ca_gere Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 it's been a pretty incredible showing from real so far. Maybe i'm still giddy with early season excitement but I don't think i've ever seen this Barca team outplayed like this. La Liga could be very interesting.

ca_gere Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I didn't even notice he was playing then he pops up and does that. David Villa. Sign of pure quality to make a goal from nowhere when your team is so under the cosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke1976 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Watching Real rip Barca a new arsehole at the moment. Barca have touched the ball once in the first ten mins. No exaggeration. What with Coentrao coming in and Benzema finally looking like the player he was in France, I think Real could be in with a shot of winning everything this season. They scored something ridiculous like 27 goals in pre-season. Mourinho's had time with the squad and it shows. No more naive defending followed by balls out attack, everything is more calculated now.1-0 real. Ozil from Benzema. Deserved.Am also enjoying the last of three games today. 20 a month for sky sports is so worth it. It ll probably end up costing me a pound a game at this rate. Sergio Ramos looks the spit of a young Val Kilmer.Class goal from D Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Aberdeen manager Craig Brown felt his side deserved more from their 3-0 away defeat by Hearts, but conceded that the Edinburgh club were the better side."In spite of the scoreline, I think it's a distortion," said Brown. "Because I don't think Hearts missed a chance and we must have missed five.I wasn't at the game but this does not correspond to the reports I've heard from people who were, I heard we were absolutely useless going forward and barely had a shot on target the whole game. Can anyone who was at the game clear this up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I saw it on Alba. We were poop, but had several chances and hit the woodwork yet again. McArdle simply is not a right back. Woeful player. And Foster still can't pass for shit.Same problems as last season, no full backs or width in the team. You would think these problems would have been addressed in the close season instead of signing heaps of central midfielders.Dons = fun.

framheim Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 he's not likely to go into interviews saying "the boys are shocking, that guy mackie can't finish worth a fuck and vernon's got the touch and pace of a sloth. frankly i'd be amazed if either of them could score in a brothel."they know we need a striker, hence why they keep getting them in on loan. slagging our existing strikers in the press isn't going to help them score though.

Captain America Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 4-5-1 against Swansea at home? With a set of strikers including Dzeko, Balloteli and Aguero. With Bellamy, Tevez, Santa Cruz and Adebayor all in limbo as well. Oh and Jo out on loan as well. Nice one Mancini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Especially considering how guff Swansea look. They should go all Chile on them, and everyone attack. Gung-ho!Swansea can barely string 3 passes together, and hardly any of them are forward passes. This should be a rout, but probably won't be, because Mancini's tactics are dull.

RossP Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Has ultra-slow Gareth Barry even touched the ball yet*?? Get him off and put on Kun.*EDIT: he just had a shot deflected behind.****...and just hit the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 They're going a bit gung-ho now. They could just do with having some more strikers on the pitch, who can actually finish. Yaya is great on the ball, but then he gets his shot away and it makes Darron Gibson look like Stankovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
