And vice-versa. They were deadly together. Just look at Janko, he arrives and immediately finds a ton of opportunities to score. I think when defenders start having to worry about both, Hulk will show up again. He just can't do everything by himself in the final third.
Tough game. Is it me, or was Villa Boas sitting next to PDC in the stands? I wonder if he'll return to Porto next season? He's pretty much out of Chelsea. Not sure if he wants to try his luck in another league or go back home for a season or two....
The thing is, do you want a player of his talent and scoring ability limited to crossing the ball ? I want him crossing in and taking that powerful shot he has.
I think Falcao is the better player. That is not taking anything away from Hulk. Falcao has proven that without Hulk assistance he is the 3rd leading scorer in La Liga. That of course is just my opinion and that does not take anything away from either player.
It's easier to defend when he doesn't have options. Man City kept the front/outside of the box tight. Very tight. Hulk was basically forced to try to get a cross in. Porto passed it around at a safe distance very well, but couldn't get a look in either. Credit to City's defense (and defensive midfield), they are very solid.
True but City was pretty much covering their area quite well, hard to run into the area so the next best thing to drive in low crosses and hope for a tap in.
I also saw AVB at the game sitting next to PDC. Weird for sure! Too bad Janko was cup tied. I wonder if we would have scored 1 or 2, with all the dangerous balls we put across the box.
We just needed a pylon up there. VP is such an idiot. Even Rolando would of done something as a striker.
just cause theres black people in portugal, maybe more than many other euro countries doesnt mean there arent any racists
Nah, just making sure you weren't misreading what he meant. Bit sad, though, but that's life after a bad defeat. Best of luck against Legia tonight, btw.
I did understand the context but I was just pointing out its not really relevant how many black people there are in a country to how racist the population are obviously you cant tell that yes we beat Legia, but now we get to relive the bayern fiasco from a couple years ago with man city Hope somehow we can pull through tho
