What I don't understand is...why are people saying that Suarez was superb (even the Scouts) and would have got 3 BPs under the old system, etc? He is a striker and a striker's main job is to convert chances into goals. Suarez had loads of chances and didn't score therefore he was anything but "superb".
Even the ones that were credited as Ruddy saves - Suarez made it too easy for him and Ruddy is not a great keeper.
Given the same chances, the likes of Hernandez, Aguero, Van Persie and Torres would have got a hattrick.
He is a good all round player but he's not a clinical striker - you can see why none of the big clubs seemed to be in for him now.
He was actually really impressive throughout the game, hit the framework twice and denied by Ruddy a number of times. Sure, you can say those are missed opportunities, but it was one of those days where luck was just not on his side.
I once saw Rooney miss numerous clearcut opportunities in a game. it doesn't make me think he is shyte, lol. If those had gone in off the bar you'd be saying what a sensational player Suarez is.
I was watching the game in Liverpool with some Liverpool fans and a couple of them, who normally have very red tinted glasses, were starting to turn against Suarez, which was interesting.
Was it due to his performance or the fact he turns into a very unpleasant character when losing?
Performance - the fact he is so wasteful in front of goal and it is costing them points.
While I think a few of his attempts should have had alot more to them overall it was the Norwich defence which denied him. Whenever he was on the ball there was atleast 3 of them around him and since he's a player which relies on dribbling past defenders he didn't have a chance.
Suarez should have done better but Norwich still did an amazing job.
It was one of the most frustrating performances, no doubt about it. Liverpool should've had the game buried, these things happen in football though when the luck can go against you. Those fans would have been frustrated for sure, of course every fan of any team gets upset with players if they miss opportunities some days.
im also a liverpool fan and im getting frustrated with him
hes cost us about 4-6 points this season atleast with his easy,simple misses
we need a torres or hernandes,torres wouldve won us that game on his own
but theres no doubting he's currently our best player
Also both of Van Persie's goals today were very savable, particularly the second one. I'm inclined to give Suarez the benefit of the doubt, for a little while anyway
Your not gving credit to the goalie esp for that last min save or the defender barnett who was marking suarez, i think he had a really good game. Hitting the bar twice just tells you the whole story.It was a bit of every thing and on another day he could have coemaway with a hat trick.not every goal has to be a great goal.
While I think Suarez is a good player it wasn't one of his best days for finishing. He didn't have many shots where it seemed destined to go in beyond the final shot but I think that was mainly due to the Norwich defence; very close and tight making him take weak shot from imperfect angle.
I think against a less organised defence he would have had that extra second to punish them.
dont get rid of rvp, his fixtures are pretty good after next week..
mata or nani to VDV? got sturridge and Bosingwa but no other united coverage.. nani nailed on after today?
VDV and Kompany welcome to my team! VDV due a huge price rise, only 7% ownership at the mo
nani>vdv done. premature but i feel better now.. story of my life ;)..
VDV was a must, watch his price soar!
Glad i did young to vdv now!
Dont like taking point hits and like beating prive rises, only dislike in team (now that bos has no ban) is swp. Was planning swp >>>> larson this gw but having looked around im now thinking walters for stoke the better option.
Any thoughts/advice?
Thanks in advane
my attack is
silva young van der vaart
rooney aguero van persie
thoughts on whether i shud change young to mata/nani?
Hmm, what to do now?
Vorm (Given)
Bosingwa Enrique Kompany (Simpson De Laet)
Silva Mata VdV Kuyt (Dyer)
Adebayor Suarez Sturridge
Planned on getting in Shawcross and Pilkington for Bosingwa and Dyer..do I stick with it and keep Kuyt and Mata? I planned on selling Kuyt later on for Nani after Swansea...stick to plan?
Why?
He has been one of their best lately and his replacement would be Carroll?
Id get rid of De Laet first, take the risk and go with Wilkinson.
Kuyt? lol
Krul - Vorm
Kompany - Bosingwa - Enrique - Simpson - N.Taylor
Silva - Nani - Walters - Petrov - Dyer
Rooney - Aguero - Adebayor
Already used my FT (Woodgate > Kompany). Is it worth taking a 4 point hit by doing Nani > VDV before the price changes tonight? Thinking probably not with United's run of fixtures now but Nani was anonomous today - will he keep his place? Mind you, apart from Rooney, they were all pretty poor.
Really? He wasn't today, was he?
I'm sticking with nani and not jumping on the vdv bw as I have ade as coverage
I have 2 freebies and I was thinking of this
Suarez to Ageuro
And
Simpson to wilkinson
My team is linked all advice welcome cheers
Looks good. Newcastle's fixtures are about to turn nasty. I am still not convinced that Wilko was be first choice long term with Huth and Higginbotham around. He looks poo when I've seen him, but maybe he's improved?
Certainly a bargain whilst he's in the team.
Cheers worth the risk I reckon
As someone who's had Roo, Nani, Young these past few weeks (saw the Norwich fixture and I thought I'd ride out the following 2 or 3), I'm thinking of WCing and clearing at least 2 of them out. Would be my first knee jerk of the season, but Utd look out of ideas creatively, whilst the looks of VDV are bringing home the bacon. I don't mind being patient but they could be in a serious rut for weeks, months like Chelsea were last season. Fixtures matter little if there's no form there.
What's the rest of your team? While Nani & Young are a bit excessive there's no real rush to remove Rooney and Wildcarding could be a bit of waste.
On a side note whenever I read one of your posts it's always in Mark's voice.
anyone else worried about nani after today?
he'll still be uniteds top scoring midfielder this season
A lot of people transferring in City players. I can see pretty much a shadow side playing at home to Wolves. It is just ahead of the villareal away game after all...
im trying to stay away from city. i dont need the worry every game before and after a champions league match on who is gonna play. It may hurt me a couple of weeks but in the main better i pick players who i know will get 90 mins
Yeah. I kinda go along with that. Vincent Kompany is safe but he is about it. And Wayne is about it at united. Just finally ditched ashley young. He really has looked out of sorts of late.
Can see Adam Johnson certainly playing WOL and De Jong. Maybe Dzeko now Balotelli can play in Europe again.
this is true, especially considering the side they put out ahead of napoli last time around. The bench players are quality enough to win that game fairly comfortably. mancini could well keep the stars (silva, aguero etc) on the bench in case of emergency, its a wild guess picking city players for this fixture.
Yeah. Because city havent done so well in CL to date they will be prioritising it through necessity. Can really see a few of them been wrapped up in cotton wool. And then there are the internationals soon after so can see this in 2 out of next 3. I am steering clear...
Up to Christmas after CL games City are away the following weekend and United are at home.
Just to complicate thoughts as to who will do best?
Anyone know if Hutton can get banned for his assault on Shane Long yesterday? Hope the thug gets a lengthy ban
problem is the ref saw it and decided not to punish it so i don't think they can look at it retrospectively (i think that's how it works)
Unlikely, though in FPL value why anyone would have him ahead of Warnock beats me.
People said he would be more offensive......... Of course I know your right now
Rotation worries for City players next week given they have an easy game and a must win in Villareal in midweek? Mancini must be thinking he can win that game with players rested. A strikeforce of Balotelli / Dzeko, as both inpressed today and Aguero just back from injury, would not be a surprise. I also think that Silva may be benched with Nasri starting.
The rotation risk is there, but you still have to have Silva, Kompany, Aguero in your team IMO. Always keep a decent bench, to lower the risks.
Agree, moreso after todays win Mancini will have a sniff of the EPL title.
Yeah I've got those three - see my team above, and an OK bench. I think Aguero will probably start but have a feeling Silva won't.
Silva is a season keeper for me. Bought in at 9.5....no brainer
Yeah, I think Citeh will be rotation nightmare up until the winter break for CL.
My plan from a few weeks back was RVP to Aguero and visa versa the following week...no way I'm doing that now
worth doin mata to vdv tonight? any midweek games i should know about? got 0.5 in the bank.. team will be
Vorm (RuddY)
Kompany Enrique Bosingwa Brown Simpson
Nani Silva Vdv Petrov Moses
Aguero Suarez Sturridge
caring cup but spurs are out
or not caring cup as it should be..
Mata to VdV is exactly the move I will do. Maybe not tonight. Need to sleep on it
Ferguson 5.1???????
Sorry 4.1,but still a rise????????
Ive a shocker last two weeks all red arrows, tactically has anyone got a specific gameweek for wildcard?
What should i do with my last free transfer
1. SWP > Ramsey
2. Huton> Kompany
3. Krul> Given
already did mata >VDV
Do 2 first. 1 the week after and 3 the week after that IMO.
All good moves though
Get Begovic instead of Given, better fixtures coming up.
Keep Hutton he will come good I hope very attacking fullback
Is VDV a better option than Adebayor?
Options are basically:
A) Rooney, RVP, Adebayor + Ramsey
B) Rooney, RVP, Zamora + VDV
What do people reckon?
I wouldn't worry about that, if I had Sturridge in my team I'd be keeping him even after today.
Sturridge was sacrificed for Ivanovic as they needed a right-back once Bos got sent off (had Bosingwa and Sturridge..pricks)
Nothing to worry about really, only thing is you will get him cheaper
Oh I see, my bad.
So better off doing Ade > Sturridge than Nani > VDV?
How serious did Mata's injury look?
Not too serious, just a knock to the chest or arm, sub was going to happen anyway and was sped up because of it. Walked off looking fine.
Oh ok sweet, just read (goal.com of all people) that didn't even mention the injury and that he was taken off because of Drogba send-off ๐
How would this sound
Vorm
P Jones | Enrique | Simpson | Naylor | 4m
Nani | VDV | Silva | Sinclair | Ferguson
Rooney | Aguero | 6.7m
Worth a 12point hit
well i pulled the Vandwagon trigger, had to swap gerrard,hope i dont regret it.
boy do i love chasing points lol
i put VDV in 3 weeks ago, always happy when i transfer pays off like that! 9.7m well spent
plus that 9.7 quickly becoming 9.8, then 9.9... ๐
I was on it 3 weeks ago
43 points in his last 4 games..welcome!
please, call it the vaart kart
am thinking
RVP -> Aguerro next week to grab Agueros WOL fixture
Aguero -> RVP week after to grab RVPs WBA fixture
madness or genius?
depends if you're happy with the rest of your team - if you dont want to make other changes, then sure. Aguero may be rested though. Also you never know when you might need that transfer for someone else.
there is no other absolute pressing transfers, and i would captain aguero next week, captain rvp the week after
i think i'll wait until friday. if no injuries, i'm gonna go for it
he who dares
madness
why?
i would have enough to get him back
not fussed about losing 0.1, points are more important, and the value will naturally follow
It's what I was planning all along, Roversnick, ever since I got in RVP in GW4.
The possible Aguro resting is freaking me out though. Surely Dzeko and Balo acn take care of Wolves with Aguero rested for CL.
shawcross
probably shawcross. united have good fixtures too but i think jones/smalling etc may be rested occassionally.
No keep him, hell only miss CC game. But if you really wanna do than Shawcross
Yeah he will only miss CC game, but the thing is Chelsea cant keep a clean sheet.
Im doing Bos > ShawX if that helps!
So many people transferring R Taylor in, have they seen his fixtures? Brave.
Evening lads,
i'll get straight to the point, had a crap week, 29 points, pre-bonus obviously, and currently 730,905th place, i am devastated after not captaining RVP when i did last week! about as shocking as united's score! ah well, my question is where would you improve the main body of this team barring subs, (they aint my priority as of this moment)
Given
Enrique - Simpson - Jones
Nasri - Mata - Gerrard - Walters
RVP - Suarez - Sturridge
Im defo getting Torres back in, but what are thoughts on nasri? ship out? he's my only man c cover though, not a regular starter?
Any susggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated (p.s. well thought i was in the points this week, how wrong, how wrong ๐ )
i wouldnt get torres for a start
rvp, suarez, aguero, rooney, adebayor, even balotelli hav great fixtures coming up. no room for fernando
leave torres for the moment, ship out nasri and maybe spend the gerrard money wiser. Also phil jones for me is not a guaranteed starter so id look at shawcross or huth at the moment. Think villa's fixtures take a turn for the worse soon so look at who you are rotating with given.
Cheers lads.
Well i cant change much really, got gerrard this week and sticking until his nice fixtures are over, im jsut a huge beleiver in torres, and love having in my team, at my own expense though i guess, but taking ure advice into consideration, thanks a lot, plus i only have 1 free transfer so i;m only willing to take 1 hit from now on for a while if need be.
Cheers again though ๐
huth? i wouldn't call him a guaranteed starter
gw 6 played 8mins
gw7 played 58mins
gw8 played 0 mins
gw9 played 0mins
John Terry racist? I hate him but I don't think he did anything here
