Are you for real? You think h is 4 goals at Liverpool and his barca goal are the only things he did for us? The first one to spring to mind was his inch perfect cross for Henry's winner against Sunderland in the last minute of the game when Henry returned for his second spell with us. And you can find tons of examples of him setting up fabregas and Nasri. He had probably the best stats of any player we have had in the last decade.
Must say Chelsea next 3 league games are very hard despite people saying Chelsea got the easiest fixture list out of the top 4. They play, Spurs home, Aston Villa away and Arsenal home. If Chelsea picks up 9 out of 9, Chelsea will deserve to win the title.
March has a lot of big fixtures being played for the top teams, it'll be interesting to see how the table looks in early April.
There's no such thing as easy games. Chelsea do better against sides that come out and play, hence why we have only lost 1/9 against the current top 7 but in contrast we struggle against well organised teams that come for 0-0. If fixtures could be handpicked then Liverpool's are near perfect, especially as pundits seem certain Chelsea and City will be steamrolled at Anfield.
We've led the league for most of the Season, we created the most chances and conceded the least goals. We are currently only a few points off the top. Had we added a TOP striker (Suarez perhaps) and we may have run away with the league already.
I like Ozil when he played for Real Madrid. but then he was with stars. Lets not forget Ozil earlier early performance wasn't overly spectacular.the Media only big him up to take him down.
True. Big games for all of the top clubs and the table could shift around quite a bit still. I had us down to finish third in the prediction league and if somebody had said we'd be four points of the top with ten games to go I'd have bitten their hand off. This season ain't over until the fat lady sings.
Oooh we're so reactionary on here! I think before the season started we knew it was probably between Chelsea and City and I still think it's the case. Got to say I didn't expect Liverpool to be up there too but when you consider that they've played at least 10 games less than any of the other top teams and don't have to think about any cups then their sharpness/freshness is understandable. Before the season started I'd have been happy with finishing in the top 4. Still would despite our flirting with the top spot for a while. Buying Ãzil, whilst awesome, didn't change our squad problems and losing Theo and Aaron have been massive blows. People can say nothing has changed for us but it clearly has. We're a much better outfit this season and but for injuries would have been sh*tting other teams right up. For me, this year has been a welcome step in the right direction. I believe we've a long way to go but for once I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 4 points off top spot with 10 games to go and still in the FA cup is alright with me.
The thing about Wenger is that he brings a pretty decent plan A but that's all he knows. We are in the age of good managers/coaches being able to turn games on their heads because they have plan B,C,D.. hell they can make **** up on the fly, and yes I will use Maureen as the example, love him or loathe him he has that killer instinct Wenger doesn't. For Wenger if plan A doesn't work... well just cross your fingers really tight and hope plan A might still work.
It's just his belief that the team is better off playing one way than a variety. If your playing badly you simply have to 'improve'. He's of the 'better to master one thing than be average at many' mentality. The problem is we dont have enough quality to do this. Barcelona, Dortmund and the Spanish national side are examples of being successful with this mentality though, So it can be done.
Arsenal needs to beat Chelsea if they have any chance of winning the title because Chelsea looks too good.
we need to win ALL of our remaining games, and hope that liverpool win all their remaining HOME games only, so by taking 3 points off Chelsea and Mancity
Third in the PL (four points from the top), Last eight in the Cup and last 16 in the CL. Tell your mates to **** themselves. Man Utd this season are a laughing stock, we are on a course to having another decent season. Frustrating thing is we want more.
