Stoke trying to become a more offensive team. They need to dump some of those old players they got playing.

Bojan Shaqiri and Affelay stoke should be fun to watch. And Diof and i like how Arnautavic plays when he is motivated.

What is the background on this? Eden went down for a bit and she decided to come out there to check on him?

From what I remember while watching, Hazard was clipped in stoppage time and a free kick was awarded - he was taking a little time to get up but he did not signal for the medical staff. No one did. But Eva and her guy came running.

When I was watching I myself thought "what are they doing, it's stoppage time, they have a free kick to take and they're clearly trying to score, let them take it". - But I get it, the docs were doing their job and shouldn't be blamed but if I was the coach I would have been a little ticked off too, especially after that terrible free kick by Matic that gave Swansea a clear break with only 8 players on the field.

I can understand the frustration but Mou was douchéy for blasting them publicly, He took it too far. That obviously could have been managed behind closed doors.

So with Neymar out a few weeks with the mumps this was supposed to be Pedro's game to start but he's on the bench...

rafinha impressed during the US tour ...wasnt there word that Pedro would be signing with ManU by Wednesday 

 

[rolaholic]

Mostly rumors before but it's looking like he really will be signing this week . People were saying that he'd start for the last time but apparently he specifically told the club he didn't want to play

 

[jape]

pedro is not playing = he is getting transferred soon.

rumors are that man city have joined in on the bidding for pedro 

and if i must say...going to man city would be the better choice for him.  

damnnit man where is psk?

visca barca.

 

[AZwildcats]

Mou completely out of line with his criticism of Eva

 

[rolaholic]

The City rumors I don't buy one bit with them going hard for KDB right now. Probably just leaks from Barca to get Woody to speed up the transfer. How would they be a better choice for him though? They'd be stacked with forwards if KDB signs and he'd be right back in the same position as he's been at Barca,on the bench

 

[DeadsetAce]

Mou completely out of line with his criticism of Eva

just got caught up on this and saw she's been sort of moved to a new role or whatever. pretty crazy story

They'd be stacked with attackers if KDB signs and he'd be right back in the same position as Barca,on the bench

the style they play he would fit in easier.  and the management is all ex barca.

man u is so new and LVG is all over the place. he would still be fighting for a position at man u and man u has more pressure on them because of all the money they spent. 

they are still trying to figure out  style of play.  

 the rumors of pep going to man city next summer would also be a better fit for pedro.

pedro could have easily fit in that spot jesus navas occupied.  he would slot right in.

imo pedro on the wing > kdb on the wing. 

i like kdb in the middle better than when he plays wide.

i just see the problems ADM had there and i could see the same thing happening to pedro

Nobody watching the Eredivisie? [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128584[/emoji]

PSV started their title defense against ADO Den Haag today.

Den Haag's keeper just tied it with a beautiful backheel flick off a free kick in stoppage time of the 90th minute.


That goal is gonna go viral in just a matter of time.

 

[User 37837]

Pretty sure the Pedro to United deal has been wrapped up for a while. Barca will let him leave after the Supercup.

The main reason he's been sold on coming to OT is because LVG has assured him of a starting spot in an attacking trio of him,Wazza and Memphis. I doubt he'd leave his childhood club if he wasn't sure it would be the best move for his career and he'd only have to fight for his spot if he bottled it ala ADM . His personality hasn't showed that during his time at Barca so I feel like he should fit in pretty well. The sizable Spanish contingent should also make him feel at ease. Wouldn't Citeh need to sell now if they'd want to get him AND KDB?

[jape]

was he really guaranteed a spot? 

man u is a great decision also i really just dont trust LVG...especially how he has treated valdes. 

 

[rolaholic]

That's what's been reported in Spain for the last little while. Doubt he'd leave if he didn't have assurances on his pt seeing as that's the main reason he want's to move.

Valdes himself just admitted this week that he doesn't always listen to his manager and said that he's a very difficult person to work with,I'd say the blame should be shared in that case

 

[jape]

haha i guess we will see soon.

rakitic is going flourish all season dude is top mf in the world in his current form

 

[rolaholic]

That keeper backheel volley though :x :x :x
