Our loss to Sunderland is the first game we've lost in the PL when both Aguero and Tevez have started. W-14 L-1.
The beginning of the end!

The Mancunian #MassiveClub™ Project of Arabian Nights is no longer appealing to them.
dead serious. he is worse than cr7 misfiring. and may i add that cr7 misfires quite alot before he finally scores. if madrid faced dortmund again the guys id be fearing wud be Reus and Großkreutz. lewandowski is that much of a non threat. i cant understand why klopp hasnt replaced him. i read manutd are after him. klopp wud be wise to get as much money and swindle manutd for as much as he can.
is ur opinion unpopular normally? not saying your wrong... or right... but alot of peeps like higuain for said trait amongst other things. i have my own opinion on higuain but id really like to hear yer opinion on him.
Huguain isn't the most clinical finisher either.
Lewa is better at holding the ball up for his teammates and Higuain is better at getting into goalscoring opportunities. Neither are brilliant finishers but both are top class forwards.

Comparatively, I'd have Mr Lewa Lewa over Higuain in a heartbeat. Higuain's not a bad finisher, but he's had a rough patch recently. I am a fan of his, though, and he'd be a classy signing for most teams. Also, I haven't seen much of him to know whether he's close to being as good as Lewa is in the air. He reminds me a little of Hernandez in his play, unlike Lewa, and that's why I don't think United would or should be in for him.

Klopp said that no one can ruin Götze. I agree, he's too damn good.
You call Lewandowski overrated, yet mention Huntelaar. Huntelaar is like the definition of overrated, he may score some over the season, but flops in big games and is lazy on the pitch.
Lewandowski is awesome, though. He's not a clinical finisher (yet) in the way that everytime he gets the ball you're scared as shit he'll score. But he works a lot for the team, can keep possession incredibly well and wins lots of aerial duels. He just works well for us and that's all I care about, I can see him flop at a new club.
I don't like those lists, they should explain what's the criteria. It took Dante a move to Bayern to get first place, he played just as good if not better for Gladbach. Subotic also played a better half than Hummels. And Höwedes in front of Subotic and Stranzl is just shit. He needed the Papadopoulos injury to become first choice CB, how is that third place deserved? It mainly comes down to the reputation the player has.
I dont like them either, but I thought they would make an interesting talking point. You are right about Dante, I'm not even sure if he was better than Boateng (if you look past the mental errors).

And while I'm at it, the names of the categories are stupid as well. "International class", well, Subotic, Höwedes, Wollscheid, Stranzl and some more did well in Europe. I know it's just Kickers' tiers but a proven CL/EL player should be in that for sure.
alright thanks for the input. ill share my thoughts on higuain. la liga top. cl flop. as weak in the air as benz. cant hold up ball as good as benz. higuain is a curious case for me. he can score class goals against small teams but come the big fish well... alot to be desired. i imagine lewandowski shud be better in the air than higgy. higgy and benz are atrocious at headers. at times higuain is selfish, at other times he tries to do what benz wud do. shines facing a loose defense. fades facing an organised defence. higuain is top shelf but at the same time he is not... curious he is.
tbf on higuain, madrids system is cr7 focused so our cfs are usually starved of service every game . usually 1-4 chances all game every game. cr7 in comparison gets 10+ chances. i'd rate higuain over dowski on finishing alone. higgy dont waste as much chances as dowski does.

I agree with you on everything but the bolded.
if he does all that you say he does then my opinion is misinformed. he shud definitely work on scoring as that is his only problem if what u say is true.
and on gotze. u havent seen what mou has done to modric, ozil, sahin have you?
Milchmonster

Well, I haven't watched much Real this season, so no idea about Modric. But Özil has always tended to be lazy and not do shit at all, I wouldn't blame Mourinho. And Sahin has only his agent (and himself) to blame, the Real move was just a bad idea.

Ozil's amazing, what are you two on about?

He's been non-existent this season for the most part.
tbh im not a fan higuain and as much as i dont like him, he is a good finisher of the ball... oh wow lewandowski actually broke 30 goals in a season. something higuain hasnt done ever. looks like im herpin derpin then.
still needs to be clinical though.

Kindle PaperWhite does look absolutely amazing though.

Bought last years European shirt for £5 off our official site. By contrast, this years is £57! They still have M and XL so I'm considering buying a bunch and using them for our 6-a-side team.

Pepe won "Portugal's Person of the Year" award from some paper named Record.
:lol surely, surely there are better people out there in Portugal.

Wilbury, how did you get on with Demon's Souls?
Not when Arsenal fail to qualify for Europe.
Yeah she did dude! But 0.20p is a steal! I can read it anytime, anywhere though. I will actually read the paperback, but I'm crazy!

I got the I, Partridge paperback for Christmas. Is it worth buying the audiobook on top of it, to listen to at work? Seems pretty expensive

It's fantastic; I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Don't watch the film till you're done!
On a side note, I'd be interested to know what your views on Scott Sinclair are. My City-supporting mate thinks he's the best English winger around.
What I'd give to hook him in the gabber.

#BasedSinclair will not get a run in this City side. I say why not start him, we were utterly toothless against Sunderland and who is to say he wasn't the burst of pace, or the bit of creativity we needed. We huffed and puffed for 90 minutes and hit a brick wall.
I'd honestly start him at the weekend.
Dear god.
The trouble with that is he's hardly played all season. He'll be rusty as hell.

I thought they said Premier League boss? Getting Birmingham relegated and destroying Villa hardly qualifies.
