We may not be the best defence but it's a far cry from our defensive situation a number of years ago :notbad:

by VivaStPauli Tue Mar 20, 2012 2:11 pm

I guess Juve just took the lead, BMG and Bayern still impressive, though. And Dortmund, of course, but at least their defence is even good on paper.

So boring to watch , . they don't score so this defensive record is pretty meh . always park the bus and aim a goal from set-piece or ...

by VivaStPauli Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:30 pm

Doesn't change the facts, though.

That being said:

Juve :bow:

by rwo power Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:31 pm

Looks like I don't miss much when I don't have much opportunity to watch Ligue 1 then. BTW, I watched Juve vs Inter today - Gigi Buffon nicely kept his clean sheet today to top the best defense list for now.

by rwo power Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:49 pm

Dortmund totally ruined their defensive record today. From 17 goals against in 27 matches to 21 goals against in 28 matches. *headdesk*

Let's see what the other teams will do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow....

Boateng-Badstuber.

I would like to say if there is any defensive combo better than this guys, then it's Juventus Defense.

by VivaStPauli Sat Mar 31, 2012 8:47 am

You're unbelievable.

I know right, but my opinion on Badstuber has really change, since he started playing alongside Boateng.

there's nothing unbelievable for people to change their opinions, it happens all the time.

People re-evaluate all the time.

The interesting thing is that all of the listed teams (except for ManUtd) have domestic GKs, among them the Nr.1 keepers of Italy, Germany, Spain and England. Only Lloris doesn't show up there.
