Wii Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I've made a bags of my Fantasy Football team this week. Was meant to have Ramsey in instead of Fonte. I guess I didn't confirm it and he's only gone and got an assist and the game's not over. FFS! I'd like to see this game end a draw.
Kav Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I'm happy with our purchase of Diego Costa I must say, a lovely change from having Torres as the main man... 7 goals in 4 games! What a beast!
Emerald Emblem Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 7 Assists for Fabregas as well. It's frustrating we didn't take first buy back option, Ozil just isn't playing well right now, but then Wenger insists playing him on the wing. Will possibly be dropped when Walcott comes back.

Before todays hat trick, Costa's 4 goals in 3 games was really funny when compared to Torres. It took him 39 games to reach that target. 39 games! That's a full league season, I know they weren't all league games but still. The stats can only be worse after today.
Wii Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 If United don't splatter QPR today, they've no right playing football especially after splurging €200 million during the summer.
Mokong Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 If United don't splatter QPR today, they've no right playing football especially after splurging €200 million during the summer. 4-0 splatter enoiugh for ya. Can't beleive I didn't make Mata my captain in fantasy football and stuck in Falcao hoping he'd make a statement in goals in his first game

Can't beleive I didn't make Mata my captain in fantasy football and stuck in Falcao hoping he'd make a statement in goals in his first game I put Falcao in as well, thought he'd start and they've easy fixtures for the next while. Contemplated putting Costa in instead and I'm -8 points for the week on transfers. Shi.....zzle!

Fierce_LiNk Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 A huge difference today compared with our previous performances. This was always going to happen once the new signings actually played. Rojo, Herrera, Blind, Di Maria and Falcao all took part, with Shaw being the only one who missed out. Rojo looked solid enough and got forward well, Blind broke things up nicely in midfield, Falcao made a steady first appearance and Herrera looked great on the ball. Di Maria is just on another level to every single player that we have. Him and Januzaj are our two best wingers since Ronaldo was here. The pace of the midfield was just so much quicker. Di Maria, Blind and Herrera is just so much better on paper and in reality than what we've had in recent years. It was refreshing to actually see the balls going forward for a change. It's only one game and it does not at all mean that we've suddenly gotten over our bad spell, but it's a start. Our season starts here.
nekunando Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 It's been a little worrying this weekend seeing Liverpool play so poorly and then witnessing the beginning of the rebirth of Man United
Babooo Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 7 Assists for Fabregas as well. It's frustrating we didn't take first buy back option, Ozil just isn't playing well right now, but then Wenger insists playing him on the wing. Will possibly be dropped when Walcott comes back. Yeah frustrates me no end to see Ozil shoved out wide. It doesn't make any sense to play your best player (and most expensive signing) anywhere but his best position which is behind the striker. Really need more from him.
Goron_3 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Just on the United resurgence, it's worth remembering that Spurs hammered QPR and then lost 3-0 to Liverpool. The key for United is how they perform in the games against the top 4 and also Everton and Spurs. I don't think they'll finish top 4 but if they can do well against those teams then you never know. The one concern for me regarding United is that RvP looked poor throughout and Rooney will never get dropped, despite his hit and miss performances over the past 2-3 years. I can't see them being consistent enough across the year to get back into top 4.
Murr Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Well that was a good weekend for me. Bristol City put 3 past Doncaster Rovers, and United are going to win the league (j/k.. but not j/k) Man... I loved looking at the goalscorer's list for the game... Di Maria, Herrera, Mata, Rooney.... reads like a friggin dream team. RVP had a great chance too from Di Maria's pass to him, and Falcao... so close to a debut goal. All in all, exciting time. City Unbeaten still in League1 and United midfield looks pretty decent. Obviously QPR wasn't the toughest test, but it's what United need to get these new guys to play together and build some moral up.
Ramar Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Obviously QPR wasn't the toughest test, but it's what United need to get these new guys to play together and build some moral up. It was an expected result. I don't think anyone saw QPR actually doing anything at Old Trafford. The real test is when you play a decent side. I was pleased with our point against Man City, thought we could have won it and probably should have held on. But we conceded two sloppy goals and I think Debuchy getting injured really unsettled us. Along with Wenger not going through with the subs he had lined up just before Sanchez scored. He had two players ready to come on and sat them down, our midfield needed to be re-energised. Only real complaint is Arsene is killing Ozil out wide left. Arshavin all over again.
Charlie Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Only real complaint is Arsene is killing Ozil out wide left. Arshavin all over again. Ozil being played on the wing is just playing him because he cost a lot of money. He does nothing there, Wenger must see it. The Ox would've been a far better choice to start as he would at least track back.
Ellmeister Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Great weekend for Chelsea! Costa is amazing but I worry about his injury potential. Great to have Remy as back up though and Droggy of course. Off to see them for the first time this season this Wednesday then again next Wednesday
MadDog Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 So happy Hendo has been made vice captain. He really deserves it, top guy.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What a way to make an impact on your full debut, you think the chance has gone with Hull getting back into their shape, but no, he comes up with something great.
AndreaStevenesen Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 My top 4 prediction 1. Chelsea 2. Man City 3. Man Utd 4. Arsenal
pratty Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I don't know if i missed something but I didn't understand Rodgers resting Sterling vs Villa. He's 19 and had 4 days to rest, like Hendo and every other england player. We were already weakened by the lose of Sturridge, why intentionally make ourselves weaker by resting our best player? Even then why wait so long to introduce him? He should have been on at half time.
Emerald Emblem Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 That was one of the most pathetic Arsenal displays I've ever seen, most of the team didn't deserve to wear the shirt tonight, 2-0 flatters us hugely, could easily have been 7 if Dortmund had been more clinical up front.
dazzybee Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Oh my god that was utterly glorious. Everything that is weak about arsenal was exemplified tonight - weak in defence, no steel in in midfield and Danny welbeck being atrocious... Just brilliant! Going to be a long few months to January for them I think.
