Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Being a Chelsea fan, I'm interested in seeing Diego Costa and John Terry playing together. Their interactions in previous meetings were less than friendly lol.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Gabe, Peter, have any feelings about tomorrow's Manchester United vs Liverpool International Champions Cup final?

I know it's only preseason, but still. :po

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

It's a friendly. To say its a cup is ludicrous.
PKs after 90 minutes? 6 (or more?) substitutions?
What a farce as far as a "competition" goes. About as meaningful as the NFL preseason.
That being said, Go Liverpool!!!!!!

Peter, you're right of course. I refer to it as the "Guinness International Champions Cup" because that's what they've named it. Agreed, it's a preseason friendly for sure. However -- and this is a big however -- I know I don't have to point out to you fellas that these two clubs don't like one another. And when they face one another, regardless of the occasion, I believe each side makes an additional effort. I think it'll be fun as hell to watch.

On a side note, the missus and I took the train down to DC for the Manchester United vs Inter Milan match last Tuesday. I purchased "Dream Seats". Here's a panoramic pre-match view of FedEx Field from Section 24 Row 1 :tu

Sweet!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

I regret not going to Chicago! Being Greek it would've been cool to see Olympiakos ( more of a Panathinaikos fan tho) play my beloved LFC! Plus I've never been to Chicago and always wanted to see the town and Wrigley! YNWA

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

After week 1 no big surprises, Chelsea and Shitty look the strongest. Our win was ugly but I'll take 3 points however I can get them! Hard next 2 games shitty and Spurs! YNWA!!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Agreed. Getting 3 points when not playing your best is what separates the good teams from the excellent teams.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Daniel Sturridge out for up to 4 months Balotelli and Markovic need to step up and I have faith! can't wait to see Lallana in the squad!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Good one. -(P

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Falcoa and Di Maria are fantastic signings although I will say what Falcoa is being paid is ridiculous, not necessarily a waste of money if he drastically improves the team, but they could've gotten some other GREAT players at a better price point looking forward to seeing how the change, gonna miss Chicharito one of the only MUFC players I liked and respected!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

What is Roy Hodgeson doing to our players??? First Sturridge and now Henderson? At least Diego Costa is injured now do will hurt Chelsea dearly Shuller will be only loan striker and Old ass Deogba too to play between domestic, FA Cup, and Champions league!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

man u my friends. we will turn it around and finish........................the season.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

In 5th place!!:r

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

:fu2

If we finish inside the top four I'll consider this season a massive success.

But if we're to do that, things have got to get real different, real fast.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Good luck with that, David.
A top four finish is optimistic. Lots of quality sides at the top of the table.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Completely agree, Peter. But I'm forever the optimist--at least when it comes to MUFC.

I'm itching to get the season back underway. Wish I didn't have to wait until Sunday to face QPR.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

QPR should be a gimme. Emphasis on should.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

You're right, but ManUtd's first three: Swansea, Sunderland, and Burnley should have been gimmes also, and we've managed only two points so far. :emo2004
I'm not sounding like an optimist right now, am I. Ha.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

hey, we have 2 points. that's better than none. ;)

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

MK Dons should've been a gimme!!!;s

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

God. That match. Just... :fp2

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

I was actually relieved that i wasn't able to watch it.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Aston Villa played well, always like Paul Lambert from back at his days at Norwich City, they outplayed us, still pretty pissed tho!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Hey, Man U jumped 7 spots in the table with that win. lol

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Yep! I don't want to get too carried away though. It was a pretty poor performance from QPR. Having said that... :cl

We're one lousy point behind Liverpool, two behind City.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Wow right back to 3 years ago, hopefully we win champs league to stay in or hope for Europa league I can see losing to a top 4 team two weeks in a row but two teams that constantly fight for relegation? And a poor outing against Ludogorets, not making me believe BR makin me doubt! Sign Suarez back in January!! Still
Support my team!! But am furious!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Hey, at least you got to relish in our 5-3 defeat at newly promoted Leicester City. :fp

This has been United's worst ever start to a Premier League season; two defeats, two draws, one victory, five measly points.

We can score goals, but why has LvG left us so woefully lacking in defense? Why? :sh

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Well, we did get three points. Despite Roo's moment of madness.

How many points your lot get? :D

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Should have had the 3. Ended up with one.
At least it wasn't a cheap goal.
Jagielka's strike was impressive!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

It'll be a candidate for strike of the season, no?

On any other day we'd be talking about how good Gerrard's free-kick was--there, I said it--but what a strike from Jagielka. :cf1

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Agree on all points.

Rooney is such a talent but has the mentality/maturity of a school boy. Someone else needs to be chosen to lead MU.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

We need creativity bad!!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Wow I'm glad this thread is dead, what a horrible start to the season, we need Suarez back!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Actually pleased with where Man U is. it's progress i guess.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

It's still early days of course, but considering where Liverpool sit (11th!), I'll agree. :tu And while United are currently 7th in the table, from what we've seen so far, I now believe we can finish 4th this season. Perhaps even 3rd.

Thanks for reviving the thread, Gabe. ;)

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

after smallings stupidity, van Gaal is going to do some major defense buying in the winter transfer window I think.

Midfield and uptop, MU is solid. He just has to shore up the D.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

spurs!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Well then, boys! What's going on? Thread's been awfully quiet. :D

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Rogers out Klopp in, FSG make it happen!!

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

sitting pretty in 4th right now. not too shabby.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Is everyone caught up with the weekend's matches? Peter?

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Yes.
:sad

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Make that 3rd. -(P

My, how the tone of this thread has changed since it was begun. :D

To my two favorite Liverpool supporters: January transfer window is almost upon us. What should your lot do to right the ship?

You know, to be fair to Liverpool -- though I don't know why -- had it been anyone besides an unbeatable David de Gea in goal yesterday, the scoreline might've been very different. Not to mention, we scored two good goals. Not three. Had Sterling managed to convert one of his many chances, it would've changed the whole face of the match. Who knows what might have happened then? Only, that's not how it happened, is it.

:hy

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Very true, David. de Gea was superb. Mata's goal should not have counted. But to be fair, a very difficult call for the AR.
And you are correct. Had Sterling converted, the match might have ended differently. But that is the way the ball bounces.

What do we need?
Goals. Losing S & S is virtually impossible to overcome. Balotelli has been a bust. Lambert hasn't shown much but hasn't played much. Lallana shows some spark but has been inconsistent.
And the defense is horrendous. Last year, the goals from S & S masked the defensive woes. This year, it's a glaring weakness. Build from the back, I say.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

Mignolet is utter crap!! Lambert, Allen, Johnson and Borini out maybe Markovic too but he's inly 20 and shows great promise!! I'll support BR, but to be honest he should be sacked- I'd love to see Klopp come in and take over. We need a good young midfielder, two proven strikers and a new goal keeper (Valdez or Petr Chech) Suarez is unreplaceable! And the crap we got Doesn't cut it!! DeGea had a great game yesterday!! That save he had on Balotelli was the icing on the cake.

Re: EPL 2014/2015 banter!!
 

I disagree with your assessment of Mignolet. Petr Cech? Really??? He looks good because of the defense in front of him. Probably why you don't like Mignolet. Lousy back Line.
Lambert hasn't had enough playing time.
Never been a fan of Allen.
I like Johnson.
Borini? Not so much.
Balotelli is a bust.

The injury to Sturridge hurt bad.
