Barclay's Premier League '14-'15 discussion V2

I'm just going to say it right now. Prediction time.

Arsenal will win the league.

You can quote me on that.

Lol Remy to Chelsea?

Someone pls explain

Taider moved to Southampton few weeks back

but now he is being loaned to Sassuolo? wat?

Taider is at Soton on loan from Inter. Don't think he's moving anywhere.

He better not score a f'in hattrick I sold him on FF for 1 week

Premier League Week 3

Burnley v Man Utd

Can't see United dropping points for the 3rd time in a row. With Di maria, they will have more energy and more drive. RVP should be more fit as well.

Going with 3-1 United.

Man City v Stoke

Easy home win. Most likely 4-0

Newcastle v Crystal Palace

Going with a Newcastle win. Palace are not exactly in the best of positions. Cabella to have a stormer. 2-0

QPR v Sunderland

This is unpredictable. I think Sunderland are better on paper but QPR are at home. Could end in a draw but I am going with an away win. 2-1 to Sunderland

Swansea v West Brom

Swansea have started brilliantly. Their defence specially has been very solid. I hope they can continue with another win. 2-0 to Swansea.

West Ham Vs Southampton

Another unpredictable match. Southampton impressed against Liverpool and WBA. But they are still fixing things after the summer exodus. West Ham were very good against Palace and Zarate is picking up form. I don't know how this will go but let's say a home win. 1-0 to West Ham

Everton v Chelsea

The best match of saturday. Chelsea don't really do well at Goodison, like most top teams bar Liverpool. Lukaku if fit will be looking to prove a point to Jose. While Chelsea have been excellent so far in their matches against Burnley and Leicester. This might not be a high scoring match because Jose will be reserved while Martinez will play tactically to avoid counters.

1-1 for me but Home team has a bigger chance of winning

Newcastle and scoring goals

I predict we'll lose and I hope we do, the more pressure put on the idiot the better.

Forza Warnock

Man Utd team to play Burnley:

De Gea; Jones, Evans, Blackett; Valencia, Fletcher, Di Maria, Young; Mata; Rooney, van Persie

Burnley:

Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee; Arfield, Jones, Marney, Taylor; Jutkiewicx, Ings

Go Burnley, Make me laugh, I dare you.

Burnley are favourites to go down so even a spectacularly shit performance from Man U should see them scrape a win.

Mata - Fletcher - Di Maria, never thought I'd see a midfield like that.

Agger deserves a general thread of his own, Players of his ilk are almost none.

Art Morte wrote:Mata - Fletcher - Di Maria, never thought I'd see a midfield like that.

I'm with you, Art. I simply cannot believe he's playing Di Maria in one of the deeper positions, much less dropping Herrera to do so.

Let me reiterate: United have replaced their £28.5 million signing with their  £60 million ( £70 w/add-ons) signing. Yep... that's a sustainable model. Good transfer window!

Herrera is injured, not dropped afaik

Yeah, Herrera's out with an injury.

Valencia though utter trash. And he has a new contract

Van Gaal did say give him 3 months though..... hoping that it pays off

Until then, we'll be garbage

I can't believe how little United created against Burnley, Heaton had to barely make a save. I don't know what Mata was doing all game, certainly not linking the midfield with the attack. A sweet result. That easy start to the season for United

yea mata is playing as a striker high up the pitch. thats why he isnt creating anything meaningful. Hopefully it will be addressed soon.

Stoke lead City
