EPL 2014/15 Discussion and Banter Thread

Tipped the draw for United! But boy oh boy they just look devoid of any conviction or any confidence at all. They need a complete overhaul of midfield and defence... Di Maria is a great signing but a world-class CB and CM are needed NOW. Mehdi Benatia is an absolute necessity and I thought the deal was all but done, gone quiet now. Khedira is on the market, not sure why he hasn't been linked (much)... They should forget Vidal cos that deal looks dead in the water.

Forget 7th - they'll be lucky to make the Top 8 if they keep this up and don't make CB/CM signings.

if transfers were that easy to get over the line they would do it. United have to give consideration to the fact that TOP draw talent is not easily available, and agents in their wisdom will make a song and dance about Utd not have CL football to offer..and make ridiculous wage demands. The worst thing United can do right now is lurch from one mistake to another. I am not a United fan at all, but the team isn't half as bad as everyone thinks.

I don't support MU either but as a football fan in general I don't wanna see them languishing like this for too long. A new CB is probably more important than a new CM right now but both are necessities. Not sure about LVG's 3-5-2 yet but a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 could work wonders for them.

With a 4-2-3-1, RVP could play striker with Rooney as the winger, but roam the final third a la CR7, with the LB (Rojo or Shaw) bombarding forward. Mata in the No. 10 role behind the striker and Di Maria (if the signing goes through) on the other wing.

De Gea
Rafael - Evans/Jones/New CB - Rojo - Shaw
Herrera - Carrick/Fletcher/New CM
Di Maria - Mata - Rooney
RVP

Now that's not that bad a team on paper is it?

Well I'm a little disappointed about the game.
Played well in the first half but got outplayed in the second half.

#1 Johnson is a f'n Muppet. Useless. Defensive liability.
#2 Manquillo better start next game.
#3 Moreno is a gun. Hard working. Love it.
#4 SAS looked flat today.

We will bounce back from this.

Very true. Johnson is a hack. I agree Moreno looked awesome. Just slow to clear that ball which lead to Jovetic goal. But other than that, nothing too bad. Can't wait for Balo to play. Will he play vs Spurs?

Van Gaal under pressure yet?  :-\

[elephants]

Van Gaal under pressure yet?  :-\

I'd argue unless your name is SAF, you're always gonna be under pressure as Man United manager.

He'll be given time though, longer than Moyes you'd think.
