Guest NGOG Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Glad to see Pep's putrid style of football being demolished. We're moving towards the post tiki-taka era of the game, thank god!Oh, come on NGOG, I always liked you. Why did you have to say this?I hope a couple of teams keep on playing a wonderful football instead of running around like headless chickens. Tiki taka is not finished, thank God. Just my opinion, man. As a fan, I prefer watching an unregimented style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiki taka seems to be headless chickens as well, so many times Barca and Bayern just pass the ball around looking for that perfect pass or goal rather than taking a shot or attacking with fluency and pace.

Thin White Duke Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) But when they find that PERFECT pass or goal, it makes football magnificent. That's the thing. For me, it's worth it. Edited April 29, 2014 by Thin White Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 And when they don't it is frustrating, boring and not good to watch.Of course there are pros and cons to every style of football though and they can all be great to watch or frustrating in equal measure.

Ryan95 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Bayern never looked like scoring all night. They are in desperate need of a target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin White Duke Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) @Totts I still disagree. They still play beautiful. I blame it on the rival team playing all defensive because they know theya re not at the same level. Well, after what happened tonight I just can say... GO ATLETICO!

Ryan95 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 They need him. That helps as well weakening their main opposition in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid played attractive attacking football and Bayern never once looked like scoring tonight. Didn't play defensive at all At the end of the day football is about winning, not about possession or looking good. It made me laugh last year when Xavi claimed that the 7-0 scoreline was unfair as Barca had more passes and more possession.All that matters is that when the final whistle is blown you have scored more than the other team.

It's not as Barcelona had possession and passes but zero titles. They won almost everything. But the 7-0 was very fair and I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Glad Madrid won, it's a victory against boring football.Messi might be the greatest of our generation, but I can't stand watching Barca matches unless it's against Madrid. Madrid whatever you think of them, regardless of the manager. At least over the past 12 + years have never been dull to watch. Obviously the Barca comment applies to Pep's Munich as well.

Guest Len B'stard Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Real Madrid plays tiki taka on my book. Clumsy tiki taka. It's not as if they were English, you know. Then your book needs to have each published copy of it rounded up and made a bonfire out of, that weren't tiki taka that was muscle football, like the kind Bayern used to play...with a dash a Mourinho for good measure.

moreblack Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Atleti and Chelsea are playing for silver today, unless one of them proves otherwise in Lisbon.That's if Madrid aren't peaking too early like what happened to Dortmund last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Come on boys, lets have some predictions, Chelsea or Athletico? My gut says athletico, for some silly reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Part of me thinks penalties, but I also think maybe Atleti can grab an away goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I don't think they can keep that kinda attack out over two legs so Athletico are gonna score...and it'll be an away goal, which'll require at least two from Chelsea and they weren't exactly very penetrative in the last game so...i dunno, is two too tall an order? Certainly wasn't against Liverpool. Fascinating match up really I sound like Adrian Chiles Edited April 30, 2014 by sugaraylen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
