Rival Watch Thread Watch

Sure he has. Are you paying balotelli anything? If so .

Only one clubs getting ripped off and has a joke of a player. It.s certainly not united.

 

My choice Balotelli or Badontelli everytime I've watched.

 

'arrys head looks like its about to explode! how red is his face?

 

The only thing more useless than Man Utd's back four is Everton's back four.

Things we already knew but were reminded of:

• Shaw is gash and his price was appalling business
• Lukaku does absolutely **** all YET AGAIN
• Baines is a big game bottler which is why he does nothing for England and doesn't want to play for a top 4 team
• Martinez is a #fraud and now Moyes' defensive training has wore off his is only an unplanned Jagielka screamer out of the relegation zone

 

[*] And you seem to have a very knee-jerk reaction to everything.

Anyway, you can only beat what's in front of you. United did that, against an Everton side that probably did more today than they did against you just a week ago.

 

None of this is knee-jerk. It is the continued expression of well-established behaviour.

 

[*] Man Utd are 4th. Above arsenal, tottenham, everton and liverpool.

 

"the continued expression of well-established behaviour"? I like that Astro, I'm going to remember that and use it myself one day.

 

Having played no one

 

Yeah, I mean it's not like you've played the 3 promoted teams and QPR

 

You've played Swansea, Sunderland, Burnley, QPR, Leicester, West Ham and Everton.

3 of which are promoted teams and only 1 finished in the top ten last year and 2 of which are currently in the bottom 3. I'd expect you to have been at least top4 after those fixtures.
Its down to your ****ty defence that you're 1pt and 1 goal into the 4th spot thus far.

 

The #tacticalgenius is 7 points behind Moyes

 

What this season has shown and what last season showed was the season before means **** all.

On paper weve not had the toughest start but were still ahead of 4 of the sides who were ahead of us for almost all of last season. So its progress if nothing else.

Out of interest, if we did manage to beat chelsea in the gane a few weeks from now, what then? Big task obviously but not impossible.

 

By 1 point

 

Yep. 1 point ahead. A better position than being 1 point behind.

 

Depends who you've played.

I'd rather have played City, Spurs & Everton and be 1 point behind than Burnly, Leicester & QPR and be 1 point in front after 7 games

 

Why? Weve got more points after the games played so far. Thats a fact. It wont change. Youre assuming you will get more points from games against teams weve played. You dont know, not the way youve been playing. You dont inow how we will do against the better sides. Then what?

 

Balotelli was half the price of Sanchez and much less than Lukaku. Falcao's wages alone + loan fee is more than Balotelli's cost of ownership... and they have to pay £40+mill to keep him next year. Not really a fair comparison considering costs.

 

I think that is what he's assuming. Pretty sure I remember last season Rodgers talking about points on the board being more important

 

The fact of the matter is you should of had a better point return with the fixtures you've had, surely you can't argue that? And yes, we should of too (all on paper). We've both however got a win so we'll have to see who kicks on from this, on paper we have 3 very winnable games coming up, and Sturridge should be returning. The table is so tight at the moment that a string of wins can see any team catapult in to a good position so I'm hoping we can pick up some momentum from here on in. Whereas yours can be halted by Chelsea, though nothing is concrete in football.

What's the point in bragging about being 1 point ahead of us though? You looked at your fixtures and expected a far better points return. The top half is now starting to take shape though, just a case of teams now having to get their act together. From a LFC perspective our last two performances have been encouraging.
