Pizy

Just what I was thinking. That Liverpool side looks like a midtable team on paper. Klopp has done amazingly well to get these players t raise their levels. Comfortable United win here, I think. On one hand that would be good for us, on the other I want to see Mou squirm...hmmm

Don't see how or where Griezmann possibly fits in United's XI next season. Ibra is nailed on to start every PL match up top. They have Mkhitaryan and Mata who both play just behind and Martial who plays wide. Not to mention signing another striker would kill Rashford's chances. Unless Mou plays multiple players out of position (which he never likes to do) then Griezmann makes no sense. He likes to play with one pure #9 like Drogba, Costa, and now Ibra. Can't see him suddenly changing to a 2 striker system. He would be yet another Galactico, vanity signing who they don't even need. Like Real Madrid they sign big names just because they can regardless of fit.

Completely shut Leicester down. They couldn't penetrate our defense at all. This is the sort of result a world class manager brings. Get in!

We have to pick up the pace. Playing right into their hands and allowing them to boss the midfield if we play like zombies.

Willian and Matic have been abysmal.

Christ, it's like we've regressed into walking speed since the goal. So slow! Hold the ball and play along the ground, FFS!

Loads of pace for Leicester to hit us on the counter with. Luiz and Cahill have to be switched on 100% of the time or they'll get Man City'd.

Michy is gone, surely.

The key is that they've got 2 wingbacks who are natural defenders and also have ridiculous pace. Good as we've been in the formation, Moses and Alonso have always been our Achilles heel. One isn't a defender and the other is as slow as Fabregas.

Weren't they only just above United recently by a point or two? I can't remember.

Spuds were a joke just a couple of weeks ago and about 13 points behind us weren't they? Now only 4 if we don't win today.

More humiliation for Michy today or do we think there's a chance he starts?

Why do you have the fucking MILF hunter as your avatar?

Even if most of this has been bullshit, hasn't it been unquestionably confirmed that he's not with the team in Leicester? Still a huge blow for us if he's just injured.

Hat trick tomorrow?

Maybe it was the same "source" who said Conte was about to get sacked and sent all the betting sites alight.

Which one of you trolls has taken over his account?

Exactly. Good s he is, if he's acting like a little bitch just cash in and bleed the Chinese club dry. £100m and they can have him. Then we go all out in the transfer window getting players to make up for his goals, whether that's strikers or whatever else.

We'd have to either poach a striker who's a standout at a small club or get an older stopgap until the summer. We can't get a like for like in January. Or just work with Batshuayi and hope he kills it. What a headache that Conte didn't need.

Finally got the sense lately that he was happy at the club and in London, too. That's what's most gutting. Imagine what this could do to the rest of the squads morale. Especially if we lose tomorrow.

No big team is going to sell their superstar striker in January. People can stop with Griezmann, Aubameyang, or Dybala. Diego is the best #9 in the world and has bailed us out numerous times this season. He's irreplaceable in the middle of the season. If this were the summer it might be a different story.

The worst thing is that there are literally zero replacements that would be at his level available. Please, don't be real!

This could destroy our entire season. Top 4 would be in jeopardy, nevermind the title. Unimaginable. After he was just smiling and joking with Conte the other day on the touchline.

Excited to see us play again after the Spuds loss as I think we'll take care of business. Hopefully we come out like a gun shot and blitz them. We need to put that result behind us and reassert ourselves. No Mahrez, no target man in Slimani and a couple of slow, old CB's that Costa, Hazard, and Pedro/Willian should be able to cause fits. No excuses not to win this considering the form of each side and who they're missing. Also, I think Man United will 100% beat Liverpool and do so convincingly so us winning would put more distance between ourselves and Pool as well as keep United 10 points behind.

Yeah, he's got the ability to be effective in wide areas but he's not the sort of player like Pedro and Willian who will run all day and track back. This is just another lazy media link since West Ham have an interest in Batshuayi.
