The BIG Football Thread

There are people out there who like Carlos Tevez?

Yeah great player, better than Dzeko and Balotelli when he gets a start.Links up well and always give 100% on the pitch

Carlos Tevez isn't better than Balotelli

He is at the moment but Balo will become MUCH MUCH Better

I completely disagree, if you go past the idiot that Balotelli is he is a better player. I reckon he'll get the golden boot this year

Balo or Dzeko will get the golden boot

But have you not seen Tevez for the last 2 years? City's best player.. he is on the bench.. obviously he was the top scorer and their best player for 2 years if you put him on the bench he will lack any motivation to play

 

[BlueStar]

Motivation!? He's being paid millions of pounds to play football and he's just been told to go onto the pitch and play champions league football. And he's not motivated? Put the ungrateful runt in the reserves and make him see out his contract there, everytime he refuses to play fine him and give the money to charity.

And no, you can't go to Corinthians because they can't afford you. Football doesn't work like that. If you miss your family then fly them over with the obscene amount of money you get paid. Does anyone else get to say "oh, no, sorry, I'm not going to do my job today. I don't feel like it, I'm not motivated."?

Sir Alex Ferguson has accepted full responsibility for Manchester Uniteds humiliating 6-1 defeat by City. He said that he should never have rested Howard Web for such an important game.

Tevez refused to get on the pitch and thats a shame.Regardless I still believe Balo is better currently.

I agree with this completely.

Just a matter of time till he fucks up again, some way or another. I'm hoping AC Milan buys him, good chance and I have a liking for AC Milan. More than City at least.

I think he's doing well at city right now

 

[emigre]

I think Balotelli is fantastic. He's slightly unhinged and this results in numerous hilarious antics. Also he's a pretty good player, personally I'm so so glad he came ot he Premiership.

 

[alidsl]

It's funny because no-one is agreeing with Rockstar

3-0 Real Madrid-Villareal

Benzema is a great finisher.
Kaka is a better finisher.
Di Maria rewarded for his 2 assists with a goal of his own.

Bad luck for Villareal continues.

Manchester City: Becoming everything they ever hated since 2009...

Exactly, but remember most of this is just from beating Man United. They suddenly think they are awesome just because of that fact

 

[rockstar99]

Man City have the better team than United.MUCH Better and this year it looks like they have great link up play too not just 11 random expensive players doing whatever they want.People overrate UNited... they have got lucky against Norwich, Liverpool, West Brom and Chelsea.I predict they will finish 3rd.. dont flame me on this now.... flame me when you see it does not happen in May

How is Man Utd overrated, they've won the prem 12 times

 

[rockstar99]

This year they are... their 2 midfielders are crap

Scholes was not replaced.
If they get somebody like Modric or Sneijder they could win the league.
Fergie also needs to stop making unneeded changes for big games, just use your strongest XI... no Evans... no Welbeck just keep it normal.
Tom Zidane is not good enough yet

Hernandez​

Rooney​

Young-Sneijder-Fletcher-Nani​

Evra-Vidic-Ferdinad-Jones​

De Gea​

With the defence, the wingers and the strikes they have they should be alright, yes they are worse than they have been previously but I don't think that they are overrated, they are still one of the best teams in the world

 

[Lubbo]

well, im a Man United supporter and personally i think ferguson is putting to much commitment and trust into his younger players, welbeck, jones, evans, anderson, personally those four shouldnt be always starting, anderson i dont believe is very good, welbeck jones and evans are getting better but i think hernandez should be starting instead of welbeck.

e.g. in the Manchester derby fergie started welbeck against man city instead of hernandez and against liverpool rooney, hernandez and nani all started on the bench, the only reason in my eyes was fergie was trying to make a point, which failed

He had to use Evans because Vidic wasn't 100% fit yet and we don't want to take any chances with him.
Welbeck hasn't dissappointed me so far, sure it's not world-class, but United actually making an effort to lower their debts (or at least stabilize them) can be blamed for that. They rather have a very good striker very cheap, than blowing 40 million+ on a world-class striker. It's a real feat to, even without those major investments, still be able to reach the CL final and compete top 2 in every PL season. I can't disagree with the fact that Hernandez is proving better sometimes, but that's Fergie's call and whatever he does, I'll blindly follow.
And who the fuck is Tom Zidane?

And Lubbo if you don't think Jones and Anderson are good enough for United this season, you haven't seen enough matches.
