Rival Watch Thread Watch

in fairness to utd their list is huge.... which you also have to ask... luck or training method change too fast to harsh.

 

Well didn't you lose Smalling today? It's a slippery slope and players will be still adjusting to new training regimes etc. It's more to your CM and CB you can not afford 1 or 2 long term injuries as neither Cleverly or Fletcher are good enough.

 

No. 64 according to ss news and guardian

 

Utd have a lot of injuries at present, but the question must be asked even if those players were not injured would they make that much difference?

I think they would, they would bring Utd back to the same standard as last year. They would not make them title contenders. They need to sign at least 4 top class players to achieve that, and this would not include Di Maria. He is not what they need.

 

More pressing concern in tottenham imo. Squad a bit more settled, good manager and they could go 6 points clear after playing us.

 

Not fussed. If they finish ahead of us then we will have ****ed up big time. Our squad is far stronger and their strikers are Ade and soldado ffs. Today they beat relegation fodder at home. Really nothing to write home about

 

They've fluked wins against West Ham and Limassol, and had a good home perfromance against QPR. Give them time to bottle it yet.

 

Lahm wins the World Cup and retires from international football.

Di Maria wins the Champs League and retires from European football.

 

He knows he'd walk in and be a 1st team regular

 

yeah its like ozil.. both men have left the "big league" and want to be big fish in small ponds... on big big wages

 

As opposed to Balotelli who wants to be a medium sized fish in a puddle

 

Messi off the mark for Barca.

Not great defending, but awesome first touch on the half turn, opening space and finding bottom corner.

so so good when on form.

Mascherano is then sent off 2 minutes later tripping forward when he was last man! Such a good player, but still not a CB.

 

I keep hearing Di Maria is one of the best players in the world? No denying he's very good but of the top of my head I can think of..

Hazard, Neymar, Robben, Ribery, Bale, Ronaldo who are all better than him in virtually the same position.

 

di maria is better than hazard and prob on a par with at least ribery if not robben

 

Dont forget Raheem!

 

Wasting your time Dave, this is too hard for them to understand

 

must try harder.. that reply is barely a whimper

 

I said this earlier, said the idea that Di Maria is 'World Class' is not true, given that that should be reserved for players like Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez, Neymar, Muller, Lahm etc. The truly best players in the game today who produce almost every game and win games almost single handed.

This concept was alittle too much for some of the Mancs.

Di Maria is perhaps the next level down, very good but too inconsistent for the World Class tag.

 

Barcelona with 82% possession with 10 men

Balotelli just want`s to be loved, he saw the way they treated Suarez and thought "that`s for me"
