Rival Watch Thread Watch

He is never in the game, he just doesn`t fit in with the quality of players around him and the game passes him by. I think he has 2 assists and one goal yet he starts every game, the player he starts ahead of (Pedro) has much better stats from the bench.

 

Yes, you are right, Madrid tend to sell a really good player in order to make room for that seasons "big star" so the president looks good to the supporters.

 

I can't remember the last player that was wasted on the bench at Real (although there's probably an obvious one I may be missing?). Barcelona on the other hand have their regular batch. Affelay off the top of my head being one.

 

Surely someones got to be on the bench as they have about 700 world class attackers for just 4 positions

 

You won't see them buying world class talent to be bench warmers tbf. Their subs benches are often their youth players coming through as well. And those that don't make it are sold. The squad is spot on imo.

 

Wonder who is getting sold for when Sterling arrives for 6 months before being sold to Wigan.

Mate give someone the time to bite before you cast again

 

Been reading some of the comments and it's all like "Moyes has beaten Barca, maybe he's not that bad a coach etc etc".

Sociedad had 1 shot on goal all game and didn't even core from it as it was an OG

And Moyes' problem never was beating the big clubs, at Everton he regularly caused "Upsets" by being hard to beat etc, it's when he went to a team that wasn't the underdog and was expected to win the games he struggled (Like Hodgson at Liverpool).

 

Would have said Isco but he is starting to perform, maybe Illarramendi if they can get 25/30 mil for him.

 

Surely you mean Januzaj as you were all pointing out how much better he was than Sterling

 

Think most United supporters would agree Januzaj had one good half season, he has much to do before Marid come calling as has Sterling.

 

To be fair the most excited Moyes fan is your own #graphspankingmelt

 

Indeed, the ones who arent militant would agree with you, as you can see my reply was for UIR though so that speaks for itself

 

I wouldn't say Moyes isn't that bad a coach, I just said he'd done what Rodgers couldn't lol.

Come on that's not fair how many underdogs has Rodgers beaten this season

 

So Moyesy has done a Fergie and beat Barca at his club's home ground.

 

At least we kept a clean sheet, shame we missed a penalty though

 

Got and early goal and got lucky and the media are all over it

Anything bar a 5-0 drubbing was a great result of course so fairs fair he caught Barca after their winter break on the hop.. Well done moyes... The manc players did really stab you in the back after all. Surely now we should all just be waiting for them to do in van gaal with all these fake injuries

 

You've never beat them at their stadium.
