I just have to say that playing Kagawa really gives Man Utd the added dimension it's missing in the middle of the pitch. Even if he always drifts inside, he knows the right channels to move into and makes Evra more effective out wide as a result. It does force Evra to run more overall and makes the left flank more exploitable defensively. Kagawa isn't very strong on the ball similar to Young and can get muscled off. But his creativity and vision are a class above. Fellaini works really well with Carrick. It's hard to see Anderson and Cleverly playing again.

i hate seeing kagawa on the wing. hes not a good winger because as you said, he always cuts inside. and now that evra is like 32, he cant keep making runs up and down the left side all by himself. kagawa didnt really do much against leverkusen either, one shot and a couple passes was about it. he lost the ball a couple of times and his first touch was quite bad, not sure if its a result of his illness or him not being used to his position, but either way he wasnt his best.

Apparently Mourinho wants Oscar to fill the No.10 role and Mata has to adapt. In a way Mou even blamed Mata for the loss against Basel.

Well real footie is explosive aswell, the difference is that it replaces commercials and stop starts with beautiful flowing play. Obviousy its all about personal preference, and Ive enjoyed some American Football, but I just can´t wrap my head around the fact that they stop the play so frickin often. Shifting the ball around, patiently waiting to pounce when an opportunity arise, recycling the ball left to right. Ah its so fucking beautiful.

That's the funny thing, AMericans see football as a ludicrously slow game, because of passing around in circles etc. But their game literally has ad breaks programmed into the schedule lol!

NFL does stop a lot, but when you are used to it you realise this just makes it better. It's all about the coordinators and head coach who are designing 'plays' which are the routes everyone will run when the game restarts. NFL is definitely more explosive, it's kind of obvious. There are like 4 ronaldos on every team!

Talent>physicality all day erryday.
I'll have my messi's and my zidane's and you can have your bolt's and your cristiano's.

But it's a superior game for the coaches at least. I know it's very very tactical.
Pep should switch sports and invent NFL tiki-taka. lol

I wish that American sports had some kind of penalty for poor performance, like relegation. It makes the league and the sport look bad when teams like the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills can suck every single year and then be rewarded with financial stability and higher priority access to the new talent entering the league.

I know what you are trying to say, but those are some horrible comparions lol. Bolt is from another sport in which he is very talented and Cristiano is massively talented XD

Anyway I think the word you are looking for is technique and not talent, which would make more sense

No, I mean talent.

Messi, Ronie and other artists of football were born with it as these vids show.
If we had the technology back then I'm sure we would find similar vids of Georgie Best, Maradona, Cruyff etc

Very few players have that finesse.

Both videos genuinely gave me goosebumps, they're 1 of the reasons i love football so much. When we see players like that appear throughout time the whole football worlds breath stops for a second and reminds us that some things come natural to others

Great footage, gave me goosebumps But it completely misses the point XD What you describe is talent, but you talk as if Bolt and Cristiano ronaldo have none which is so blatantly false.

Talent can manifest itself in different ways.

I think both things are equally impressive . There is way more autonomy in play in football so it allows for far more creativity and individual finesse. There are some breathtaking acts of individual talent in NFL that mostly come from quarterbacks, especially the ones who pretty much run their own offensive coordination lol.

Also NFL has loltastic amounts of heart in it sometimes, check out this guy who was a rookie in this:

There's one other thing the NFL (well all american sports) unfortunately completely rapes football at and that's their ability to make unbelievable retrospective shows. There's this whole branch of the NFL called NFL films which is incredible, producing amazing stuff every year that just fleshes out the game so much more. Like why Sky does promos about things like when Thierry Henry returned except x10. We have nothing like this unfortunately:

My prediction coming true again xD

I always say Liverpool only turn up vs the big teams, and when they are faced with teams /defending and /counter they just fall apart and lose games they shouldn't They in big trouble 1-0 down at home to Southampton atm
