Coutinho / Sturridge / Sterling up front

I wonder if they're still looking for a Suarez replacement. Having Suso, Ibe and Borini on the bench is anything but assuring if you lose one of the starting 3.

I feckin love Rambo!! You can always count on him scoring at any time. Looks like he's going to have another great season. We played quite poorly yesterday, and created little chances. Chambers playing his second competitive match as a CB, and he's really impressive, both Kos and Per should be afraid for their places.

They have to bring in another striker; I think they're selling Borini.

Btw, you forgot to count Markovic, I think he'll be filling in from time to time for Coutinho or Sterling.

Johnson is the perfect example of how fullbacks are shit nowadays. A dying breed.

Henderson doing a Pirlo. Sterling 1-0.

Serious question Andy. What league do you consider tolerable to watch? Considering the EPL is supposedly the most watched league in the World.

I watch all the big leagues, but the most exciting in terms of game play has been the Bundesliga for me, at least when Bayern isn't involved. I don't care much for EPL matches apart from when Arsenal and Tottenham play for humor reasons only. Mid to low-table teams in England are worse to watch for me than the counterparts in Spain and Italy.

Southampton are playing some damn good footy today.

 

[Klin]

This Southampton team is playing great football. They'd probably cause problems to any in team in Serie A with their aggressive and high-tempo style of play.

 

[Raz]

I bet any english amateur team would cause problems for seria teams with their aggressive and high-tempo style of play.

 

[Klin]

True. Thank God for Serie A defending though.

Agreed. and the most technical league as well.

Disagree. While mid-to-low English teams might not have the technicality as the ones in the first half of the table, they still play up tempo passing forward Football. It's far from boring, what happens to be the case in Spain and Italy.

So so funny sarcasm machine

 

[Dostoevsky]

Great pass from Tadic that was.

How many teams does Puma sponsor now?

I've seen Arsenal and Newcastle so far. Jerseys look pretty nice imo. The fit is the best as usual with Puma.

I would LOVE for this to be true: http://football-italia.net/54483/man-utd-turn-mexes

Imagine the United fans thinking they would get Hummels/Benatia, Vidal and Di Maria/Cuadrado (heck i even heard someone claim Cuadrado would be waste since they needed better players than those they already got), then end up with Mexes, Herrera and Memphis Depay

"The Serie A defending", discriminated since Gervinho dribbled a Bologna player.

Doesn't matter that all-rounded players that played across Europe like Higuain or Tevez said that teams in Italy are the toughest to break down and very organized defensively, and also those who left (like Giaccherini) confirmed, no. And like if that was not evident to those who watch Serie A unbiased.

besides the Italy wc 2006 shirt, all their others since have been pretty comfy and a nice fit, better more than Nike to say the least.

man utd signing mexes would be he's so bad even milan fans would love to see the back of him

Barkley out for 5 months, real shame @Pablo

He's a great player to watch even for neutrals.

 

[Maddy]

I like Barkley a lot. A shame.

Of course they are the toughest to break when almost all teams defend with 10 players. Doesn't mean they're good defenders.

It sad the rumour has no credibility at all, but man United are desperat if they are even thinking about Mexes. They have strengthened the team far less than i expected them to. And if i were some of the big guys, Vidal or who else could be on their way, i would be skeptical about joining a team, that by no means have the class to fight for the title, let alone getting a CL spot, which will be tough considering the strenght of Chelsea, City and Arsenal, who i don't see finish outside the top 4.

This was always going to be an issue with hiring Van gaal following a world cup campaign, unlike chelsea for example they did their business early on, van gaal has had very little time to work with and fully understand the work his team needs, i wouldn't be surprised if they had another knee jerk end to their transfer campaign, what i find surprising is that the club's management knew that they had to replace the likes of vidic and ferdinand in defence yet they have failed to address that issue, then to only be left with one natural left back? having sold buttner and evra that just screams incompetence. With each passing day the premiums for these top players increases and the window of opportunity closes more. once again poor miscalculations by the club directors and van gaal will practically have to work with shit and hope that his managerial qualities will somehow push the team into the CL which i can't honestly see happen at this rate
