Fine I will go away please delete my account. You can delete my post as well.

You want some more? I wouldn't say Alonso was world class now, but still a decent player and though I am not his biggest fan he starts for Bayern than went to the CL semis and won the league. Then there is Pique, who went to United to Barca. Motta is another player. Cannavaro too. It usually...

Nope unlike some here I can actually discuss a game without blinkers. I said clearly you should have had a pen. Cabaye took Nasri's legs. I never said we had more possession or more of the game. I said the opposite. I said CITY had more possession and more of the game. I said until the goal we...

You can look at my post history and see that I have always been a huge Schweinsteiger fan and always put him behind only Xavi and Iniesta in this generation of midfielders. I watch most Bayern matches, I watch a lot of Germany and can see why he did not fit into Guardioal's system. However, at...

I can do better. Pirlo was let go for free and look what he did in the subsequent years winning several Serie A titles, and making the finals of the CL and European Championship. Cech was let go for around 10 million and is still an unbelievable goalkeeper. You let Tevez go and for fairly...

I didn't just say Carrick and Schweinsteiger, because there are games where there lack of pace will be exposed, I included Schneiderlin in there. Ultimately it comes down to this. I believe Schweinsteiger is still a world class player and will show it this season and at the Euros. People here...

By that do you just mean Liverpool? Good keeper, but goalkeeprs is actually where the top English teams are really impressive. Hart, De Gea, Courtois, Cech and Loris are probably the best group of keepers you will find amongst the top 5 in any league.

Except it wasn't as idle as people including Neville are making out. They isolated their hope 'Depay' with Clyne several times. This is where the tactic relies on a world class player. Depay as many here have said was awful and lost the ball every time. The second thing they did was completely...

Yeh that was a bad foul and could have been a red. I won't deny that. It was bad challenge. Yaya did a really bad foul down in the corner and Nasri tried to take Bolasie out too. Both pretty bad fouls, though not as bad as the Danns one. Dann is not a dirty player. He did one bad foul...

They could take more risks if they wanted, but it is a deliberate tactic. Do you really think Schweinsteiger and Carrick lack creativity? I hate the tactic and I don't believe it works, but just because they are choosing to play a certain way does not mean they can't play a different way under a...

Do you actually think that Smalling and Blind are a good partnership defensively? Even Shaw is very suspect positioning and would be exposed. It's the Barcelona tactic of possesion being the best form of defence. You can't concede if you have the ball. You don't have to make progress or attack...

Yes and we could have nicked it too. It's unfortunate Aguero got injured and that was a bad tackle but how were we worse than you when it came to physicality? Yaya, Mangal and Nasri all put in hard challengers themselves.

I don't get what you mean by hindsight? Did you mean insight? If so thanks. I try my best.

Defoe should never have to the MLS. I would love to have had him this season at Palace. He is exactly the sort of player we are missing. It's been an enjoyable game and Sunderland look much better. I expect Son to score some wonder goals this season. Kane's being a bit too selfish and the...

Lots wrong with Chelsea. The problems they had at the end last season still there, but they have a few extra ones. As happens to players past 30 it seems that Ivanovic and Terry have completely fallen off. Hazard is playing poorly and they miss Oscar. Add to that a big reason there defence was...
