GW17: Chelsea GW18: Manchester City GW19: Manchester United

He actually pointed out specifically that his methods aren't necessarily better, just different.

For those in Canada, TSN1 is showing the game.

He has done a good job overall this year, but I think the manager has to recognize the strengths/limitations of him playing the position. Games like last night you don't want him in there. What I think we really need is a high level all-round CB, that we can partner with Smalling when we need...

I think with Rooney getting older, these types of crazy offers (Bale, Neymar, Muller, etc) have much more to do with the board wanting to have someone ready to replace Rooney as the "face" of the club globally, rather then any real footballing reasons. As an example, in the Canadian and US TV...

I can't post the link but the video is up on youtube. If you search for "louis van gaal press conference" and filter by upload date of today you will see it.

Is there any way to change a score prediction? I just accidentally predicted a 3-0 to Wolfsburg. :nervous:

My initial thought was that it's a good thing we got rid of Lindegaard otherwise we might have four keepers in the stands. So here we have a player: Who is extremely young for a goalkeeper. Is playing for one of the largest clubs in the world. Is coached by someone who is regarded as one of the...

Not sure why this didn't get much attention in the press. I guess it's just not a good headline. But it's a much more logical explanation. It never made sense to me that we would bench Mata in favour of Pedro for marginal gains. Is it not entirely possible that we wanted Pedro to play on the...

The whole setup has been very effective. Blind seems to have such a great knack of knowing when to step up and press. Even when the ball gets through Smalling is in great position to gather and clear it. People talk about how Blind might be left behind for pace, but with Shaw, Smalling and...

EDIT: moved to newbie thread

Anyone else think Pereira could start this one? LVG always talks like form is the most important thing and he arguably had the best tour of anyone playing in the front four positions.

Here's what I'd like to see based on form from the tour: De Gea Darmian-----Smalling------Blind------Shaw Schneiderlin------Schweinsteiger Mata----------Memphis---------Pereira Rooney I really think Pereira deserves a start after how he did on tour. I sure hope the team is ready for the first...

That performance and result against Chelsea without Rooney, Falcao or Herrera and an abnormally poor performance from Di Maria . It's not bad at all.

Interesting... I wonder if it will be a diamond with Di Maria at the tip.
