It's fucking Mills. They'll be talking about 'Arry to Man Utd soon enough because he's doing great with QPR in a difficult league.
Moyes doesn't seem to rate him, it's mental. I think he was our best player before he went off. Crosses were always dangerous, and he pressures and tackles like no fuck in our midfield does.
It's not just Mills though, you'll nary find an article criticising Rooney at all, and a lot of fans on here seem to be under the illusion he's been magnificent all season as well. Was poor in a lot of games he's scored free kicks in or assisted from a corner as well, and just masked that with stats.
He's not the worst culprit though; Welbeck who I've always defended, absolutely fucking horrific tonight.
I have no idea. It feels like aeons.
Ramsey pass is beautiful.
Beautiful from RamsGOD and the wizard of Oz :')

Thoroughly delighted with our game tonight, and as long as Suarez is fit, we've a chance of making top 4. Gerrard being further up the pitch was enjoyable to see. I'd have no problem playing him and Coutinho behind Suarez and Sturridge in a 4-2-2-2 formation, kinda like the way City do when Nasri and Silva are on the pitch. We don't play the wings anyways, so playing Sterling/Moses seems redundant to me.
Defensively we're still pretty chaotic, and center mid we're not much better. Need a top class DM/CM in January who can break up attacks without ball chasing (a la Lucas), and who can control the pace of the game. It'll also allow Gerrard to start further up the pitch. Rodgers also needs to decide on his CB partnership. We've chopped and changed all season and it shows. There's zero understanding between any of our CB's, and that understanding will only develop with a consistent selection.
Suarez' first goal was de ja vu Bordeaux Zidane. He's a total cunt, but a phenomenal player. And Utd lost too. Happy out.

Madrid and Chelsea are a shit show with managers for sacking them after winning trophies or getting second place. It's much different from the situation United find themselves in.
Regardless of that difference, United would be stupid to sack Moyes right now.
Love it

People moaning about defending just wait till u see the goals he has scored!
Anthony Pilkington @Pilkington_11
What are you supposed to do when someone is doing that! He's been unplayable tonight!
I'd hope we will get 3pts vs both Cardiff and West Ham at home, and I really don't see how Spurs can expect to beat us if we actually turn up.
That's 9pts there. Anything from City or Chelsea away is a bonus, and we have a fairly decent record at the Bridge of late.
They are all going to PSG. Why would they want to play for Rube that will now become dust now that Pirlo is out?
PSG lost against Evian today, who are three spots away from relegation zone. In the end it is as I predicted, Monaco will win the title, Rivière will come to Arsenal and Falcao to Madrid.

None of those defenders will.
And Rooney will have more say in his future than we will.

But they are. This gap cannot be bridged, our love will be forever unrequited
God, I wish that Gerrard shot had gone in. When he brings the flair out, he fucking brings it.

Yup, sacking a manager during the season is counter-productive. Unless we're firmly mid-table or near relegation without improvement when this season is done, Moyes should get another year at least.
I'm starting to get the feeling Vidic will leave too. You'd have thought he'd have signed a new contract by now if he was staying.
You've completely missed the boat on him now, unfortunately for yous.
£60 million straight up in the summer might have done it. Now, anything less than Bale money is unacceptable, and given the song and dance we put on last August it appears that the only place we'll let him go is Real.
Arsenal don't need a top striker anyway. They just need a solid striker like Giroud to tee up their midfield.

I wouldn't mind if he went.
We're rebuilding the team. Put Jones is there and buy another CB.

As Swansea demonstrated today, you don't need strikers to beat Newcastle.
Just a good manager.
Newcastle win.

This is bullshit, why do i have to live in the UK or US to start a kickstarter
pls i'm in financial trouble guys.

I think Henderson will be dropped for West Ham. His performance has been tailing off recently. His usefulness has started to deteriate as we don't press as a team anymore. For his own sake he really needs to find his shooting boots soon.
I can see him replaced by Allen so Gerrard can play further up the pitch against West Ham, or even Alberto. I fully expect West Ham to just sit back, which will limit Henderson's usefulness. Will need a creative player on the pitch instead.

Looking forward to the post-Vidic/Ferdinand world with great curiosity. Would love to see Evans/Smalling/Jones cemented at the back. But we'll probably just spend £18m on someone.
Don't be a Tihemorrhoid, pls.

Not like this, man, not like this....
I feel like we need that "spark".
The sort of player that can win a game when everything else goes wrong. Could be Ramsey, I suppose. It felt like he was passing to himself at times tonight.
Don't know if we'll see him. Needs to get a chance.

This is amazing!!!!
We had a good win for sure, Gerrard could stay up the pitch because Norwich aren't exactly known for the goal scoring strikers >.> So going overly aggressive is the best option against them.
I feel Gerrard is best used as a last 30 minutes substitute now tbh, he's excellent against teams like Norwich, but against the big boys (looking at Arsenal here), he gets thrown out of his depth :/
Definitely agree with you on Lucas, he's excellent at breaking up the play.. but that's about it, a top top CDM needs to do more than just break up play now, Lucas isn't quite up to that standard sadly
Yeah the CB is weird as hell :S Rodgers picks his team on form mostly, so clearly all of our CB's are playing awfully xD
We play better in the second half of the season. What are you talking about?
Was gonna say that too. He hasn't been anything special since coming back. Another Juve free transfer jobby?
Lots of holes will need to be filled. Still need two quality midfielders too. And a winger, and a left back.
Basically a new team.

It's up one of these days I promise. But I really wanted that 80mil kickstarter to get started first, but they keep saying I have to validate myself as a real person and that my bank details doesn't match my adresse, fuck off.
