we weren't that bad against chelsea though, we did play some good football, i think they were more clinical than us combined with our shambled defense the scoreline just blew dia performance out of proportion

Don't really agree with that. The bad defending apart we didn't play good football. I get that watching the match, Chelsea didn't look 4-0 better than us but we really didn't create much in the 1st half and the 2nd half we forced a few half chances. The difference between us was our horrible defensive mistakes.

The funny thing is we've shown this tendency to be weak defensively unless we're parking the bus since we don't press high and Chelsea didn't need to really press high. Just wait for us to shoot ourselves in the foot and take their chances.

I expect City to beat us because they're fundamental issues in the squad Jose hasn't addressed.

Home V City - League Cup

Away V Fenerbache - Europa

Well played Chelsea.

Rojo on. Game over. TV off.

Great start by us

Not looking forward to Bailly facing Costa.

I hated that match. Terrible spectacle. Atleast we didn't lose but very disappointed with the performance.

Fellaini starts.

No Martial at all.

Love the confidence. Wish I the same. City destroying us at home in the 1st half without Aguero saw an end to that. Here's hoping sha. Let's see.

If Fellaini starts then I won't be watching nor will I care about the result.

I tell you what's even more annoying, all the Liverpool fans in the office are extremely confident of a win like its a forgone conclusion.

I wonder when Liverpool turned Barcelona cum Madrid in your sight.

What's the fuss about not beating Liverpool? I can't believe this.

At no stage have I made Liverpool to be some European giant. Simply made an inference from our mostly disjointed performances this season that I dont know where people are expecting us to beat one of the form teams in the league. If you weren't a man utd fan, are you honestly telling me that based on the season so far we should beat Liverpool?

^^^^^

Chill! We ain't gonna lose to Liverpool! All our Players are fit! The injured ones are back! And I trust Jose Mourinho to choose right Players for the Game!

Mourinho has learned his Lessons from his first big Game as Manchester United Manager - against Manchester City!

He got it wrong with his first Eleven, though he made fruitful changes in the second half, but it's already over!

I trust him to do the needful against our Arch-Rival! United can't afford to lose to Liverpool. It's a game we much at least pick a point!

Seems like you're expecting magic. I truly hope you're right even though I share none of your confidence.

Where is this confidence that we'll get anything against Liverpool come from?

Or is it rose tinted specs that is making you guys see this?

I would love it but even in my wet dreams I'm struggling to see how we'll get anything from anfield considering how we've performed this season so far.

I still think we're playing Pogba according to what we think he is rather actually playing to his strengths. Same with France. Onky Juve seems to have played him properly and we're not following suit.

Dropped for club and dropped for country.

Una no dey watch this naija match ?!!
We dey ball.

I missed it, but I've seen the goals. Good goals. Iwobi and Iheanacho giving me life.

dopeJemi:
WTF are you saying? Which game have we parked the bus this season? I remember dropping an article here which stated that we have created the most chances this season so what park the bus philosophy are you talking about?

We are the slowest, but we are sitting comfortably above the fastest

when you see statements like that, you know who watches matches and who doesn't. You should have just ignored him to be honest. Some people can't comprehend Logic and facts.

Seems Holland are worse than England. They've called up Memphis Depay.

We won't finish in the top 4 that's for sure.

codedguy1:
Bench zlatan and bring who, Rooney?

He clearly wanted to deceive the keeper but Grant was sharp. He is lively and has played well. We need a little luck to wrap this game up.

Let's just hope stoke don't go score a cheap goal.

Rashford up top with Martial left. He has been playing well but the chances aren't going in so maybe he needs a breather?

We lack ruthlessness which will be our undoing. We miss too many chances and if zlatan continues to do this too he might need some bench time.

I mean liverpoolz title challenge case come 2nd half of d season. IMO...dz liverpool z anoda flash, e go soon end

Hope so. But last season happened.

femiti:
jfatigue will most likely set in during d second half of d season. It will b interesting to see aw dy wld cope then

Like already said, they have the advantage of no europe. I definitely expect them to challenge for the title.

Our worst nightmare at the moment is Liverpool. So annoying. They're definitely in a title challenge. The annoying thing is they cant defend but that pace throughout the side and the high press means most teams wont get to really test their defence.

Big Sam dodgy geezer. If then like make dem give Harry Redknapp the job. The dodgiest of all.

Not going to lie. This is a top performance from Arsenal. Not just the goals but their steel and discipline at the back has been very good. Quite annoying. Liverpool are another team looking fantastic. They're definitely going to be in a title challenge this season.

Just hope Jose gets his team in order. Its going to be a tough season ahead.

Chelsea . Only other team that is as sluggish as we are. Getting an@l probed by Arsenal.

chrisley024:
3 points with 3 goals. We played 1st half and passed around 2nd half.

Wishing for draw in Arsenal vs Chelsea

Score draw and some red cards please!

I think Shaw might not get back in the team again though.

Pogba is never a number 10. Not sure where people get this idea from if they've been watching him play.

Still not pleased with the midfield 2. Should be 3 midfielders there. That's where we'll lose the battle. Also Mata is on his last chance here. If he doesn't perform. Jose will bench him forever.

Going to bench Rooney in Fifa demo since Jose wont do it.
