Appreciate the vote of confidence pappe but I'm sure we've lost too many points already, although I'd be overjoyed for Brendan to prove me wrong.
@LiverpoolGAF: against West Brom we took Coutinho off for Allen and it basically stopped our attacking threat. Today Texeria came on for Sterling and we scored and still looked threatening. Have we found a decent way to change the game now?
7th place finishers dont get Europa League do they?
But dont worry... we will win the UCL. Barca cant defend against crosses.

Yep. Flanagan caught out of position a few times too often, and their crossing is as bad as eachother's
Not sure I've seen Cissokho hit a cross for us yet that hasn't been dragged along the ground, but I can live with that as long as he's reasonably solid.
Aren't they 8 points and several teams away from making it?
He'll do better than Kagawa because I think he's a more ambitious player on the ball. But your main point stands.
If Moyres doesn't have the tactical ability to fit all three into one team and have them playing well, then he'll have to drop one of them and look for better options.

I know United GAF is going to disagree but Moyes is just a shit manager. Give him some of the best players in the world and he will still fail, because he's just that shitty. He is a mid table manager just like Roy Hodgson.
Yeah, it's silly he's been brought in essentially to replace exactly what Kagawa was doing. That is fucking stupid.
Bringing him off for Adnan instead of Valencia, away to Arsenal however, was not. There was a time to start all four of them and that was at home to Fulham. That's a far bigger crime than doing it at Arsenal away.
Liverpool were just generally poor in attack against West Brom though. Don't think you can really draw anything from that.
One of Young and Valencia needs to start, Mofyes has already set the plan forward, he refuses to star Mata and Adnan at the same time, he has replaced one with the other 3 times now, I firmly believe he will look for a winger in the summer and Adnan will be shunted out more. Fucking rediculous how little faith he has in his forward line ups that he would rather play too duff wingers who contribute nothing.
Disagree? I dont think any United fan is gonna disagree with that.
Have you even read comments on here?

That was our group back then
Dat Fiorentina match.
Dat was it Getafe? match.
Luca Toni lol
Hard to tell from 10 minutes, but he looked ok. Rodgers has clearly seen something in him and he (mostly) has a good eye for young talent.
Great stats from a defensive midfielder. He's not even nearly passed it. He was probably the best player on the pitch tonight.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL why Viva!
It's much easier than typing Gerrard. Because I honestly don't remember how many R's are in his name.
I don't think he's a mid table manager. Fourth and fifth a few times with Everton, even sixth is stretching it as far as 'mid' table goes.
He is however, limited in his tactical acumen and fearlessness when approaching a game. A very reactive manager. Not many will disagree with you at all; I will. He's far from shit. It just looks like he isn't the right choice for Manchester United.
No, not yet. I've been meaning to do that, but am probably too late now, since they closed it all off.
I don't live in Munich, but 100 kms away. Out in the country.

Cos only Liverpool fans call him Stevie. And you're not a Liverpool fan.

You know what's utterly galling? Said it yesterday, but had we not let in stoppage time goals we'd be six points better off.
Fucking Fergie's curse.
We have to play them at St Marys #battleforseventh

Agree with this. He did a great job with Everton, no matter what farid says. And he did it for a long time.
Same position next December, I think.

In the near future? Not in the slightest.
If there's been no improvement by the end of next season then I can see it happening.
The Battle for Seventh Place.
It will be a day that goes down in Premier League history.
Holy FUCK this wind is actually beginning to unnerve me. Better charge my phone before power goes out.

He probably watches more Liverpool matches than you watch United matches, Viva.
What can I say, I'm sophisticated. I go shopping for coffee beans on the weekends.

manchester don't need to place fourth.
they can just win the Champions League to qualify for next year's.

Glad we won . United arsenal game was piss both should be ashamed of themselves. United are dead inside write this season off and get the transfers organised before the world cup and prices go up. Arsenal needed a win to recover from the drubbing at the weekend. Bayern should piss all over them. United easily defended against them.

anything's possible, but i sincerely doubt it due to his appointment by sir alex, who is highly regarded (revered) at old trafford
he'll be given a blank check next season to update the roster
Massive result for us that in terms of aiming for top 4. 2 points gained on Arsenal, 2 extra points ahead of United (yes them getting 4th is unlikely now but it's still not impossible yet), maintained our 3 point lead over Spurs (basically 4 points when looking at goal difference), and best of all we ground out an away win when we weren't at our best.
