Imo only City, Chelsea and Arsenal are guaranteed top4 place. It's going to be a great battle between Liverpoo/Manu ....Spurs. Despite all their problems last year Man u still finished 3rd and this year I think their main problem is that they lack a goalscorer. Rooney seems past it and he never was a big goalscorer anyways. Martial may have cost up to 50millions euros but for he won't be better than someone like Welbeck ( at least for this season ).

Yeah. The title is between arsenal and City, with Chelsea coming in undisputed 3rd.

The competition for that 4th spot trophy isn't very tough tbh.
Utd should be able to come out on top of Spurs and Liverpool easily.

In the following years the league will adjust to this 'big 3' situation though, as the 3+1 CL spots will become 2+1.

chelsea will still get top 2 this season.

Arsenal haven't been any more convincing than Liverpool or United really.

After City the top 4 is wide open. Chelsea look like shit, Arsenal, United and Liverpool have all been unconvincing and the rest of the field have just become stronger which will make it harder to just roll the mid - lower table teams to overcome potential deficiencies against direct rivals.

Chelsea usually set up best though in head to head matches for top 4 competitors so I would expect them to make the top 4 pretty easily...but if their early season struggles continue it wouldn't surprise me if Mourinho's act could put them on the cusp of missing a spot.

i agree. but lets see how city get on when they have a dip in form.

It's not a 'shit' team, they're just being coached by a so and so manager.

by Art Morte Mon Aug 31, 2015 9:29 pm

United need more players who can take on defenders. You're too easy to defend against if you've got no one who can put defenders on the back foot. Young looked like United's best player against Swansea after he came on, because he could create a bit of space for himself with the ball and put in crosses / find teammates.

That's not allowed under LVG's current play-it-safe rigid system. Our attacking players are afraid of playing a through ball and risk losing the ball, let alone try to take on players.

Like I said, LVG is the reason we look so dull and 'shit'. He stifles the life out of any flair in the side.

by Hapless_Hans Mon Aug 31, 2015 9:41 pm

Wasn't aware you were brimming with attacking flair before van Gaal came.

Wasn't as bad as it is now where we're struggling to take shots on target let alone score them.

depay and mata were signed for that.

Theres a reason why Luke Shaw is looking the best player this season for us. Contrary to other scared little shits he is actually running with the ball and taking on defenders in the process probably irking van g. His instruction would have been to lay it off for Memphis mostly but lol the kid's too rebellious (in a good way) to carry it out entirely on the pitch thereby looking more like his Soton days even though fully he isnt there yet in that regard and is skeptical 1 out of 3 times.

Others are simply following the manual van gaal has given them word by word. Sad

And the one player probably who would have been assigned some creative freedom by lvg hasnt yet delivered as well. So... unless we buy a top level di maria like player every player we purchase will be curbed off their natural instincts by lvg.
One way to bypass this issue right now is to buy a better forward, so that at least the few chances we will be getting can be finished off.
Instead we are stuck with rooney.

LVG has successfully guided them back from mediocrity to being competitive again. Has build a great team and instated a winning mentality.

Manchester Derby will be amazing this season. United/City/Chelsea for a 3 way title race is on with Arsenal as dark horses :bow:

by Doc Sat Sep 26, 2015 5:07 pm

By dark horses, you mean not competing for the title but providing witty banter for the rest of the league?

let us not get into technicalities.

RG trying to jinx us the week before we play them next Mad

No. We're not back.

Arsenal though, 5 goals away to an in form Leicester team. Title winning performance. Credit where it's due.

by RealGunner Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:56 pm

I don't jinx mate lol

Tongue in cheek thread but I do mean what I said. LVG has successfully built a side which might not play great football, but is very efficient in getting results and doing enough to win games.
