    Technology And Refereeing

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    I think his stats for the CL this season are in the region of: 7 games, 5 assists, 2.3 key passes per match, 63 average passes per match, 90% pass accuracy. (Heads up, I may be off on those.) I have a soft spot for full back playmakers as it is, but it was beautiful when I saw the team sheets...

    what has happened to the transfer section?

    Falcao is more than a poacher... I think Gomez is a waste of space even with his goals, he seemed to miss more sitters than he had shots on target whenever I watched him last season. (Even the goals he did score, his goal against Real Madrid in Germany was not due to technical ability, he seemed...

    Technology And Refereeing

    Re: O/T - Goal-Line Technology Approved For WC 2014 By contrast, seeing I think Argentina score against Mexico and the officials having to ignore the big screen telling them they got it wrong was fudging insane. (Tevez's offside goal in the world cup.)

    Technology And Refereeing

    Re: O/T - Goal-Line Technology Approved For WC 2014 That is the part that's difficult. The offside itself is clear cut, black and white, no need to wonder how much contact there was and if a player tried to get contact as there might be for a penalty... However, it's the confirmation you...

    He has always said that. Don't worry, if he considers Ramsey, Gervinho and co to be doing well, I'm sure he'll consider himself to be doing a fine job.

    O/T Mancini "I am the best manager in England"

    I was going to say that. But even that's debatable. Di Matteo won CL and FA cup in a couple of months. About 3 months vs 15 months... Di Matteo won more per month. If City win nothing this season and United take the league, Mancini is going to have to admit Fergie has done better than...

    Technology And Refereeing

    Re: O/T - Goal-Line Technology Approved For WC 2014 Worth it. I would quite happily take a 30 second wait if you could challenge a penalty/dive. It's hard to enforce in the case of offsides, but we get so many goals disallowed due to that to make me wish we could have appealed those last...

    Carrick - Would he get in ahead of Dembele, Sandro?

    18.6m back then. A midfield with Carrick, Modric and Sandro doesn't work. Lacks goals... Bale would make up for some lost goals, but you're wasting the number 10 position if you play Modric there. You'll have 3 holding midfielders, so you'll have to play a 4-3-3 and that doesn't work for...

    what has happened to the transfer section?

    Bent is just a finisher, he can't pass, he can't hold the ball up, he's not great at winning the ball in the air and keeping it, he usually has the lowest touches of any player per match than anyone other player in the league. No, his strike rate is good enough but the rest of him is not...

    The Goon Thread

    If they got rid of Wenger it would mean they missed out on CL football... If they miss out on CL football, they will struggle to get big name managers. I would hate Moyes to get that job, but I think if they get rid of Wenger, Moyes is the type of name that'll consider going to Arsenal...

    Sure. In response to your point: I said "Arsenal cannot defend. Counter attacking via Walcott is their only option to fudge us." I then said "you can't be 100% confident predicting a winner of a match due to the nature of football". Bayern have 2 legs. The competition only just went to the...

    Hard work

    Oh fudge me. I just remembered "if in doubt, put it out"... My under 11 or under 12 team being coached to hoof the ball "clear" in our own half... Defenders that'd hit balls out for throw ins when there was not an opposition player anywhere near them. We must have averaged about 20% possession in...

    This would be the Galatasary with Drogba, the guy that always scores against them. (And other half decent players too.) This team can play Chelsea CL style. The Schalke that beat them 2-0 and drew 2-2 with them in the group stages. The Malaga that did amazingly well in the group stages...

    The only difference is that Chelsea's revolutionary 9-0-1/10-0-0 formation is one they are capable of playing. Arsenal cannot do that. Bayern are still capable of fudging up if Arsenal pull off what they pulled off against Barca, getting outplayed to hell but Walcott counter attacking after...

    False 9s have been in operation since the 1920s. The original false 9 was Nándor Hidegkuti. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A1ndor_Hidegkuti ) Not in the sense that he was the first, but he was the most famous because the Hungary golden team ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Magyars...

    If I heard an Arsenal fan say that, I'd consider him optimistic. Bayern are 2nd in the the major European leagues when it comes to possession. (Barca are 1st, obviously.) Schalke are 22nd in the major european leagues when it comes to possession. When Schalke met Arsenal they had about 60%...

    Hard work

    It's more British than universal. It's not exclusively British and there are tons of different ways of looking at it. I love pressing, so if a player presses but when we have the ball doesn't even move half of the time, walks around and comes alive with the ball at his feet, that's more...

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    I doubt we could get him, even if we could, I think the price might be a bit strange. I have no clue how good he is, he came on and scored with his first touch when I last saw him and he scored with his first touch today. I've no clue how well he can hold the ball up or how good he is at a...

    Gareth Bale

    Re: Gareth Bale Guardiola is a "it's my way or the highway" type guy. At the moment they have Robben and Ribery. The wing would be a strange place to strengthen. But if one of them tinkles Guardiola off and he sells one, he can use that money and some extra to buy Bale, perhaps. But I'm not...
