Right, since the co-efficient thread has been revived (http://forum.juventuz.org/threads/28323-UEFA-Coefficient) can we focus co-efficient talk there and stick to discussing the games and stuff in this thread and in the CL thread.

You know that acting like a mod when you aren't one is an infractable offence?

West Ham got in through the Fair Play League: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/26/west-ham-europa-league-fair-play-place And look at the reporter's attitude. A celebration of a mediocre team getting a chance in European competition? No. West Ham’s new manager will have Europa...

There was a lot of good stuff in the game. I would still consider that team to have been an assymetrical 3-5-2 rather than an assymetrical 4-3-3 - not that it really matters. One way or another, it got a lot of players playing in something close to their best positions without unbalancing the...

Was starting on the right and wandering inside in the Copa America, I think.

How many fast 6'5 strikers are there? Of course Llorente wasn't fast. It's a pointless observation. Similarly, there was no point in saying 'Tevez wouldn't have scored that' when Llorente scored a towering header.

First league loss on Saturday, but Celtic only drew, so limited damage done. Ward Logan-Taylor-Quinn-Considine Jack-Shinnie Hayes--McLean--McGinn Parker Nothingy performance in the first half. Lucky to only be one down. More conviction in the second half and should have...

Indeed. When you see all the stuff about the English teams doing badly in the CL and that that's going to lose them their fourth spot, it's quite clear they aren't learning from Italy's mistake. It was the failure to take the EL seriousy and hoover up loads of pretty easy coeffiecient points...

No, the time came quite a while ago.

Played a round of golf today that consisted of 18 pars. :D Also, I think I'm going to have to get me one of these: Need a new 3-wood and fancy an adjustable one that I can muck about with. And it looks awesome. Jason Day's been using it the last few weeks.

Yeah, signs of progress. I said after Juve lost their first couple of games that I felt only limited blame could be attached to Allegri due to how late in the window the squad was assembled, but that I'd exect to see signs of the team coming together by the next international break. He's...

Well there's me. You are over the top linking to your podcast in heaps of different threads as you are just now. I suggest you open a single thread to advertise your blog. People who are interested can then see what you are speaking about when you update that thread with new posts.

I'd argue Pogba had that luxury an awful lot in the last couple of years due to how strong Juve's midfield has been in general play. In those teams it was okay for Pogba to go missing for long periods and then come up with something brilliant, but now he needs to do more of the basic work in...

I hate comments like this. If Pogba is the world-beater he is meant to be, he shouldn't need everyone around him to be brilliant in order to perform to a good standard. It's one thing to make those remarks about forwards who need to be given the ball, but Pogba is playing in a role where he...

If things go wrong, blame has to be apportioned between the coach and the sporting director (if we look at it fairly simplistically). If the squad given to the coach is inadequate, then it is the director's fault. If the squad doesn't perform to its capabilities, it's the coaches fault...

So Zaza scored a goal and created a good chance for Cuadrado and he's being heavily criticised? One would almost think people had made up their minds about him in advance and weren't going to give him a chance...

Horrible game from McInnes last night. Fell into his usual bad habit of playing both strikers and that never works. Often we are strong enough to win despite playing both of them, but when missing tactically key players it was too hard. Also couldn't have set the team up in a way that was...

Off to Edinburgh tomorrow with yet another mighty travelling Aberdeen support. :weee:

The quote I'm seeing is merely saying that they are both central strikers. I don't interpret that as meaning they are both classed as centre-forwards - just that they won't play wide or trequartista. Juve will still play 4-3-1-2 an awful lot this season, including tomorrow, so I don't quite...
