Champions League Final

Quoted from RonMariner

It was amazing to see. So disciplined.

James and Chllwell just snuffed Sterling and Mahrez out completely. And Kante was simply outstanding.

No many teams can pull off a performance like that, especially against a team like City brimming with creative talent.

I'l be happy if we can keep us shape that well against the likes of Solihull next season.  

It was nice of James to take Sterling out of his pocket so he could get subbed.

The Pep bubble went pop.

Take note the rest of Premiership, thats how you stop Man City, no plan B really, all this biging up Man City by pundits bores me.
The likes of Moyes, Dyche and Rodgers are better mangers.

Hope Sterling does not get in the England first 11, he been excrement this season.

Very similar to what Villa Real did to Utd.

I suppose Dyche could try and get Ashley Westwood to be Ngolo Kante.

Sounds like a tasty double to me .... best of luck Pete

Good weekend?

And how many town players played?

Let’s face it, whichever league you are in, no matter who you support, players move on

100%. I still feel the best players more often than not will end up at Real Madrid. They pay extraordinary well eg 11.5million basic wage in 2019 and they have the history to boot. I remember David Beckham saying the only club he would leave Manchester United for would be Real Madrid.

Having said that some gems escape Real Madrids clutches. For me Ronaldinho was a genius and on form was practically unplayable. I don't think no amount of tactical genius could stop him if he  was in the zone. You try to mark him out of the game and that leaves space for others. Likewise in his prime a joy to watch as he loved the game and his joy was there for all to see.

Despite his teeth I think his joy at being able to play the beautiful game so well was genuine.

Indeed, fantastic skill.....without watching him every week I do wonder if he was actually the magician more often or not or more of a frustration to watch or even play with by overdoing it more often than not.
Showreels are great but I just wonder if some of the stuff was actually that productive week in week out.
Playing in two or three team League's certainly gave him the stage to work on though.

I think like Diego Maradona or Christiano Ronaldo that magic can win you games in the blink of an eye. But yes as you have pointed out it has to be a team game and no player is above the side. Interesting watching the Netflix documentary on" becoming  champions". You may have seen it. Only 8 countries have ever won the world Cup.The great Brazilian side of the 1970 were so good and probably the best international side ever as they were a team all playing for each other. I don't think Ronaldinho was a selfless player through. From reading and watching stuff about him it was more the advertising and partying lifestyle which affected his focus.  In many ways he was a victim of his own genius bit like George Best but not as acute.
