Why do la liga funboys always start up shit?
Aside from that Athletic just trashed Utd. I don't understand why park was in the lineup after getting demolish in the first leg? Llorente strike was a beauty and that strike was on his weak foot i believed not to sure tho. Muniain is a beast on the side. Can't wait for the Copa Del Rey Final Athletic vs Barca what a good match. I saw the previous Athletic vs Barca match a few months ago in San Mamés. Messi was lackluster in that game tho and it was raining so the pitch was flying all over the place. Nevertheless, it was a close game! I want Athletic to win the europa to show their cantera policy is awesome!

Muniain + Llorente are awesome.
As for United, SAF really needs to figure out that midfield in the summer transfer period. Someone needs to drill in his brain that Carrick is trash. Eden Hazard maybe?

Hazard and Javi Martinez and you're fine to go.

I've only ever seen Hazard play a few times and he was playing as a winger on each of those occasions. Anyways, he would definitely not be a replacement for Carrick given that Hazard is primarily an attacker whereas Carrick likes to stay back and distribute the ball more.

Bilbao was extremely effective when pressuring the ball and almost all of United's players struggled when faced with such heavy pressing. Carrick didn't play that bad compared to some of United's other players that struggled under such pressure. I don't think that having Eden Hazard would have won the game for United.

At the end of the day, SAF constantly gets criticized for whatever personnel decisions he does or doesn't make. But somehow United always manage to bundle their way to the top or close to the top of the table year after year which is serious cause for jealousy (on any other team's part).

Bilbao turned up to both legs of the game and ManUtd didn't thats all i think really happend in those games personally. You can argue the team selection was weak, but on paper that "weak" team of united still beats Bilbao every day of the week. Bilbao play fantastic football and in the both legs everyone was REALLY up for it and its completelty down to there faboulous manager who imo will not be there come the end of the season if he wins or gets to the final of the Europa League. Roman will be on the phone to him before you know it, he is Chelsea bound.

As for City, i have said it all season to people in England, Mancini hasn't got a clue tactically at times, from his substitutions he made last season and early on this season he plays a complete random team and he has issues with stubborn'ness like AVB had, he is right the players are wrong. They were never going to win that comeptition vs a half decent team who turn up to play and give them a game thus Sporting did and punished them.

Also compare Chelsea performance to that of Man utd and Man city and you see the difference? Chelsea are 5th man utd and man city are 1st and 2nd.

Draw for Champions league last 8 and semi final is @ 11:45 CET (10:45 GMT) 7:45 EDT 19:45 KST on the UEFA website you can normally watch but i will be happy to post stream links if anyone cant find it.
