Fiction isn't something that cannot happen. Fiction is something that hasn't happened ... yet. - Myself.

Sturridge > Welbeck and Defoe. Should be picked imo.

Cleverly gets picked for England squad. Welbeck too. But no Sturridge.

Then you would have noticed Torres doing literally everything upfront (except scoring). The problem was the wide forwards did nothing. As to your question, it is a big problem isn't it. One thing I can think of is that it's partly down to them being used to having a Drogba alongside who holds up the ball and brings them into play. With Torres it's not the same obviously.

Did you not watch Stoke away?

Agree with the sentiment but if our current play doesn't improve we're in deep shit. One point though - this squad has regressed since 05. And Utd even without star players (bar Rooney) are a very cohesive unit. City has their stars and tantrums but Mancini is holding it together at the moment.

He's very talented, this boy. We've done well to get our hands on him. Let's hope his potential isn't left unharnessed.

^ How many times will we post that video?

Clever :giggle:

Chelsea > Liverpool. All day, every day, for the rest of eternity.

This is too far off. Fucking international breaks!

Young fetched me some points today.

Yeah we're pretty dire atm, but we still have Arsenal to make us feel better about ourselves.

I hope AvB is watching Arsenal-Manure. Arsenal leaving a lot of space behind their defence and Utd's pace and movement is exploiting it to the hilt.

Quality discussion so far lads. Basically we more or less agree that the midfield fabric is out of touch with the times and ball playing midfielders are the need of the hour.

LMAO I can imagine Carlo raising his left eyebrow as he sits eating pasta watching Hilario get a brainwave.

Meh. We don't mind and haters don't Mata. I'll get my coat.

Gotta love Justin

Yeah Scolari is better than the only guy that dominated Italy and Europe comprehensively in the last two decades. Come on Henrique.

Dunno, Ferguson displayed enough class to not name the player in question. Interesting. I agree with your point about Mikel and Rambo. I'd like us to try out something along these lines ... X X----X---X----X Ramires/Mikel --- Lampard/Josh X ---------Yossi/Josh/*--------------X X * = Modric/Moutinho if they sign, else Mata Good post. You raise some fair points there.

What did he say?

Okay, going off topic, but still. 1. How are we developing Josh by sitting him on the bench? I don't think anyone has asked for him to completely replace Lampard, but surely you must agree that when Lampard underperforms in matches then it would make sense to introduce Josh during the latter stages. 2. We are not asking for Josh to be made 'the most important player' so the Rooney comparison makes no sense. 3. Handing a debut is all well and good, but once potential has been identified, you need to nurture it. Are we really doing that right now?

Is that directed at my post?
