Well, like i explaining to my Scouse friend at the moment....long be the days in the 00s where Chelsea vs Liverpool in knockout stages of Champions league every season in great tactical battles of Benitez vs Mourinho, where defenders defended and kept quiet the likes of Torres and Drogba in their prime. Now Liverpool just go #YOLO and make it entertaining for the neutral but absolute silly for the future. They wont score this amount of goals in the Champions league so again we'll have Liverpool just diving out before the Group stage again or whatever. Just makes league look even worst, which i admit at the moment it is 3rd best league in the world in terms of quality.

But again, if you think the premiership is tactically inept, why would you support the team that doesn't even know what defending is all about xD
I can't have Liverpool winning just because they have no idea how to defend, it's a joke >.<


I don't think Liverpool is any worse than other teams tactically. To me they play pretty solid football. Their inability to defend is because the players they have at the back are just shit, so that fact doesn't have a lot to do with tactics.

And in the end, the game is and always should be about who scores more goals. If Liverpool wins every match 6-4 like you say, they are deserving champions.

La Liga is good at the top but there are some tiny teams in that division. The bottom six there would have trouble competing in The Championship in England. Ranking leagues is always going to be a bit of a pointless exercise because it depends on what you are comparing. But the league as whole in Spain is not very deep at all.

Bundesliga has been a complete white wash this year hopefully the Rhur clubs get their shit together next year and we can have a good title race. Schalke and Leverkusen didn't impress me in Europe at all this year.

edit:I missed the bloody goal because I was typing this crap.

Tottenham is quite famous in Turkey because their way to defence is very similiar to Turkish teams :D

You can see comments like "Gala-defence doing their work again, oh it was definitely Besiktas defence" lolol.

Tactically the top teams in those leagues dwarf England's. You have Bayern who dwarf all of England, then you have Real Barca and Atletico who dwarf the whole of England. Thats the point i was making their, of course competitively those leagues are very poor but the best teams in those leagues > Premiership's

I'm always amazed how the Bundesliga manages a greater total attendance than the Premier league despite having two less clubs and there for 76 less games. That league has some serious depth (at least on the attendance front).

Why are Spurs so suicidal in their defense, they keep trying to play out of the back like they are Barcelona? Stop doing that haha.
Nice save i think though isn't it? Not seen replay but i think keeper tips it onto the bar?

It was over ages ago for Chelsea Mensol We lost to Villa which was game over, losing to Palace means we will finish 3rd. I just hope to god stupid City do not fuck this up and leave the door open for silly Liverpool.
I also have faith that we will not get beaten at Anfield too ^_^

Yeah, amazing save by Lloris.

Sherwood is making AVB look like Fergie right now. I can't even find words for how shit we are. Tim's lovechild Bentaleb starts every game while Sandro and Dembele rot on the bench.

If Spurs signs Van Gaal as a new manager then i will cheer for them in the next season :d He can make things very interesting, just give him what he wants.

"Louis van Gaal has nothing more to learn." Louis van Gaal

Louis van Gaal starts every conversation with anyone describing which prizes he has won and every team at the top right now is there because of his influence.

It is hilarious how bad english clubs are at spending their money. Take Fulham they spend this year on transfers half the money that Mainz 05 has on marketvalue on its entire roster (25.350.000€ spend vs. 56.650.000 € of value for the entire roster).
Mainz is currently ranked 7th, 4 points away from CL qualification, Fulham is dead last.

I mean srsly who is Konstantinos Mitroglou and why the heck would you spend 15.2 Million € for him. You get like 20 talented players around 20 for that money in germany. Or how about Adrián Ramos and Josip Drmic? They have a combined value of half a million less and made 32 goals this far this season.

(Sorry for ranting but PL drives me crazy sometimes)

clubs, like people, spend according to how much money they have / expect to have. PL clubs spend more because they have more.

clubs like people also don't actually get that much more out of that much more money. I mean yea sure there are some shiny ferraris, but they don't give a good return on their investment.
