It's a real account no doubt, but it isn't Eboues account.
Worth asking: do you have the link to the animu/yaoi pic of Schmelzer ?

Pretty much
Welbeck was so great in both games it's just such a shame he doesn't quite have the edge when he gets into the box. Really needs to work on that.
I don't think anyone ever thought otherwise.

Did you see the interview with Klopp that was posted here in which he says he doesn't know why Liverpool used Sahin the way they did? Thoughts?Popped up on my Facebook. Really want Dortmund to win it, Juve runners up. Sorry Yurt.
Need to catch the Dortmund highlights, what a result.
I did.
I honestly can't remember a time when we did play in the number 10 position, to be honest. Whenever he played alongside Gerrard or Allen he was just floating around the midfield, not sat behind Suarez. Perhaps it was something Rodgers was trying to adapt him to in training, I'm not sure. Either way he just wasn't good enough to play in his preferred position, that's the unfortunate truth, and I don't blame Rodgers for trying to get the best out of his talents (shoot from distance, killer through balls) in a position that we were weak in.
The biggest mistake was loaning him in the first place. Sahin isn't defensively sound enough to play for us, and isn't close to being as good as Gerrard, despite wanting to play in the same position.
Yes I don't know what Klopp is talking about there. I think he's just being encouraging aand not discouraging about his player.
Maybe it's just word of mouth from Sahin complaining about not being played in his preferred position, but as a deep lying CM he was a liability. Like a Christian Poulsen with a better first touch and an attacking impetus. Definitely not good enough to be the midfield anchor in a PL midfield.

Interesting. Doesn't seem like he's back in the Dortmund team either, yet. Moving to RM really stunted him.
Bound to be, we're still knocked out and it feels harsh, very gutting. Still alot to take from it though.
It's a shame that RVP has been so good all season but really had two of his poorest games in both ties. Not going to say he cost us or anything...but he definitely could have been the man to put us through, that's how we set up anyway.
Pssh, Adebayor is offside 110 times every game.
:lol :lol
Felt great, didn't it?
Sahin's decline is depressing. He was at the forefront of upcoming talents not 3 years ago
Don't judge him by his performances at Real and Liverpool. Both of those have had their fair share of flops.

So, because I'm kinda bored of the Bundesliga and it's a long time until the next BVB CL matches, how I hope our squad will look like next season:
Transfers:
In:
- Ginczek (back from loan)
- Sobiech (back from loan)
- Koch (back from loan)
- Bonmann (already done)
- Dzeko
- Jung or Jantschke
- Goretzka (but instantly loan him out back to Bochum or to some Bundesliga side)
Out:
- Owomoyela
- Lewandowski (to England please)
- Bittencourt (loaned out to a club like Mainz or Freiburg)
- Koch (loaned out to some Bundesliga side)
- Kirch (decent player but doesn't make sense for us)
GK: Weidenfeller, Langerak, Bonmann
FB: Piszczek, Jung/Jantschke, Schmelzer
CB: Hummels, Subotic, Santana, Sobiech
CM/DM: Gündogan, Bender, Kehl, Sahin
AM: Götze, Leitner, Reus, Großkreutz, Kuba
FW: Dzeko, Schieber, Ginzcek
Leitner is kind of the hardest decision. A loan would do him very good but we'd need another AM then who might make Leitner surplus when he returns. So I guess he'll stay.
A new LB is another point but I can't think of any decent one and I guess Großkreutz or Jantschke/Jung would do for cover.

Fuck you morsel
You were one of the good ones
Lol I'm kidding man. I was actually neutral watching the match. I wouldn't have been upset to see Utd knock out Real, it'd have been great just to put up a good counter argument to the "PL sucks man look how bad City is lol."
I think Utd played well enough to win you just didnt because of various circumstances, RvP not showing up for one reason of another, poor finishing by Welbeck, and obviously a lapse of judgment from Nani which had him sent off.
Is consensus here that the ref made the wrong call on Nani? Watching the game I thought (as I often do), that it certainly may not have been intentional, but could be called either way (yellow or red) depending on the referee. A red, while unfortunate for United, looked completely fair to me.
That was worse than the red Tiote got at Stadium of Light.

Another thing which comes to mind, Hernandez didn't play a single minute in either tie. Apparently he threw his bib when he realised he wasn't getting on yesterday.
Been stories about him getting itchy feet lately too.

Why wouldn't he be getting irritated? When you see RVP and Welbeck pissing chances away and Ashley Young gets on instead of you, it's hard not to sympathise.
I'd have probably taken RVP off for him in the last 10 mins. The former is looking quite sluggish at the moment and Hernandez might have been able to put away one of the fuckton of chances we seemed to have in that period.
I can understand though:
Can't take RVP off for anyone in a big game
Welbeck is on for a specific job Hernandez isn't built for
If a striker were to come on, you'd want Rooney, who does more work defensively and has the technique to score from anywhere in and around the box
Young is a wide player and could never be seen as a position Hernandez is fighting for
It's inevitable that this would become a problem as Hernandez could be the leading striker at other CL teams with his form this season so of course he would be hoping to play every game. Whilst 4 strikers seems to be the ideal number, teams just can't maintain 4 regular, top players without one of them becoming unhappy. Man City had the same problem last season with Dzeko's rumoured unhappiness.
no it wwasn't tiote tried to break a leg after the whistle had gone

Even if Hernandez had got on for the last 10 minutes - I'm not sure it would appease him that much. He's a quality player who scores almost anytime he plays.
He's the clear 4th choice, that can't be something he's happy about.

I think Hernandez would work well with Kagawa slotting him through but time and time again he can't hold his run and is always offside. You can't expect Fergie to drop Rooney or RVP for Hernandez, can't see him getting many chances in the run in. Too risky.

Wait til E3 at the very least unless you're a Monster Hunter fan.
I know (and despise) that feeling.
Sahin's decline is depressing. He was at the forefront of upcoming talents not 3 years ago
As Klopp said, 'football's like a train', if you step off you can't expect it to wait for you. By all accounts Sahin was a limited player even when he was a regular for Dortmund, moving away from that system and protection offered by Bender saw his star fall, and other teams couldn't afford him such luxuries.
Sahin's a great example of players not knowing their team's worth to them, rather than simply the other way around.
Is Suarez doing so well this season because of his own personal growth, or changes within the team? I personally believe it's a bit of the former, but mostly the latter.
Chicharito is a lucky cunt. ManUre were unlucky yesterday, I'm sure Chicharito would have scored.
Bist du wütend, baby?
agreed
Yurt you cunt.
One more trophy left to Platinum Rising - S rank Revengeance mode. I'M GOING FOR IT BUD.
