It was also pointed out last night that The Gooners have won six trophies in the last five years, 3 FA Cups and 3 Comm Shields, so why would they let a winner go. |

Can't count Community Shield - that's just an overblown pre-season friendly.

How easily it's said that there are 6 or 7 'top four' clubs in the PL and probably more allegedly 'Big' clubs in the top two divisions than you could fit into the PL itself...whatever happened to realism? The PL and the attendant hype, I suppose... |

We pay a world-class transfer fee for just a Premier League level player in Lukaku, and Sanchez and Arsenal are laughing all the way to the bank. We are struggling to hold on to second place, we are playing mediocre football, and as one pundit commented over the weekend 'Mourinho has a knack of making good players look average' I can't argue with that comment at the moment. On paper we have a pretty good team that should be making City look over their shoulders, in a way City are looking over their shoulders at us.....with a pair of binoculars. We are probably three players light to make a serious challenge on both the domestic and European fronts, hopefully that issue will be addressed in the summer, and if we still stumble and stutter next season then perhaps we need to look at a change of manager?

You have De Gea, but as yet, the defence and midfield don't fit in with his blueprint. Therein I suspect lies the tension between the manager and the best outfield player at the club - Pogba is potentially a great player but is really too free a spirit to be a Murinho player...and are Man Utd too free spirited in their football aspirations to be a JM club - he's been here before, with Real. Mu, like Real, don't subscribe to 'win at all costs' - there is an expectation that football will entertain. JM doesn't do entertaining, he manipulates and controls. The question is who succeeds him and how soon - it's too unhappy a marriage to last. |

If the opposition wins the ball back then they challenge high up to get the ball back then pass back to the backline to start again.If two teams are playing like this then their is a lot of play when nothing is happening. Man City are different at the moment however in that they have some exceptional players, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero. Chelsea in the mid-2000s were not defensive minded with players like Robben, Drogba, Crespo, Essien, Ballack. |

If a peak Fergie was still in charge at OT and he had the current squad at his disposal, we would see the kind of football Utd are famous for. I'm not suggesting we would hold top spot over the VERY impressive City, but i'd bet we would have a more comfortable lead over the clubs chasing us and we would be watching attacking and entertaining football. As for who succeeds JM? Who knows? Sadly Pep is employed across town....... |

If Lord Wrigley were still at the reins I think he'd be getting more from Rashford and Martial, and that Sanchez would likely be elsewhere. It seemed like a signing designed mainly to pique Pep. More importantly both Rashford and Martial have got the capacity to tear defences a new one - your mind-numbing european away leg was a peerfect example of where you could have contained for 60-70 minutes then brought those two on to run at defenders...and left with a two goal margin...hindsight is wonderful but it's what some of your performances cry out for. Instead, two of the most promising young players in the league are struggling to get game time. Ludicrous. |
