When I say he didn't suit their style of play, I meant he wasn't a part of the direction Guardiola wanted to take the team. A major trait of the Barca team under pep was their closing down and winning the ball back. Could you see Ibra doing that? No. That's not what he's about. See Hafs response for the whole "messi is a child" comment. And I have seen a few posts from you lately in various threads that have mentioned Ibra. Just saying.

Get out his arse pete! Your sounding like Mirallas and Belgian players, its a little embarrasing. We get it he is a good player, a very good player at times and hes swedish. But he didnt suit the way Guardiola wanted to play with Barca. Simple. He is not as good as messi by some way, that is why he didnt play.

Sounds familiar.

Does anyone know if the Fernando playing for shaktar is the guy we were linked with from Porto? Nvm quick google says he isnt

The Irony... Dont know what to think of this tbh. Part of me says that we could shock a lot of people with the quality we showed against Newcastle but another part of me says they will probably have a little too much for us to handle. Be interesting to see how Lukaku does against a WC CB like Kompany though. Looking forward to it.

"Being 3rd choice for United is better than being 1st choice for Everton" Arrogant fucking pricks. Their midfield is barely top 6 material never mind league contention! Our midfield is twice what there's is. There isn't a single player from Uniteds midfield I'd have in our team. Bellends.

I agree. maybe im being harsh but i thought he should have left the winger to coleman instead of doubling up and possibly should have been a bit quicker out to Cabaye. Great shot i agree but i think it could have been avoided. Apart from that i dont think he did much else if anything wrong.

I thought he should have closed Cabaye down quicker for his goal personally but he had a solid game apart from that.

usually me

Bet you loved it

What is your opinion on Praet and Meunier (think that's how you spell it) at Brugge?

Coleman for me. Would have been Lukaku if it wasn't for his big drop in performance second half.

Never make it easy for ourselves. Lukaku was very poor second half. Should have been 4/5-0 that. Nevertheless a good win and into fourth.

I can see why Osman got the go ahead of Deulofeo because Osman will do the grafting working back that Deulofeo wouldn't but this is a game i would actually play Naismith in because at least he could keep up with their wingers and will get back. Worried about this now.

Osman on the wing....smh. Debuchy and Ben arfa/gouffran are going to have a field day if we're not carefull

Just saw in the Daily Mail (would post link but cant in work) that De Bruyne isnt in the chelsea squad for the champions league and has been asked to train with the U21's. What a signing this guy would be for us! Not sure how much he would cost but get after him roberto!

I was impressed with the game at first. The new touch system and the shooting is a lot more realistic. Unfortunately the more I'm playing I'm realising the AI in the game is just horrible and ruins it a lot, like literally feels like it's been programmed by someone who had never watched a football game in their life (wouldn't surprise me)

Is this guy the new Haf?

Nani is fucking awful.

Oh i agree with you, but i dont think its because of the midfielders we have, i see it as more of a tactic than a characteristic if that makes sense? I think its something Martinez/the coaching staff needs to work on with them and quick because like i say, in this league you will get punished.

You wouldnt really associate anyone at Swansea who likes to get "stuck in though" or Barcelona or many spanish teams come to think of it. I dont think you need a tough tackler in your midfield in order not to allow the opposition time and space.

I've noticed this under Martinez and i hated it under Moyes but under Martinez it seems to be 10x worse! If you give people time and space in this leauge they will punish you. Fact. I dont know why, but i think its a part of Martinez's "style". A big part of Barca's possesion game is that when they loose it they hunt the ball down in packs, Bayern did a similar thing. So i dont understand the "stand off" policy we seem to have taken up.

Best i've seen.

Disappointing as they're all shit. 1st one is probably the best out of those 3.
