Which happened first?

The same as every other day, I'd imagine. - - - Updated - - - Gearing up for a jaunt down to Dundee-Aberdeen tomorrow. My first away game of the season. Going to be almost 4,000 Dons there. Dundee may be a little touchy as well haven't played them down there since we relegated them a couple...

That's an impressive start for a new member. Not even a dozen posts and he's already asking for hard drugs to be shared.

I guess Tomate may be one of those people who would be happy to sign any winger - regardless of the standard of the play - if it could be viewed as an indication that Juve would change to 4-3-3. Ask if anyone wants to sign Palladino or Lanzafame and it won't take long before you get a "4-3-3...

Decent player, but not likely to start for a top side any time soon.

Yeah, has to be a chance to get at Roma late on. As Garcia said after the City game: "...we suffered in the last 10 minutes because we’ve been forced to play the same men in central midfield and defence for weeks." - - - Updated - - - Complicated tactical match-up for Juve if they try to...

I think both teams played pretty much the game they wanted to. It just so happened that Atletico nicked a goal, so their plan suddenly looked better than it really was. I don't think it was a mistake from Allegri as controlling the game with possession gave the best chance of drawing the...

There was a fair bit of debate pre-match. I wanted Juve to have less possession than they ended up having, with the intention of denying Atletico counter-attacking chances and to increase the chance of Juve being able to find space when they did get the ball and the chance to attack. The...

And we all know that it is impossible to chop through a tree trunk. :shifty:

That's unreasonable. You can behead any one of them instead and release the video as a warning/light entertainment.

Yeah, the thought did occur that Juve could go the opposite way to focusing on Llorente and try to do the whole 'not giving reference points' thing with more mobility up front. My issue with that is that Barca haven't managed to hurt Atletico playing in that sort of fashion and they've been the...

I know what you mean. I consider myself a pretty good all-rounder that could have done a lot of different things and it has made it tough to decide on what to specialise in.

Seems unnecessary. If they don't want Legia to win, UEFA can just retrospectively award the game to Trabzon.

They usually do reappear. I didn't think it was possible to block a mod. What we have to say is deemed far too important to be ignored.

Why wouldn't I infract someone who continues doing something after a mod has told people to stop doing it? That you quoted the mod while doing it, you were clearly asking for an infraction.

That's a very silly thing to say.

Threads disappear now and again for no apparent reason. It's all Marty's fault.

More broadly, what is the way to play against Atletico for anyone? Real Madrid and Barcelona haven't yet figured out a way to consistently create chances and score goals against them. How do you draw them out of shape or open them up at 0-0? Are you going to try and instigate a more open...

Eventually it wears rather thin when I get the impression people treat every loss as a chance to air whatever their favourite grievance is, rather than appearing to analyse what has actually happened in a particualr match.
