patrickmuf:To be candid with you, they count. Although they are not the deciding factors, yet admittedly they count ultimately. But then, this is not an excuse to not state categorically that EPL has been far below par in recent years. The truth is; between 2005 and 2012, EPL were worthy contenders in European Football. Now my humble question for you is; were they not playing the aforementioned competitions at the time? Of course they were! Why the nosedive then? That's because the top guns in EPL have been shiit in recent times. No? And let's even clear up this issue of competitiveness especially with lowly placed teams; the classical argument that the EPL is the best league because of parity is garbage. The only reason there is parity is because the top of the league simply isn't good enough. That's what you guys fail to take cognizance of. The top is garbage (at least in recent years), hence the struggle with lowly placed teams. It is insane how hard it is to win the EPL title, yet last season Leicester CIty won the League. What does that say about the top four or five in that League? Are Leicester City on the same level as Barça, Bayern or Real Madrid? NO they are not and never will be. This proves beyond every shadow of doubt that the quality of football and/or players by the top teams has been at low ebb recently. If you put 20 equally shite teams together, it'll be super competitive, but what's your point? The EPL-is-hard-to-win argument has nothing to do with how good the teams are. On the contrary even, it shows how bad the top has been in recent years. As regards the extra competition they play, that also is not an excuse I would say. Most teams have enough squad depth to cover for that. Did you know Barça played a game almost every 3 days from September last year till March or April this year? Combining the league, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Club World Cup (in Japan) until January. And in January played the League and Copa matches all through (every 3 days) till February when the Champions League KO began. It continued that way till Barça were knocked out of The UCL and and it ended when Barça played their semifinal Copa match. Calculate it and it would amount to about 60 matches. Not to forget that Barça had an unbeaten run in that very tough period. Now tell me, how many EPL teams did play up to 60 games last season? And this was the same thing 2 seasons ago when we won the treble. Our only issue last season was squad depth. If we had it last season, I guess the UCL final would have been an El-Clasico final. Regardless of the the fact that we were knocked out of the UCL, we won a double which was a success nonetheless. So you see? If you have enough quality, regardless of the number of matches, your squad quality would prevail. Moreover, toughest football doesnt mean quality football. It is all about winning tittles and not hype and money only. If you have all the money and coaches and you can't compete with the weak teams, then it is considerd a failure. Excuses, excuses, excuses; not having a winter break is not the fault of other leagues, that is your problem. If you are that tough then come out and show your toughness. Besides, how come PSG that literally strolls to the Ligue 1 title yearly haven't dominated the UCL since they face weak opposition? If playing easier teams makes you a champions league winner or top contender, then Juventus, Bayern and PSG could have dominated the CL, so find another excuse as we are used to this already. Although among those 3, Bayern is an exception; not because they face weaker oppositions, but because they are a top quality side themselves. Juve had won the Serie A months before the 2015 Champions League final, while Barça won La Liga in the last week of the season. Did that give Juventus any sort of edge in the final? Of course you knew what happened. Bayern were in pole position of retaining the Bundesliga title prior to playing Barça in 2015, while Barça were still struggling it out with Atletico and Real. Did that make the contest any easier for Bayern since they would have rested more players prior to the fixtures? So Frankly, these arguments are flawed. Quality, like I earlier pointed out, prevails! 5 Likes |

raumdeuter: In the last 15 years, 4 different English teams have played in the UCL finals and three have lifted it in that time. Please show me which other league has equalled this feat. The thing with England is that the teams don't really have regards for the UEFA cup, it's the European Carling Cup sort off, unfortunately UEFA use it ro award coefficients too. |

Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by patrickmuf(m): 9:39pm On Sep 06, 2016 |
dmcdad:You can't compare the competition as it was then and now, just take a look at the quality of players at spurs, Everton, Stoke City, Southampton, West ham etc couple of years ago, there's no way West ham would be parading a team with Payet, Stoke City with Shaqiri, Allen, Bojan etc We are now witnessing the likes of Palace splashing the cash like it's no man's business, Leicester CIty have broken their transfer record twice in one window and so much more... The financial strength of teams across the league is very healthy thus quality players are kind of evenly spread. Bayern have been just up there for the last couple of years and I'd boldly say with a bit of luck on their side with injuries, they'd have won the UCL again. Juventus gave Barca a match of their lives and it could easily have gone both ways. PSG on the other hand are suffring from what I'll term the "The Man City disease" fueled by inferiority complex, they're a great coach away of success (Man City have responded with the appointment of Pep, still not convinced about Unai at this point) Every football fan who watched those games will tell you Messi was the difference between the both teams and to be fair, with Robbery, Bayern are a different ball game entirely and I expect you to konw better having been of the receiving end of their ruthlessness. |

patrickmuf:I remember I did exempt Bayern in the scenario I painted in my last post. Juve, despite their domestic dominance have been poor in Europe. When was the last time they played in a final prior to 2015? At least we can count how many times top teams like Bayern and Barça have been in the final in the last 10 years. And although Madrid were poor in most part during this 10year period, they have won the UCL twice almost in quick succession. That's to tell you that these 3 are in a league of their own. Truth be told, the competition in EPL is rising in recent times, but that doesn't take away the fact that the major difference in this competition is the fact that top teams have been poor. Man U have had to put up 2 bad seasons. Chelsea had to endure their worst season in recent years, even after winning the EPL. Liverpool are not title contenders, and so are Arsenal. And please don't bother arguing about these two, cause you can't realistically tell me someone is a contender albeit not being able to win it once for 12 years. And next we have Man City who have been competitive domestically recently but have been poor in Europe. Yeah they got to the semis of the Champions League last season, but then, having a relatively easy draw in the round of 16 and playing a team of their statue (in the form of PSG), anyway, I still give them credit for overcoming PSG. Yet, their quality as a poor side came into play when they met Madrid. Or do we go over to the Europa League? I guess no need. Because there too, you will find second tier teams like Tottenham and the likes fumbling in Europe. Anyway, you talked about financial strength of even the lowly-placed teams in EPL as a means of competing with the big boys. Begs the question, how come these finances do not help them succeed in Europe? EPL has always been heavily financed over their other European counterparts, but how has that translated to winning trophies continentally? Like I stated earlier on, the lowly-placed teams have improved in recent years, yet, the big boiz have regressed more than those teams improved and hence bringing about more competition in the league. There is need for EPL teams to learn how to play good footie again and then, we can talk about competing in Europe top flights once again. 2 Likes |

patrickmuf:You make a lot of solid pts but I think you also have to consider that a lot of these players at these mid-tier clubs are not really value for money. In what planet are Moussa Sissoko and Yannick Goddamn Bolasie worth a combined £60m? Give Schalke, Sevilla, Villareal, Gladbach that money and see American Wonder Leicester broke their records on Islam Slimani and Ahmed Musa. I mean no disrespect to them but these are not players that assembled in another league would challenge a Madrid, Barca or Bayern on a consistent basis If it were so mid-table EPL clubs should be wiping the floor with their colleagues in Europe yet we saw West Ham get knocked out by a club from Romania for the second year in a row EPL clubs are getting finessed all over Europe on the transfer market 1 Like |

Is there any hope for him?

raumdeuter:Even Thiago Silva, widely acclaimed as the best defender in the world was dropped from the national team some time ago. That one no be news. If winning two league titles and making the Ligue 1 team of the season twice in a row is an embarrassment, then . . Boateng has been winning? or you mean making himself the butt(pun intended) of jokes and epic memes. The same guy that was brought crashing to the ground by a man half his size by the simplest of footworks. Or the dude that forgot he was playing football and not handball. Defenders are like fine wine, they get better with time. At 29, Luiz is at the prime age for a CB. Ever since this Luiz-Boateng debate began, Luiz has made a team comprising of the best players on the planet. When will Boateng be in such exalted company? Luiz also made the World Cup XI despite all that happened while becoming the most expensive defender of all time. |
Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by raumdeuter: 4:43am On Sep 07, 2016 |
pkasso: Ever since the Luiz Boateng debate Jerome has won a world cup as one of the outstanding performers of the finals while Luiz was one of the disgrace on the tournament forced to cry on TV. Since then Boateng has never failed to make a CL semi final while for Luiz he wasn't even close. Boateng fell for the trickery of Messi the greatest player in his generation unlike Luiz who got nutmegged not once but twice in a game by a player way below Messi. Little wonder psg were so willing to offload him to a team not even in the CL at a price less than they paid for him. Especially to a team not in Europe You sell a player at his so called prime less than you paid for him when he's a flop. That's what Luiz is. A flop dropped by a CL team to a team not even in europa. Shipped away by a defensive coach for being a disaster and also dropped by his country for bringing the greatest embarrassment to the yellow shirt Whenever you hype a player that's what becomes of their career. They flop badly |
Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by pkasso(m): 6:33am On Sep 07, 2016 |
raumdeuter:It's funny when you try to pass off collective or team achievements as individual ones. Did Boateng singlehandedly win the World Cup for Germany? As for the Cl, Boateng plays for a bigger club so that is expected. So because your boy got humiliated by Messi, we should overlook it simply because it's Messi. Which kain logic be that one? Like there is any pride in being humiliated in such manner as he was. Even Granada and Gijon defenders no fall yakata like that when up against Messi. Did you expect PSG to sell Luiz for more than 50 milla. A world record fee for a defender. ' A club not even in Europe'. Tell that to Kante. Hehehe. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in Europe so no points for you. One man's poison is another man's meat. Rejected by Mourinho, bought by Conte. You don start again with your lies. Luiz wasn't dropped because of the World cup fiasco. |
