Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I read back after I saw your last post...had only read Mitos city one lol...

 

just did the same with yours.

@saintKlopp ignore my jimmy point

 

The figures I showed when we had this argument before proved the point I was making. It's just that you and some others are so wedded to your own theory that no amount of evidence will persuade you, so you just try to put a spin on it.
A bit like people who still believe the Earth is flat (and there are quite a few, apparently).

 

Too late.

 

you said they have the best defense in reply to my point that all the teams are comparible. im just pointing you you've no blooming pride in your own team so.

 

yes. yes you are. im trying to get a wind.

 

one thing i would say Pep does though, he gets his personnel to get really tight on the opposition and to give away niggly fouls at worse/win the ball at best and the way he gets the whole team to press as well as their overall high work rate really does mean they hog the ball (not just because of their brilliant passing).

 

haha deffo not. Everyone know your team has the worse defence . Not comparible.

 

I do think he has improved some of their defenders - Otamendi is only a bit **** now as opposed to totally - but I wouldn't like that to be my defence without the attack to take the heat off them.
Bit like us.

 

Biggest difference between our defence and City's is decision making by #bentasfuck officials

 

Our defense is excellent.

Once you ignore lovren v spurs or mane red card v city..... or mingolet v arsenal.

Given those have all been resolved (vvd buy, mingolet dropped, mane keeping his feet down) thats 5+4+3 goals = 12 goals off our total of 32

which means we are every bit as good as city



you have bascially missed my point that a decent side can get at city as we proved. Delph is no defender and otamendi and stones can be got at too.

nobody goes into a ctiy game quaking in their boots at how tough their defense is. Its the midfield and forwards people are feared of.

 

He's improved a lot of their players if i am to be serious. He has taken out the "stars" like yaya and focused on team ethic and made sterling look a player, but as you said theres 4 or 5 others round the park like otamendi who have looked awful that he's improved.

I believe its unity and team work that makes it so.

Hence my comments about arsenal players would look and awful lot better under a new manager. Bellarin, mustafi, kosceilney, monreal. all good individual talents. Desperate stuff served up as no unity or team work.

 

I fully agree about Arsenal. There are some good players in that team, and they just need bringing together.
At the top level it's a fine line between success and (relative) failure and if the attitude isn't quite right you're screwed.

 

I think Wenger have overstayed his welcome, he failed to realised it last summer.

 

better to ride out on an FA cup win and all the begrudging ungrateful fans could just pretend they never wanted him to go and he's a legend.

At this point unless he wins europa its going to be a very sour parting.

 

Oh please let it be Rodgers that replaces Wenger... it's all I want for Christmas

 

that's a bit mean now isn't it?

i mean ok the implosion of arsneal tv might be fun but jesus..

 

I think that applies to all teams who are offensive. You could spin that at Real, Barca, PSG as well as yourselves.

 

dunno... I'm talking about very specific weaknesses.

Mind you barca have weaknesses you lot showed them up big time.
