I think I will cry if we replace Yaya with Gascherano

Totally agree with you Nolan. Too often Keita is just missing in games, and with our posession style, every player is crucial, particularly the midfielders.

Meta how has our form been not having Xaviesta in CM? It's not been good, and a large part of that has been a lack of fluidity and creativity from the midfield. Now Titi is back the sonner we get those two back in there the better. Biscuits is improving but he lacks the physicality currently to...

Keita started well but he's not good enough to be our DM against good sides. Yaya performed against the best last season in protecting our back four so we know he has the ability. Keita has caught the eye with his goals this season but it's been increasing clear of late that he is not good when...

I'm really concerned we are going to force Yaya out (he's better than Keita, no argument) and replace him with that wanker Mascherano :rolleyes:

I wouldn't say it was bias, just Pool fans are more likely to have a higher opinion of those players. All 3 would be in and around a lot of people's squads, so it's not like they're crazy picks.

Just bought him on FM :lol: I voted Rafa. He knows our players whereas Chyg is no where near settled in La Liga yet. Rafa has done ok except for really blatent mistakes, whereas Chyg has just been consistently slow and ineffective.

Agree, he would cost a shitload and I don't think he'd actually be that great for us

I'd have Higuain in my side over Benzema any day.

Hahaha oh dear :lol:

+1 :thumbsup2: In regards to Pep's subs though, anyone else annoyed by them against Mallorca? Xaviesta and Messi finally get a rest, we manage to do the job without them and are cruising, so what does he do? Bring them all on rather than giving minutes to players that need them e.g. Bojan. Now...

Interesting to watch it again. I think Pique can be blamed for the attack leading to the corner. His header at the near post wasn't good, but definitely Abidal was pathetic there. He didn't even move until the ball was in the net. Better communication between Chyg and Pique would have had Pique...

I really hope CR doesn't finish 2nd. He had a very average season tbh, wasn't great in the CL. Xavi should be 2nd ahead of him. However I expect the idiots to pick on reputation somewhat.

It was Pique being poor that allowed the striker in behind. If it wasn't for a great save from Victor there wouldn't have been a corner. Quite simply the marking was ridiculous on the corner, Puyol had 2 men whilst half our team was at the front post. Not good.

Pique was dreadful in the first half, one of his worst ever displays for us. At fault for the first goal and his passing was so innaccurate. He improved 2nd half, but his form needs to pick up asap.

Swansea are walking it!

Lol exactly. As a second choice I'd have Spanish rather Chinese etc that you get on streams sometimes. But having commentary you understand does kind of help. People in Spain don't watch the Prem with English commentary, that's a fact.

There's a mixture of commentators and co-commentators up there so it's a bit harder. Keatings is my favourite, very consistent and unbiased. Armstrong is the best in the colour role. Terry Gibson has definitely grown on me though, I used to think he was a bit shit, but now he's pretty cool. Rob...

Although it isn't great news I think the effect of this is being exaggerated. People are overlooking the fact that the Premiership, the most foreign dominated league, will be at 50% in the new year. That is huge, and they may well suffer because of it. When you consider that currently Spain...

Exactly, there were only certain players who were actually used in the quals. It's not as if Spain had a tough group either, it was a walk in the park so it didn't require epic performances from anyone. Just because qualifying is over shouldn't mean the door is closed in terms of the squad...
