They've had an easier start than us, but if we lose to Spurs tomorrow, we will only be one point ahead of them.

[Fosterbloke]

A point tomorrow wouldn't be a bad result.

If/when Van Gaal realises that 3-5-2 doesn't work in the PL it'll be too late as they'll be miles off top 4 by then. Or perhaps he'll persist with it even if he realises it won't work just out of pride/stubbornness, he seems the sort who would

Does 3 5 2 work in other competitions? And if it does, why doesn't it work in the premiership?

I agree.

Anyone else notice how everytime United lose or draw a load of their fans come out with gold like "should of had three penalties" - their sense of entitlement to win is astonishing. No other team's fans of any sport are that bad.

You should try looking at some of our match threads some time.

Most fans are the same. It's not a sense of entitlement. It's football logic.

Didn't we use it at the start of last season, beginning with when Skrtel returned into the team vs United (I think)? We didn't use it for that long, but I think we won a few games playing it.

My own opinion is that, in the PL, there are far more transitions than in other leagues. Therefore if you play with at least one quality attacking winger and one midfielder that can spread the play, it can be a lot easier to get in behind. But I'm no expert.

The only thing that I would have liked better about seeing United's demise would be if that whiskey drinking cunt was still in charge when it all came crashing down.
Not that it would have happened though as all the refs were **** scared of him and they'd have a rocket if they did not throw the games their way.

Maybe we did.

The whole system thing seems to be developing into an urban myth / cliché at the moment. People just keep repeating it, but I don't see any evidence either way.

United aren't winning because their team rubbish, and they are adjusting to a new system. That's not the system's fault.

Definitely. And isn't it great to see.

Btw I've edited my earlier post to give my own uneducated opinion on why I think it doesn't work long term in the PL.
