Really Pathetic to see Chelsea fans turning against Mourinho because of Hazard.....
What do you guys take Hazard for? Zico or Cruyff?

I think that 'overrated' talk about Hazard,m really seeing it now.....
Ronaldo and Messi are the only players worth sacking Jose for...Hazard isn't abeg......
You are overrating this guy,he is our best player but please stop making it look like he is Ronaldinho..

[s]Bayern-munchen
Manchester city, I answered ur question,

In ecology, competition is defined as the interaction between organisms, populations, or species, in which birth, growth and death depend on gaining a. share of a limited enviromental resources. Please take note of ' share of a limited enviromental resources ' which is clearly not possible because we and the likes madrid and barca share those resources not arsenal, chelsea, dortmund or westham, so we are not in the same level to be competing to start with, This is to say, we are not in the level of arsenal, chelsea, manutd, and the rest, in the bundesliga those teams wouldn't make second and that's the truth cos we both know that manutd has dropped, chelsea dropping like a crashed plane as we all can see, arsenal are inconsistent, man-city who is nobody in europe at the moment tops ur league, and who else ? There can't be competition in bundesliga unless we reduce the level of our game which u all are experiencing in the premiership at the moment, or they all step up to our level, as an educated person you ought to know that the word 'noncompetitiveness' does not mean useless, so let me enlighten u about all these, until bayern start dropping at the quarters, first round of the UCL at the expense of english clubs or let me put it this way, until english clubs start doing better than german clubs in the UCL and the premiership is ranked higher than the bundesliga on the co-effiecient table, maybe then we might have an argument about this but currently the german bundesliga is a far more valuable league than the premiership, ancelotti said ' boring ' not ' useless ' which are two different words, you can be bored at ur job does not mean its uselss just as guardiola was at barca. [/s]

Festus Onigbinde:
Out of his depth now, doesnt mean he cant still find a decent level eventually, granted he will never be Man Utd standard player again (if that means something).

AdeLaNa1:
How does som1 get to win France's player of the year four times in England??

Think like a shekpeite

raumdeuter:
You know Van Gaal had 2 stints at Barca? I believe it was until the second stint before Rivaldo had to leave. He probably endured Rivaldo at the first stint while Rivaldo was WPOTY

Just the way it is with 2 stubborn people. One would mellow and wait for the slightest opportunity to hit back

E.g If Lvg starts Rivaldo on the left and in the game Rivaldo abandoned his position to the middle started dribbling and scored a hat trick Van gaal would chill, the moment they lose 2 games, He would come back with his "I told you so" and try to enforce his idea he temprarily forgot

Loius Van Gaal:
"I hope there is another Marc Overmars being developed out there somewhere.He was a good dribbler who could beat people one-on-one and that was important for a winger in our system. But he also had a very good assist record and he could score goals."

raumdeuter:
Back to Robben, He robben was the only reason LvG kept his job even though he was selfish but van gaal would just suck it up and watch

raumdeuter:
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/may/16/louis-van-gaal-bayern-munich

That was where I got the Rivaldo quote from

He had multiple issues with Rivaldo Playing on the wings was one of them but major was the clash of ego. Rivaldo saw himself as a star and he has to play where he wants, play how he wants dribble how he likes which LvG disagrees with

Its like telling of now to dribble less and play on the wings. If he isnt a humble guy he would revolt

Louis Van Gaal:
"He lacked commitment to the club, he was only interested in making more money and playing less.

"He was chosen as the best player in 1999, but he has not handled himself well since then and has not behaved like a footballer should."He had illusions about Barca and was requesting to take holidays when important Champions League games were approaching. He then hides back home in Brazil.

"He plays for Brazil like we needed him to at Barcelona, and he has proved this in the World Cup finals, showing he reserved himself for Japan.http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11833/2241655/van-gaal-hits-back-at-rivaldo

raumdeuter:
Its like asking that Despite Mourinho's fetish for Wingers who defend, How come he was able to stand Ronaldo and built his attack around him?

Same question was also posed about how Pep would cope with Robben who isnt a tiki taka kind of player

The answer is that some players are soo good that you need to accommodate them. If Messi joins Man Utd or Chelsea and sits at the half way waiting for passes. None of LvG nor Jose would bench them. If they are benched, the club owners would sack him if one result doesnt go his way.

LvG was close to getting sacked barely 3months into his Bayern job if not that results started going his way

raumdeuter:
As at 2004 Rooney looked more like the finished product compared to Ronaldo

Ronaldo was more talented but he had those childish moves, stepovers just to make fun of a defender and his end product was lacking. Ronaldo looked more like he would tow the path of Quaresma

Rooney at that time played more maturely and at that time looked like he would have a better career than Ronaldo even till 2006 when Ronaldo turned the corner


Regarding Van Gaal at Bayern.

Van Gaal came to Bayern at the right time and he changed our play pattern. Before then we used to play 4-4-2 and he changed it to 4-2-3-1. Drafted Schweinsteiger from an above average midfielder to Central midfielder, lahm to right back from left etc

He didnt care about the big names and he dropped most of them Lucio, Lucatoni, Demichelis, Gomez

His play pattern didnt want any form of risky play he preferred you to play safe just keep passing it around until an opening came. He always clashed with Ribery because Ribery was the opposite and always wanted to take risks





At Barcelona, where his falling out with Rivaldo over the Brazilian's penchant for unscripted dribbling still raises eyebrows,

moyinoluwabun:
which parastatal? Salary differ from ministry to ministry

Leyqute:
There are so many things wrong with what you said.

Did you get a look at the starting XI? You think Boro would've survived the first 45 if Martial, Herrerra and the usual gang started?

Leyqute:
Moreover it's not wise to use your players for every game- that's what Mourinho normally does and he always have a below par third season.

Apart from that, Utd have an away fixture this weekend and a UCL match midweek next week so it's a good idea to give the younguns the opportunity to show what they can do yesternight.

Leyqute:
They did a good job is what I'm saying- and it's not a consolation for the loss. I wouldn't feel any different if they've won. If you can't get past it that Utd lost, that's your problem.

I won't clarify my position to you again.

Leyqute:
You can decide to sulk and be angry because Utd broke a 20-year record by losing to a championship side at old trafford. I won't.

If twas Utd's strongest ssquad that lost the match, there's cause to tweet #LvGOut but the young players were given the opportunity to impress.

They played well and with a little confidence could've won convincingly. I'm not euphoric about the match but I'm taking something positive out of it.

unix4real1:
I have been a member of the this great forum since 2007 but along the line i forgot my password and and the password of the email i address i used to create the account, due to the Group Intimacy going on with Arsenal, i decided to try for the last time to see if i could get it right and say something about it, fortunately for me,it worked eventually. I`m a Man UTD fan and glad to be back here. been a guest to read comments here all these while finally comes to an end tonight. All my co Man Utd Fans, i hail una. Man UTD for life

pamcode:
no it isnt. Wat it means is that those four are d strongest and more consistent. Teams in buli are inconsistent that y it hard to get the top four. Besides in EPL it only the the top four you can predict. The other positions are debatable.

raumdeuter:
I cant help you if you cant see that having a static top 4 is the exact opposite of the competitive mantra you have been shouting of

raumdeuter:
This 29yr old was the best player of your rivals, their captain and top scorer in the league.How come this your explanation doesnt cut it for those who moved from Dortmund to bayern

raumdeuter:
Who are these rival clubs?
Mumomola: Schalke, or Leverkusen are bayern rivals but Tottenham and Everton are not Manure rival?.

raumdeuter:
Anyone can see that you are just clutching at straws and not making much sense. Rio joined from leed who was a top 3 PL side, RVP joined from Arsenal, Mata joined from Chelsea, Carrick and Bernatov joined from SPurs

raumdeuter:
These are not rivals but Leverkusen who have never won the league are our rivals

raumdeuter:
You mentioned 6 teams who are almost assured of top 4 finish I am mentioning 4 teams in EPL who are almost assured of top 4 finishes. That shows the lack of competition in EPL is very precise

You just alluded that your league is stable which is the polar opposite of being competitive. So there you have it An EPL fan just told everyone that their league is stable. The top 4 gets virtually no competition

raumdeuter:
Youpaid 25M for a RVP who was top scorer in the league and playing for your rival and was their captain. What can be worse that that? Its like Barca buying Ronaldo for 25M after being top scorer and Madrid captain

raumdeuter:
Over the years you were able to name 5 or 7 which dates to almost 15yrs ago. In your current team the starting 11 that started last Sunday I named 6 in the starting 11. I named 2 additional on the bench plus 2 injured.

I can go further into the past by naming Yorke, Cole, Rio, Cantona, keane Pallister etc

Man Utd preys on their league more than Bayern has ever done.

Like I said last game bayern had 2 ex Buli players thats18% , Man Utd had 6 out of 11. Thats 55%. 55% of Man Utd starting 11 came from other PL teams

raumdeuter:
Stability is the opposite of competition. You cant claim your league is competitive and yet the teams position is still stable you have to choose one

raumdeuter:
Which Wolfsburg player did we buy? Rather we gave Wolfsburg Olic, Gustavo and Dante while Wolfsburg have been selling their best players abroad like they did for Diego, Dzeko and now Kevin Debruyne

raumdeuter:
You paid 25M for RvP we paid 40M for Gotze so tell who is preying on their rival

raumdeuter:
In Bayern last game Neuer and Lewandoski were the only players from other Buli teams. 2 out of 11

raumdeuter:
In Man utd's last game they had Smalling, Jones, Valencia, Rooney, Mata And Schneiderlin thats 6. Plus Carrick and Fellaini on the bench and Shaw + young injured

How many players from other PL teams?

So tell us who is preying on their leaguerivals

raumdeuter:
Who are the top teams that can win the league in EPL? Arsenal Chelsea or is it Tottenham? Arsenal last won when Shevchenko was world footballer of the year and then Werder Bremen won the Buli

Since Arsenal won we have had Wolfsburg, Stuttgart and Dortmund win the Buli

The worrying part should be the constant top 4 in the EPL

Between 2005-2010 It was Man Utd, Chelsea Arsenal and Liverpool. In the last 5 yrs it was Man utd Chelsea, City and Arsenal with little changes once every blue moon


I can make a bet that at least 3 of those 4 would make top 4. Can you tell me the teams that would make top 4 in the Buli and put a bet on it?

If you can predict top 4 in a league of 20 then that league is useless

codedguy1:
Hahaha! Raumdeuter is a very slippery guy. Atleast you now admit there are 4 teams that have real competion to win the EPL based on the total games played amongst the whole Epl teams unlike BL where Bayern is the only constant coefficient in ur top 4 or 5 or 10 or 18.

You are bringing UEFA ranking that is based on competions outside of the BL when we are talking about competition WITHIN the BL. I have admitted BAyern is a top 3 club in the world but WITHIN their league they don't have any competition, even when they lose or draw they would probably be 12points ahead making the loss insignificant in the scheme of things.

When westham beat Arsenal at the begining of the season, the other top teams musta felt that's an advantage to them cause traditionally westham aint a top team, but they then beat city and chelsea.

In the BL, occasionally one darkhorse appears and may probably win the league in a season and then fades away the next leaving almighty Bayern as the only constant.

raumdeuter:
[s]Dispute what?

The issue is about quality of the league and Paul Scholes an EPL legend already told us EPL lacked quality

Man Utd has won 4 out of the last 8 PL titles, despite going through a transition. And even failing in Europe.

That is the most useless league anyone can think of. No team from EPL tops their CL group yet the uncompetitive Buli has 2 teams topping their CL groups. No EPL team is topping their Europa league group

And their group members are CSKA, PSV, Dynamo Kiev, Rubin Kazan Bordeaux, FC Sion, TelAviv, Zagreb, Olympiakos,[/s]

Carlo Ancelotti:
"Bayern will win the Bundesliga without even taking their hands out their pockets". I must confess that I cannot enjoy Bayern's games. There is simply too little real competition."

raumdeuter:
Scholes: The EPL lack quality players. That is as conclusive as it gets

I would take the words of Scholes who spent all his years in the EPL over Ancelotti who has never stepped into the Bundesliga

raumdeuter:
The same way Paul Scholes an epl legend pointed out how your league lacks quality

Carlo never coached in Germany unlike Scholes who spent his whole career in England

So deal with it

raumdeuter:
The same way we would top our CL group with our hands in our pocket.

Carlo Ancelotti:
[size=18pt]"Bayern will win the Bundesliga without even taking their hands out their pockets,"[/size] Ancelotti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

[size=18pt]"I must confess that I cannot enjoy Bayern's games. "There is simply too little real competition."[/size]

sinizia:
Both sides are playing "safely". Very closely-contested match. No fave for now. Valencia is playing well for us. Rooney got injured in the head.

SailorXY:
Hehehe cage Sterling? Who be Sterling to warrant two-player marshaling? Abegi!
