Pleased to listed to Sean Dyche giving a diplomatic finger to the Moneyball that is the BPL.
Manchester United and Manchester City are two teams worth £750m*, and realistically the only competition they have a shot of winning this season, is the FA cup.
Poor.
*no idea how much they're worth, just know it's a lot.
You're tedious.
I'm right though, aren't I?
pellegrini and mourinho came to teams in better shape than LVG did
Don't understand this comment.
whats not to get? Lvg had the toughest task at his new club
No
What else can they win?
Come on, neither are going to win the PL, or the UCL *
*applies to city only, United aren't in the UCL
It's a fair point Mupps. Probably a little harsh on United given they have no European football to play and racked up injuries in the league but still you'd think they'd be more competitive.
How so? We've just lost our entire world class backline in one shot and are bedding in new players and a new manager. It's transition. Simple as.
You should be making the transition a bit smoother 😉
But that's not down to LvG. At least you can't pin it on him right now. We screwed the pooch last season and are still paying the price.
I never said it was down to LVG. Though he has his share of the blame
Why didn't Long pass to Tadic. Arse.
Tadic is so unselfish that he'd have passed the ball back to Long if he got the ball.
At least he would get the assist 😆
Is Carlos Sanchez nailed?
guys is that worth doing ?
ivanoic welbeck ulloa -8pts
yun agureo Naismith
Hell no, find another way to fund Kun
You're on the right track w/ Yun though,
No.
Keep Ivan and Welbeck.
Lose Ulloa.
Find the money elsewhere if you really do want Aguero.
Van Gaal seems like an idiot who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room when he talks
Agreed. Talk a load of old tosh...
And he's got Donald Trump's hair.
True. It is a timeshare
See below. I agree.
Blagging it.He's looking less like a visionary and more like a nutter with each passing week.
Given the same size chequebook and support I think Moyes was better
You're having a laugh.
Well Van Gaal did have the worst ever start in the premier league. After having spent a vast amount of money. Moyes didn't spend very much and did better
Moyes took a team of champions and turned them into chumps. LvG has now been tasked with rebuilding the squad and their confidence.
It's not comparable. Moyes was pure sh!t in every way.
your talking cack dude, fergie let the United team get to that stage, didnt replace ageing players, made some crap transfers towards the end ipof his tenure and Moyes became a fall guy.
Exactly
Absolutely Fergie is largely to blame. But Moyes was never good enough.
moyes wasnt given a chance, what did they expect, someone to come in and clean up that mess in 6 months. remember that Fergie himself had a shite start but got a good shot at it, Moyes never, he was treated shockingly.
anyway got to shoot, didnt want involved in a debate.
Moyes took over a squad which was not very good and was held together by an inspirational RVP and exceptional manager. He was undermined from day 1 by lack of support in the way of signings and then by the players. If he had been given the same budget and support he would have been able to put more of "his" players in and would have been a more powerful figure in the dressing room. I fail to see how LVG is doing better.
Such bullsh!t. He was a trainwreck from the word go. Took an extended vacation expecting to waltz in and sign Fabregas and Ronaldo. Utter farce.
I seem to remember LVG took an extended break after the world cup too and was therefore responsible for not making signings early enough in the summer and therefore responsible for utd gelling as early as they could which in turn led to utd starting this season even worse than last yr.
No. He didn't.
Maybe I am wrong on that one I just thought there was a reason for the lack of signings made before the season started. Maybe it was just the US tour
please don't compare luke shaw to bale. 🙄
obviously Shaw isn't as good going forwards, but didn't bale used to be a LB?
Baines over Bale
for England? Or to be compared to Bale? Shaw is much more like Bale, but Baines probably the better choice for England at the moment
could happen but I cannot see it. English players already too over-hyped, let's not start comparing him to anyone of bale's class
Indeed. Although I don't see Shaw being shifted to the wing any time soon. He's a solid fullback.
Only because Arry didn't realise what he had
do you remeber when bale had a streak of 20 or something games without a win?
it was great 😀
24 games in the span of 2 years... and then he signed for Real Madrid
24 w/o a win really? Didnt remember that though.. What i remembered was him winning it for spurs everytime.
@SW6
How much did you stake? My advice is hedge your bet.
Put say 50% of what would be your net winnings on Spurs/draw. You win no matter what
Just aware that Di Maria was subbed off 20 minutes before the game finished. 😯
He's a candidate for downgrading to allocate fund for Costa then.How he took ADM off and kept RVP on only LVG knows
Ugh. Bizarre. For Wilson no less.
If Moyes was as cocky as LvG, and said he had a plan which would take 3 years to execute.
He'd have been put on the stocks.
Why are people so infatuated by this chubby chap?
History.
He has a filosofeeee... ehe ehe *beavis and butthead giggle*
it's like balotelli, if he didn't do the stuff off the pitch and wasn't seen as a character, he would be playing in the championship
Agree
*tumbleweeds*
A track record buys you time.
Went UP 600 places to 1.1k even though I had ADM captain. 😯
51 points with Siggy and Chambers left, I'll take that.Forgot about Baines too. 🙂
Good job mate great rank
Nice pal. keep it up
cheers lads 🙂
Keep it up mate
So is Luke "Gareth Bale legs" Shaw, he of 2 assists in 3 seasons, an option as Clyne replacement?
No way.
do you trust him over christmas? he'll eat a whole turkey
😆
Fat git
Just spat my coffee on the scrren there
Cheers
Does LvG even know his best side?
Di Maria looks totally ineffective now that he is supposed to be playing wide.ADM needs Falcao,
The problem United have is that LVG is choosing players first, formation 2nd, when it should be the other way around.
Spot on.
What would you say Utd's best formation is?
I think a 442 diamond with two defensive midfielders.Formation comes last. He's choosing the wrong players right now. Although we still need to get shot of quite a few and bring a few in TBF to him.
#MOYESIN
hard to discuss di maria as he is simultaneously getting lucky and unlucky imo. 3 goals 5 assists of which 3 of the assists were filth, another was a looping ball which was no danger until fellaini plucked it out the sky and outrageously made it an assist, and today where a keeper howler made his little ball to mata an assist too. plus his first goal of course.
BUT, every time i watch him he's whipping in crosses and corners or releasing van persie with crazy arcing through-balls/dinks which are all assist worthy. really think there is so much more to come assist wise, but maybe i'm falling into the trap there of trusting the man utd strikers to do what ronaldo/benzema/bale/messi/higuain/aguero do for his other clubs. his europe leading 17 opta assists last season was even more impressive as he only got 2 in madrid's first 16 league games
Di Maria is a class act. He tries to take as many corners and set pieces as possible. His crosses are pin-point too. With Falcao back Utd will shape up better.
I'm more concerned about his goal threat. His only shots at goal seem to be long shots. I seriously don't think he's worth it on assist potential alone. United just aren't scoring enough goals to justify such an expensive assister.
Lets see after Stoke and Hull at home.
With the way United are playing at the moment I don't think 'easy' fixtures will solve the problem.
Good points. For now, I enjoy his another "lucky" assist today. 🙂
Was it lucky? I thought it was legit. Don't get me wrong, he will get plenty of genuine assists this season but I don't believe he will get enough to justify his price.
Great point! Ramsey or Walcott might be potential replacements since they like to score rather than assist.
Just brought him in for a hit yesterday. Good things to come.
Totally agreed about his lucky assists and his dangerous crosses.
Your reference of his last season stats reminds me of Ozil.
The fact that he was subbed off early today and United attacking quality made me seriously considering to scarify him for getting D.Costa.*sacrifice
I've thought this in the first few games alright but at 10m I don't think he's worth the price over the other mids. Hazard though. Can't believe how that guy isn't rolling in FPL points
At the start of the season I thought he was going to be another Modric, i.e. class player but no use in fantasy land as he's generally just assisting the assister. He's proved me wrong so far but I do think he's slightly overpriced and is the one I'm currently most seriously considering downgrading to find the funds for Aguero.
Downing looks like the best West Ham option with Carroll back. Might downgrade Di Maria or Fabregas to him and upgrade Welbeck to Costa.
looked a big threat going off the highlights
It'd be funny if Carroll turned out to be the best pick after his endless let downs...but then that's where Downing came in...Funny old game Footy...
Bego (Myhill)
Clyne, Baines, Cahill (Hutton,Wisdom)
ADM, HAz, Siggy, Sanchez (Boyd)
Costa, Pelle, Naismith
Finger on the trigger for...??
A - Cahill/ADM/Naismith OUT Dummett/Wanyama/Aguero IN (-4pts)
B - Cahill/Naismith OUT Dummett/Austin IN ??Downing looks class for West Ham.
No points but I'm happy to own.How did he not get an assist today?
At least he's got plenty to aim for
Welbeck bound to score against United?
Wouldn't say bound really, maybe hungry, determined?
having a mini party for aly cissokho's first ever bp
still makes me lol
whatever 'i'll jab you in the gabber mate' means i'm a fan
This day will go down in history
Pelle->Kun
ADM->Chadli
Free. Done.
Feel more relaxed now I have the best player in the league. Now for the obvious hammy injury during the internationals.
Ideal.How can you buy Sakho with Caroll back?
Buy Downing
I did try to point that out last week....He's become an instant iffy pick..a good one, but still iffy.
was undroppable in previous form. if he does bad carroll will be a bigger threat, but no one will have bought thinking he'll do bad
Carroll sucks and Sakho has been great. No reason Carroll should get his place back. West Ham has played their beat football for years without him.
Indeed. If he drops Sakho for Carroll he should get the sack immediately.
he hasn't brought nolan in yet so i think there is some hope that he wont throw carroll in undeservedly right away. nolan and carroll were his undoubted favourites, plus the carroll price tag bearing down on allardyce
Foster - Krul
Baines - Clyne - PVA - Naylor - Coloccini
Hazard - Eriksen - Downing - Siggy - JWP
Costa - Pelle - Rooney
Should I just wildcard? Aguero seems essential.
Can you not just do Pelle to Austin and Rooney to Aguero?
I have Pelle, Costa and Fabregas, who all have 4 YC. This week I'm looking at downgrading Henderson (5th mid), is it smart to do Henderson > Jedinak now then Jedinak can fill in for games those 3 miss, then once yellow cards clear up swap him to Boyd/Sanchez? or is it easier to do it to Boyd/Sanchez right now?
😯
Oh.. I just realised that Costa got 4 too.
If this was your front 8 in GW13, who would you bench?
Fabregas(sun), Oscar(sun), Sterling(STO), ADM(HUL), Downing(wba)
Aguero(sou), Pelle(MCI), Austin(LEI)
Perhaps Pelle or Fabregas will get their 5th yellow next GW to save me a headache if my transfers get me this team! 😛sterling
Ryan mason or rolando aarons?
haha, Neville saying "best squad of players he's ever seen from a west ham team".... forgetting about the team that won england the 66 world cup then 😉
Maybe he never "saw" that team
This West Ham team is pretty good to be honest?
And who else can you name from their 60's team apart from Moore, Peters and Hurst?errr..one more surely...
Who?
Too early for Brooking and Best.
They weren't that good.
that was the redknapp story which i thought was quite funny. said something like we had moore hurst and peters yet still only ever came about 12th, how bad must the others like me have been
apparently that west ham team was pretty poor
He wouldn't have seen seen them in 66!
I don't think he was born then.
Want to upgrade Tadic after Villa and funds will be no issue. Head says Sanchez but heart says Walcott
Head might say Walcott after tomorrow too.
a) Baines----> STaylor
b) Cesc----> Chadli
c) Di Maria---> Chadli
If I want to find money for Pelle---->Costa, which one is better?
c
Do you reckon Mourinho is only saying that Fabregas played through injury so he doesn't have to join up with the Spain squad?
Probably
i think possibly to protect him a bit from criticism of how open chelsea were today in midfield
And if he really had a niggle that necessitated a break he would have taken the yellow today.
