quickly as that. Beautiful.

 

[yagal]

How times have changed…

 

[Oersted]

De Bruyne so fucked up against us today! Thank god!

Wolfsburg depends way too much on him.

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

Wolfsburg depends way too much on him.

Could have gotten them the win easily. He was 1 on 1 with our keeper lying on the ground. Only had to lob and score, bud instead passed it to Horn.

 

[brokenbeans]

More Bale nonsense in the papers today.

 

[DCharlie]

Away win at Preston. Christ.

Maybe this will finally be our year?

I hate this. It's the hope that ultimately crushes you.

I am sort of weirdly glad we screwed up against Brentford.

Could you imagine the nose bleed of 12 pts from 12 in the league and being through in the cup?


I still remember going to Portman Rd in the late 90s when we , you know, were actually an extremely good footballing side who just couldn't get out that stupid division.

These days it really does seem to take a huge slice of luck and a sliver of consistency and it's the later of the two that Mick seems to have brought us.

 

[Blablurn]

So Benatia injured and Boateng suspended?

We are fucked aren't we? Pep is seriously gonna start 10 midfielders next week.

 

[Lyng]

More Bale nonsense in the papers today.

And Neymar. British journalists are the worst. First they spout some nonsense about United targeting these unrealistic players and then when its revealed that United where not in the business for these targets, they claim the players snubbed United and that United is stupid for chasing them xD

The worst part though is all the silly muppets who believe them.

 

[DCharlie]

Yeah, the Neymar story is clearly just a smoke screen to hide the fact that United are seemingly unable to close out deals for players who have other options other than going to United.

I don't think Ed Woodward is the man for this job.

 

[Blablurn]

Shit. De Bruyne missed an easy game winning goal right at the end of the game. The dude seems to be in manchester already with his mind. His last two games were terrible.

 

[ohyouagain]

Hoffenheim's performance was miserable, like Konami-miserable. Bayern have already won the league if everyone's knees are trembling even before even setting foot on the pitch.
