Damn, we're not joint top now. Title race with Everton and Chelsea sounds tasty.

Disagree Stoke looked more likely to nick a goal in the end and Torres offers you absolutely nothing upfront.Ted wrote:Jeff wrote:Undeserved.

Will Torres ever be a great striker again? Looking less and less likely by the day.

So because they looked likely to score a goal at the end that means they were the better team overall? I agree Torres was pretty shit today but thats neither here nor there, we had more shots, more shots on targets, 13 corners, and 58% of possession. We were the better team.

It's very American to base the entire game on stats.

Its the only way to objectivly evaluate the game, theres a culture of fear surrounding stats in football which is stupid because they exist for a reason.

Sure he was. He was the focal point of Liverpool's attack when Liverpool were still contenders. He had pace and imagination.Bushido wrote:menalawyerguy wrote:Will Torres ever be a great striker again? Looking less and less likely by the day.

Also the ref was dodgy as fuck, Oscar should have got a pen and there was a bunch of other fouls he let Stoke get away with.

Stoke without a win still, lovely.

I didn't watch the game but people often say shit like "undeserved" purely because Stoke are not on Chelsea's level so even being close to Chelsea on the day people seem to think they deserve to win.

Apart from hitting the crossbar they never really came close to scoring.

Also if United or someone had won this game everyone would be praising them and saying that winning like that is the stuff of champions..

In your title winning seasons I remember a lot of crap games that you narrowly scraped, you can't win them all by 3-4 goals like Everton..

They pretty much did just win a game like that in the middle of this week. IIRC, most United fans were highly critical of the performance.

That's what SKY and the BBC say. I agree with you.

Poor Chelsea. United fans should redirect their "Always the victim" chant.
