polishgenius Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm just waiting for them to play Arsenal later in the competition and get ruined by the rejuvenated Wengerball tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I would like to see that game.It was the ruthlessness. They made no mistakes. Beautiful AI robot football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well tbf that's exactly what they did to Barca, Juve and Dortmund last year.I'll have to watch them again soon. But it won't be in the CL till at least the knockouts, coz some eejit put them on the same matchday as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 They did have a guy sent off. That seems like an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Not really encouraged by the United game. Sure it could have gone worse. But they didn't outplay Shaktar by any means. We'll see if they can recoup and actually get better from here. City were squashed, but everyone sees that Bayern is just the biggest bear in the forest right now. Interesting to see the PSG train rolling along, they are still a strong dark horse this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faraday Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Interesting to see the PSG train rolling along, they are still a strong dark horse this year. I think Atheltico are my "dark horse" to do well if they can avoid the other Spanish teams, in particular. Not sure who can beat Bayern, I fancy Dortmund against them in general -- they match up well, but Dortmund may not get out of the group. Chelsea could park the bus and maybe get lucky but I think they're a very strong team and looked phwoar tonight. I think they'll beat Barca or Madrid, they're better all over than either of them. So yeah, they'll be very difficult to beat and I imagine they'll only improve. United getting a draw in Shakhtar is fine, not an easy place to go although I think they probably should have held on. Juve could be in trouble if they get nothing against madrid in both their games. Nice to see DROGBA score tonight, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Wigan of America! I love the part when they cheer to the supporters who travelled to Salt Lake City the way the supporters cheered to them all season. And will again Friday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsDREQgF8mE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 that negredo's goal was a stunner!the best goal i've seen in a while. someone said that the mark of the goat is how well he performs in a great team.i'd disagree and say that the better mark of the goat is how much he improves the players on his team.messi doesn't much, as is evident from very little impact he makes on argentina team.

mormont Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 baxus, you can only bang that same drum for so long. Messi unquestionably improves the best club side in the world, and yes, he also improves the Argentina team - more and more each game, as has been pointed out. In his last 20 games for Argentina, he has 13 goals and 4 assists. Your one argument against Messi as GOAT is thin, and gets thinner every time Argentina play. Best not to keep repeating it as if it was unassailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 @mormont:we'll see next summer how much he improves argentina ;)also, barcelona is among top sides, but is definitely NOT the best club side in the world this year, as last seasons champions' league results clearly prove.

Best not to keep repeating it as if it was unassailable. There are many arguments against Messi as GOAT. Like 'Cruyff', and 'Maradona', and 'Messi is a selfish twat'.

Antonius Pius Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They were better than last year. I can't see a weakness. They chucked goetze on as an impact subBayern was excellent, decidedly better than last year, but towards the end they let go a bit. They let City come back into it, making the last 15 minutes needlessly exciting. For a perfect game, they should have created more chances, especially in the first half, when they had lots of possession, but didn't do a whole lot more than lead City around by the nose.Having said that, they really made City look like amateurs. When early on Richards bulldozered Reus (?) I wondered if Bayern could compete physically, but they just kept on running circles around City.I wonder why Pellegrino didn't do anything. He was late with his subs, and he did nothing about the imbalance on the pitch. City had 6-8 guys behind the ball almost all the time, facing only 3 offensive players. That gifted Bayern the midfid, and control of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 There are many arguments against Messi as GOAT. Like 'Cruyff', and 'Maradona', and 'Messi is a selfish twat'. There are arguments against anything. Whether they stand up to any scrutiny is the test. The last, for example, wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 When early on Richards bulldozered Reus (?) I'm gonna take a wild guess that it was Kroos coz Reus plays for Dortmund. Germany have so many good creative/attacking mids... There are arguments against anything. Whether they stand up to any scrutiny is the test. The last, for example, wouldn't. It's exaggeration obviously but Messi's need to be directly involed in every move unquestionably holds him back as a 'goat' candidate, no matter how people want to pretend otherwise.

The incident took place early in the game, 15 or so minutes in by my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Ex Machina Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I just gained alot more respect for Cristiano Ronaldo for stepping up for this Gjoka kid. Shouldn't have tried to trump up the charges on him, and definitely shouldn't be deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Notch Balanter Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Jack Wilshire caught smoking while personally i couldn't really care and it appears neither does Wenger, professionally it's a bit of a f**k up by Wilshire and i can see him getting a bit of grief from the press over it.
