Katsumoto: Cole has always put Ronaldo in his back pocket.

This same Cole Ronaldo turned into a cripple

coogar: and who would city fear by winning their domestic league? did you not see the jitters they had on the last day of that season? they were being beaten at home by a 10-man QPR side. .

They played a league where the main challenger has won 19 times is that not enough to fear? Yet they won the league

that's the same napoli that won a european cup in 89 being compared to city that had virtually no history in europe.

City Also won in Europe in 1970 So they have a similar history to Napoli in Europe

a mental block has nothing to do with age, you stark illiterate. it's a collective problem of the squad & the management.

What useless mental block when you have seasoned professionals and experienced players like Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez, Silva, Yaya and Kompany these same players some toads call EPL best

city beat bayern few seasons ago & mourinho's team beat city. are you in a parallel universe?

City beat Bayern in an inconsequential game when everyone had already qualified when it mattered just like today bayern sodomised them without condoms

stoke football & a 10-man chelsea got a second goal before your team did? you are a disgrace to football punditry. what's the essence of stats when you had the numerical advantage? only a fool like you would expect the true representation of chelsea's strength when you played against 10 men for more than 30 minutes

Before the man advantage Bayern already bossed Chelsea in every department of the game and if not for some shameful cattenaccio one of the worst ever seen in European football they would have been spelt

Katsumoto: Hahahahahaha

Don't be fooled DK, I will school you in any sport.

I don't really like this section because subjective analysis too much. But if you guys want to use facts; I am in.

I will do to you what I do to those loudmouths in the Politics section.

Cole that has been England left back for 12 years. No player of colour has played that long for England, consistently.

Being Englands best Left back means zilch since England is a joke to start with

Didnt you see how Englands best Keeper was disgraced less than 4hrs ago?

chic2pimp: I still insist there's nothing Alaba can do that Cole can't. I'm pretty sure given the opportunity he can also take free kicks too. Making deep runs is a team effort not an individual one. Simply put, this bayern team is better than any other team Cole has played for.

Highly doubt he'll ever reach Cole's defensive capabilities though I'd gladly take back my statement if I am proven wrong

Show me any instance where Cole has made this type of pass in his whole career

[img]http://static.dyp.im/8c5lHGkLUN/b473edbf7b1001684305e38d38f4082a.gif[/img]

chic2pimp: I did not say Cole is a defensive full back u lanky slowpoke. What I said is speaking " strictly as a defensive left back", Cole has him beat. And attacking wise I don't see what Alaba is doing now that Cole could not or was doing in his pomp.

What is the primary role of a full back? Is it to attack abi nah defend. And who says Cole does not have attacking instinct?

I guess huth and co have great positional sense and are excellent man markers no be so? Plus Even if all u said is what Cole is only capable of doing, I'd still love to see Alaba do that over the duration of a match.

Abeg give me a 33 years old Cole jare. It's not only Alaba. What about taiye and kehinde KWASIA!!!

When was this Coles pomp? Cole has always been a disgrace as a Full back whether getting molested at the world cup quarters or by Teenage Ronaldo

Mention one world class full back who only just defend like Cashley No talent Cole.

Before Alaba moves forward he would have already silenced his right winger and rendered them useless

Katsumoto: That isn't true; Cole is better than Alaba.

When Cole retires, he will be mentioned alongside Maldini as one of the best leftbacks ever.

Alaba is good no doubt.

Katsumoto this is not First republic politics jare. Cole and Maldni for where? More like Cole and Ifeanyi Udeze

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Ko easy with this ya exaggeration.

Inasmuch as i'd take Alaba ahead of Cole now, it doesnt still deny the fact that Cole has been the more defensively disciplined ninja - which is the primary requirement of a good defender.

Going Gung-ho and providing ur gaffer with plethoria of options is just a bonus for the team, at the end of the day, u'd have to account for ya defensive records.

Alaba has squared up against a big threat once and came out smoking - against Ronaldo last three seasons. You'd certainly lose count of ninjas Cole made look ordinary - Messi is one, Robben is another.

Shey no be thisame Alaba Oga Schurrle wan kee for UEFA Super Cup ni? [/color]

Full backs are expected to be attacking. Mention one full back who isnt attacking.

Alaba played vs Barca last yr vs Madrid 2yrs ago and was stellar he has rapped everyone put on him

And Cole is a terrible Full Back not even top 5. No one reckons with a full back who is useless on the overlap

[size=13pt]Bayern now can play like Barca, or like Bayern, or like ManUtd, or like Dortmund. This makes the difference, even with the best Barca side few years ago. Bayern has a plan B and C, something Barca never had.

And they have some of the most complete and versatile players ever packed together in one single team. There are players that are world class in their special position, word class in at least one other position and 1st league level on almost every other position.

Müller has played left, right, centre midfield and single striker this year.
Lahm is the best right-back, was the best left-back, now plays defensive midfield on top level and sometimes even offensive midfielder.
Ribery and Robben can play both wings on world class level, Ribery could give the playmaker as well.
Alaba is one of the best leftbacks, and plays on almost equal level as Austrias playmaker.
Kroos and Schweinsteiger could play any midfield position, Schweini can also play any wing position and libero.
Neuer is the best keeper and quite a good field player as well.
Dante and Boateng are suberb defenders, but can play 50 meter passes as well.

Bayern plays short pass, long pass, through the middle, over the wings, with or without striker, holding, counter, dominance, pressing, have the deepest squad of versatile world class players and have a coach, who loves to change the strategy and the team selection tailor made for every game.

They could only beat themselves, as sometimes they may make the wrong decision, just because the have so many different choices.
But normally, they will fix it in minutes, even if they picked wrong at start.

This is total football with many total footballers and a total football coach.[/size]

Nuccas saying Citeh would beat us like theyve forgotten about Okafors law

Once debe always Debe.

City is our Biatchh just like Manure and Arsenal

Pataki: Did you suffer a blow to the head or something? What is the meaning of this Abirun-40 noise making you are causing here?

Who says Manshitty cannot disgrace you at ur useless arena? Or you are really this demented in reasoning?

We know how to win when it matters

Who would care about beating Man City on Gameweek 6 when we would have topped the group and fielded our reserves?

Was that not the same way Arsenal were celebrating beating Bayern in Germany when the tie was already decided at the Emirates?

nitlad: Correct.

They can't hold their own against the elites, and 1 million Yaya Toures cannot buck the ugly trend.

It irks me this much cos they made Bayansh look like say nor be dem ordinary Arsenal decimate in Germany.

And why didnt Arsenal qualify? Were you blind when Bayern gave them a masterclass in Emirates and effective killed the tie?

chic2pimp: What a load of rubbish u just typed there.
Speaking strictly as a defensive full back ,Alaba would never in this lifetime or the next match Cole.

Alaba ko Idowu ni

When was Cashleys Peak as a defender?
What is a defensive Full back you tool?

Ever since the days of Roberto Carlos, Full backs have always been expected to have flair and attacking instinct in their repertoire
is
mention one full back of note who isnt attacking

Cole is just limited to blocking shots like Huth and Shawcross. Who wont do well if all you have to do is sit in your box and dive at attackers feet to block shots

May Orunmila impregnate anyone who dares mention Yaya Toure as a top midfielder again

The midfield battle Source: Opta

Yaya Toure Bastian Schweinsteiger

coogar: city are still wet behind their ears in europe. it's a psychological problem. arsenal would have destroyed the bayern team of tonight. we saw how bayern laboured to beat a 10-man chelsea side some weeks ago. city need to get rid of their mental block before they can perform in europe.

Were they not wet behind the ears in England when they won the League?

Was Napoli not new in Europe when they made the knockout at first attempt?

What was the age and How much European experience did the likes of Gundogan- Bender, Hummels have when they reached last yrs final

How come Jose Mourinho Madrid couldnt sodomise this Man City the way Bayern and Dortmund did in 3 consecutive seasons

Bring out the stats vs Chelsea and see how Chelsea fared when they played Bayern despite playing the type of football Stoke City would even be ashamed of

Pataki: And who says City cannot return and disgrace una in that useless arena? (Not that I can be bothered anyway.)

Afterall, the shyte of the no 4 team in the EPL (Arsenal) is still smelling on your useless arena.

Or do you also need stats for this?

And wetin happen to that Arsenal?

Wetin dem win

I am waiting for what Ibime feels about Yaya-Fernadinho axis with regards to their ganggbang by Kroos

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]At this point in time, Alaba would surely get the nod.

Though not as defensively disciplined as cole, but he's ability to push upfield and provide those widths for his team then sprints back to have his position in check defines what a 'modern day' fullback should be.[/color]

At Coles peak Alaba was better currently Alaba shytes on every thing Cole has ever done

And the combined team, I wonder who would have the liver to include even 2 chelsea players in there

Pataki: Yaya - how did that guy manage to dominate ManU in the midfield?

What a horrible horrible game from City. I tuned off from the game right after Scarface scored the first goal. Pathetic Manshitty indeed.

How many EPL teams in a row now that Bayern has mauled?

Kroos just molested the best midfield pivot in the EPL

Abeg where are the stats?

This was the same Man Citeh that rapped Manure?

And I wan warn you, Nobody should ever mention Yaya Toure or Fernandinho in the class of Midfielders again

Kroos singlehandedly wrecked their careers today

Pataki: City go disgrace them tomorrow. Meanwhile, it is nice to know you are keeping up-to-date with the way these boys are playing. Finishing off a game within the first fifteen minutes. Only ARSENAL is capable of doing that.

Even dayokanu never posts on this thread again.

You were saying?

[size=14pt]If dem dey mention midfielders and someone mentions Yaya Toure again!!!!

I go slap that person[/size]

Kroos taking turns on Yaya and Fernadinho

Some days back someone was calling Yaya a half decent midfielder

Do you now see what Midfielders play like?

LOL

2-0

GustavoFring: We all had this debate a few weeks back where a couple of people including Mr Coogar and Nitlad picked current form A.Cole over the young Austrian.

If only we all knew what lay ahead...Judging by today's footy, it seems like the entire Bayern Squad would bench our first eleven bar maybe Mata,Cech,and Ivanovic

Word on marble

When I told them it was a no brainer dem dey shout

Abi no be this same City use Manure wipe the floor the other day?

Show me any stats for this first half its been domination

I would be back after 90 Hopefully we keep the tempo and score some more goals
