    Easily challenging for the title is probably a bit ott but certainly 10 points better off.

    Don't be silly, we're 18 points off playing probably the worst football I've ever seen us playing over the whole season, if you are trying to say this bunch playing as a unit in a system suited to the players we wouldn't be at most a few points off I'm just not going to take you seriously.

    Sure we've lost 6/7 points alone from going negative against poor teams

    What? When has he complained to the press :confused:

    Were there not a few stories from his agent about him being unhappy?

    Anytime there's been stories (and I can only think of twice), he's come out and denied them pretty strongly.

    Ah lads ffs, Fergie didn't give Chico much playing time either.

    Wrong.
    Fergie loved having at least 3 strikers.
    And in the last 15 years Fergie nearly always had 4 top strikers.

    Yorke cole, sheringham ole.
    Ruud, ole, forlan,
    Ruud, rooney, saha, smith
    Rooney, ronaldo, tevez, Berbatov
    RVP, rooney, welbeck, chico.

    And Fergie made this work some how most of the time, and got success.

    Fair enough, that's your opinion. I think there's a few players there not up to it.

    A simple manager change should change that so.

    Moyes should've recalled Bebe and played him today. One of his crosses would probably take out that plane.

    I laughed.

    Did you quote me by mistake or something? WTF are you telling me this shít for?

    People are pissing and moaning about Chico not getting minutes and using it as an example of Moyes cluelessness. Well people were complaining about the same ****ing thing last season, when Fergie was in charge.

    Fergie gave him plenty of time, but also did it when RVP was lethal and Rooney was in good form too. When Striker #1 and #2 are in good form, you expect #3 and #4 to be kept out of the team.

    Moyes sees RVP horribly out of form, Rooney not much better, our goals scored dropping...and Hernandez, at best, gets 10 minutes at the end of a game when we're closing up shop.

    Big difference.

    Lets hope they both crash safely in a field and no one is injured..

    Yeah there are players not up to it but I didn't say we'd win it, I said challenging easily like what Arsenal and Liverpool are doing, Arsenal have players not up to it and so do Liverpool.

    I'd say 80% of our problem this season has been the system the team are playing, it's outdated

    To say we'd still be a few points off Arsenal if the team were playing a proper system is conversely ott if anything.

    I said about 10 points which is 61. Not too far tbf off when Arsenal are on 63

    You did say easily challenging for the title

    Have to agree. Liverpool certainly have players not up to it but Rodgers has a system that suits the squad and works well. Along with being able to motivate his players and be able to tactically assess matches. United need a manager or Moyes needs some sort of epiphany

    About 27 of the first 40 posts of match thread are from non-United fans. 20+ coming from Liverpool fans.

    I'm avoiding the match thread like Mr. T avoids planes....

    I never go into match threads. The atmosphere is ridiculous in them.
