Hernandez & Welbeck seem like genuinely nice guys.

Yeah they do, it is nice to have some seemingly grounded players.

 

[Roland Garros]

What? He was, and it's relevant to today.

You used the word gash to describe him, bit unfortunate.

Welbeck I'm still unsure on, he is only 21 and could still turn out to be good. Hernandez... again, still unsure on him. Seems to have lost his magic first season touch, but still worth having in the squad as I've some faith that he'll find it again.

If I was to be very silly and rank the strikers I'd probably go Aguero > RVP > Rooney > Tevez > Balotelli > Welbeck > Dzeko > Hernandez, with me favouring City at the minute on current form.

Not much to disagree with there, maybe swap Tevez and Rooney but only on recent form obviously.

 

[Fergie]

Mata has been struggling.

 

[Yurt]

Ramires <3

 

[Lunchbox]

city's squad is still way stronger.

hazard just papers over chelsea's deficiencies right now. they still need a drogba 2.0

 

[Kyoufu]

Cisse looks so bad so far. :/

 

[Broder Salsa]

Mata has been struggling.

You must be high.

 

[elsk]

Incorrect. We'll talk in 10 years when Welbeck is a star and Balotelli has pissed his career away.

Welbeck as LW is surely not going to be a great player. He should move to a different club.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Freaking Newcastle. Offense and defense has been pretty bad so far.. My gosh..

 

[kharma45]

Nope he's pretty shite on the wing but he's still best off staying at United.

 

[José Mourinho]

You must be high.

Yup, he looked good to me.

 

[Roland Garros]

Yup. Is there any promising youth striker for City actually?

Guidetta? He looks promising.

 

[Freewheelin']

Yup. Is there any promising youth striker for City actually?

Gudetti. But he's not in the team atm.

 

[LegoArmo]

And for some reason Rooney and Van Persie are worse than Tevez and Aguero despite being the top two goalscorers in the Premier League for years. Sure.

City also don't have any "actual" wingers.

 

[Wessiej]

Guidetta? He looks promising.

He has an infection right now that could last a year...

 

[Fergie]

You must be high.

Feels like he's lacking form.

 

[Roland Garros]

I'd argue Balo has turned the corner. Welbeck's still fumbling for his keys.

 

[Soi-Fong]

That's horrible...

 

[kharma45]

We'll only have one if Nani leaves.

Spoiler

Young doesn't count as he doesn't do what wingers should do and run down the line.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Really hope that rumor of Nani leaving Old Trafford wasn't real. If so, very disrespectful to his teammates and the club.

Who said that? Those 4 are hard to split. I'd be uncomfortable to rank them.

And no we have no wingers but since when would our style ever accommodate one? It's fucking Mancini.

If he has done that he's on his way out.

It is, but Rooney still gets benched while he was shit against everton same as Nani, yet Nani isn't on the bench.

 

[José Mourinho]

We've taken our foot off the gas but still think we look comfortable. So that's good.

That's the skud on now, Newcastle to win 2-3.

While I'm getting tired of United's over-reliance on wingers, it's still good to actually have them just to give you width on the pitch and extra space.

 

[Sloosha]

Feels like he's lacking form.

He's been decent, although he's probably been overshadowed by Hazard at the moment. Definitely needs some rest though.

Must be time for some Oscar soon.

 

[Messi]

Who do I drop Cisse for? Hmm Torres? Ba?

 

[Zabojnik]

Dammit, Joveti&#263; already classing with a double. :/ Why can't we spend 30M&#8364; on a player, whaaaayyyyyy.

Hope so, looked really good at the Olympics.

I completely agree man, which is why I'm so annoyed to be losing Johnson. A shocking, shocking decision and one I'm very bitter about.

I've already said you have the best first 11, but maybe lacking a plan B when the opposing teams crowd the middle. United lacked a plan B when wing play didn't work last season, Kagawa has gone some way to solving that.

I just think United would handle injuries better than City.

Mancini never started him, which is why he moved. He needs games.

A clone of Hazard.

I saw that

 

[qindarka]

I think it has been 10000 years since a Chelsea player scored directly from a freekick.

 

[Zabojnik]

Obligatory Juve's formation pic for tonight:

 

[Error]

will probably watch the mini clasico.

 

[José Mourinho]

We have penalties now.

United has been handling injuries better than any other goddamn PL team so far. It's crazy how we lost our captain last season and still ended up losing only on goal diff. And even so far this season 2 games in, we've done decent considering we only have one true CB fit.

And now, Rooney is out injured as well. Sweet mother... Our luck with injuries..

 

[maxxpower]

I didn't watch the match, but did United play better with Nani off the pitch?

 

[kharma45]

I didn't watch the match, but did United play better with Nani off the pitch?

For the most part yes.

 

[Meier]

Cisse looks so bad so far. :/

Guess I will drop him from fantasy. Looks useless right now.

 

[Soi-Fong]

I didn't watch the match, but did United play better with Nani off the pitch?

I'll say the we sorta did. I still say Young is worst than Nani, but Young was "decent" with his crosses and he did get one assist in.

Still as ever, way too reliant on the wingers and Kagawa and RVP did not get enough touches of the ball in the middle. I actually saw Kagawa going way deep at times just to get a touch of the ball.

 

[K1LLER7]

Who do I drop Cisse for? Hmm Torres? Ba?

Van Persie

 

[Yurt]

XI: (3-5-2) Storari; Bonucci, Marrone, Barzagli; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Giovinco, Vucinic

And if I see Marotta in the game I'm going to kill myself.

Edit: After FT

 

[Zabojnik]

Apparently it's raining like hell in Turin. They may have to postpone the match. Noooo.

 

[Fergie]

Guess I will drop him from fantasy. Looks useless right now.

He is unpredictable though, given a chance in the box, I think he will score. Thing is Newcastle can't even penetrate Chelski.


Come on Ba, for my FF!

 

[bud]

babababa...

 

[Roland Garros]

Balotelli can't be relied on not to get himself sent off and cost City games. Dzeko is barely wanted by his own club. United have more than 4 strikers too, youth players and everything. A foreign concept to most City fans.

You won't be saying that in 10 years time.

And I won't confuse your ignorance of our youth players as thoughtful criticism, so a response is largely unnecessary.
