God Manchester United needs a midfielder who can pass he ball forward. Cleverly you looked so good at first but it's all gone so horribly wrong. Fuck and we wasted 27 on Fellaini. Argh. Frustrating result considering we can't get any sort of momentum going. Valencia is fine and all except he can't do the one thing that made him a top level winger- cross. -.-

This transfer window may be important. Not completely confident we'll get our usual surge. I don't think Moyes knows his best 11.

Yeah i watched the last 20minutes of the Barca vs Athletico game and was quite surprised that it was "all" Athletico according to the Sky commentators. Then after watching for that period of time i was just shocked at how lost and poor Barcelona looked. They looked like they were waiting for something or someone to do something, i was bewildered. Also the amount of times Iniesta and Xavi miss placed a pass or got tackled easily was actually making me think to myself am i awake of have i fell asleep lol.

Athletico looked like they worked hard but i think they were more lucky than anything facing the Barcelona side which were just lackluster.

Hey makes for a more interesting La Liga though! Also might be proving Guillem Ballague right...he said Real will win the league and be better than Barcelona by the end of the season and well watching them they were pretty good! Bale is finding his feet now, 13 appearances and 9 goals...hell he isn't even fucking fit yet haha! Also...6 assists!! In La Liga alone, not bad indeed! Looks like he is becoming a Galactico ^_^

Oh yeah that reminds me, Athletico last night....Ander Herrera looks more than capable of being that player you want, he is still learning and would need time to get to the pace of the premier league. However i think he is capable, shows quick feet and a great eye for a pass.

Something out of the category "weird things": There is a "Aaron Ramsey celebrity curse". After he scores a number of celebrities or at least known people died in the next day or in the next few days. This far Whitney Houston, Osama bin Laden, Steve Jobs, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Paul Walker.

Thats weird.

Famous people die every day Don't let your mind play tricks on you.

edit: for once I agree with Wenger, football is a team sport and thus the Ballon d'Or is bullshit.

I think you can award individual performances, we like to praise players with the man of the match award for example. I just think that the award needs to be more objective and made so that well performing GK's/defenders/midfielders have a chance.

Yeah instead of a best player in the world, how about the best Striker - Midfielder - Defender - Goal Keeper award indeed.

Wenger has also said that "Messi is the best player ever".
That man knows his football.

Don't think it's that necessary. Defenders are defenders because they were not good enough to be midfielders/attackers. I think that's fairly apparent in the premier league for example. All of the defenders suck at actually playing football (except Vertonghen, <3 Vertonghen + Show Spoiler [reaction to 30th league title at 2:33] +
. They conquer the ball and as soon as they can they should pass it to someone who knows how to play with possession.

Every kid wants to score the goals when he's young.

Keepers is a whole different category. I guess you can create a goalkeeper award but it'll never be as prestigious.

...

I politely disagree. I do not watch a lot of premiere league but in the Bundesliga for example there are a lot of defenders who play very good. And its not uncommon for CBs to score goals as well (see puyol, hummels...) its just from different situations. Also I hate measuring how well someone plays in the amount of goals he scores, I didnt think anyone would do this.

Well every player that has been among the discussion of 'greatest player ever' has been a striker/attacking player basically.

Pele, Cruijff, Maradonna, Zidane and now Ronaldo/Messi.

I think that says it all basically. History doesn't remember defenders, they remember attacking players. And for good reason. We don't want every team in the world to play like Chelsea ()

Hey we don't play like that no more Mr bm!!
We are the opposite of what we were under DiMatteo on the back of the AVB sacking and winning the Champions League. Now we are a strong and very good passing unit, not the best, far from it, but still top 3 in the premiership, in my bias opinion xD

Don't forget, our reserves out played Arsenal in their back yard at a passing game and our kids out passed/played/footballed Barcelona in the Nou Camp last year

I was about to say Vertonghen but you beat me to it I think defenders generally are poor at playing football, but there are exceptions and these exceptions are what make them so great. Vertonghen being one of them, Kompany, Silva, Ramos and Pique in his good years are all capable of outstanding defending and good technical ability. I also don't think many offensive players are so much better in possession to be honest, some of the wingers for example are so single minded and lose the ball so often it's laughable.

That's a Dutch way of thinking, in Germany Beckenbauer and Matthäus are generally seen as the best German players ever although they played somewhat defensive roles. Lahm will probably also be remembered for a long time.

And don't tell me we had no good attackers, we had Gerd Müller
