Leicester is probably the last team Mourinho would want to be playing right now.

Well that was against the run of play.

It's a bit unfair to judge Rooney on being a midfielder when clearly he isn't one and never will be.

I dunno over a season he will do a good job there, I reckon.

Good enough to be top 3, not sure, but can definitely do a better job than most premiership midfielders.

Blimey that's game well and truly over. I thought Leicester would be a tough test today but Man U brushed them aside.

Fair play to Utd, but how bad are Leicester? Champions? Can't see them staying up at this rate

Since they went behind they have looked desperate.

Leicester were troubling them and looked more likely to score first but since then it has been one way traffic.

Backed at 33/1 to get relegated end of last season. Not sure what they're at atm. But i certainly see more chance of bottom half than top. They were on a crest of confidence, unfortunately all their players played at 100% last year and think reality good hit hard.

OOPS sometimes mate its just best to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Pogba's turned up finally

Need Allardyce to play Rooney in his usual striker position. If he then doesn't cut it there then agreed , needs to be dropped.

It's a bit unfair to judge Rooney on being a midfielder when clearly he isn't one and never will be.

Along with 99% of Utd supporters Rooney needed to be dropped and it doesn't matter where he has played of late he has been very poor for his standards.

:thup: He crossed for a couple of goals in the first couple of matches, but sadly, he is no longer the player he was and Herrera , Mata, Pogba should be on the sheet ahead of him. Actually, Blind as a box to box CM is a better option, but he's in at LB today.

Possibly, but he wouldnt do a better job than Herrera, Mata, Pogba, Blind or even Carrick. He's honestly been that bad.

I think carrick is the player he should mound himself on. He's a frustrating sort, when you play him up top he always drifts back to midfield, but if you try playing him deep like a carrick, pirlo or alonso he roams to far forward. That was fine when first on scene as he had the legs for it. Now, unless his positional discipline improves I think the bench will become his usual place.

Isn't that illegal?

Haha!

No no worse that what he did with Grannies.......

 

[davemc1]

Best price 4/6.
Liverpool 2nd favourites,but obviously they're not putting any pressure on themselves & top 4 is massive for them 🙄

 

[fundy]

4/6 Tashyboy

I see Wenger still not picking a striker and Coquelin yet again preferred

 

[fundy]

I guess you dont need to pick a striker if the oppo arent gonna pick any centre halfs

Cracking goal the 2nd one
