RE: INTRODUCING "THE LEAGUE TALK" - LIVE ACTION FOOTBALL DISCUSSIONS
I don't think the lack of fans in the stadium is what is causing the fall of many of the big teams we are seeing @theatrorve. I saw the first match of Barca against Sevilla. I knew it was going to be a tough match as I know a couple player there (example is Lucas Ocampus) who were going to be trouble for Barca.
Their long balls were excellent and they utilized the full width of the pitch. I think they would have won the match had it not been for the slip up they had initially.
I think the Champions league is going to be quite interesting. I am really looking forward to the match between Sevilla and Chelsea. What do you think the score line would be? I think Chelsea would lose that match with their current form. Then again, it all depends on how well they can play together by then.
Kai Havert is not a very fast player so the full backs should learn to marry their gameplay with his. I think Werner would do well with Hudson Odoi's current form.
The "big teams" have started struggling at these early stages already. I can't wait to see them when the are playing several leagues at the same time where many of their players are likely to be injured. I can't wait!
