Same here. I've a feeling Wanyama is going to bully us today, and Benteke would offer more than Origi against him.

He's the sort that recovers quickly though. :/

Bournemouth looking like a Championship side playing in the Premier League. Massive shame.
Hopefully they can get some talent in (on loan perhaps to avoid those long-term big wages) in January - maybe they can go ambitious and try for Victor Valdes. Or some more Premier League experience, just to help shore things up a little at the back. Because as it stands, with the injuries they have and the lack of squad depth, they'll sink without a trace.

They still might survive by being only the fourth-worst team.

Sunderland will start picking up points under Allardyce, Newcastle aren't a bunch of no-hopers, West Brom are already turning things around again under Pulis, and Villa could pull a Sunderland with the right manager.
Can you name 3 worse teams?
Under McClaren they are. That guy is an S-tier fraud.

Damn! What a ball that was by Martial!
Nice move by Lingard too. More skill than Rooney

Martial, Lingard--wow! Deserved to be a goal.
Rooney continues to stink up the place though.

City looked so weak today. Big missed opportunity by United.

Someone needs to give them all shooting training...
And Rooney needs to be sold or something. So worthless.

These Lexus PR guys didn't think their advertising through.
"Lexus stoppage time of 3 mins."
No Lexus, I would like my car to stop a bit sooner than that please.

Nobody's gonna pay his salary, so selling him would be impossible.

So if Liverpool lose today will it be Klopp out?
At this point, terminating his contract alone would save something like £12m a year.
I'm not really sure what's going to happen with Rooney at the end of this season. He probably won't be sold, and he should be dropped right now for Martial, but then he's been an integral part of United for the last decade and I'm sure he wants to get the all time goal scoring record.

Well that derby was a bit shit. Should've watched another game.

If you terminate his contract you'd have to still give him the £12m a year.

Liverpool can't seem to get rid of José Enrique either. Doesn't mean they're forced to start him for every game until his contract expires.
If you're not good enough, you're not good enough. He's been like this for over a year now, it's not just a form thing. If this player wasn't called Wayne Rooney, he wouldn't be anywhere near the Man Utd or England teams. Living off reputation. We've seen it before with Michael Owen - why do people seem to think he'll come good again?
Well now that Sherwood's available, I'd imagine it'd be a matter of when, not if.
At least we wouldn't have to play him anymore, right now he's throwing off the balance of the team and diminishing Martial's threat.

Expectedly turgid. I was surprised with Pelli going for the draw so early on though, I was impressed with United not falling for the usual City counter traps though almost pulled it off a few times but lacked any pace in that area. Bony doesn't fit City, hopefully we will start to utilise him properly as he is a good player but he has no pace which doesn't suit how we are playing at the moment and doesn't look like he is part of the team. I don't know if Otamendi had a good game or if Rooney is just bobbins. Happy with draw overall take the point and become top of the league again and set us up well for the home game later in the season.
I think once United get out of finding their new brand of football and can adapt more to win a game they will become a really potent team again.

You know, you don't actually have to play him right now either.

Kinda makes sense given that Villa brought in like 5 French players this year but I see that Garde's only experience was managing Lyon when they were bad. Doesn't inspire a ton of hope.
I don't think Rooney is even good enough for ANY premier league team right now.
