Gervinho got the shot away. Wouldn't have done that here.

We played every bit as well. We took the piss regularly.
Guardiola's Barcelona and Bayern's teamwork is on another level. We were every bit as good at creating incredible attacks, though. The pressure the other two can place on the opponent is just so relentless. We were more like Real Madrid of today against the top teams.
Super finish.
Ridiculous.
Matched the 7-1 result now.
Had to be two set pieces.
Goals galore today, Shakthar winning 7-0, Chelsea 6-0, Schalke 4-3.
Very suprised Bilbao is doing so poorly in UCL.
Why don't our wide players get in behind the way Robben/Ribery/Muller/Shaqiri do?
Tactics, Training, Game Plan.
Never get why we don't do that more often this season especially with Alexis and Ox. Tell them not to always come deep for possession and simply wait for through balls will do. Liverpool did that perfectly last year.
3 more years, maybe less. If we play it right we could be doing all this good stuff too.
Are you being sarcastic again Eboue fan?

If we'd gotten rid of the chump 3 years ago we'd be enjoying all the good stuff now! :opti:

I've decided to give up complaining. I wont be surprised to see Walcott covering the LB in the cursed "Arshavin" position.

...because none of our players are good enough to? Wenger's dream would be for us to dominate like Barcelona or Bayern Munich, but the simple fact is none of our players are good enough to start for either team. We couldn't contribute a starter for any of the top 3/4 European teams. That is exactly why we cannot dominate the opposition like them.
Kos would start for all of those teams, Özil was a starter for Real Madrid for 3 years, and Alexis was Barcelona's best player last season. I'd wager that Walcott would play quite a bit for most teams as well, and so would Ramsey.
I don't think Ramsey would.
Ronaldo just scored a lovely goal
Great goal by Ronaldo. Nice ball by James to set him up.
2-0 Benzema
Balotelli swapped shirts with Pepe at HT and he's subbed off for the start of the second half. Rodgers was downplaying the Balotelli signing a couple of weeks ago and it looks like he's had enough already. Lallana in his place, I think Sterling is playing at no.9.
