I didn't think he really broke it when it happened live. He'll be in my prayers when I go to bed tonight.

So a rather bloody injury is hilarious regardless of whether the player has a broken bone or not?

Understood.

I said he will be in my prayers. Let us not concentrate too much on other side stuff.

Those English commentators are so melting over Ibra

What do you mean lmao Verratti is blaugrana through and through

what a player :bow:

by halamadrid2 Thu Jul 30, 2015 3:00 am

Enrique would play Rakitic over him. At Madrid he has a fair fight with 29 yo injury prone Modric. Come home son Sad

We played decent in the first 15 minutes, but then came some errors in our defense and PSG took advantage of them.

In my opinion Blind played very well, Darmian also with a solid performance, Lucas didn't move near him.

But Jones was awful, Shaw had difficulties too.

I am impressed by Verratti; even though I watched him a lot in the past, I am still impressed by him and his style of play.

What a hit from Harry Kane against the MLS All Stars.....fantastic strike.

by RedOranje Thu Jul 30, 2015 3:24 am

Both CBs were completely at sea there for that goal. Not sure what Besler and Gonzalez were doing. Plus that backpass was diabolical.

by Gil Thu Jul 30, 2015 3:39 am

Pretty remarkable how average Depay is. Sterling is by miles the better talent.

by sportsczy Thu Jul 30, 2015 3:39 am

Dream on. PSG sell exactly nobody if they don't want to... as Motta is finding out right now although they may let him go because they have cover and he's on his last contract year.

by halamadrid2 Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:03 am

meh second half. Lots of good pressing by both sides but beyond that very poor

Don't know who is more lethargic between Rooney and Benzema

by Gil Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:08 am

Di Maria's going to be the odd one out in this PSG team. They're an ultra possession side yet they're after a counter attacking player bizarre. A player like Messi/Hazard is what this team needs.

PSG were practicing protecting the score as in a real game since they have their supercup this Saturday... so it was the perfect second half for them. If Ibra has talen the game seriously, they would have scored in the second half too lol... wtf was that he attempted with an open net.

Di Maria is perfect for PSG tbh. They have Moura and Di Maria bombing in counter attacks since they alternate between possession and counter styles... sometimes switch within the same game. It also dissuades teams from trying to press them too high with those blazers on the corners.

by halamadrid2 Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:45 am

Lucas was very poor today and I am assuming everytime he gets closed down he will be poor. How do you see them using ADM?? CM or attack??

PSG are further ahead than United in quality right now (might change if they get rid of LVG) which is good for ADM

Also Cavani is god awful both as a striker and as a wide forward I dont know why Blanc keeps pampering this crap footballer. They should get Benzema as a direct Ibra replacement if he leaves

by sportsczy Thu Jul 30, 2015 4:51 am

Cavani's "technique" makes me laugh tbh... i never realized it was this bad. He's only useful in and around the box. It's a problem with Ibra there as well. Once Ibra goes, they'll get a 10/AM and push Cavani where he's most comfortable. It's fine.

Moura is hit or miss... very inconsistent. Against Chelsea, he was a beast. Against Man U, he was a kitten. Just how things go with him.

Benz doesn't want to go to France. If he leaves, he'll go to EPL for sure. He feels that he's already conquered Ligue 1 (which he did) and wants another challenge. Of course, a ridiculous paycheck might make him pause... but i doubt it.

As far as ADM... i'm hoping they switch to a 442 when he comes and put him as the wide midfielder left. Imagine him and Matuidi with the fullback out there. It would be lethal. That would also allow Cavani to go more central.

you must be fun at parties, accidents happen and sometimes those accidents can be funny.. why do you think the youtube channel failarmy is so highly viewed (one of the highest views)

i wouldn't laugh if masip did it purposely but its more of a chuckle of what a fail it was.
doubt either player cares and chelsea players probably had a laugh about it in the locker room.

Wouldn't the midfield be too light then with Matuidi and Veratti in the center. I think either Veratti or Matuidi lose their place to Stambouli if Blanc switches to a 442

by RED Thu Jul 30, 2015 9:51 am

We were beaten by a better team, no shame in that.

We're still a way behind where we want to be. Teams who sit deep and allow us possession basically have it too easy. We need that special player who can unlock defences, something that our supposed talisman Rooney can no longer do.

Maybe if we can play Memphis out wide in his natural position, we can see what he can do. He had an impressive pre-season.

Darmian was by far our MOTM.

by Kaladin Thu Jul 30, 2015 11:46 am

We are the Valencia of right backs (granted Darmian was a CB for us)

by Kaladin Thu Jul 30, 2015 12:11 pm

Lopez; De Sciglio, Alex, Ely, Antonelli; Poli, De Jong, Bertolacci; Suso; Niang, Cerci.
