Another great day for the Blues  Shaky start. Courtois played very well, putting Cech on the back-burner for good I think. Diego Costa provides an offensive threat up top that was non-existent last campaign. |

There are still 20 minutes left to play which ManUre will probably use to win the game in the last minute, but I like how they're struggling against Sunderland.

I can't decide how I feel about Man U. sucking it up again this season. I don't despise them the way I do Chelsea or maybe Man City (who I dream of seeing out of the top 4), so though I'd like to see them ending behind Liverpool again it's sad to see them struggle so greatly. It's like seeing a nemesis no longer able to compete. Kind of pathetic and depressing...

With the Angel di Maria transfer, I am left wondering where we are going to play him?
Is van Gaal scrapping the back 3 already in exchange for a 4-3-3? |

Rooney has been used as a playmaker in the last couple of years, especially since the acquisition of van Persie... Sir Alex and Moyes both were running a 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 with van Persie as the lone striker.
BUT... The major problem is what van Gaal has said all summer. United have too many players at the same forward positions. Rooney can play striker or CAM, but Juan Mata is a true CAM. United's roster under Moyes went all kinds of

Quote HistoryQuoted: United's roster under Moyes went all kinds of That's for sure. Point remains that MU's midfield is all sorts of bad. Cleverly has no imagination, seems to out of position a lot, is always running back toward his goal chasing a man that got by him. Fletcher no longer has any pace, stamina, or touch (or so it seems from first two games).

Good. Let ManU keep throwing money away on the offensive side. As long as they don't reinforce their defense it won't matter much.

Suarez had a great work ethic, was great at uniting the team on and off the field, and is overall a good guy by accounts from his former coach and teammates. He brought no drama outside of the biting (as ridiculous as that sounds). All the great ones are a little nuts. Balotelli is just a b****. Hopefully I'll be eating my words by boxing day, but I don't see it. |

Alonso has hella UEFA CL experience, including a pair of winner's medals, and would have been a good mentor to guide some of the children on the current LFC squad. but he will do well with Bayern, he will stay in that sitting-in role and it will tidy them up when the going gets tough during the business end of the CL knockout stage. ar-jedi |

My read is Man City has the toughest group (E) of the BPL teams.
Group F is probably the next toughest. I'd say Liverpool's (B) and Arsenal's (D) are about equal though Arsenal is stuck going to Turkey again. Chelsea (G) is easily the class of their group. Does anyone know if the BPL and the FA have loosened their policy on re-scheduling league fixtures to accomodate increased recovery time after CL matches? I know all the other national associations are very generous in this way which has traditionally been a disadvantage for BPL sides. |
