Do you think that defences in Spain are better and more organised than those in the EPL?

At this point I'd definitely say yes.

Hard for me to say, given how little La Liga I watch.

Just occurred to me earlier, when contemplating the number of goals being scored in the EPL and and the standard of the defending, that goalscoring there may have to be viewed in a different light compared to what they were in the past.

I reckon Serie A teams defend much better, even the shite like Siena, Chievo, Bologna etc.

No doubt.

He's gonna get it now. The day after it's signed he'll tear both his ACL's.

Can't take the commentators on premier league matches seriously.. The wankers commented on some invisible great skill that was required after 4 defenders failed to stop 1 attacker...

With the exception of Pescara and Roma.

I would like to see Zeman's Roma in the EPL, we could be looking at the first 10-10 draw in history (or a very long time at least)

 

[Trequartista]

That would be quite a spectacle

Van Persie is still class regardless of the fact he's playing in England.

No doubts mah nigga. But there ain't no denying the level of the EPL has dropped down considerably in the past few years.

 

[ALC]

Word.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

But yeah, would definitely have loved him here this season.

 

[ALC]

For sure, we'd be in the top three teams in the world with someone like him.

Defending in the EPL has been on a downward slope for the past few years to be honest. Gone are the days when the Everton's, Newcastle's and Aston Villa's would hold star studded United and Chelsea sides to a tough 1-0 win. Whats even more apparent is the drop in the quality of the top teams defending. 3-4 years ago the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and United's defenses were one of the best in Europe, right now, they're a complete joke.

That being said, i still think the level of defending is not as bad as the Liga. However as a league the Liga is now miles ahead of the EPL, been saying that since last year to be honest. Teams like Chelsea and Arsenal are a joke nowadays, i'd say the likes of Malaga and Atletico are better teams to be honest.

Everton & Chelsea should be a good match this morning.

Ya, I like Everton this season. Would love to take Fellaini and Baines off their hands :lick:

Moyes is a really admirable manager, the team he's built at Everton and the consistency he's had over the past few years is nothing short of incredible. I'm happy the Spuds took AVB instead of giving Moyes a chance.

Looked like Kompany got very lucky in the Man City game yesterday? Raised himself off the ground and dived in with studs showing, certainly looked quite bad, while Bassong got a yellow for something that looked less cynical.

This is funny.

I like Moyes a lot. He's a good manager. I'd like to see them qualify for the CL, but it's going to be tough for them.

Sir Alex's long term replacement?

Sir Alex's long term replacement?

That would suck....

 

[da_ledgeaun]

Go the blue side of Merseyside! I admire Everton and Moyes a lot..
