champions league final

Yeah not really seen anything of note from Pogba yet. Gotta agree with a few in here.

[Ted Hughes]

Three up front vs the likes of Pogba & Vidal in midfield & totally dominating possession.

And the Count is an idiot for playing 2 up v Burnley.

We took one point against Burnley.

Point well & truly missed.

It doesn't matter how many bodies you have in midfield vs Barca if you can't pass the football to each other. You can't get it off them, or stop them. When they get it, they can have 6 up front, because they aren't going to lose it. When they do lose it, they force you to give it them back. They work like fuck for the few seconds it takes & they run off the ball when they have it.

Pellegrini is trying to get City to play like that. If he succeeds and gets the right players in, it won't matter if we have 1,2,3 up front, people will struggle against City.

This 5 in midfield shite is papering over cracks not building a team.

Messi and Neymar are not exactly upfront Ted. One on the wing as an out ball and the best player on the planet floating in behind the striker

Practically the whole of Barca's frontline is sat in midfield - they break when they get the chance but most of the time they're neutralising Juve's midfield threat.

I agree with that Ted. The current players we have e.g. Milner, Fern 2 etc are not technically good enough to retain the ball. If we get players that can retain possession better then we won't need 5 in midfield. The current personnel mean that 5 in the middle is better for us as results have shown.

Everyone raving about pogba. Yaya is on a different planet. He's our pirlo, and we need to recognise that and get the most out of it. Pogba and Vidal are workers but as far as playmaking goes Yaya is a level or three above both.

I'm not disagreeing with that but, nevertheless, I think Pogba could add a little something extra to our game and he would be good for us.

[Dameerto]

BOOM game on.

[Beefymcfc]

Come On!!!!

Pogba is going to Spain.

[iwasthere2012]

Oooooh yeees.

[Saul Goodman]

There we go

[nottsblue]

Nice one. Looks a tasty player Moratta. Swap for Dzeko?

[Ted Hughes]

Come On!!!!

If Pirlo stops taking corners like Joey Barton they could win this because Barca keep fucking up chances. Get the fucking ball away from Piquet on set pieces.

[london blue 2]

Rattled

We sometimes see Barca playing too forward and not so confident in their abilities; we're seeing that tonight, so far.

Pirlo looks like he's playing his own game, as a farewell tour, but ending up looking like Gerard with his slip and 6-1 send off.

[Ted Hughes]

Fucking hell that's a real Tevez scoring position.

[Beefymcfc]

Note that this is a better game now Juve are staying a foot away from the challenge.

[Saul Goodman]

Vidal is starting to control that midfield

[nottsblue]

That's a penalty kick all night long for me. Then it literally bites them

[carl_feedthegoat]

There was a foul leading up to that goal and the bos eyed cunt of a ref was looking at Mars.

[Beefymcfc]

But nobody cares about the Pogba challenges, or anything else, 'cos Barca score.
