Falcao did very well today IMO. Today was one of his best performances, if not his best, since joining.
With a little slice of luck he woulda bagged a hatrick today. |

Nihilist: Firstly, I don't buy the 'squad depth' excuse. This is the same southampton that sold their all their key players save for Schneiderlin last summer. Yet they're in third place now.
Chelsea has lost twice already this season AND dropped points to Southampton. It is not a foregone conclusion that we would win this year...Afterall we were neck and neck with City on the log this time last week...
Also, there's a difference between contender and champion.
In boxing, the contenders are the top 10 ranked boxers in a weight division, who then compete to be mandatory challenger for the title.
Similarly, in the EPL, the contenders for the title are the top 4 teams on the log, since you have to be that close to be considered to have a realistic even if outside chance at the title.
And I think the point Airbornelacer was trying to make that day was that, as long as Soton keep up the pressure(ostensibly by maintaining a top 4 spot), they can be legitimately be called Title Challengers...does that sound so foolish to you? I see the reason for the argument is the different interpretations of the term 'title challengers' Having the leaders 'within touch' and being in a decent run of form just isn't enough. Sevilla and valencia are just 5 and 6 points off leaders off madrid. Can we term them title challengers? A lot of other factors have to be considered too. Otherwise, virtually everyone in the league still have a 'chance' of catching chelsea, do we call them all. A title challenger for me is a team that has a realistic chance of becoming champs come may. And right now, only two teams fall in that category. It'll take something spectacular. Something like a miracle for the title to go to any other team outside those 2. Something as big as the munich air disaster (God forbid) not necessarily as disastrous tho. |

elampiro: Okay, I get you now. Your are correct. It will be far more beneficial to play a lone poacher. Two poachers is a burden/liability to the team. The other 9 players have too much to do. precisely. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 9:55am On Jan 16, 2015 |
Nihilist: So far so good, they've beaten or drawn three members of the top 4, and have the best defence in the leave having conceded the fewest number of goals.
The have no distractions in Europe, and only have to contend with the FA cup this year.
And they're in 3rd place, only 10 points from the top. As we all saw last season, the guys who were 12 points clear in January ended up finishing 4th
So why do you not think they can be called title contenders? Because of a lack of pedigree? Because there is certainly precedent in Chelsea and more recently Man City... 1. they lack that required squad depth we all saw what happened to them when they were hit by a few injuries and suspensions. They went on an embarrassing losing streak. 2.It can also be argued that they are this position now largely due to the fact that the uniteds and arsenals have failed to turn up, YET and these two aren't even considered title contenders. I wouldn't bet on soton finishing above these two how then do u expect me to consider them title challengers And 10pts from this mourinho's chelsea isn't "just". Madrid will have a hard time chasing it down in this league, not to talk of soton. |

AirborneLacer: £25million a year aint asking for too much na.
If Turkish Airlines can't afford that figure, they should phucking scram!
The Chelsea franchise has grown into a big global brand, to have your brand name on our jersey should be considered a blessing. u think being having the commercial appeal of the uniteds of this world is a days job? Lol. U guys should get a woodward. He'll help ur course in this direction a great deal  |

Nihilist: PietroRico
Do you still think Airbornelacer was foolish to label Southampton title contenders?
I noticed you didn't answer the other day... I DID! Yea, its fooolish. Very fooolish. The argument should be if they are 'genuine' top 4 contenders not title contenders. Can u bet on them finishing in top 4?  |

elampiro: They are not too expensive if they deliver the goods. But for now things are not working in the whole team. Falcao and Van Persie should be part of chances creation in the team. Suarez was creating the most chances for Liverpool as well as being their top scorer for two seasons. that's why they are poachers. They depend largely on created chances. U cannot expect them to suddenly turn into complete forwards, especially at this stage of their careers. They WILL struggle badly if u assign the role of complete forwards to them. Infact that's the reason falcao's struggle is very obvious. He has been asked too get himself involved in the team's play That's not who he is. That's like expecting a pirlo or a xavi to suddenly become a box to box midfielder to suit a team's need. It'll be easier to get a box to box midfielder from the market. Suarez is a perfect example of a complete forward. And its someone in that mould that we should be looking out for. Having that in addition to ONE of RVP/falcao will be much more ideal than having a front two of falcao and RVP. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 6:56am On Jan 16, 2015 |
Rvp and falcao are too expensive to have as poachers. We should be thinking of how to discard at least one of them, if not two sef and get at least one complete forward. And yes we need a good winger, even more that we need a central midfielder.  |

elampiro: ...........Carrick/Blind Fellani.....................Di Maria ...........Mata/Rooney.
But it shots out Valencia and Young. I thought u meant deeper in the 352 context. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 8:56pm On Jan 11, 2015 |
elampiro: Who really believed that Falcao was dropped? I don't believe Falcao was dropped and Wilson made the bench. They should tell us exactly what is happening to Falcao. abeg jare. Falcao should go and sit down. The gamble isn't working out and nothing much will change. That forty whatever million can be used to get a younger striker who will offer 3x more than he will. The english league is too physical for him, especially at this stage of his career. He should quietly go back to france/spain to continue doing his business. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 8:51pm On Jan 11, 2015 |
elampiro: I think they should deploy him deeper. May be the diamond, with Fellaini in the midfield. then what happens to carrick and blind? This 352 should only be used in desperate times, not when we have everyone fit. |
