Arsenal could have easily scored 2-3 goals, with their shitty defense not surprised Manu would score this much. But everyone is going to praise MANU like they are the best team in epl history...think we can match them

The Manchester teams are looking superb.

Although Arsenal were far, far from their last season's strength and Spurs have got three wins from their previous 14 PL matches, so neither of them probably are as good as we tend to think right now.

Well yeah, sort of, since either City nor United were never going to start poorly.

by HscouserZ on Sun Aug 28, 2011 10:49 pm

its still early to see whose gonna be top 4 remember chelsea's start last year ? anyway when its nov - dec things should get a lot clearer though.

so... granted it takes a lot of skill to score 8 goals in one game, but am i the only one who wasn't particularly impressed by manu today? the finishing was clinical, but you're not going to get that every time, nor will you get the horror defending that arsenal had on display today... 1 soft penalty, 3 major defensive lapses (including an incredibly poor play by the keeper on the first goal), and meanwhile manu's defending was fairly poor on top of that?

forgive me for not being afraid of them.

with johnny evans on deffence any team can win :coffee:

by B-Mac on Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:39 am

as the lead grew...less and less were tracking back...even Fergie said we were complacent on defense as the score grew in his post match. wouldn't look much into it, Evans didn't have a great game tho, penalty then kept walcott onside on his goal

by BeautifulGame on Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:42 am

United were impressive but i thought City were better.

by Red Alert on Mon Aug 29, 2011 6:57 am

Aguero helping Dzeko A LOT!

We need to get as far as possible from Arsenal and Spurs right now aswell.

1. Man Utd - 9...+10
2. Man City - 9 ...+9
3. Liverpool - 7...+4
4. Chelsea - 7.....+3
...
...
17. Arsenal - 1....-8
...
20. Tottenham - 0..-7

Matchday 4
Sunderland vs. Chelsea
Arsenal vs. Swansea City
Man City vs. Wigan
Wolves vs. Tottenham
Bolton vs. Man Utd

I have a feeling one of Chelsea or United will drop points this week.....Sunderland should pose a good competition for Chelsea at home, same with Bolton against Man Utd. Arsenal should easily dispatch of Swansea at home and get their first win. City will probably murder Wigan. For Spurs, it could be a toss up, Wolves are in a great form and could possible take a point from Tottenham. If we beat Stoke, it should be a nice week for us to see some of our rivals possibly drop points Twisted Evil

by poolsupporter on Sat Sep 10, 2011 2:52 am

I think United will kill Bolton. 4-1, 5-1 is my prediction for that game. I could see Chelsea drawing with Sunderland, but I have a feeling they'll nick a win with a late goal somehow. City could murder Wigan. Arsenal will probably win as well.

Oh, and we'll win as well.

by Red Alert on Sat Sep 10, 2011 3:39 am

As long as we win, I couldn't care less about the others this week! Stoke is a hard game, and we need the 3 points!

by RedOranje on Sat Sep 10, 2011 5:23 am

If Bolton play like they did against us United with destroy them...

I was really hoping Wanderers would play like they did against Man City and QPR...

:coffee:

Yeah... that didn't happen. Will no one stand up to Man U? They've been playing well, no doubt. It hasn't hurt that no one has given them a strong effort since WBA in the first weekend.

by Nishankly on Sat Oct 22, 2011 4:33 pm

BUMP.

Newcastle and City/United dropping points..

Have to win today.

by Nishankly on Sat Oct 22, 2011 4:44 pm

Newcastle score frak.

by Art Morte on Sat Oct 22, 2011 8:17 pm

If Tottenham win tomorrow at Blackburn, they'll be two points ahead of us with a game in hand. Not great, not great at all.

by Nishankly on Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:14 pm

Cant believe we couldnt cover 3 points today ..

by Don't call me James on Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:28 pm

1. Man City - 25...+26
2. Man Utd - 20...+14
3. Chelsea - 19...+10
4. Newcastle - 19..+6
5. Tottenham - 16..+2
6. Liverpool - 15....+2
7. Arsenal - 13.....-3

9 games played..........We should've had at least 7-9 points more.......The only game we were outplayed in was the Tottenham game Sad

.......Poor finishing destroyed us in the rest of the games.

by Guest on Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:39 pm

If we could improve our finishing rate by 15%, we'd be sitting joint second now.

Disgraceful finishing, and our inability to keep a clean sheet is killing us.

by RedOranje on Mon Oct 24, 2011 3:02 am

It's all part of the gelling process. The players are still developing understandings with each other and the management is still fleshing out how to get the best out of each.

Finishing is generally a matter of form and that we're creating as many chances as we are should be cause for optimism, IMO. Playing as we are, it only takes one result to get us on a run that could very quickly take us up the table... we're only 5 points off United at the moment (could easily be level had we finished better in the last two games).

I do agree that the defense is cause for some concern, though. Reina's radar has been off for two years or so now and we desperately need someone, ANYONE to make a CB spot his own. That's something to look at and possibly address in January.

Agger?
All of us would agree that he is the best CB we've got .. Im pretty sure he would have got to that norwich cross or wouldn't have slipped in the manu game..
