Costa and Fabregas are looking like great signings for Chelsea.
Glad I put Fabregas in my team, pissed off I didn't put Costa in my team!

Chelsea should piss the league.
Nice to see United have a midfielder who can shoot from the edge of the box. Nice one, Herrera.

A great result and a good game, but it was only QPR.
Thought Blind looked very solid. Di Maria was excellent.
Defense still suspect to say the least!

Defense didn't have much to do, but still looked shite. Di Maria and Herrera were great, Blind wasn't bad either. Once Falcao starts scoring, RVP is in trouble. He was a bit shite. Bring on the better teams.

Holy Fuck Liverpool are awful! Not all his fault but Gerrard is a weak link. Back four is not good enough. And so on...

Defending just gets worse and worse. What a total meltdown.

Complete collapse. Sure, Clattenburg didn't help, but there was no excuse for that capitulation. It was a whole team meltdown. The defence gets most of the stick, and it is a shambles, but in front of them United didn't do enough to get back on top after the first pen.

The best and worst of Rooney. Great goal and an idiotic challenge. A red card for sure. At least Mata will get a run of games. Thought he was unlucky to be dropped since the signings.
Nice to see Van Persie score.
Di Angel had his weakest game for Manchester United, but you can still see he has amazing talent.
Not too sure what De Gea was doing for the West Ham goal.
Delighted we held on, and I think doing that instead of winning 3-0 might actually be better for us.

True, coz it might give them some belief that they can hold teams rather than outscore everyone.pieceofme wrote: Delighted we held on, and I think doing that instead of winning 3-0 might actually be better for us.

Re: **OFFICIAL Association Football 2013/2014 Season thread*
Another hard fought win. Hanging on for the last 15-20. I thought Everton started to control midfield half way through the second half, and without a midfield enforcer United struggled to stop them. The forwards/attacking players are really poor at helping defend from the front. poor at tracking runners and pressing.

De Gea was great, would have lost without him.

Took him out of my fantasy team and he saves a penalty.Hellsinkey wrote:De Gea was great, would have lost without him.
Still, happy to get the win, and we are now 4th. Although our schedule has been fairly easy so far.

The samples I've read are interesting. Great player and captain, but might be a little too Moggio-like in being right about everything always. The only thing he admits is that Patrick Vieira could have kicked his ass.jellyheadrobertson wrote:Anyone think that Roy Keane book would be a good read?

just started watching EPL last year. i filled out an online questionnaire and it told me to be a tottenham spurs fan...so i am.
even with my very limited knowledge, i can clearly see that soldado is completely fucking worthless. how on earth can you start him and have harry cain on the bench.
hopefully that shit changes now.

Looking forward to the dippers/Chavs match on Saturday. Hopefully another defeat for David Brent.

Yep, could easily go unbeaten this season. I think Arsenal and Spurs are the only tough away games they have left.
Re: **OFFICIAL Association Football 2013/2014 Season thread*
United get lucky and Liverpool lose again.
I can't understand why Rodgers keeps playing Slippy G every match.He should be an impact sub off the bench and play further forward where his shooting and diving could be useful. Of course, you don't pay bit part players 120K per week. And there's no way Slippy will take a drop.

Pretty much. Can't say United was good, except De Gea. Arse can't get it right and it was almost one way traffic the whole game.MickeyG wrote:United get lucky .

Nice win. De Gea was amazing.
6 wins in a row. Defense still dodgy! Good to have Carrick back.
