Might be a long shot but does anybody know of any bars in central Amsterdam that would be showing premier league football tomorrow? Off over there in the morning really don't wanna miss the game tomorrow so I'll be dragging the missus to the nearest pub thats showing the Arsenal game!

The globe sports bar will no doubt be showing it.

I was slated the other night for calling the team bottlers and rightly so.

But I feel its a game we should have held onto if we want the league this season. Those 2 points could have proved very valuable come the end.

It just seemed like we all knew we would concede in the closing minutes, I thought we would have learned by now.

Anyway onto tomorrow.

Liverpool have battered City and Chelsea already though both away from home. Klopp is well organised for the big teams. Don't be surprised if they batter Man U tomorrow

Anfield is a cauldron and while its a pity we didn't win, I'd still see the positives in a draw.
While Walcott was poor and still lacks match fitness I do think teams are that little warier of committing too many forward with his pace. Bottom line our two England internationals who came on offered absolutely nothing

Anfield is far from a cauldron.

I suggest you look at liverpools results there in the last 2 years.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with either sentiment, this season they've lost 2 of 16 home games in all competitions. Yes, I am bored!

We have had 4 points go begging against Liverpool alone.

I don't think we've had any times this season where we've pulled out a win at the very end of a match. On the flip side, City have had 3-4 times this season that they've managed to pull out a winner in the last 5 minutes. Could be a sign of a good team, or a team with a bit of luck. This is the type of thing that United used to do all the time.

Afobe scored for Bournmouth, wonder will he progress further now

For a big game both the team and fans are well up for it and they are managed by a real top coach who plays a pressing game. To dismiss them as nothing is madness.

Shearer is a bigger idiot then Giles. Giroud needs to score 30 Prem goals to prove himself but Kane who has scored same amount of PL goals this season is worth 80/90m?...:rolleyes: Scutter!

Can I enter? 2 weddings on the 2nd of Jan 68km apart...attended both. Back to work for 3 days and then Berlin for 2 nights followed by Prague for 2 nights. Engagement party tonight and another wedding at the end of the month.

I hate January when I have nothing on, this has reached all new levels of despair!!!

When coq back I see the team lining out like this

Same back 5

Coq/elneny

Ramsey. Ozil. Sanchez

Walcott

I like it

I think Walcott will become out starter CF when Sanchez is back

Depends who we're playing.
If we need to go defensive then that would be ideal. But you could swap Elneny with Campbell and play Ramsey in the middle for a more attacking option.

Even more options when Jack,Danny and Santi are back.

Thanks Remi! He's taken points off City and Leicester now

There was an article about value of players recently, and a huge part of what players are worth is how young they are. That would definitely elevate Kane's value. Someone could buy him now and still sell him for a decent sum in 3-5 years time.

Surely not 80m as in right now though?! More overhyped English bias crap if you ask me

Satellite Bar in the Leidesplein square is a great sports bar. Watched a Dublin GAA match there a few years ago and they definitely will show the football. Also did 10 shots of Jager for a tenner when I was there. Top notch establishment.

Mickeroo · 16-01-2016 07:48PM

Walcott had some good games up front and will be great to have as another option up front when Sanchez is back but automatic starter ahead of our top scorer? Can't see it happening unless he pulls some serious performances out of the hat.

extra gravy · 16-01-2016 07:52PM

Campbell has to keep his place when Sanchez comes back. Apart from that cracker against City, Theo hasn't done enough to stay in the team.

Campbell offers far more defensive and in build up play. Theo plays best when he's asked to be on the end of things like assisting or shooting. He isn't great at the more technical stuff that Campbell/Sanchez can do.

Huge acid test. We need to come out of the dressing room.

How we miss Coquelin in this type of game.
