I refer to my previous statement.

More solid defenders are needed against pacey teams, not an inexperienced kid & some average CB.
Blind is a makeshift DM, and taking off Di Maria is not helpful when you need two goals.

Liverpool at least can say they are missing players, United have enough back now that this should not happen.
It's a front heavy team, opposite of last season

 

Liverpool lose
Man U thrashed
Hamilton leads F1

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best weekend EVER!!!!!!

I don't even care if City win!

 

When Everton trounce / scrape past Crystal Palace, then I shall take pleasure in United's defeat.

EDIT: Di Maria only came off because Mata's too big a cheese to remain on the bench. It was a substitution borne of obligation rather than common sense.

 

lol x 5

 

Doesn't seem like City will. Their lineup is not as strong as Chelsea's. But you never know these days.

United need to string wins together, especially when top 4 contenders like Liverpool also lose & a big match like Chelsea-City is happening where one side may drop points.

At least with Blackett sent off it means Shaw should debut next week.

 

Oh, wait. Tottenham lost, too. Makes beating Palace practically a necessity.

 

Mario Balotelli mocked Manchester United on Twitter.

This is what he got in return. (language warning)

I would say unbelievable... but it's not.

 

Balotelli didn't exactly do much for Liverpool yesterday, but that doesn't excuse racism towards him. Hopefully all those people get banned, both from twitter & United games if they are ticket holders (or whatever other team they support).

 

Still confused as to how investing heavily in attack & midfield didn't sort out our defensive problems

 

Because LVG bought 3 left sided defenders & none for the right. And he didn't get a defensive midfielder, he got Falcao on loan instead. Outscoring the other side is fine, but not when you hand them two penalties to allow them back into the game when you are two goals ahead.

 

One of those names looks awfully familiar...

 

i have no shame in enjoying this belated "you wish it was."

Ahem.

You wish it was.

 

Chelsea should be in their away kit.

 

I concur

 

Still not rating Willian. Far too selfish on the ball.

 

How close was that to another Fabregas-Costa goal!

 

Boy am I glad I didn't make fun of Liverpool or Manchester United.
