The_Rev Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is Di Maria that good? I haven't been that impressed with him for united. He was very poor against Southampton. He's superb, if a little lightweight. He was the best player on the pitch in the Champions League final last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 He hasn't set the Premier League alight yet like Sanchez of Arsenal and I don't think like you say he has the physical strength to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Went back to being shit again, had to play Raul Garcia in but didnt get his head up. Ronaldo, whos done nothing pops up with the equaliser. Decent game wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So in the week Barcelona thrash Atletico, Real fail to beat them. More invention in the Barcelona front three than the Real attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Am off to Seville in April and will be seeing Seville v Barca. Havent been to Ramon Sanchez Pijuan before, so cant wait for this! Always thought Seville and Villa were quite similar in their make up and general history. (And they both have "vill" in their names!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Am off to Seville in April and will be seeing Seville v Barca. Havent been to Ramon Sanchez Pijuan before, so cant wait for this! Always thought Seville and Villa were quite similar in their make up and general history. (And they both have "vill" in their names!) Oh I wish we were more similar... They're only 6 points off 1st.. Also Sevilla are much better at home, so it should be a very competitive match.

PaulC Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Deulofeu has been brilliant every time i have watched Sevilla. They will miss him against Barcelona if he's not allowed to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Justice was done in my opinion, Atletico are good at defending but to go out and park the bus for 90 minutes is not the way I like to see football being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordoncharles Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 park the bus for 90 minutes I've come to loathe this over-used Mourinhoism as much as I loathe Mourinho himself. I agree that sometimes Atletico games can be very dull to watch. This normally applies to games against lesser sides though where their lack of creation is more evident, not against their bigger rivals. In this game they had 8 shots on goal and 5 corners. Not the stats of a team set only on blanket defence. Some perspective is needed. Barcelona's wage bill for this season is 347,900,000 euros. Atletico's is 30% of that at 105,000.000 which is, at the current exchange rate - roughly the same as Villa's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2015 As I say over and over again, there is no right way to play football. If you win games, then you're playing the right way. Given Atletico's success recently, I think it's fair to say they're doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Its a bit lilke the debate of good music versus popular music. One Direction are incredibly popular 'musicians', but its not good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 All I was saying was its not the way i like to see football being played. i love watching Villa Real they always play two strikers but i find Atletico boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
