Proper Football season 2014-2015 thread

[supernaps]

@Psychotic - I see; was just surprised because Liverpool hammered Spurs last week but as proven from time to time again, that doesn't mean anyting in EPL; any team at a given day can surprise or fall short.

Agreed that the game at the Emirates was fantastic. Was really the 'start' of the season for me, I've kinda daydreamed through the first three weeks, but this woke me up.

Could have gone either way, but I feel a draw is a fair result for the effort put in. Wilshere did well in the second half, but honestly why Sanchez didn't get MotM I'll never know, the guy was the best player on the pitch for the whole game, and his work rate is second to none.

Yeah, it was a very high quality game; City looked dangerous in the counter attack, and they had a party from the left side (why wasn't Gibbs on instead of Monreal? That had me like whut, but idk, maybe he wasn't 100% and his services are needed for the upcoming Dortmund fixture) but we showed guts to come back, and fought hard.
I thought the Debuchy injury affected us quite a bit and we conceded from yet another set piece, but well, what can you do?

Alexis is a beast, he's a machine. I absolutely love the guy, his work rate is exceptional and his volley was amazing but Jack was simply outstanding today; he was everywhere, felt like Ramsey at his prime from last year and a bit more. (I would say it would be a tie between those two, for MotM, but a bit more on Jack)

Ozil was flat, and so was Ramsey, I feel like if either of those had stepped it up a bit we could have won it; Monreal was mediocre, but can't blame the guy. That's the best he can do, we do need Gibbo back asap.
Welbeck had a good debut, and he was extremely unlucky the post denied him.

Anyway, it was a draw but the performance was inspiring; onwards and upwards.

Oh, look, United can play!

Loving the new look United, I must say. It'll be interesting to see if we stick with 4-3-3 / diamond formation when we have more defenders available to us, but I really hope we do, because we looked excellent. Blackett looked comfortable managing the defence at the young age of 20, Rojo & Di Maria rocked the left side, Herrera was great, Rooney/Mata/Di Maria/Herrera as an attacking force were just perfect. RVP and Rafael didn't have the best of games but clearly still doing their job nicely. Great to have a good DM, too, in Blind.

Now... to do it again against someone who isn't QPR...

Now will you admit it was just Moyes being trout?

Ah yes, Liverpool FC in Europe. I had romanticised it in my head so that I forgot that I usually smurfing hate every minute of it while trying to prevent heart failure.

Here here!

I have to say, still not too impressed with Sakho in defense. Always looks unsure on the ball. Lovren had some good tackles but the defense still hasn't come together. Still, 3 points is all that matters here. Survive and advance. If we can find a way to win our home games and tie away (Yes, even in Madrid), we should advance to the knockouts.

Take care all.

Great composure by Gerrard for that penalty. Had a feeling he might fluff it. Ludogorets did well though Liverpool definitely underestimated them. Still, three points is three points. Arsenal were piss poor though. The more I see them the more I think we've got a great chance of sneaking that fourth spot ahead of them.

Also, it's great to see that Welbeck is still as prolific as ever. It's a shame because if he had that to his game then he'd be world class and we definitely wouldn't have let him go.

[Old Manus]

The Germans need to stop being so good at football. The Spaniards and UEFA might start a big sulk again.

[Bubba]

It was a pretty dull game to be honest. Just glad I stuck a fiver on Bayern to win at the start of the game.

Both teams with still qualify for the next round. It's a tough group and I hope this affects City's league campaign.

[Psychotic]

Yaya Toure's become pretty bobbins hasn't he? Think the league is Chelsea-bound right now.

[Psychotic]

Would any Man United fans care to join me in a spot of "holding each other while crying in the corner"? Not gone particularly well for either team this season has it?

Bloody made up for the Foxes. I was a bit miffed when relegation predictions were abound and that QPR would finish above them. smurf off. Vardy and Ulloa are easily Prem quality.

[Bubba]

Terrible decision by the ref let Leicester back into the game and gave them a big lift. There's no excuse for letting in four goals in 20 mins though.

*holds Psychotic and cries*

EDIT: Looking forward to seeing two teams that can actually defend in the 4pm game

[Psychotic]
