I can understand Forlan was never really an out an out striker he easily drop off and play behind a striker , while I think Aguero best position is a support striker with freedom he can play CF as I think his movement is pretty good and awareness.

Gonzales got 2 and VDV got 1 for HSV.

Empoli losing to Zurich 2 -0.

3rd for Zurich.

DS pretty much how its working, as together with our wide mid Reyes, simao, LG or Maxi and CM Maniche and Raul Garcia (poss. our bet buy this summer) there is a lot of interchanging and covering of other players, now we have it working better although there is some way to go its slowly improving. now all we need is one better CD and a GK, hopefully if we are pushing for ECL they'll make a play in january

Villarreal are ahead but that game was already finished in the 1st leg.

Hows Modric playing by the way , anyone watching?

Frank
Why didnt you go for Andrade?

goodness knows, he'd have been ideal. Ze Castro is defo a longer term option, eller is shite so we only have perea and pablo as decent-ish CB. annoyed me at the time, think its why we wnet for Marquez at the end of the transfer market but barca wouldn't go for it

You can perhaps tempt Woodgate away from Middlesbrough ,hes one class CB who is not in a big club at the moment.

maybe, just still worry about his injury pronesness

In hindsight, Andrade would have been a bad buy. It's clear that something's wrong with his knee, because he's done the cruciate ligament again at Juve. 3rd time now, I think.

Selling Torres seems working at the moment , how much money would you have , is Uefa cup a realistic ambition ?
Hope you can contribute in an exciting La Liga fighting for the CL places.

So far...

Scored a pen , doing well when drifting out wide. Not dictating the game as he is expected to.

Class penalty. Rather unspectaculair for the rest. Looks deffo talented but dire game in total.

CSKA Sofia 1 - 0 Toulouse
the French are looking likely to be out.

Belenses starting defensive again. Bayern have to keep their cool and be very patient.

Everton are getting eaten alive! Whenever they give the ball to Neville he just lobs the ball aimlessly up the pitch

1-0 Galatasaray

Aberdeen win on away goals, that was the biggest siege I've ever seen.

Out already...fucking hell.

Its one of those games where Ajax have so much chances on goal and not one shot goes in , i cant see Zagreb scoring from open play (that's how dominant Ajax have been) but they will somehow. Ten Cate get your tickets to London.
