QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Mar 6 2011, 08:16 PM) Han, you assume Merkel is not ready for a game like this, that's a huge difference with him being ready or not. You can't know that. Actually, no one knows until given the chance. And I would give him the chance, if the other option is Seedorf. Our worst player in second half of this season. My eyes got hurt reading you saying Seedorf did better than Merkel for us. OMG, we will never agree. Looking at all the games each player played this season, then yes, Seedorf did better, providing some vital assists along the way, while Merkel had one really good game in the Coppa against Samp while all the others were pretty much meh, including one heart attack inducing showing against Catania. I'm not assuming, I'm theorising based on what I saw from Merkel this season, and I'm sure that he's just not ready, or even good enough to play in a big CL game like this one, where it's either all or nothing

A big nononono for me.

Right now, everyone says they don't care about CL. Well getting dumped out by Tottenham f@ckin hurts!!! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Not going out to some newbie team without any CL heritage. NOT DOING THAT!! If we get Chelsea or United or Barca...in the next round, by all means play the primavera and get thrashed, I couldn't care less.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Mar 7 2011, 12:26 AM) Latest reports from Controcampo say we'll play with Seedorf-Flamini-Merkel in midfield. Way too attacking. We'd seriously get caught out with that. Flamini is not a holding midfielder, he pushes up way too much to be our only defensive presence there. Merkel would get eaten alive, aspecially without any real protection from a DM Our midfield should be Flamini and 2 from Seedorf/Strasser/Janku No Merkel!!!! Oh and now I hear that Bale is fit, imagine Merkel up against him... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

But then what you said about Merkel, applies also for Seedorf. I don't get why you are not worried about Seedorf. IMO it should be 1 of Seedorf and Merkel, and 2 more defensive minded players like Flamini and Strasser.
