** European League Thread (Spain/Germany/France etc) **

Another 2 goals for Lewand. Lovely ball from Gotze.

Bayern to walk the league, again.

EDIT: If they keep up this type of form they'll walk absolutely everything. The strength and depth in their squad is unparalleled in world football, IMO, and with the players that are still missing due to injury, it just isn't fair.

Atletico looking stronger than Sociedad today, Griezmann with great pace, strength and a classic Vela finish to make it 1-0. Sociedad, sitting 18th as it stands, Moyes has turned a struggling team into a team who struggle in a different way. From a manager who was poor with training, fitness and overall motivation they've brought in Moyes to take care of that but remove all creativity, attacking and flowing football from a squad and club built on that style of football.

Dire stuff from Moyes's Sociedad, this was a team who stepped up their game for games against the top few teams with multiple results but always top performances against the top four. One win against Barca very soon after taking over, and completely lucky with an ultra defensive and dull display(polar opposite of usual Sociedad), apart from that boring defensive tactics against the top teams and no more points. It's like Everton, turning up at the top teams an already beaten side, playing poorly, not attacking well. Technical side of their game has disappeared, sharp quick passing, great interplay and hyperspeed counter attacks all completely missing.

Moyes looking to get fired pretty soon the way he's going.
 
He's always been a defensively minded manager. He has always believed the point of football is to stop the other team from scoring above all else, never mind score more goals than the opposition and actually beat them. Some United players have said that when they weren't in possession he wanted every player behind the ball. EVERY player. Not even a striker up front. Shows his mentality. I have no idea why Sociedad still put their trust in him.

4 posts in a row is rather sickening, but the anticipation from Muller here - https://streamable.com/lcl2

Muller is magic, he is always in the right spot, always. I was a little confused though as I watched some of the game and couldn't remember where Bayern hit the post 4 times in a row :p

2 assists a goal and off, was it him at half time or a little later. Boateng off at half time, they played for 45 mins then stopped, largely because they were good enough to do so. Did the same against Arsenal midweek really.


Sociedad sucking again under Moyes, they were beaten by the bottom club 2-0 which moved Las Palmas up to 18th, joint on points with Sociedad in 16th with only a better goal difference to show for it. Not conceding loads but can't score... not like an Moyes side at all.

Considering the money they got from player sales and a group stage run in the champs league it's pretty pathetic where they are. The guy who took over from the great manager didn't do a good job but was only there for a year and I believe a new manager(worked under the previous one). Moyes is supposedly experienced and capable at the highest level yet is doing a basically worse job now. Moyes was always 100% wrong for the Spanish league, ultra attacking league was always going to mean a manager who focuses entirely on defence and ruins most strikers to play under him was a disaster waiting to happen.

Have you been watching all the games DM? You'll have to admit they've been very unlucky in a few of their games, they could easily have 9 points more. Youre right in that i don't know where the goals are going to come from, Griezmann is a big loss. Hard to replace someone like that.

I really don't understand where you get this thing about his sides not being able to score goals though. 11/12 season they scored 55, 12/13 they scored 50. Martinez has scored 60 and 48 respectively in his two seasons, thats 3 goals difference over 2 seasons and that's after Martinez spent 30m on Lukaku. Hardly anything to write home about..

He was definitely brave for going out to Spain, very hard for British managers out there...gotta give him credit for that.

Just looking at Moyes season at UTD as well, he scored 2 more goals than LVG in his 1st season there..:o
