Pssh, we took 7 points off the Manchester clubs last season. You took...2?
Plus two midfielders, to improve on Lucas and replace Gerrard.
Hopefully Ryan McLaughlin can step up soon.
Justica.
Good.
Pretty good, yeah. Don't think it all works but that's mostly because of the production, its a bit too heavy. Lyrics are good though, some of the songs feel like old Eminem. 7/10 if I had to give it a score.
Reflektor is amazing, seeing Arcade Fire next Monday. Hypeeeeeee
I wonder how much of a difference it would have made if Enrique and Johnson was fit.
With the first goal, showed Flanagan's lack of pace compared to Johnson meaning our centre backs were out numbered.
One of the most important things of 3-5-2 is having dominant wingbacks to push back the opponents fullbacks. Our wingbacks were not getting forward. When they receive the ball they would stop and pass backwards. This would just funnel the game into the middle of the pitch where we were outnumbered.
Glad to see Riether's being punished, the fucking cunt. Shame because I think he's quite good, one of the best RBs in the league after the usual suspects.
Liverpool need a midfielder or two for sure. Considering that when Coutinho comes back into the side it'll probably be at Henderson's expense, Gerrard and Lucas will have some fucking work to do. Allen and Lucas would probably be my starting two. Would have gone for Agger over Kolo against Arsenal as well. Skrtel and Kolo looked bamboozled when Giroud and Ozil started playing one twos to each other.
dat 3-5-2 tho, on paper I want to see United go for it. My first formation in a month please understand
De Gea
Jones - Vidic - Evans
Rafael - Carrick - Fellaini - Januzaj
Shinji
Rooney - RVP
Valencia could also be a top wing back. Januzaj probably shouldn't play there and should alternate with Shinji lol, but Evra and Young could do a job as well

We drew at home against Liverpool last season, this season we handed them their ass. Last seasons results in same fixtures means nothing, you looked a much better team last year, this season you look incredibly average.

On United today, some cunt said Ibra was asked which partnership was better. SAS or Rppmey and RVP? Apparently he said "Who's Sturridge?"
Am I late on this or what?

Was that Turok who kept posting those blatantly incorrect stats?
Turok ITK
Where? In the French NT?
Koscielny was absolutely wonderful against Liverpool, has your opinion changed of him lately?Holy shit from the Zonal Marking piece :lol

loooooooooool who's django
Just coming back now I think, was on the bench in the cup
Think Spurs are a tad unfairly maligned. Point away at Everton is not to be sniffed at considering they beat Chelsea already, beat us and City last year.
Spurs are suffering from a few things for me; one being that - especially at White Hart Lane - teams are defending against them in a way they didn't before, they've acknowledged they need to shut up shop and park the bus, and they're doing that. Nothing wrong with that, so Spurs need to find a way through teams that do that.
The other is Soldado. I think he's a fine player who hasn't acclimatised to England fully yet and while some of it is his fault - doesn't make enough runs off the last defender for me sometimes - , the fact is he's great at getting onto the end of crosses with his head and peeling away and volleying it in. AVB insists on playing with two inverted wingers who just don't cross. The only time Townsend does it is when he cuts well inside and puts it towards the back post and that's just not the service Soldado thrives on. Plus Holtby's a good player but nowhere near as creative as Eriksen. Need to bed in Eriksen and Lamela quickly as.
why of course
And Wooden thought my stats were made up, lol.
Exactly, they're the pillar of this formation. It's no surprise we started SUCKING/conceding way too many goals when Lichtsteiner picked up an injury.

Damn, Olivia Wilde looks good in House
Got blog entry things from DC, Bungie, 3Sixty and Arnie now. They're all delicious <333
Gonna PM faridchan, bootay and one of the Swans fans actually. I'll do the Norwich one myself because who the fuck supports Norwich.
Unlucky to lose, baby. Trust, Carlo will play 460 with Khedira, Pepe and Casillas in midfield.
He's been very good so far this year to be honest, but I'd attribute a lot of it to having formed a very good partnership instead of individually standing out. There's times when running 20 yards ahead of the rest of his defence works and there's times when it doesn't, but Mertesacker - and Arteta actually, did it a few times the other day and it'll be the same when Flamini comes back - is exceptionally good at positioning himself in an effective covering position.
Koscielny's got all the physical attributes but he's dumb as fuck. He's improving, but sometimes I wonder whether him being proactive is part of a tactical plan or him just too eager to get involved.

Who's better, Koscielny or Luiz?
It's the polish.

All trolling aside, Benzema is a good striker who is possibly being unfairly maligned due to the performances of his more illustrious teammates. He'd start for most big teams in the world, bar United, City and Barca; teams who already have better forwards.
However, some of the criticism against him is warranted. He's wasteful, probably doesn't score enough goals and fails to stand out for Real. He probably would have been sold if he wasn't a favourite of Perez. No shame in that though. Many good players have been sold by Madrid.
And Koscielney is now being overrated as much as he was underrated.

After all that money splashed for Bale? Not sure about that unless we offload some players. How much money would Monaco demand? Oh and he'd be fucking hated by every Atleti fan lol.
:lol i love polish people. I live in Chicago and we have highest population of poles outside of poland.
I don't see it happening anytime soon.
