So Joe Gomez is about a month away from training - any opinions in him? seems to be hyped up a bit - I dont recall being too blown away from his decent brief showings last year.

He was playing out of position last season though.

He was terrifically solid at the back, athletically gifted, and had a great sense of positioning. But going forward from fullback was very poor. Can't blame him, he's just not an attacker, and isn't left footed, so kept losing the plot a bit once he got past the halfway line, turning in onto his right foot to offload, and killing attacking momentum.

But as a CB, if he can recover fully from his injuries, he looks a great option for the future. It's very rare for a centre back to be at that level at that age - normally start coming into their own at more like 23 or 24. He's still only 19.

Who do Burnley have that Flanno cant get a game?

He played against Accrington Stanley in the cup and didn't have a good game. I'd imagine it was down to match fitness. Full backs are Stephen ward and matt lowton ex villa.

Flanno hasn't played football in ages consistently, I'd say he needs to get his fitness up before Burnley use him.

I missed the game at the weekend, so I am dying to see us tomorrow night now.
Chelsea are going to be tough but I think if we keep pressing them and move quickly we can casue them trouble.
My concern is that if the win the ball and get it up to Willian or Hazard, we will be on the back foot and they could hurt us.

Got my wedding tomorrow but you can be sure I'll be catching as much of the match as possible. Leicester was a great performance but beating Chelsea at the bridge would lay down a big marker and show we are title challengers.

It won't imo, we have no problems against the bigger teams as we saw last season, it's the upcoming games against Hull, WBA, Palace & Swansea that will determine how we do this season. These are the ones where we tend to slip up.

Congrats!

Move the meal/speeches crap to 4pm, be done and dusted by 7.30. First dance rubbish then into the bar by 7.45. Have the sausages/sandwiches/cake at 9.35. EZ game. If you are having a wedding without most of that rigmarole, then fair play to you. I tried to minimise it for my own, but it didn't work out that way. At least I had the sense to organise mine (deliberately) for early July in a summer there was no major tournament on

Mine is August 2017 before any premiership matches start and no major tournament on. Happy days

You're not wrong, but there's no doubt that if we could follow 7 points from games against Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester with 3 against Chelsea, the confidence would go through the roof.

That said, you're spot on - 12 points against Hull, WBA, Palace and Swansea would take us much further than 3 against Chelsea followed by a subsequent slump...

Every season we seem to be able to look back at 3, 4, 5 games that you'd expect to win on paper that we managed to draw or lose. To do well this season, we need to cut out those stupid mistakes.

5starpool · 15-09-2016 10:43AM

Be grand, get 15 points from the next 5 games, then 15 points from every 5 games after that. We will probably make top 4 with that form.

Yep, equaling Utd's tally of 20 titles then will be pretty sweet.

Congratulations to you both!

Wedding anniversary today so going for a drink (or two!) tonight in an advance celebration of our victory tomorrow night!

And I may have a drink tomorrow night to celebrate your wedding (I'm sure the invitation is just delayed:P).

Enjoy the day, we'll look after the match thread for you.

Debatable. That would seriously be a deal breaker for me unless she was Rachel Riley or something, which being honest, was always on the less likely side of impossible.

Love his presser's, gives so much more information than he strictly needs to. Always interesting.

Can't believe this week has seen Brad Jones, Yossi Benayoun and Sebastian Coates all playing European football. The latter at the bernabeu no less

martyos121 · 15-09-2016 07:52PM

Brad Jones and Dirk Kuyt, thank you very much.

hadepsx · 15-09-2016 07:54PM

Ata boy kuyt.

Ha, singing a bar of You'll Never Walk Alone too

(i know they sing it too, but it's gotta be an extra stab in the heart for United fans and players there)
