The Barcelona v Real Madrid thread

[danperkins]

You're a total hypocrite

His tactics didn't work. They lost. You can continue your Mourinho-esque bleating about the red card if it makes you feel better about the defeat.

Holy jaysus, his tactics """"were"""" working before they got a man sent off, can you honestly not see this?

The last 20-25 mins with Madrids bench at 0-0, that was obviosuly the plan, nullify and frustrate, counter and use his superior squad towards end of game. When Ozil and benzema came on in the Copa Del Rey they made a big difference. 10 men against Barcelona is a nightmare most of the time. Sending off killed it and lost them the tie.

your either deluded or just being selective, either way it's boring and repetitive

jaysus it was a different team for christ sake, Inter and Real have completely different personnel and ways of playing. Before the sending off they were cruising, dull and boring but very effective and witha far superior bench, hence my point about people daring to criticse his tactics "as they were working"!

Mate what are u talking about i couldn't give a **** if he got it wrong i'm not his apologist, just bit more balanced about this particular topic than several others with blatantly biased opinions on Barca and clouded judgement as they hate the man already. Seems yez are waiting in the wings to jump, wee bit sad IMO.

And lost an argument? Are u honestly for real, what age are you 10? another cringeworthy comment to add to the list.

You're right with your first comment, Dan. They do have different player. For example Madrid have players who are far better suited to quick attacking football making why Jose chose to come out (at home), park the bus (again, not away but at home) and churn out some half arsed, ****house kick-a-thon an even more bizarre choice.

He ****ed the dog last night. Massively and no attempt of crying after the event can change that.

Just trying to lighten the mood, is this a life or death scenario or have i missed something?

Although i am aware my banter is automatically the work of a WUM, sincere apologies.

FAO Shaggy, you hitting Barcelona for the victory parade la?

You don't get it do you.

When you play the way they do - happily ceding possession so they can run around, break up play, kick them, get in their faces - you run the risk of picking up cards, yellow and red. Occupational hazard.

So their plan didn't work at all.

Do you think it's a coincidence they keep having men sent off against Barca? Or have you actually fallen for Mourinho's pitiful conspiracy theory? Every single red card was justified (Ramos, di Maria, Albiol) until last night's, which was debatable and borderline.

Tactics didn't work, they lost, they're likely going out and no amount of bleating on yours or Mourinho's part makes a jot of difference.

[danperkins]

Different team or not, you said "he couldnt do anything else". Complete and utter garbage, if Arsenal can attack them and win then Real Madrid sure as hell can.

"I trust Mourinho knows his tactics more than anyone on this site, or any site for that matter". If thats the logic then we can never, ever criticise anything in football, afterall Roy Hodgson, Rafa, Kenny etc all know far more than us eh? And you have the cheek to ask am I ten when you're on to the my dads bigger than yours stuff!

You sound a bit rattled. No wonder you got chewed up, spat out and banned on TLW.

Its a completely diffent team and completely different personnel, kinda makes a bit of a difference. And Madrid beat Barca last week by doing exactly those tactics. And those tactics were working just fine before the sending off.


FFS So i'm rattled and also i got banned from TLW, wanna get your facts straight genius that was Koptalk as i got robbed of money , i left TLW because it was an unmoderated warzone of abuse and children much like yourself making silly comments, prob best to get the info straight before making comments lke that smart arse, well done genius

Thus ends our communication on this here site, or any other site for that matter. Your awesome well done!

[Rudo]

How can you say the tactics didn't work when it was 0-0 before Pepe got sent off?

And Messi never got a kick before the sending off...Barca weren't creating anything clear cut...think maybe Pedro had a chance but that was about it.

The sending off was the decisive factor in Barca running out 2nil winners.

We'll never know mate, they were cruising and stifling the game before the sending off so we'll never know as the tie is well dead.

the problem with your reasoning danperkins is that the game lasts 90 mins so doing well for part of the game and losing still equals a loss.

playing the tactics madrid did (ignoring the ferocious atmosphere maureen likes to generate for these games) means you will pick up cards. So its a downside of that tactic just like every other tactic has plusses and minuses.

if you then though in the atmosphere that he likes to generate in these games then it is even more likely that a player will go off (from either side).

[Lecter]

Just seen the Mourinho post-match press conference, and it's quite funny really, he's bleating on like a spoilt brat, i couldnt help but snigger.

Its just like when he bleated about Garcia's goal

Hes always been the same

So, what you're saying is Real Madrid dont have enough good players and Jose Mourinho isnt a good enough manager to get them a victory at home to Barca? He had no choice but to play for a 0-0? He couldnt do what Arsenal did weeks before and beat the untouchable, perfect Barcelona? Makes you wonder why they bothered going through v Spurs, should have just left the impossible to Spurs and saved the humiliation.

I wonder why you got abused on TLW! Probably because they're not as tolerant of *ahem* people like yourself as this site is.

the fact they lost and the tactics contributed to them going a man down. The kicking element of the RM gameplan and then JM tactics of whipping the atmosphere for these types of game

Like banging your head against a brick wall mate

again not JMs fault is it

every big game lost is not his fault, its an easy enough pattern to see.

the more important point is that he has to point it out again and again its not his fault. Other managers lose and make excuses but they are not still going on about them a couple of years later

He's obviously got a microscopic penis
