Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

still can't wrap my head around how a messi lead argentina team with aguero and others can't play for shyt (i know they reached the wc final in '14 but their performance was far from great even then)

best ever anyway (unless cris scores 4 against simeone)

They didn't have Xavi or Iniesta type of player to give Messi the ball high up the pitch. With the NT he plays deeper.

If they had Redondo and Veron instead of Gago, Perez, Bigila, Meza, Banega and Ricky Alvarez, they would of looked better. What they really really needed was a b2b goal scoring midfielder, but Argentina don't produce those type of midfielders, only the defensive destroyer types.

Dude who runs Man City's number 1 blog is a convicted pedo.

Adam Johnson also used to play for Man City, if you know who that is or what he did.

Just giving you more ammo for when you need to deflect from what happens on the pitch, since you are so concerned about what a person not even affiliated with the club does.

there's a reason why im bringing this up right now... he just scored three to bring back a weak barca NO XAVI NO ANDRES NO NADA, fully aware of how strong this team used to be... but now look at him !!! all by himself

It's not as simple as you're making it out to be.

Also the fact that the attacking Fullback seems to be a foreign concept to them(minus Zabaleta & Zanetti) has hurt them too.

The best Left FB I can think of they've had was Sorin

gotta say im impressed with hodgson, when he took over i thought he was gonna bury them and after 7 losses in a row worst in PL history look at him now leading them to safety for a second season, thought he was worse than a fraud, an old fraud

proven wrong so hat's off to him

Once he got his system in place he created a side that can give any team problems. He's doing his thing.

Paqueta is getting called up for the friendlies in March according to Tite’s top assistant. He deserves it, Paqueta has been balling.

How good was Paul Ince back in the day Brehs?

How good was Paul Ince back in the day Brehs?

He was good b2b destroyer. Was rated in Serie A, after a rough start to his career over there. But I think having Hodgson taking over at Inter halfway thru his first season, helped him to adapt and adjust to playing in Italy.

How good was Paul Ince back in the day Brehs?

Very.

A right pillock, but you'd want him on your team, for sure.

Gustavo Henrique with some clutch defending to save that goal.

This first half has been exactly what I expect from a Clássico
