You have more possession because of the intense running IMO.
I think it will take its toll on the players over the course of the season which is why I don't think you can finish top 4.
And, we're off.....2016/17

He's winning me round slowly but surely. Still not a fan of the system per se, particularly not in comparison to the way we played last season, but if it carries on getting results then good on him.
I think he's slowly realising what the players are good at too. Noticeably more pressing in the last few games.
Granted Not as much as last year, also a little more direct which I quite like. Not just long balls, but set the ball through to full backs, less 2 yard passes around an opponents box.
Not convinced on redmond yet, but he seems to like him.
If they have possession for 70% of the game, how can they get to tired overly exerting themselves for 20 mins a game?
Last season son was a culture shock for em and fatigue did hit em, but a full Klopp preseason will have increased their fitness. Plus, saints have been high press for the last few years so half their team can handle it already

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Suddenly a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders, cheers Lord T. What's your thoughts on Mr Moyes saying you are in a relegation battle.

Only time will tell if your right but we are a lot fitter this stage Of The season compared to this time last season.
Everybody will get injuries that's part and parcel of football, if were lucky enough to have fewer injuries than everybody else then great, if not we'll deal with it.
We'll get more recovery time between games than Arsenal City and spurs.

And when he goes the chippy he'll prob be served by a United fan, goes the pub, the barman will be a Stretford-ender........He shouldnt be put in that position.
Lets face it if he gives us a major decision Mourinho will say, that he has tried to look too neutral, if he gives it to them we will say are you surprised, he lives in greater Manchester.
As everyone says "with refs we just want consistency", well thats gone out of the window for the ref's bosses. Mike Dean - no Liverpool/Everton games ever (and rightfully so). Even if you dont support that team, you still live in the area.
I think hes a crap ref anyway, and finding out he lives in Manchester just fills me with dread. I just hope that whoever wins, its down to their players and not the ref's decision.Totally wrong and the FA should have had a word with the refs.:thup:

I thought all Man Utd fans lived in the south of England and the Far East so surely there's no issue with a ref that lives in Manchester taking charge of one of their games.

Spot on though Mike Dean Is from the wirral and lives in north wales and can't ref us though Mike Jones from Chester can.

He's not he supports Chester, and Dean supports Tranmere.
Just seen the City game on New Years Day has been brought forward to 530pm ko on New Years Eve to suit sky with no concern for supporters at all.

Believe me, he's a blue.:thup:
I seen a list last week of who the premiership refs "say" they support. Hardly any of them had down a premiership side, makes you wonder if they dont want to miss out on some big games so say semi-pro and lower league teams.

He's ref'd Everton games, including v Chelsea when he allowed Terry's equaliser to stand, he's not a blue.

This is actually no more nauseating than any of the other versions I've heard to be fair.

There were no games planned for New Year's Day as its a Sunday full fixtures Saturday NYE and bank holiday Monday.
Wondered who the lucky ones were getting the Saturday evening slot on NYE.
Bet the old bill are impressed too!
Tashy, I'm actually an Everton fan, thank you for the point by the way, but as I live in the NE I am very aware of all things NE football. Sunderland are in a dire position and I think this is the year they go down. They have been poor for a number of years, no progress at all as far as I can see so frankly the league would be better off without them. Both Bournemouth and Watford have made more progress in 1 year than Sunderland have in 4 so I have no sympathy for them.
I think Moyes can rebuild them, they will need to do a Newcastle and go down a year though, but I thought his comments were poor. What message do you send to your players when you come out with that straight away. Their instant mindset is we are not good enough. Poor psychology for me, even though it was the truth. I would not be at all surprised to see Allardyce back there by Christmas.
Incidentally, back to your original point, listening to Talksport is bad for your health. Their whole remit is to annoy and irritate, to wind you up. There have some good presenters who play it straight, H & J stand out for me, but most of the others prod you to make you angry. They have a lot of sport on so they draw you in but it is bad for your blood pressure to listen to them too much. Enjoy watching City, forget them. You are seeing some of the best football ever seen in this country, lap it up.
