I agree fully. How we didnt manage to crush them with a big margin (when you look at how the match was played) and reaching the final i still got a hard time understand that here nearly 8 months after. That was some wierd shit to watch, we played so fucking good but it wasnt enough.
Vidal was an absolute monster. His performance down the stretch for you guys last year was amazing (starting with Juve games). His best period since that 18 month stretch at Juve before the injury when he was the best mid in football.

Certainly not as weird as the "Finale Dahoam" against Chelsea.

Wow. What are you on about? He is disgusting. Just look at the dirty way Atletico play. It's not only destructive football, but down right dirty. Just like the old Inter loser team, when they played the Materazzi way.
So true. I remember i mentioned it here after they did beat us. I mean how can you play so cowardly and dirty, but still manage to go to the final? Thats quite an achievement.

Yes. They should have enough to stay up but they need to start winning.
1 point out of the relegation zone with 14 matches left. 6 team all within 2 points at the very bottom.

Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Hull, Leicester, Swansea, Middlesborough

I must confess, I really want Leicester relegated this year. It will be so much better laughing at the PL if a team went from Championship Division (broke records with their comeback to avoid relegation the first season up) to winning the title 2 years later, to relegation the very next season :lol:

Tinpot league @Bianconero81 :p

I haven't watched him a lot here in Serie A, but saw him quite a bit in Argentina for River Plate and then Banfield. Same deal with South America U-20s. I think he scored something like 9 goals in 5 games in that tourney. Always looked like he would turn into something good.

Oh please. Don't play that tired game.

I already showed you how he took a team that had not won a thing for 2 years and tweaked them (however small the tweaks were) to win almost everything possible for the next 3 years. Went on one of the most dominant stretches in club football history. And yes, the players available made it easier, but he still managed to get them to perform to their utmost ability and win everything.
And I said few posts (or pages, no idea for how long this is going on) ago that the Barcelona period was his only great one. The problem with you is, you try make it seem like he took freakin Sevilla and made them the best team ever, with the underrating of the team he inherited. That Barca won CL 2 years before he arrived, with most players still there in 2008. Spain won in 2008 with Xavi and Iniesta as key performers (Xavi 3rd best player in the world for that year). Etoo still one of the best CFs in the world, Messi about to have his breakout year etc. So ill repeat it again, just because they finished 3rd for one season doesent take away from the greatness of the players they had. Etoo played only 18 games in 07/08, Ronaldinho only 17. How important Etoo was we saw a season later, Ronaldinho too considering Henry struggled a lot in his 1st season there. Despite this, that team played in the CL semifinal and was equal to the best team in Europe at that moment, United.

What my problem is with this is that Pep gets too much credit for Barcelonas success. They had the backbone of the greatest Spain teams (who won before Pep arrived), they had Messi, they had Etoo/Ibra/Villa, they had Henry/Sanchez/Neymar. That team was loaded with talent and would have had the same or similar success with a lot of other coaches. I wont mention Bayern again, its not necessary imo

Didn't i just say I dislike him? And reading your response, those are likely the reasons why.
Sorry, I don't why I read dislike as like. I don't know how he'll do for another European top team. It looks like he only knows to play the way he does at Atletico and I don't think other top teams
would accept that. His personality fits Atletico's which has been a dirty phaggot team as long as I remember.

Point out flaws, rational criticism is fine. But that's not what sinoy is saying. He basically saying Pep has achieved nothing out of the norm and get this... Spaletti, Sarri and now Ranieri are his equals or superior. That's just utter idiocy or madness.

Thats obviously not what im saying and can easily be concluded if you understood a word i wrote

There is some truth in that, but you got to admit that he added alot aswell. He took the high pressure that Bielsa was practicing with Bilbao and before that Chile, and tweeked it to make it fit his Barca team.
Yes. He took "the Barca way" and perfected it. But it has been figured out and he doesn't change. People should bitch about this too (like they bitch about Italian coaches being old stubborn), but what they find entertaining trumps logic.

We need to sign his son in the summer if Allegri leaves. Go for a package deal. Diego and Giovanni. :weee:
Not sure his son is ready for the step up but he sure is talented. Could be nice to get a hold of him.

As for Diego, could be fantastic seeing that crazy fucker race up and down our sidelines, while breaking all those delusionel Inda hearts.

:tup:

Football is passing Pep and Mou by, they need to adjust. Neither has yet shown the ability to do so (Mou to a worse degree thus far).
