Rival watch and other teams

If only you truly believed that

 

didnt see Pogba in Serie A as I do not watch Italian footie,
but on their showings so far in the PL, Kante > Pogba

Early days yet though

 

You remember Pedro first few games last season? Don't get why people do this 3 game ****, players are in and out of form and fitter than others... Hazard and Sterling have been better than Kante but they didn't cost 89 million did they

 

I know, I haven't made any statements other than Kante has looked better so far.....
By no means am I over reading into that.

 

Sorry for you but so does near enough everybody else.

 

How many have you asked

 

Shh
Uncle Tom Cobley and all

Classic biased nonsense from Nicholas.

 

What an absolute twat!
As for Chelsea, I'm not really impressed with what they've done and they haven't really been convincing so far

3 wins out of 3, not really sure how much more convincing we could have been, considering its only 3 games in.
Kante has completely changed the way our midfield operates, and Batshit looks like a decent signing too.
Time will tell with Luiz.

But is he high? Arsenal? Mustafi is a good player, but Perez is 50/50. Scored a semi decent return in France, but this aint France. He is way more of a gamble than Luiz is, who is PL proven and a CL winner.

 

Exactly. We've been a lot more 'convincing' then Arsenal so far. We're also got a team of proven C.L and title winners. Arsenal have a team of annual bottlers!

 

The title this season is for Man utd to lose. they now have a manager who is second to none and can be a force to be reckon with and could win the title by 10 points or more. Its in their hands....

 

Agreed with Jose's title, but the total points might be lowest ever. This will be one tough season.

 

Nope, the points will have to be around normal or even higher.
People go on about Leicester winning the league last season because the top teams didn't perform, I say bullshit. Leicester had a decent points total for winning the league, does this mean every team in the league didn't perform?
The league has got better and more competitive so any team that wins it will have to get a high points total and will deserve it.

 

Stan, just re-read your post and my reply. Think we meant the same thing but my defence of Leicester got the better of me, my **** up. sorry

 

mate.

I see a classic Jose 1-0 or 2-1 tomorrow. What do you think?

 

Bit worried to be honest, I think 2-1 is the most likely outcome but have a feeling it will be for City.

 

I would script - Zlatan first goal and Rashford second goal on the counter when City is chasing the game.
Then consolation from KDB for City.

Zlatan will have lot to play for tomorrow. KDB will have something to say as well.

Hey atleast Lawro agrees with me about 1-0 for you guys

 

I think neither manager will be willing to risk a loss, and believe me, when Pep is against a team he feels are equal (or close to) his, he knows how to shut a game down as well as Jose. I just think being at home we may be a little more adventurous and pay for it.

 

the circumstances will make Jose more adventurous, otherwise it will be typical Jose from the get go.
No Aguero
Fernandinho only to protect the suspect City Defense.
Otamendi (Cross pond trip for WCQ) and Kolarov for CB.

On the other hand
Jose will have your back 4 in top condition.
Fellaini & Pogba will shield your back 4 better
Rashford will start over Mata giving lot of pace to go with Zlatan.

 

Kolarov and Stones for City CBs, we will probably be missing Valencia at RB because he doesn't fly back to Manchester until Friday.
If Rashford gets a start it will be in place of Martial, I wouldn't mind Lingard starting in place of Mata for this one to cover the pace of Valencia on the right.
