AVB needs to wear this one though. No adaptation, his players had no confidence.

 

They don't really have a reason to have confidence. They can't score at all this year and when you fall behind after 15 seconds against a team that annihilates everyone at home, you're screwed.

 

Also, Aguero has scored more EPL goals this year than Tottenham has.

 

Probably shouldn't have sold their two good goalscorers and tried to replace them with assorted parts with no PL experience.

 

Its not that they aren't good players, but the Prem is really not meant for some guys.

Portland ain't ready. RSL has just been here too many times to give it away. Beckerman is bossing this.

I dunno...RSL has been a bit fortunate. Valeri should have put one of the two point-blank shots away, and they've had two called back.

 

Still...Portland look a bit....naive, I suppose, would be the word. I expected them to come out guns blazing, and it really hasn't happened. RSL is probably too organized and experienced to allow a 3 goal collapse in a half.

Kah is such a joke. Biggest fake tough guy I've ever seen in this league. Shut up and play.

Another sitter missed. Get that [expletive] on frame.

Dear Crying Timbers Fan,

They just showed you on tv. I hope everyone you know saw it and they all disown you.

That guy is such a douche. Agreed 1000%.

 

I never saw PTFC getting shut out tonight. Well done Kreis & Co.

Timbers need another year of development with Porter, I think. Completely exceeded my expectations. They'll be pretty fantastic next season.

Well yeah, but you don't really know who is going to work out and who isn't. I've always thought they'd be fine and would get better as the season went along - and they still might - I'm just starting to doubt it right now. This weekend home to ManU will be vital.

 

And as for selling the players, when someone is willing to spend as much as Real was on Bale and the player wants to leave, you don't really have an option.

Agreed, but you have to then reinvest that money smartly. That doesn't look like its happened.

 

It probably also doesn't help that they still have the same collection of me-first jagoffs they've had for awhile. They need to clear some of that out as well.

Who all are you referring to? I know you don't like Defoe so I assume he's one of them. I still can't believe Adebayor is still on the team (I think the City game was his first appearance).

Defoe and Adebayor certainly. Has Kyle Walker learned how to cross the ball yet? Is Andros Townsend still shooting on sight from 40 yards on in? Is Sandro still thinking he's better than he is?

 

Watching them play last season was obnoxious at times.

Julian Green on the bench for Bayern today.

Julian Green on the bench for Bayern today.

 

And he just got in the game.

[USSoccer]

He was on for 10 minutes and had one touch of the ball.

 

I'd bet money he plays for Germany.

[wolf stansson]

I'll agree because I think it's correct and because the reverse-jinx has worked great so far.

[shnsajax]

Just read the Defoe to Toronto was in the works.

[wolf stansson]

And Gilardino apparently.

Tim Howard.

Happy to see Tottenham actually score today but that was a draw that felt like a loss.

[shnsajax]

Any ideas on where Clint will go for loan? Swansea seems like a good fit as does Everton.
