Overall game analysis: Lucho's 3-4-3 experiment didn't work out very well, although Celta was very impressive defensively they rarely were able to find balance and control in attack and relinquished possession. Rafinha did well while he was on (got dispossessed quite a bit) and the team needs to...

Nolito is the danger man for Celta right now, only player who's had a few close chances.

:lol:

I agree, Celta has had little to no control over the game right now. Defensively they have been sound, pressing and maintaining their lines has made it more difficult for Porto to break through. He should switch to a 4-3-3 and sub in Rafinha. I've never seen Yelko play but I've heard he's one of...

Lineup: Yoel, Hugo Mallo, Vila, Fontás, Cabral, Toni, Borja Oubiña, Augusto, Álex López, Orellana y Charles Bench: Sergio, Óscar, Túñez, Goldar, Bellvís, Fernán, Madinda, Borja Fdez, Yelko, Rafinha, Krohn-Dehli, Nolito y David

Friendly vs Porto in 1 hour and 10 minutes, this'll be the first chance we get to see how Lucho has put the team together. He'll be absolutely great in developing the young talent there and giving Celta a great footballing style. They have more amazing youth than most other teams in the league...

Division of goalscoring labor between Baptistao, Costa, Villa, etc. is better for them than relying on a single target man like Falcao. Obviously he was a crucial player but I don't think they'll decline at all without him.

:( This is worse for the league, but I'm not gonna give up yet. Athletic are set to improve a lot this season and Atletico have completely lost the tag of "feeder club", they sold Falcao for an insane price and have bought great new players to help them out. Valencia, Malaga, and Sevilla are...

He's improving but he needs vast improvement in the team oriented side of his game. Rarely ever tracks back, rarely involves in team buildup play, and walks all the time when the ball isn't with him or around him. If he develops that while on loan, he will improve by miles and be on course to...

He's part of Everton's squad for the USA tour. Do you think he'll play against Juve on Wednesday?

Pep will rotate the squad a lot. Thiago might not get all the big games in his first season, but he'll definitely get his fair share of chances and if he impresses he will get more consideration for a bigger role.

Oh yeah, but then why did Dante sub in? Also considering Martinez didn't play much at all during the Confeds cup, it doesn't make much sense to me.

How come Martinez didn't play? Thiago-Kroos would've really helped Bayern in CM with Martinez there to back them up.

He wasn't standout defensively, but did better than I would've expected him to considering he has played there for 4 games.

Overall he did pretty good, even defensively making interceptions. Yes it was his error that led to the goal but he's not a natural DM, so it's too harsh to condemn him completely off of that.

Bartra looks really lanky and weird sometimes

Barcelona have made Man City reserves midfielder Denis Suarez (19) a four-year offer, with a first season at Barcelona B. [marca] I found this guy to be pretty overrated, I'm hoping this is Marca bullshit and not something serious.

I know you have some bone to pick with Alexis but really assess our other options. Tello is unbelievably one dimensional and always remains invisible against teams with organized defenses. Pedro also remains invisible a lot of the time, at least more so than Alexis. Alexis himself, while he has...

Yeah but there's no "hate" factor involved, unlike in traditional rivalries or consistently distasteful relations.

A lot of people buy into Klopp's "personality". He's definitely got character and charisma but he plays a lot of mind/press games of his own, it's not like he's 100% honest or genuine.
