Yep. I have built the team around Tevez and Pogba. Both are really quick and powerful so it works most of the time. Coman is surprisingly good too. Was upset when Giovinco moved Sad

Giovinco

I prob scored over 100 goals with that S.O.B on seasons last Year.

should have stayed with us tbh, he might've gotten quite some minutes now.

we signed him for 4-2-3-1.
At the beginning we had to play with Shaqiri and Podolski as wingers.
Then that 4-2-3-1 wasn't effective unlike of 4-3-1-2 and so he was deployed as trequartista.
But a day Mancini played with Heranes trequartista in place of Shaqiri and Hernanes played very well ... soi Mancini put his faith in him and he had other very good performances.

Even today he is our MOTM, definitely.

Always said Hernanes CAM is surely better than midfielder ( he is meh at midfield, while he is capable to make the difference as trequartista ... this is his role ... Shaqiri is more adapted as winger probably .. but anyway just a player can play as CAM.

The Swiss isn't even fit tbf . I don't think we can continue to bench him , if the objective is to build a team with him I think he will begin to have space next year, the summer physical training under Mancini and the adaption should help him too

by Hapless_Hans Sun May 10, 2015 8:42 pm

really wonder how devastating it must be for countless hopeful youth players when they realize on the screen in front of them how low their ceiling actually is.

Might as well give up and go to college when your potential is not a big enough number hmm

by Tomwin Lannister Sun May 10, 2015 8:43 pm

Why are we not beating Lazio Robes ffs?

And more importantly, why are we not beating Inter ffs?

by Robespierre Sun May 10, 2015 8:44 pm

It has been so amusing to rejoice for both the goals Molenation

Yet equally painful to concede twice in a 1-1 draw.

I do a hybrid Serie A/Bundesliga team. If I'm not mistaken, Farfan is the 2nd best BuLi Right Midfield player. Actually my weakest link is Gomez (although he is on my reserve team), given he is kinda slow, BUT I'm saving to buy Lewa now.

Lazio

Icardi

by Hapless_Hans Sun May 10, 2015 9:13 pm

lmao didn't realize Lazio were already playing with 10 men

by Robespierre Sun May 10, 2015 9:43 pm

GET INNNNNNNNN

Hernanes :bow:

Finally we is showing to cost that price

by S Sun May 10, 2015 9:43 pm

Last two matchdays are going to be interesting.

Rome derby on the penultimate matchday and Napoli host Lazio on the final matchday.

With the way each of the three teams are playing,i think who chokes the least will decide the outcome of the remaining two CL spots.

by Robespierre Sun May 10, 2015 9:43 pm

FFS we have lost 2nd place so far now I am tired to miss always these sliding doors Mad

:

by Robespierre Sun May 10, 2015 9:44 pm

It is incredible the fight for CL place anyway

It is a fight for who is more bottler

Roma loses yesterday against this mediocre Milan , same thing for Lazio but the price goes to Napoli... tie against Parma lol

just thinking to Roma ... they're struggling since November yet they are still 2nd lol Shocked

This was the good year to come back in CL ffs :facepalm:

by Tomwin Lannister Sun May 10, 2015 9:46 pm

No wonder we can have 35 injuries and still coast Serie A. The 'chasing' pack can never win 2 games in a row after December rofl

Pathetic.

by S Sun May 10, 2015 9:50 pm

CL final in San Siro next year and neither of the Milano sides will be playing in the competition let alone getting there Laughing

Not that i'm unhappy tho,but just putting it out there :coffee:

Roberto Donadoni said Gonzalo Higuain and Napoli director Riccardo Bigon used “disgusting phrases” after a 2-2 draw with Parma.

There was real tension after the final whistle at the Stadio Tardini, as Higuain had to be dragged away as he exchanged insults with goalkeeper Antonio Mirante.

It’s also reported that in the tunnel director Bigon got into a row with Parma player Daniele Galloppa.

“I was there and I heard what was said after the game,” Donadoni told Sport Mediaset.

“Having people tell us we should lose just because we’re bankrupt and already relegated is disgusting and shameful.

“It wasn’t just Higuain, but a few others said the same on the field during the game. When you hear something like that from a director, though, it’s a real tragedy.

“This is all incredible. I don’t want to name names, as if I have something to say to these people, I’ll do it to their faces.”

Despite being doomed to Serie B – or being wiped off the football map – Parma have put together some great results in recent weeks, beating leaders Juventus and holding Napoli.

“What does the future hold? Only God knows,” continued Donadoni. “For now the squad has taken a 75 per cent cut in the money owed.

“We fought hard and held our heads against Napoli. That’s the important thing.”

Napoli released a statement. “All the protests at the final whistle were exclusively based on the continual time-wasting. None of these protests had anything to do with Parma’s effort, which obviously was impeccable.”

So low from Napoli..

Higuain tho Laughing

We made that scudetto easy for you by destroying Roma in October tbh.
I guess a 'thank you' would be in order.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun May 10, 2015 10:05 pm

Yeah that Bayern loss really destroyed them Laughing

have to question the mental fortitude of the team to not being able to recover though.

That just shows the mental strength of the team more than anything.If you cant recover after being humbled by a top side,you have no business competing for the league.
