Title Race

[greenbloodred]

So do we want United to beat Arsenal on Wednesday then?

I never thought I'd see the day when I want United to win, but taking points off Arsenal and preserving Moyes job for a bit longer has to make it worthwhile.

Come on Vidic.

I hope it's a draw, with Utd denied a couple of stonewall penos #MoyesIn

[BigChief]

What a turnaround. Football, bloody hell.

said a while ago in this thread im old enough to have saw us win a few titles and it was a meh after a while to win it now would give me a breakdown of epic proportions

I've been lucky enough to see us win 13 league titles, but I think I'd be quite excited if we won this season.

I said in the score prediction thread that Arsenal are massively over-rated and I fully expected us to beat them by at least two goals. Many we're getting their knickers in a twist about just how many Arsenal were going to win by and eulogising about their amazing midfield walking through ours at will. It was pathetically laughable.

Arsenal are the best team in the league at taking four sideways passes from the right to the left, them making four more to return the ball back where it started. Then one pass forward and the move breaks down. Rinse and repeat.

City and Chelsea are also over-rated and I fully expect us to beat both of them too.

We will almost inevitably drop silly points in coming games, but so will others. We've got every chance of winning the title when you consider the five first-teamers set to return and beef out our squad.

Top four best 11
Gk Mignolet
Rb Zabeletta
Cb Skrtle
Cb Kompany
Lb Azpiculetta
DM Gerrard
CM Hendo/Ramirez/Toure
Am Coutinho/Oscar
LF Suarez/Hazard
RF Sterling
ST Sturridge

Thoughts??

I don't care who else you pick, but to suggest that anyone rivals Suarez for a place is laughable. He's by a million miles the best player in the Premier League

[Redspin]

Mig was close but in all honesty not one of back 5 really deserve to be in that 11.

Close for Sturridge as well but Aguero just has it over him for the moment, really enjoyed considering and then dismissing all potential Utd players

Well I know aguero's injured and missed a few games a while back, but Sturridge missed seven games I believe and has 15 goals, like Aguero. But Sturridge's been in top form for longer with 25 goals in just 26 starts and 5 sub appearances, which is appreciably better than Aguero over the same period

[Mattshark]

Based off this season, don't really rate Mertesacker but he's done very well for most of the season.

Gk Cech
RB Ivanovic
CB Mertesacker
CB Kompany
LB Azpiculetta
DM Gerrard
CM Toure
CM Ramsey
LF Suarez
RF Hazard
ST Aguero

I don't. I think if we relinquish hope of being top then we'll inevitably start to look down. I'm 100% sure that behind closed doors the squad are being told that we're still very much in the chase

I've said before that psychologically we're better served looking up than back down. As you say if we concentrate on closing the gap at the top, then 4th place will take care of itself. The more we worry about those below catching us, the more we'll slip up.

4 points off the top with a win tomorrow

[Chris]

Get it to 4 points tomorrow then over the coming weeks while the others are going life and death with Barca, Bayern and Galatasaray we'll be sitting at home resting. Still the big underdogs but we have one of the best attacks on the planet and home games v title rivals, we can do it.

Lets become the Warhorse in this ****in race!
