Premier League match discussion thread | 2014/15

I think a point is fair and I would've taken it at the start of the game. Could have been 3 if not for the poor officiating.

At home maybe...not away.

We'll beat them comfortably away, too. Watch.

Lost money + Arsenal coming back from 2-0 to 2-2

Arsenal won me over £100 last weekend, so I'm still very much in profit

Like I said, 2 teams I dislike both drop points, it can only be good news.

Liverpool beat us in pre-season too, but you don't see them bragging about it.

We beat you 3-0 in a competitive that resulted in us winning a trophy. They scraped through a shoot out in a pointless preseason match played half way across the world.

Pretending you dislike Everton just to put a positive spin on this result. So sad

Am I reading this right? A Liverpool fan pretending to dislike Everton? That would be like me accusing you of pretending to dislike Spurs

I only dislike Spurs when they challenge us for something. Hence why I didn't care about them at all last season.

Everton have finished above us twice in the last 3 seasons.

I was rooting for the Gunners, Everton are much more relevant in our chase for toptable inferiority.

Yeah challenging you for 7th-6th is really something   

Spurs already 3-0 up against QPR. 1 more goal, they'll be top of the League.

QPR bottom of the league where they belong. Would be lovely if they got utterly spanked by everyone like their last PL season.

The LVG genius continues. Sunderland 1-1 Man United.

An even worse start than what Moyes managed, with easier fixtures too. Under Moyes, their first 2 games were Swansea away and Chelsea at home.

Two games in the middle of an injury crisis might not be the best way of judging him.

Excuses. United are just painfully average now. The sooner you accept that, the better.

Then why does it seem like you're faulting LVG?

Because he is.

So average they have more world class players than Liverpool...who have none.

It's not always about individual talents. It's about the team. We showed that last season.

It's a pretty shit argument, anyway. I'd rather have Sturridge (24) scoring 20+ open play goals than an ageing (31, ffs) RVP, who's injured half the season and only scoring around 12 goals, including penalties. If that means having 1 world class player less, so be it.

In fact:

I'd have Sturridge (24) over RVP (31), based on their respective forms over the last season and what I said above.

I'd have Balotelli (24) over Rooney (28), because I think Rooney is extremely overrated. Most United fans are saying he shouldn't even be starting.

I'd have Coutinho (22) over Mata (26), only due to the way we play, which is a bit too high-paced for Mata, and Mata doesn't suit our pressing game.

I'd have Sterling (19) over Di Maria (26), for this season at least, as we don't know how well Di Maria will take the the PL (See Ozil's underwhelming first season, even Keyser is pissed off with him), and we don't know just how good Sterling may become, plus he's settled here.

Who else have they got that's "world class"?

I'd take De Gea (23) over Mignolet (26).

That's it.

(I have bracketed the ages, because I also really like how young our best players are, which means they're yet to even hit their peak).

True.

Wait, you'd take Balotelli over Rooney...and your reasoning for that is that Rooney is overrated...?

Sterling over diMa, who was MOTM in the CL final last season, and Real Madrid's best player in the second half of the season...? 

Coutinho over Mata...? mfw
