Mourinho: United players need to be more like Ashley Young.

He means that they need to dive more.

And shave their heads? I don't see Rooney giving up his luscious locks too readily having paid so much for them?

Has there been a noticeable lack of diving in/around the penalty box this
season by Man Utd ??

If so, Jose may have a point.

So Capoue's apparently a 20 goal a season player, who knew?

at United, at Mourinho, specifically.

 

[D.G.C.]

Man City, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool top four at the end of the season but not necessarily in that order.

Taxi for Mr Hughes?

 

[D.G.C.]

So, EVERYBODY'S thrashing Stoke indicating that they were more bad than Spurs were good per se. So, let's give Sunderland a good beating.

 

[The RDBD]

Cannot see Stoke surviving with Hughes in charge.
And the Spanners have an immediate batch of "6 pointers" with the teams around them.

Can't stand the guy but admire what he's tried to do there. Can't lose 4-0 to Palace though, think he's got to go for that alone.

Capoue - goal machine, who knew

Tbf, Capoue had two different periods where he looked like a top class DM for Spurs. I never had any doubt he has it in him. The problem is that he interspersed it with two periods where he didn't turn up. And Chadli could always produce goals. It was his unwillingness to play his part in the system that made him marginal.

 

[D.G.C.]

Could be Hughes' last shout as a coach in England or at least in the PL.

Marc Wilson suggested that Stoke don't work on defending in training and was subsequently drummed out of the club.
Hughes denied it, but it really does look like it this season, doesn't it?

Andros Townsend subbed off with five minutes to go.
MOTM today, for me. Very impressive performance.

Everton are neck and neck with CIty for the best team so far. And they have the talent and the manager, I think, to keep it up. I'm not sure about their depth, but with no Europe it may not be much of a factor.

It's the lack of depth and the new coach effect which makes me discount Everton for top four.

 

[PleaseNotPoll]

Nice finish by Arnautovic, if rather irrelevant.
It does mean that our recent beating of them is their most emphatic loss, though.
Four losses on the bounce. 4-1, 1-0, 4-0, 4-1. Not great, is it?

Yet this new manager effect doesn't seem to put you off City

I've already said that they will falter but I think they will make top 4. Koeman is no Guadiola.
