It's official for me. The PL is now the best 'possession based' league in the world now.
PL went from hoof ball to enjoyable possession based style the past 10 years thanks to the likes of Pep, Klopp, Poch, Sarri (left now), Rodgers, Potter and Farke. Now you can count on 1 hand the crappy hoof...
LOL. What about Real and Barca spending billions?
Man City and Liverpool play better attacking football than both. Atletico are a park the bus team and they are the 3rd best team in Spain. Stop talking rubbish. Does anyone think by the way a team like West Ham who has Haller, Anderson, Lanzini...
Valencia is not on par with Chelsea or Spurs at all, don't you remember Arsenal trashing them in Europa last year 7-3 on aggregrate? Arsenal were 5th in the PL..
Yeah right because a league that boasted BOTH Champions League finalists and BOTH Europa League finalists + a 98 points Man City is horrible right? I'd argue that 7th-10th placed teams in the PL is good enough to finish 4th in a lot of the top European Leagues.
This Champions League will have the most possession based sides ever.
Man City
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
PSG
Dortmund
Leverkusen
Juventus (under Sarri)
Chelsea
Napoli
Liverpool
Ajax
Spurs
Real Madrid
Inter Milan (less so under Conte)
Lyon
Shakhtar
All love to play with the ball on the ground and...
So, back to normality for Ajax. They've done well to keep so many players though.
Last years Ajax were so good they would have come top 4 in every big league minimum, probably would have pushed PSG, Juve and Bayern close
They look really good now.
Pressing the ball super well now they lost the fat ass Lukaku and some other prima donas. Defensively really strong with Macguire and AWB. Will be interesting battle for 4th with Arsenal and Chelsea. Man United are the best rounded IMO. Arsenal's attack will guarantee...
You can't have world class players in every position. Some have to do the 'dirty work' like Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum at Liverpool. Otherwise you end up with prima donnas who don't track back like Barcelona..
3-2 City.. Jesus!
City have made Spurs look like a small team only capable of passing across the back four and not looking dangerous at all. Disappointing that only Klopp in England has found a way to go toe to toe with City and Pochentino still can't.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
