    This is getting really tedious. I bet you couldn't find one single heat map that looks like that for a player that starts as a nominal CM. With that said instead of continuing with a discussion that is becoming quite pointless lets sum this up that you believe Coutinho signing made sense for...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    No new contect, about to hit 70 on my Necro and not sure if I can already stomach much more. Helps that I had probably the worst 1-70 speed in a couple of seasons, not sure why but fuck I did bad this time as I'm at least at 3 if not 4 hours :(

    I think for Friede it's either you get it right away or she's a real bunch of bullshit. Really need to have quick camera work in my mind to track her invis attacks where she's most vulnerable.

    Siegward - Did you open the doors to Rosaria's bedchamber? I believe that is the trigger or the doors across from her. Patches - He's supposed to knock you off the railing going towards Rosaria's. If he's not there then you need to buy the tower key from the old lady at Firelink and do that...

    For MUFC/CFC, a bit more open than I expected but not a lot in it. Morata was onside and had a great finish, oh well.

    My take = Dembele and Coutinho play the same position. Dembele was a LW at BVB and Coutinho plays basically in the same area. Ossoi's take = Coutinho is a #8 yet nothing posted supports that but a 4 year old article and how Pep uses De Bruyne and Silva? Here's Lallana's heat map vs. ManC from...

    I like the post but I don't see how you're disputing my contention that Coutinho is not a midfielder. In fact you seem to be just solidifying the argument I'm making. Each heat map has him mainly past the halfway line shaded to the left with his most touches on the right being from corners...

    In games where Coutinho played with Mane, Salah and Firmino his average position was on the left as we played a lopsided 4-4-2 to fit him in. He may have been listed in the mid 3 but he didn't actually play there. Then when any of the other 3 were rested he played on the left wing in a 4-3-3...

    Dembele probably wasn't worth it at the time of the transfer but his numbers were in line with Neymar's at the same age, he plays the same position as Neymar and Barca had all the Neymar money in their pocket and everybody knew it. Now maybe since he's getting paid he won't push on but the...

    Haven't watched much of Barca this year, especially now with the Coutinho transfer. Was surprised at how toothless they were, either Messi was creating or they seemingly had nothing and needed a Chelsea gift to tie it or I don't think they would have ever scored. Maybe at home they'll be a...

    The recent and somewhat recent history of the CL shows that teams that most think don't have a chance do sometimes win. Chelsea, Inter, LFC, Porto, I could go on and on about teams that weren't the best but have won recent CL's. To just write off PSG, ManC or any team in the knockout stage is...

    Uchi is pretty damn good on my dex build. Hardest thing is getting good at parrying which really makes the weapon shine.

    PSG is pretty good, maybe not a clear favorite but they wouldn't be a bad bet. I think when it comes to the CL people forget how random it can be. All it takes is one lucky break, injury, draw, etc. for a team to win it.

    Foul kick or not the issue is either Ronaldo scores or he adds basically nothing to the team at this point in his career. He can't carry the ball up the field anymore, he doesn't really create unless it's a byproduct of his own wastefulness, and he shoots a shit load when half the time there's...

    I don't think LFC is getting enough credit for how good Porto is and what we did to them. Monaco and Leipzig are no slouches yet they advanced out of the group, haven't lost at home in a long time and have good players of which some will be sold for a lot of money just like every year. That...

    Yeah, that was Porto's largest home defeat ever in Europe and I would assume league as well considering how dominant they are domestically. I said I hoped we'd turn them over and we did. Really great result and now we're basically assured round of 8. 538 has us now at 11% to win the CL as well.

    Soccer 2017-2018

    Porto is a really strong team, I don't think this will be easy and a scoring draw is just fine to bring home to Anfield. Granted I'm hoping we turn them over but being realistic that's probably not likely.

    Credit to Spuds for the come back but I have no idea what Juve thought they were doing. You can't give Ericksen that kind of time and space but they refused to move their mid's away from their CB's and it was bound to pay off. Really, really weird tactics.

    Arse have the same issue as ManU. They don't have a functional midfield or D. Instead of using the Sanchez funds to shore up those positions (midfield has been crying out for it for years now) they spend on more attackers. Have fun in the Europa again...

    1st - Lovren played the ball because of Kane being behind him. I think this is more of a rules issue than anything. What if Lovren doesn't play the ball and the lineman doesn't waive for off-side? The linesman shouldn't have to depend on a defender to make a call but that's basically the way...

    Finished this last night. Overall I'd say it's good. Not much to add that already hasn't been stated by others who have read the books which I agree wholeheartedly with. Aside from that, I would do some dirty, dirty things to Ortega. Great fucking body.

    I'm thankful I was on the slopes and not able to fully watch the game or I would have broken something. I think you're supposed to figure the good and bad calls will even out over the course of a season but unless we're getting a pen in every game left I don't see how that can be possible...

    Just a general question, when do you decide you have more souls than you can risk and go back to level? I've probably lost 10k+ souls at this point that I was unable to retrieve.

    Typical would be we lie down and have our tummies tickled by a clearly inferior team while a normally shit and brutish CF bullies us off the pitch. We created a shit ton of chances and it just so happened every single player that had one missed. Shit happens. Play that same game the exact...

    For once I'd have to agree with you Maul in that you usually don't see a transfer quoted with all fees included. Unless this is the new norm it is a bit unfair as most "bosman" transfers are not free yet they're reported as if they are. All other types of transfers don't usually include the...

    It's reported as £14m per year net from his agent. First I've never heard a wage being quoted in "net" terms in England, only in France due to taxes and Monaco. Second ManC's contract was supposedly £13m per year, so they're quoting the £14m without the "net" added to it to make it seem like...

    I had previously watched the short and understood the Nexus 8's and previous versions were fighting back which is why they were still being hunted down. With that said the new Replicants didn't seem to show any inclining of turning until Joe/K. Though it seemed Luv was having issues staying...

    Welp, not sure what is worse. Chelsea going after Carroll after signing Drinkwater and Barkley or ManU giving Sanchez £500k per week. Both are absolutely retarded and I'm all for that.
