We play city next week and not one united fan on here could tell me honestly what fergie's best 11 is or who will play vs city especially in midfield we are in december and that's trouble that we've had so many different combinations all over for once i'd like to see the same 11 for 3-4 games in a row if possible obviously injuries could play a part in that.

I don't even watch city and i'd get atleast 9 out of 11 of their starters right for next week.

7 points off the relegation zone too. Boom, reality check.

I thought Young was good in the first half but when Anderson went off, the whole team went to shit.

Fletcher worked hard but it's understandble he will struggle at times, evra is good going forward, smalling was composed, jones did ok but why was he playing were he did, ando was good till the obvious injury he was bound to get and those are Positives for you

Anyone who watched it would agree if they had any football sense and i'm happy with the dodgy 3 points we keep getting but the performances jesus christ could they move the ball any slower it's like watching zombies at times.

If playing that way puts you at the top of the league then Liverpool need to start playing like zombies

Seriously though will agree that Man U have been poor but honestly they have been on the decline for a few years now. Frankly the shit performances are just happening much more frequently and are much more noticeable now than ever. Wouldnt surprise me if come May they win the league though despite being poor.

We'll concede at least 4 next week. Guaran-damn-teed. I'm saying 5-2. Dzeko to score a hat-trick of headers.

Any word on Anderson yet?

The thing is man utd are poor by their own high standards but the rest of the league are still not good enough to overtake them

I agree although we had some cracking performances last year. but 10/11 season wasn't great apart from a few berbatov shows, 09/10 rooney was awesome and we played some good stuff that year in certain games (vs milan, gunners, bayern, city in the cup) valencia was on top form but it was quite rigid if i remember correctly unlucky to lose league like. But yeah it is more noticeable this year injuries i understand you can't help (maybe the medical staff can) but it all boils down to the inability to improve the CM's and move on from past partnerships for example carrick/fletch today it's not 2009 anymore i can't think of another top prem team that has had the same cm's for 4-5 years with the exception of cleverley.


Silent young had that one back heel and maybe one cross but other than that he just did all the simple stuff because he's either shit scared to take someone on or he simply can't. funnily enough his best attribute is defending/covering evra.

Spot on peep. chelsea, pool and arsenal have declined so the only threat is from city.

Hamstring, apparently. 4 weeks is the word going around.

I remember being on this place in the 10/11 season (I believe it was that one) and saying that Man U had been pretty poor at times and that I felt teams like Chelsea had performed slightly better despite being lower in the league. Just had slightly less luck (in hindsight luck was probably a bad word to use) but still praised them for showing champions spirit and yet people had a go at me for it saying stuff like 'how can the 1st team in the league be worse than those lower than them makes no sense. Your just a Bitter liverpool fan' Granted I was fresh in these threads at the time. Bet I could say that now and get away with it

But yeah you guys really do need a new CM. How many more seasons are you gonna hold onto Fletch, Carrick and Scholes? Carrick isn't THAT great, Fletcher unfortunatly might not be as reliable due to his illnesses and well Scholes retired already . Getting Kagawa was a good move but you really do need more and there is a good wealth of Mids in Europe alone that Man U could easily get for a decent price. Hell cash in on Nani and that alone could easily fund a new CM
