QUOTE (acid911 @ Jul 26 2011, 07:35 PM)  Agreed. Deserved 1-1. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's been all Bayern, pretty much all half. We are on the pitch to absorb the pressure it seems. No link between defense, midfield and attack. This is what I fear could be the story in the league (unless the players step it up). Get a lucky lead with some Ibra magic, and then self destruct. If not the league, then the CL at least. Hopefully the subs do come up in the 2nd half and put up a better show. They better. It was starting to look like the beginning of last season again, whenever we have the ball they launch it at Ibra hoping for something. The rest was just terrible. I mean I know they're still getting back into the swing of things but this is just horrible. Rino nearly assisted Muller there on the last play FFS (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Even if we're still very early into the pre-season, we don't have much time due to the Super Cup. So the players need to step it up, while I cannot fathom how Allegri would ever say that the squad is good as is. We seriously need someone in there who can keep the ball moving and control the tempo.

QUOTE (acid911 @ Jul 26 2011, 07:42 PM)  Agreed, Han. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Though it was Boateng with the reverse through ball assist to Muller on the last play, LOL. Really? It looked like Rino to me, I'll have to watch that again, because it wasn't a backheel, it was a slide tackle that sent the ball into Muller's path

We're as good as a month behind Bayern in terms of pre-season, I really wouldn't be worried about this. Though I'd be worried about Cassano, he looks terrible, too slow, too weak, and can't finish. Get rid of him.

Cassano is as sluggish as the rest imo.
No matter how early into pre-season we are compared to Bayern, the general tactics are ridiculous, all I'm seeing is the defenders pinging the ball to Zlatan, and the midfield running around like headless chickens.
Also, like I said, we need to get into shape as quickly as possible, so playing like this is surely not helping

The guy is purely awful, unless he gets himself into fitness we have a pointless strain on wages. I gave him the benefit of the doubt at the end of last season, but it seems the off season has made him worse.

This. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I know we are behind on fitness and practice levels, but this is what worries me. QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jul 27 2011, 12:48 AM)  Not sure what's worse, the way the Americans pronouce Milan or Cassano's performance! Both. But both combined are not as bad as two American commentators commenting on the play. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) What is it, NBA? WWE, maybe? Pure torture for the ears.
