We can play football without cr7 and bale who would thought

Bale isn't even needed for you guys anymore Aseniso is a demon

And it's been years since Real made a big singing! how Real signed most of these players for cheap relatively to their performance is a crime.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

So Barca are gonna chase Dembellers and Phil even harder to appease the fans right?

 

[whatsinaname]

Asensio goal alternate angles. Damn!

[daxter01]

Benzema did good tonight I guess playing without cr7 and bale around him eased his mind alot

 

[Syder]

Schuster first season

Ahhh, yes... Dat Villarreal team.

Been a long ass time.

 

[Tubie]

Dembele's and Cout's price just went up another 10m each.

Zidane since he became a manager lost 7 matches and got 7 titles. For every defeat he gets a trophy

Wait seriously? 7 losses? That's insane

Dermot Corrigan‏ @dermotmcorrigan

Today first time in nine years Madrid have had more possession than Barca in any Clasico - 52%-48% - says @2010MisterChip

 

[D4Danger]

Barcelona look defeated. I think Neymar took what was left of their soul with him to Paris.

 

[MrS]

What does this Madrid team have to win to be considered as good as or better than Pep's Barca team? Zidane has won virtually every trophy he's contested so far. Scenes if they 3peat the Champions League.

Treble, however I'd be more than happy with a double this year.

 

[Kurt Angle]

going by that showing by barca, the portuguese Tony pulis actually didn't do that bad against this team in the super cup

barca should bid for fellaini

 

[Sato Koiji]

7 titles is absolutely insane.

This year alone it is already 4 (CL, league, supercup, supercopa) and in december he has the chance to win a 5th trophy (insane) in one year. Maximum is 6 titles in one calender year.

 

[Kolx]

Wait seriously? 7 losses? That's insane

Yep.

Not sure why people are so baffled by the Jonny Evans bid.

I know West Brom aren't a glamorous club but he's a great player, United never should've sold him.

I wouldn't say he's great, but he's homegrown and competent enough to be a squad player.

 

[Syder]

I don't think you know what this word means.

He has 225 PL apps and has always been consistently solid.

I wouldn't say he's great, but he's homegrown and competent enough to be a squad player.

He's an upgrade on current John Stones.

 

[WAR recon zero]

What a first half

WHAT A FIRST HALF

 

[Syder]

Stokelona is alive and well, lads

Does Sigurðsson start this weekend? Do Everton play Gylfi, Klaassen and Rooney as shadow strikers? (AKA the Football Manager meta) 🤔

 

[Labadal]

So, Gabriel left for Valencia. You can have Lovren. Moreno is on the house.

 

[Syder]

Arsenal selling defenders makes little sense but Gabriel always did look like Bambi on ice.

Supposedly, the language barrier was a big issue.

 

[longdi]

Is zidane a really good coach or...? His wins are laughing at those super coaches with their tactics and formations.

I always pictured him as paulince.gif, just with better players and a better playing brain.

 

[EmiPrime]

I don't want to be mean especially as he was a decent pro who didn't moan about not being first choice but I am not unhappy to see Gabriel leave.

Late run for van Dijk maybe?

Sandro looks like he's unavailable for Hajduk Split, so it might be Gylfi, Klaassen and Rooney as you said. Would like to see Tom Davies start over Klaassen for either Hajduk Split or Man City.

Also I think a back four worked much better than a back three when he made the change at half time against Stoke, Koeman might do the same and in the midfield be a little more defensive versus Man City he might use Schneiderlin, Besic, Gana.

He's gotten the tactics spot on when it's counted.

Got a very solid squad right now. I've got your lot finishing ahead of Arsenal.

 

[FuturusX]

Every manager, Zidane included, must be judged in equal parts by the bright spots and the dark. We shall know of Zidane's worth when the inevitable crisis emerges.

Fair play to the lad, one of my favourite players of all time, and a very good manager.

 

[Labadal]

Maybe. Southampton seem to be intent on making a statement on not selling, though.

This transfer window is crazy. people are willing to splash money more than ever but clubs are less willing to sell. I guess, especially in the PL, clubs aren't as desperate to sell with the new TV deal. It's a good thing to be honest.

 

[Blablurn]

Thank you sir, cya in the CL.

as if we have a chance :S

The board surely helps, they are doing a good job by the looks of it. Barca is just a mess compared to that.

 

[Kill3r7]

To be fair, LvG gave Evans plenty of chances. He simply could not play the ball out of the back. Literally, go watch the tape from the MK Dons game. He had one of the worst defensive performances I have ever seen. Never really recovered from that. The move to City has a high chance of being an absolute disaster.

 

[A Serious Man]

Barca's decline almost makes up for United not being a laughing stock this year.

 

[tim.mbp]

Full slate of matches this weekend. Fun times.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Zizou the God already the third manager who won the most trophy with the Real Madrid.

Best player and best coach of all time coming soon.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Can't believe the greatest night of my life coincides with Liverpool winning in Europe. Disgusting.

Lol

I'm a dad lads! 8:37 last night my little girl was born!

Team is in a bad spot...they are losing the supercopa and the opponent is being a dick about it. I mean how do you want him to react ?

I don't blame him, was just making an observation.
