That's a beautiful header. Lukaku will score more goals, a bit like Higuain, against the smaller teams where they're sitting back but Morata is the better player.

Fellaini :)
Everton's current team will get relegated.
Maybe Barton was right about Unsworth being too fat.
Rashford ahahhahaha. Get him in the sea.
Vincenzo Montella in charge of Milan? Lolol.
Lukaku seems to look more like Stormzy with every game.
Soz, Watford xQuote:

It's been about 5 years since we did classic late equalisers.
Hence their classic status.
Fair point.
Why are there 12 minutes of stoppage time in the Everton game?
Paulp Ogba is obviously MASSIVE, but everyone else (not Lukaku) is still better than the balls they have been producing since he got injured.Quote:

Please Rashford, no more corners.
Kante carries this Chelsea midfield and defence. It's ridiculous how much Leicester and Chelsea have relied on him.
I think that's probably the end of the football season as a meaningful thing, other than Arsenal and Liverpool dicing for fifth.
Everton game sounds mental.
We're really average without pog. Herrera is a midfielder who can't attack or defend. Micky is a complete disgrace, he's more cowardly than Di Maria.
Herrera is a shuttler and works really well in a three. Not so much in a two as he's not really specialised enough at anything. I much prefer Mata over Micky T, but I'd like to see Rashford - Lukaku - Martial have a run.Quote:

I genuinely didn't realise he was playing yesterday. When they slated him in the post-match on Sky I was like 'huh?'
It was an odd performance from United, I thought Lukaku and Rashford were actually quite good but the midfield got completely taken out by ours. On that evidence I'm not unhappy with having Bakayoko rather than Matic, even if he blew a few chances.
I think Jose got it wrong yesterday - we didn't have the players to play that system. Pogba instead of Herrera and we might've seen more of the ball.
Is Jose in his little horse phase or is this as good as it is going to get for United under him?
Bilic has gone

Well it is his second season. He's normally murdered the cleaning lady within the next 9 months.Quote:

Part of me hopes he manages to wind up 'Pep' into some kind of capitulation this season but it doesn't look likely.

The Big Sam thumbnail wearing an open neck shirt with loads of buttons undone and a gold necklace is just too good.
Has anyone ever thought that the biggest block of 'BRITISH MANAGERS' isn't 5 clubs not hiring them but the 15 below them only hiring the same 3-4 of them?
Very good point that.Quote:

That shirt was amazing, at least five buttons unused on the collar at least.
And he gets a little dig in about them thinking they're something towards the end. :cool:
I think it can get better for United under Corporate Mourinho. There are still a few positions where the current starters can easily be improved, and obviously making a huge attacking signing would add a new dimension (money spent since 2013 is irrelevant), so he has at least a year until any serious moaning can be directed his way; but after that he could well be under a bit of pressure.
I'm not sure Mourinho will ever make a team that scores as many goals as a Guardiola team does, so he's kind of got to just hold tight waiting for them to fail.
Possibly not (at least with United), but he can make one that doesn't let stupid shit goals in like yesterday and lose the midfield. It's worth remembering that over the past couple of years City have spent almost a hundred million more, and 'Pep' inherited a better side to begin with (or at least the basis of one), so having a MELTDOWN over them is a bit pointless. They would more than likely win the league this season without them in it, so everything just takes a bit longer and costs more.
'A Guardiola side' obviously takes into account that he'll have the best players and the highest budget in the league by miles.
A Mourinho side has never taken that educated guess...
The last time Mourinho had unquestionably the best squad in his league was probably 2006/7.
You were the one who said highest budget, it's not other peoples fault he can only spend it on players from Jorge Mendes, Mino Raiola and Pini Zahavi.
Mourinho features in 4 of the 10 most expensive signings of all time.
I don't know what the Barcelona/Real Madrid balance is but I treat them in my mind as two sides of the same bollocks corrupt franchise.
I see Michael Emenalo has quit. Farewell, we hardly knew ye.
You have got to hand it to Pep with this City side though, that he does seem to have gotten quite a few of these players to another level this year.
Kevin De Bruyne has essentially gone from average-talent winger to some sort of Xavi reincarnation or something, and Silva is kind of the same in that he's quite changed his game, Sterling has all of a sudden got good decision-making, Kyle Walker keeps doing actually dangerous crossing now, and even Stones is looking something like a top level defender these days.
All of these players keep going on about how Pep has changed their lives and they'd probably let him shag their wives if he wants, and noone really seems to be doing much complaining even though the team is essentially full of players who would be a week-by-week starter in any other team but gets rotated all the time in City.
So he must be doing something right in that club. Seems a bit like it was a perfect match in a way, as he has complete freedom and not a few strong Players who are more important than the manager (like Barca and possibly Bayern had).
De Bruyne ended his breakout season with 16 goals and 27 assists in all competitions, and was named the 2015 Footballer of the Year in Germany
'Average-talent winger'
I could do this for literally every player you mentioned but I'll just stop there.
David Luiz gets dropped and Emenalo gets pushed out the door the same day? No coincidence.
Somewhere at home I have one of those war room whiteboards for Chelsea internal politics, like they do in season 1 of the Wire for Barksdale, White Mike and Kintell motherfucking Williamson, but even that doesn't really clear any of it up.
The Telegraph are spinning it as 'a blow for Abramovich', presumably in the same way that if I spill coffee it's 'a blow for the table'.
A few... At least 6-7 positions. We've got a lot of crap in there and Woodward needs to actually get the players rather than haggle over a few million.Quote:
