Bayern with an injury crisis at the moment, but Guardilola was brilliant tactically. He pretty much parked the bus against Dortmund and hit them on the counter. Shame Alaba is always injured, because he is such a great player. Muller on great form and Thiago is coming back. The only worry for...

Liverpool are just not that good. They lack quality and though Rodgers is learning and great at adapting he just does not have the quality of the other top 4 clubs. His signings have not been good enough, but I don't think this season they were as bad as made out. It's the right policy to buy...

There is no release clause, but Dortmund are in a terrible state. No money, unlikely to even get Europe and Hummels is probably leaving. I think Reus fully intended to stay, but things have collapsed and no sign of improving. Unless they outline a very convincing plan to rebuild in the summer he...

So very true and it's something that people ignore. That said Ronaldo is Ronaldo. Best player in the world for me and it's not like he does not score goals when it matters like say Schalke where they were going out.

i don't see much positive in selling your club captain. Hummels is a good footballer and a good defender. This year the system has failed more than anything. He probably should show better judgement, but you cannot have the defence rushing out like Klopp wants, but have no pressure on the ball...

Sterling is 20 years old and Barkley is 21. They both get far too much stick for me. Young players are unpredictable and go through bad patches. Sterling in particular has been brilliant for a 20 year old the last couple of seasons. The stats above tell that story. At the end of last season he...

Ronaldo despite not having his best performance had a decent game. Was involved in a lot of the good Madrid build up and scored. Had a few other testing free kicks, but drifted out of the game when Modric tired and Madrid lost he midfield. As for Benzema I don't think he is underrated much at...

Reus hasn't really had a so so season. He has had a decent season it's Dortmund that have been terrible. There was the stat the other day that Dortmund with Reus have played 16 games in the league and 10 without him. Results extrapolated if they had Reus for all 26 games they would be 5th and...

Ozil got caught partying again. I think Arsenal fans and Wenger especially needs to stop defending him and stop playing him. He had a decent/good start to the Premier League considering: how late he joined, adaptation to new league, worse players etc. However, even then he was expected to kick...

Yeh should have made it more clear. I didn't actually forget to mention City, but did not think it was fair to mention them, because they have not had as many shots at the CL as the other clubs. Though winning the CL I guess includes getting in it (which is much, much easier these days) so yes...

You saw that game as Messi carrying Barcelona? No wonder he is the god of football and ten times as good as any player that ever played the game. This world cup he carried an awful team to the world cup final. Best player of the world cup, nobody has ever done better at a world cup.

Yep he is just come back died in the second half and then Madrid died too. Kroos was left playing midfield by himself. Ancelotti deserves some of the blame, but only so much he could do. Should have taken off Bale and Modric, but politics will always rule at Madrid. Thought Madrid would at...

Fair enough, but Schweinsteiger has a fantastic passing range himself and is the better player defensively. Modric is more creative, but Schweinsteiger is one of the best tacklers in the world. Either way both would make my world 11. EDIT It's true Schweinsteiger misses half the season, which...

Schweinsteiger better for me. Those two have been the best for a while though ever since Xavi's decline. Give Kroos time though he is only 25 compared to Schweinsteiger 30 and Modric 29.

Yeh he should have. The game is too big not take any chance. It could decide the league, but with Ancelotti even if Madrid win probably won't.

Madrid have been the better team. Ronaldo reminding people exactly why he is the world player, but Modric best player on the pitch. Pique also showing why he was won so many trophies. People like Souness think Barca/Bayern/Madrid play fools at the back. Madrid should have scored. This match also...

Wanted to see if Madrid were up for it before commenting. Barca have the better form and home advantage, but Madrid have the better team for me. Don't think Madrid will lose.

Yes Gladbach did and Favre is a great manager, but he is not alone. Schalke, Leverkusen, Dortmund and Wolfsburg have all done a similar job this season.

Yeh don't see the comparison. Modric is a complete central midfielder. He has a very bad attitude and not sure he will ever be world class. Better talents than him in Germany.

Ronaldo. Bale maybe younger, but they are leagues apart. Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world. Even if he has just two years left signing him would guarantee City the next two league titles. Signing Bale wouldn't and wouldn't help that much should you come across teams like...
