Things getting very tight for the 3 CL places up for grabs.
Massive game for Arsenal & Liverpool later,both managers already under pressure.
What result would suit UTD?

A draw after our result we want 4th not 5th

I would have thought a Liverpool win would be better for United.

 

[Slime]

A draw for me, preferably with a few straight reds thrown in for good measure and maybe two or three hamstring pulls .
Desperate .............. Moi?

What a comment from Zlatan- 'he jumped into my elbow'. He's having a laugh.

Like when Suarez's victims fell onto his teeth.
And when Wayne Bridges Mrs fell onto John Terry's ......😂

I've seen a photo with his fist really clenched as he powers his elbow back with 100% intent, for him to say this is a disgrace and shows he has no remorse for his actions and it should add to his impending ban, this could have been a Gary Mabut style injury irrelevant of what happened earlier, he has absolutely no defence whatsoever.

No Sanchez for Arsenal, instead starting with Welbeck and Giroud upfront.

Brave selection and totally unexpected. I will take a draw today.

I just have this feeling that there will be no ban. I think Friend saw it and took no action. There then can't be any retrospective action. Really hope I am wrong as it deserves a good 5-6 games.

Looking at the Arsenal & Liverpool line ups,you'd struggle to make a good team out of both.
Some very poor players in both teams.

Eh are you wired up right, both teams according to fans on here are pushing Chelsea into third spot and Utd with there squad are finishing fourth with the spuds and City being relegated.

I'm not overly convinced by Coutois, he has no presence about him and think he's pretty average. However as a Spurs fan I'm not bothered, merely speaking as an ex keeper. De Gea has more presence about him, but noting like Peter Schmecial. Young Jordan Pickford at Sunderland looks a very promising keeper, great shot stopper, commands his box and kicks the ball very well. As long as he keeps developing he could really be a top keeper.

Courtois average? So who are the 5 or 6 keepers better than him in the PL? Personally I think he's as good as De Gea and has the potential to be better. He'll be a big loss to Chelsea if he goes.

Deadly serious,not one player that started the game would get into Chelsea's starting 11.
Not even sure if they'd make the bench.

Coquelin has to be one of the worst plsyers in the premiership. He is truly awful.

You wouldnt have said that last year, and its the same Chelsea players. Its nothing a change in management cant fix.

Can somebody please explain to me how if you are playing a direct rival, in a dogfight to retain your 4th place trophy, under attack by an element of your fan base, trying to defend a legacy that is fading to a distant memory and you play Iwobi and leave Sanchez on the bench

Still wouldn't have taken too many of em tbh.

Not in the least bit surprised. Buying Gestede and selling Rhodes... Gestede isn't the player Rhodes is, and as for Negredo...good job there aren't many Thursday games when he's off collecting his pension.

I said it tongue very much in cheek. Sane and Coutinho look class at times, as does Sanchez and Ozil. But over the course of a season you need more than 20 good games. at City. Players like de Brynue, Silva, Aguero give you that. It's the other dead wood that don't.

Re goalies top three re my lad who played in goal.
1, De Gea
2, Lloris
3, Courtois

Ironically he would of put Joe Hart in that top three if he hadn't gone to Italy. Also Cech is knocking on that door of top three. Being the best keeper for the last 15 years.
Re Pickford, yup he's good but get off his his back and stop bigging him up. He is a young English kid that needs to settle in.

Very good performance from Liverpool so far however how easy have Arsenal made it.

Wenger has lost the plot and it looks like the players have stopped playing for him,once again not a leader amongst them and no-one willing to fight for the cause.
