  1. I'd disagree with lack of goal scorers, they do have Memphis, Mata and Rooney in the team after all, all who grab 10/20+ goals in the season.
  2. Maybe Pogba? Which would make sense if we're not signing a new CM this year.
  3. Star right winger, I'm honoured Kevin. I'm the new Arjen Robben, thank you. I will repay you with plenty of stunning goals and assists.
  4. It's incredible really. I actually commend Utd for winning two games they weren't their best in. People need to understand that whilst they aren't playing amazing they are still getting results. They're obviously still trying to click - it'll be interesting to see when they do. If they keep scraping results in the mean time then we've got a serious title rival.
  5. This is fair, I do definitely prefer this over grumpy Mourinho. He did okay today tbf - I was just talking in general.
  6. Hopefully he proves himself out there.
  7. Gone were the days where one used to get excited for a Mourinho presser, he's lost that charm he used to have tbh.
  8. Had we won, Mourinho wouldn't have reacted so badly either.Ergo, this wouldn't have happened.
  9. Of course, but a lot on here aren't doing the latter.
  10. Because that's been the media's focus, so people are concentrating on that.
  11. To me and a lot of others here that isn't the reason why we're defending her and Joe Fearn at all. We're defending it because it's wrong in our opinion. Not because she's popular.
  12. Thank you for this. Very annoying how a lot of people think she's only being defended because she's an okay looking female.
  13. Gohkan Inler going to Leicester. £3m. Wow. Claudio doing some nice business this summer.
  14. I agree that he isn't on Costa's level. Costa is a world class striker, Remy is a good reliable striker that would certainly be able to fill in for a few games as he proved last season.My point was that he does deserve (most of) the praise he gets.
  15. Courtois commands his area very, very well actually. He rarely drops a corner or crosses and comes out very well for them. Not sure what you've been watching but that's definitely a strength of his.
  16. Remy bailed us out on several occasions last year, he deserves to be trusted. He scored crucial goals.
  17. Silva and Sterling are actually very decent at tracking back, and Yaya would definitely have to be more reserved. I still think they need a better DM than Fernandinho because you're right - they will struggle.
  18. Yeah, for me Silva has always been a wide playmaker. Silva - KDB - Sterling. Definitely.
  19. How do you know it's not in Eva's legislation to make a comment like "thank you for the support" and that it's out of her professional job? I disagree. If that was so she would've been fired by the club. She's been banned from training and the touch line because the manager of the team, Jose, doesn't want her there and that's under his jurisdiction, so he can make that decision (which is very unnecessary IMO). Eva however is under the medical team at the club, and if she did violate her terms of contract she would've been fired by now. They both didn't do well but what Jose is doing far outweighs what Eva's done wrong. What Eva's done wrong is go to social media and aggravate the situation. What Jose did wrong is throw a petulant rant on the touch line, being absolutely childish in the media about the whole situation and then banning her (and her fellow physio who were simply just following instructions! From the referee!) from even attending the matches on the sideline or the training ground. It's ridiculous stuff from Jose IMO.
  20. Jose is not her manager though...
  21. She would absolutely not be fired for saying thank you to her supporters at any other company... She didn't do anything wrong, she was doing her job.In the real world there's the law, trade unions etc. No chance she would've been fired.
  22. For me Jose is in the wrong here, yeah Eva has stoked the flames with her FB post but Jose did not have to publicly criticise the medical team especially when it's their job to do exactly that. Apart from the FB post Eva hasn't done anything wrong but Jose has unnecessarily blown everything out of proportion and now every single back page will be dominated by this absolute non story. Disappointed at both of them, but more so at Jose.
