Babel is a salt-filled nutcase, but giving Bale that much freedom to move from the wings to the middle was always going to cause some overlapping with Ronaldo, who has transitioned his game to be more of a clinical finisher that plays on the wing. Suddenly the whole team is not playing for him.
He'll still get plenty of chances.

No surprise there one of the best players of serie a and the next modric
Let's get this started already! HALA MADRID!
James is just incredible.

I love James. I'm convinced he's going to be our MVP this year.
Ronaldo had his chances, 5 really good on-target shots, bad luck tonight. I kinda liked Bale taking shots from mid (his second goal), looked like his natural form.

He's definitely our most talented player.
His buyout fee really seems cheap now.

+3 points, check. That's what matters.
Rafa got his substitutions on point tonight, his tactics were also spot on. I really enjoyed how we were fluid throughout our formations as we changed on the fly.
Rafa needs some credit tonight.

He won't get any til he wins a massive match from what I can tell. Any win aside from that will be shrugged off as 'yeah, well we should be beating them'
him and Isco were already MVPs last year

So I see Chelsea have Everton away next... yeah this situation may get worse before it gets better.
Unless in the next few days Rom goes mental with the credit card.

Went back to watch the highlights of the Liverpool game, how does Brenda continue to make the same mistakes over and over again? Benteke seems to be Struggling as a lone striker and a year from now he'd be in the same boat as Mario. I cannot understand why he insists on playing a lone striker when there's no one around to feed said lone striker, at this rate theres no difference between Brenda and a turkey. Christmas is coming

Just got to see the Noble red.
What on earth was the ref thinking?

Am I expressing myself wrong here?
All I said is that the pen for Köln was OK from where the ref was standing. There is contact, it's only a matter how you rate it. Had he had another angle on it it wouldn't have been. Simple as that.
The supposed pen for Hamburg would have been a wrong call. Of course handball is one of the most controversial soccer rules and solely a subjective thing. Risse isn't in anyway magnifying his body area nor is his arm position unnatural. So the solely remaining criteria for a handball is intention, with is (in my opinion) diminished by the ultra short shot distance. But again: different people, different perceptions.
And last but not least: Aytekin wasn't in Hamburg's fitting room and neither did he apologize to Spahic.
Was a pitiful decision.
Also did you see the Huth play for Leicester that didn't get a red? Astounding.
This so much!!!
This summer was just insane. I wonder when the teams will learn.
It only harms the national team but nobody probably cares if the owners of the top teams are saudi sheikhs, russian oligarchs and american entrepeneurs

Well if Hernandez goes to Leverkusen we really are in a pickle striker wise.

nice deal I guess but to be honest haven't seen anything from him
I hope he surprises us in a positive way
he is a likeable guy but he was never good enogh for the team to be honest. his sloppyness nearly costed us the cl title
But ultimately he didn't cost us the title. Instead he paved the way for one of the most memorable moments in Bayern history.
You know who also nearly cost us a title? Andersson. Subsequently gave us the most dramatic finish in Bundesliga history.
I rest my nonsensical case.

agreed, it's shocking.
i think i'm finally coming round to not thinking he's not good enough. i've given him a lot of slack because i want it to work. it wasn't that we lost, it's how much he misread and misunderstood the game. really really concerning.

You know it will be the same starting 11 as always, they are all tired and need a break.
If ivanovic starts yet again and plays 90 minutes then jose has mental problems.
I love the team but the amount of minutes those players have played without a proper rest is absurd.
We have so many other options yet never give those players the chance they deserve.
Everton away will be a huge test and unless we rotate nothing will change.

I think I'm done with him if Lovren starts against Man Utd
Sakho is clearly the superior player, therefore its obvious that Rodgers' ego is taking precedent over what's good for the team. That is not acceptable, at all.
Whats the deal with Sakho anyway? How come he's stuck on bench warming?

Aforementioned ego
Rodgers seems desperate to get Lovren in the team and playing to his 13/14 standard, and we've conceded countless goals because of it.
Get the feeling that Sakho was a signing made by Rodgers and the committee, while Lovren was all Rodgers, and therefore something of a pet project.
He's never going to work out here, his decision-making is just too poor when we're not parking something of a bus. Rodgers is probably the only person in the world who has a vested interest in seeing us do well, who thinks that Lovren should be playing instead of Sakho. Not that Sakho's brilliant or anything, but Lovren is atrocious.
what the flying fuck is up with Chelsea this year?
My Benfica is a disgrace this year but damn Mourinho
also, heres a random gif of Raul Jimenez first goal for us, hopefully he will have more luck with us than he had at Atletico Madrid

As a Porto fan, I was happy, then angry, then happy again, then WTF angry. So many goals in 15 minutes... don't play with me like that.
Anyway, here's hoping that Zpoooorting fuck up.
Mourinho will relish this and win Champions League, don't worry.
Swansea is the first test for ManU, LVG i want to see a good perfomance please
