The EPL is losing flair. Men, last week, I watched the Real Madrid vs Malaga game instead of Real Madrid because of the standard of EPL game.

When will an EPL team play with flair like the video below.

Ignore my last post, I was referring to the other who siding me thinking it was you. To the topic: EPL had its style of play that makes it more attractive and market thriving. You are almost one among many who considered the EPL less appealing. Take a stats of the number of people that watch the EPL and you will be amaze of the kind of follower ship it attract. How can an event that lacks flair be this glued to by many?

The league is hitting up. After the emergence of Atletico Madrid under Simeone, Villarreal and Celta Vigo are playing some amazing football this season. Last weekend Villarreal beat Atletico Madrid to remain unbeaten this season. Celta Vigo is also unbeaten this season and thrashed Barcelona 4-1.

You obviously know no Jack about football. At a point, Madrid only stopped at the quarters for three consecutive seasons until current Chelsea coach change that, then Liverpool, Man u and Chelsea had no issue getting to the semis or even finals. Go back memory lane, and count the number of times Chelsea got to the semi finals when Mourinho was initially in charge. Then, only Chelsea had the antidote to Barcelona. So don't come here to make pointless comparism. It's apparent that the rigidity and intensity of the EPL is the major challenge to their performance in the UCL, where smaller teams
are becoming a hard nut to crack, a fun. entirely missing from the laliga.

TheGoodJoe:



The reason why people love watching the EPL is because the EPL has one thing. DRAMA. Excitement that leaves you glued to your TV. Talking points. For instance look at Man City vs Tottenham game. You get to see a clear offside pass come to Kyle Walker and the referee lets it stand. Then Harry Kane dive to win a free kick that lead to goals.

I noticed in the La Liga, the referees are strict and do not allow defending players hamper creative play. In the EPL harsh tackles and fouls are allowed. Star players injure and are not allowed to develop their skills.

Look at the Arsenal Vs Chelsea game. Every sports news channel, top blog and magazine talked about the Costa, Kosceilny, Gabriel incident.

The pace and the long shots because of teams defending deep makes it exciting.

But, it is killing the game and the teams lack in skill and technical play.

Do you know three offside goals was scored in that match?

OK, that's good to hear. It's always good to see the "big two" shake a bit.

You are not wrong at all. But while EPL teams seems to be losing it at UCL levels, no league can rival the organization, the revenue, the passion and fans, the technology, the media (online and press), and other allied systems being put to use in the footballing world of England.

They just own almost every other accesories related to football development as a game.
South American countries may be producing the best footballers,
Spain may be producing the best professional teams,
Africa may be producing the strongest player, or
England yet producing the worst natonal team in Europe...they are still on top of football development and the main hub of footbal fans from around the world.
Unpredictability of the games makes it more pleasurable too...No two horse race.

Quit spewing trash. You guys always look for a way to cover up for ur mess. Those years you made mentioned of, how many teams made it to the finals? How many of them won it? UCL is all about the number 1 position. In the last few years, we all know how EPL teams have performed in UCL and El.

Its only EPL that is intensity inclined right? Arsenal lost back to back, chelsea also lost. In 6 games, EPL teams have lost 5 matches but you scream its the league that caused it. You are deluded, barca have close to 6 players injured plus being unable to field their new players and selling off players in the summer but still, they top the table of UCL and second in La Liga.

You scream lower teams are hard nut to crack yet when they meet in EL, they are always beaten. Do you remember how Athletic Bilbao won Man U home and away in EL? Man u eventually won the EPL that season, that proves how weak and over hyped the league it. Imagine Olympiacos beating Arsenal at home. Damn it

Your argument suffers in depth. What then do you regard the Laliga those seasons Man u, Liverpool and Chelsea won the covetous cup? Do you refer the laliga as worthless as you are trying to paint the epl? Not forgetting the 9 man Chelsea side that

dismantle Baca at a point.

That is what I am talking about. The pace of the EPL is delightful and exciting to watch but the technicality of the game goes unnoticed due to excitement.

advocates:
What is football without excitement? Take away the suspense from it and it loose its attractiveness. Your point still boils down to why EPL is the most watch league in the world. I bet you, by the time Messi and Rinaldo leave that place, that is bye bye to laliga. The league was just fortunate to have two of the best at the same time, even at that, EPL still remains the favourite.

How is he a learner? He is complaining about the state of the EPL today and you guys are pointing out that the EPL was great in the past.

I USED TO HAVE IS NOT PROPERTY.

smoothralph:

Sharap there!
Was it not in La Liga match after real Madrid had two of thier players sent off...The ref gave a player from the other team two yellow cards without sending the player off?

kobonaire:
true but La Liga is still generally boring to follow as only those 2 dominate .... I prefer watching the EPL, even if slightly inferior in football quality to RM & Barca because you have more parity within the league and thus more exciting/entertaining games.

Shymm3x:


Can you believe I slept off, just when the game was about to start, I swear down?

Thank God I recorded it - should watch it tomorrow.

Madness.

TheGoodJoe:

Football evolves. After Guardiola thrashed Bayern Munich with Barca, the teams in the German league took steps to up their game. For now, the EPL lacks behind technically. You can not say because they used to play well then, they are good.

Can you compare the Chelsea of today to the Chelsea with Drogba, Lampard and Ballack?

Can you compare Manchester United of today to the Man Utd with CR7, Tevez and Evra?

Or Liverpool of today to the team with Xabi Alonso, Mascherano and Gerard?

bugzbunny:

Dats to show. How. Gud the Epl is...
Anyone. Can. Beat anyone
Get barca into the Epl..I bet u.. Best is to make top four.. They will lose to leicester city..everton.. Ètc
