I thought it was clear that teams are finding ways to beat tiki taka, and beating them well. Bayern last season and Brazil at the Confederations Cup last summer are great examples. I think Guardiola is making a mistake by thinking that he can just use the same system all the time and carry on winning. I'm not saying he should use the exact system that Bayern used last season, but use it as a starting point and just tinker with it a bit. I guess next season will be better for them though as they'll be more familiar with the system and have Lewendowski up front.

He doesn't know who you are, but is still able to mentally diagnose you, apparently.

Fuck you bluemoon, you're a retard and I have no idea who the fuck are you.

Which doesn't mean that a) its good to watch or b) it has a future.

2 seasons in a row now a team attempting to play it has been torn to shreds in a Champions League semi final and basically every team in world football knows that you can sit off a team, give them no space in behind whatsoever and then hit them on the break with pace.

I think its done at the top level.

Or it could be Ronaldo vs Mourinho in the season that we lost the great Eusebio.

I don't get why Guardiola had to try and change the style of play for Bayern. Their style of play last season was good enough to thump the Barcelona tiki taka crap 7-0, but he still thinks the tiki taka is better. Makes no sense.

What's next for Pep? With 0 goals in 180 minutes using his way of football against the first real test of the season. Surely this must be a wake up call that he has to adapt or die.

I remember Zoli being vehemently against Modric. Absolutely class player these days.

Go on then, I couldn't care less what people think about him to be honest. Lamela's spent most of the season injured, making just 9 appearences, so i'm waiting until next season before I judge him.

Kompany's living off City's last title run. Been poor in last two seasons, whether that's due to generally not being that great or constant switching of defensive partners I don't know.

I personally wouldn't have had Kompany in there tbh. Whilst still a fantastic defender he has made quite a few mistakes this season in the league and been quite inconsistent and not up to his usual standard. But at the same time im not sure who else to put there, its not really been a great season for defending. Maybe one of Davies, Koscielny or Terry? I dunno. Also think Azpilicueta has flown under the radar at LB but I agree with Shaw. And i would've given GK to Marshall who has made some ridiculous saves this season. De Gea has established himself really well and Cech and Begovic has also been as consistent as ever but I like an underdog.

Souness is a weird character

Maybe a hyperbole, but still, we've had David Moyes this season. You must understand our pain. (I know you had Mark Hughes, but y'know)

This.

So enjoyable that match, the atmosphere was far better, players looked happy, just what we needed. I know people will say 'it was only Norwich' but we've suffered so much this season, it was so nice seeing the old United again.

Anybody think that Lambert will get the sack this summer? there seems to be growing unrest amongst supporters groups.

Touchy. And when youre constantly bringing up how we have luck on our side then I will assume youre blaming your lack of luck

Shut up Carroll.

If you want to blame you not winning the league on luck etc then be my guest

Naah it evens itself out. Mistakes and luck is part of the game

How does Liverpool doing lots of attacking, for example, stop the referee incorrectly not sending off Suarez or not giving 2 penalties alone in the City game?

Liverpool have had a very, very good season and probably play the most watchable football in the league but to deny that a lot hasn't gone their way, whether it be in terms of referees decisions, complete lack of injuries to key players or even the coincidental non existence of any real top quality teams to challenge them just doesn't stack up.

They can still be deserving champions whilst acknowledging that virtually everything that could have gone their way this season has done, with possibly the exception of their disappointing summer transfer window.

Bigger clubs get more decisions from referees. Man City have had more than their fare share this season.

The Guardian say United have won the race to sign Luke Shaw, for £30M.

He's good, but £30M good? Then again, Southampton aren't exactly going to sell him cheaply.

Imagine Keegan

Could go to Atletico but I doubt he's got a good enough game to actually fit in there.

How big a problem do you people think it is that Rooney is bigger than the manager?

By calling the ref biased?

Apparently is the key word there. I would hope we don't go for him, he turned AC Milan from title challengers to bottom a half team.

Mannone's error got us the draw. Nasri missed a sitter from 6 yards a minute later


Nasri has a worse face than Dzeko so it's his fault

Cardiff City: Crystal Palace result should not stand, says Welsh club

Nasri's missed sitter last night cost us the league. And he'd be doing so well this season
