Grininho - that was a positive match from Lucas yesterday, his best in a Liverpool shirt. It's the first time he's stepped up and made a real impact against a quality opponent. For one match your opinion of him is validated. ;)
It will be interesting to see how much Ibra is an improvement on Borriello. It should help to bring Dinho and Pato into the game more. Borriello wasn't really adept at at holding it up for the other two. Milan is one team that does things a bit different than others right now, so I enjoy watching them. It's just not another 4-2-3-1 to look at.
---------- Did you see the crappy 4-2-2-2 system that we employed with neither full-back allowed to go over half way more than three times per half? ---------- Yea. Even the zonal shifts in defense - with Agger running in front of the LCB to protect him, are very amateurish. I don't get what we are doing right now. Gerrard is clueless in the middle. Torres is completely out of the danger zone. He's taken a team of very good players and made them looks like scrappy/plucky relegation battlers. It's like he _doesn't even know_ how to coach good players - only average ones. I was sick to my stomach watching that last match. Ridiculous.
I can't stand it anymore. I'm way past the point of wanting to debate with "fans" who thought Alonso should have been a RM in a 4-4-2.
Meh, it's not video games. It's just an inability to observe what really happens during a game. What bugs me is why people insist on thinking that Rafa doesn't have any reason for not playing Gerrard in midfield. Rafa's done everything possible to keep Gerrard out of the CM spot. Hmmm, I wonder why? ;)
LOL- its all talk- I choose a team at the start of the year and that's it- I think i've been mid table every year we've done it :D
fair enough: I do have uni, 2 jobs and other stuff to contend with. For the next time, you decide to question me (or anyone, for that matter), make sure that you know what that person is all about. cheers!
you're the same lad that questioned my allegiance/affiliations to Inter and Villarreal. Yet, when I took the time to thoroughly explain them you were nowhere in sight. :) ;)
BTW- we can win copies of FIFA 09 for the best Team page- ie the official supporters group one. Can you respond to my discussion thread- maybe even start up your own one as well, and put on some more pics. Danke ;)
Footballing wise- no idea. Lifestyle wise- Gold Coast or the Netherlands in winter- no competition! ;)
