Surely they'll lose some of their pace in the second half. Aguero and Negredo both screwed up clear chances. We'll get at least one or two more I'd think..

Our midfield is shit and the players are not giving their all, but when Moyes comes out with comments like that he looks like a cunt trying to blame others. I just don't know what to say anymore...

Kompany got murked by Osvaldo on that goal
So 15 league games into the season and sitting at 9th place makes our club look like a "fucking joke"?
If you had pointed out the fact that fans were walking out the stadium when we were just 1-0 down and said our supporters are a fucking joke, I'd be more inclined to agree.
But to base all your comments on our underperformance on the pitch and in a seaon that has not even crossed the halfway mark yet is laughable. We had the greatest manager of all time who was in charge for more than twenty years. Transition was more probably than not going to be painful. To say that we expected such poor performances is not exactly accurate but to call it surprising would be overstating it quite a bit.

So we should just let Liverpool play the game how they want? We're a place above the relegation zone, haven't won at Anfield in 50 years and have the worst strike force in the league, of course we're going to try and frustrate them and take an (increasingly unlikely) point any way it comes.
If he comes out and blames himself then there'll be headlines in the media saying Moyes doesn't think he's the right man for the job. He's fucked no matter which way he answers.
I'm not pleased with the answers he's giving, but I understand why he's doing it.
Yeah absolutely agree with this. You play to your strengths, not your opponents.
People on this forum refuse to accept their is such a thing as bad luck in football, it's only "team A scored more goals than team B and it's always because of skill so the better team won". It's a total joke. It's a fact that United EASILY won the league last season and this season they haven't lost any of those players, they all still play for Man United. Yet despite that they are now in mid-table. So yeah you either have to believe United completely fluked last season or this season they're having bad luck.

Strling and Coutinho beasting. Wish Sterling was more assertive when through on goal, he loses his head too often
Sakho playing well too

You guys are playing the way a team should. We've been frustrated by well-organized defensive teams and they had done very well to keep Suarez quiet until the own goal.
We need luiz and cashley cole back
Mourhino would require 80 million to invest in the squad. Mourhino would be in the same position as Moyes with this squad.
Liverpool don't matter. Come on Southampton and Stoke please!

I think your bus has a flat tire.
Or the much more obvious answer of us being shit.
You need to ground your trolls a bit more in reality.
Glad to hear it man.

Every goal we concede is the same scrappy mess. You'd think we'd learn.
Really happy for you mate.
Just in time to see Benfica bow out of the CL . Good lad.
Welcome back. Glad everything is working out for you.
Beautiful.
Yeah, I think he's doing the old Fergie trick of not blaming the players in public but has probably just give them a round of fucks.
Are the players taking any notice though?

That's some goal by Osvaldo. Not much City can do about that - got to account for those happening every once in awhile when you have quality players in the attack.
Top 4 as it stands now is
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man City
Liverpool
Could this be achievable as a top 4 come the end of the season? Man Utd have been so poor and Spurs mediocre as well. Everton a real wild card as they're in excellent form.
I think it'll end up
Man City
Arsenal
Chelsea
Man United
to be perfectly honest. Just can't discount United. They simply aren't capable of finishing out of the top 4.

A little surprised to see some Stirling criticism earlier, though others have noted his quality today. His performance today is basically everything that Utd fans hoped Zaha would be - yes he is sloppy and sometimes screws up good attacks, but that is because he is constantly in a position to do so. He is always willing to run at defenders, to make attacking runs, intelligent runs at that, and to receive the ball in dangerous positions. The composure will come with experience.
Also will say I don't think West Ham have been bad at all, they started to retreat a bit towards the end, but were still quite willing to have a go, to get forward for set pieces and to try and score. Not what I would call parking the bus at all.

Things going well today. Means we're 3rd if things stay as they are. If Stoke can get another we go 2nd on GD.
Glad to hear it, good to have you back.

Whatever, the point still stands there which is that United looks like a joke after one change (but in all honesty a big change) and even moreso compared to other big clubs who've gone through those kind of changes frequently. United is a big club, one of the european powerhouses so naturally the expectations on it to keep up is high so when a team of such stature doesn't I don't know what else you could call it except a joke. If I'm not even allowed to point this out without it looking like "youtube spam" then L1nett can bug off, simple as that.
I don't know how you guys even care anymore. Bundesliga can't be exciting for you at all.
We're 3rd as it stands aren't we? A point above city.
It's weird.
I would've been happy for Arsenal to finish 3rd with a trophy, but now not winning the league will feel like a disappointment.

Beautiful goal. Poor Kompany.
You're still not getting it.
When you are tired of winning, you are tired of life
Also, this is still the healing period after the dark days
