200 million on wing backs, 500 million on the whole defense and their CB pairing in a CL do or die game is --
A 50 year old Fernandinho - a child, Garcia - a good, but not great Laporte.
Then in playing a right wing back on the left.
Talk about money miss road

Re: Man. City 0 vs Lyon 1
How come Guardiola never changes his play, all this suke suke play that takes forever to build a single threat. Get some tall strikers to give you options,, not all these short short players who once there is no where to run to, turns the whole team play into square and back pases.
How can you have that stats in poses sin and still lose 3-1,simple most the passes were short square and triangular passes.

Re: Man. City 0 vs Lyon 1
The intro. of Dembele & his hold up play at that pt in the match was always going to be a problem. Besides, pressure is underrated on the big stage - the ManC players were missing the basics - that's down to nerves.

For anyone assuming Munich will run over Lyon,....not so fast.
This Lyon team can defend like hell, and the UCL has proven too many teams that good defensive teams should never be underestimated.

Re: Man. City 0 vs Lyon 1
Oh please look at those short brainless City attackers and tell me they pose any threat to Lyon. I will love to see them against those German machines who are threat both in the air and on the ground. City offered no threat in the air, thus limiting the threat they posed to Lyon.charlie wrote:For anyone assuming Munich will run over Lyon,....not so fast.

That's Pep's M.O. to live and die with this philosophical beliefs. More often than not it works for him but when it gets bogged down, there's usually no plan B.

Chief, that Lyon team can counter like no man's business. And they work really hard for each other defensively. Juve couldn't break them down in their own house.

Re: Man. City 0 vs Lyon 1
This just shows you how weak the English league is.
And I hope everyone can also see how tough the so called "one team" German league is? With Bayern, Leipzig, Dortmund and Leverkusen, the likes of United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal will never finish top 4.

All English media with the narrative that "City did not play well" or that the officials screwed them...
Lyon managed them excellently well and never let them unbalance their defensive set up...

Re: Man. City 0 vs Lyon 1
Tall strikers like Higuain abi. I am not underating them at all, but please Bayern have enough to take care of business. Bayern's attack offer variety, pace in Gnarby and Persic, power and height in Legwadonsky and Muller..kajifu wrote:Uncle Lyon is not some small club as you make it,They take care of Juve easy with tall strikers.So your point about Tall strikers no hold water.oloye wrote:Oh please look at those short brainless City attackers and tell me they pose any threat to Lyon.

Of course football can still be football, but on paper Bayern come to the party with enough tools in their bag to do the damage.
This useless City make my blood boil when they go on this their one way route.

Juve with their midfield over the last 2 years cannot even break open the legs of a whore in a brothel. Abeg no make me laugh.
Its a one-leg semi final, which means its a "final." I expect Lyon to come out fighting and ready to kill and die! But i am reading your post and I know you have never watched Bayern play. Anyone who has watched Bayern play once will know that Bayern runs as much as, if not more than anyone. Even yesterday the commentator said they had run the most distance of any team in the CL (please check to confirm, I didnt confirm). Go and ask Chelsea. Bayern players are fooking fit and conditioning is a huge part of their game

Every season is judged on its own because clubs go back in the summer to refuel and buy players. As for this season, the EPL is weak and only Liverpool will play in the top 4 of Germany. The rest wouldnt be able to.

Secondly, I dont think you understand my analysis. I watch the Bundesliga and it is stronger than the EPL this season. Remember when Pa Jimoh was celebrating the Leipzig draw in december and I told him that he should be begging for Barca and Madrid, because Leipzig will murder them?? Did you see what happened in London and leipzig???
If you watch the Bundesliga, you will know how weak the EPL is, compared to the Bundesliga.
