Sterling was shite last year
Maybe Pep would be unhappy to only win the league, but I think any fan would be mental to turn their noses up at that. They barely scraped fourth last year, and a lot of their players had been written off.
He's getting great performances out of a lot of players who I thought he'd want to upgrade on, Clichy, Sagna, Kolarov and Otamendi. He's spent a tonne of money of course, but his best work seems to be in raising the performance levels of those who were so disappointing last season, and the season before that as well.
Think its churlish as fuck to downplay the impact he's had so far tbh.
He's out of shape after the injury and Zizou insists on playing him.
Zidane being the one who makes the steps towards Ronaldo to shake hands and Ronaldo not even looking at him. Kind of shows who's who at Real.
Nah, he was still scoring lots of goals for Real.

I know, but he still played like shit. The only difference between then and a match like today is that today he didn't score.
VS Sporting in UCL he scored after a terrible match like this one too
I don't understand how can you have Kroos, Modric and Bale who all played so great at Euro and all of them to be so muted in this Real? How can you not dominate the midfield with such players?
How can a team like Real play so shitty football and play mostly with long balls and some personal actions?
Edit: this rotation strategy is fucking up all the players.

What will it take for Spurs and City to finally lose a game?

But still top of the league.. We needed to finish our chances in the first half, we didn't and paid the price for it.
Spurs were pretty lucky to not lose to Liverpool and they were at home. Other than that, they've played Everton, Palace, Stoke, Sunderland and Middlesbrough. So it's not exactly a shock that they've not lost one.
City could feasibly only lose to a Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs type team this year. We'll see when they face a proper test, I guess.
As Footy GAF's undisputed, biggest Theo Walcott fan* I really enjoyed it.

One of them to concede more goals than the other next Sunday.
Spurs got beat by Monaco the other week, and Liverpool was unlucky not to beat them, so they are at least beatable. Who knows with City though, they've still not really came up against a really good attacking team, but they've also not struggled at all with anyone so far, and look great going forward, maybe they'll get their first lost due to fixture pile up more than anything.

Well... at least I can live vicariously through my Chelsea squad on Fifa in a couple days.
This is what got me through the 2014/15 pool season.

Leganés 1-0 up against Valencia! ¡Vamos Leganés!
Thiago finally plays what you could expect of him. So Ancelotti truly placed him in the Pirlo/Modric position.

The news going around is that Bayern Munich well be after Klopp once Ancelotti contract is up.

Can't see him leaving Anfield tbh, he seems to love it there
Don't think reports from England are of much value when it comes to Bayern.
Anyone else getting it on pc?

I think Bayern should keep Ancelotti until at least 2030. Just to be sure.

Nothing against it. But then I hope Pep will return someday.
