Yeah but we should have put more up like say 7 goals like city did but instead moyes does all 3 subs at half and we looked flat and out of sync in the 2nd half.

Europe does also, just at different times.

Gunners just went up 1-0.

As I have been saying for years, and the South Wales Derby is an example, Major League Soccer should "merge" with the Canadian Soccer League to develop an extremely nice North American league. That could bring about pro/rel as a possibility too -- maybe.

It just needs to happen. We have enough franchises in Canada with MLS, NASL, and even amateur clubs in PDL that it makes sense to just combine them all.

No one says "Go ManU"

Ramsey did the deed again yesterday. He's been killin it this season, hope he keeps it up.

Of course I want 3 pts, but I'll be happy with an away draw.

What you can say is Glory Glory Man United. I really hope we can pull 3 points because we really really need it. This inconsistency is on my nerves.

I think you guys just need to give Moyes more time. There really just isn't as much talent on United as the other top 4 (right now), and NOBODY is going to be able to replicate what Sir Alex was able to do with his players. I don't want to see you guys become the next revolving door of coaches without results (like liverpool) because you give up on a guy too early...

Actually, I do. Fire him.

See that's the thing there is plenty of talent, it's the exact same team that won the league last year by a good amount. Janujaz will be a star, he needs to play Kagawa more and Falaini well he doesn't fit in at all and hasn't shown me anything. I don't like Moyes at all and question a lot of his moves, lineups and subs. He's playing like he's at everton. Like last weeks game when he used all 3 subs at halftime, unless 3 people were actually hurt, who does that? We should have put up more goals at least or subbed out Van Persie so he can rest and start the CL game tuesday, which he didn't. Ashley Young is terrible and a joke of a soccer player, doesn't need to ever play for United again. I will say our defense is looking old, Rio and Vidic had some bad games earlier in the season and pretty much got benched for that. Rafael needs to play and they need to get rid of Smalling, he's a joke too. We definitely need a few good pick ups. Hopefully in January.

The thing is, I looked at the team last year and saw a less talented team than Chelsea, City, and potentially even Tottenham/Arsenal, but Sir Alex had such a tactical and mental advantage that it was just silly.

I think without Sir Alex that advantage is obviously gone, and until the talent/tactics are where Moyes needs them to be for his system, United will struggle a bit.

I didn't want Moyes from the start. I didn't like him at Everton (and neither did Rooney). I would have been much happier with a no-name than Moyes. Start brand new with someone who hasn't had a chance...just because. It's just like the nameless Pope that happens after every "great" Pope.

Where is this team lacking? Rooney, RvP, Chicharito, De Gea, Januzaj, Evra, Ferdinand, Giggs, Smalling, Vidic, Carrick, Jones, Nani (even though I am not a fan), Welbeck, Cleverley, Kagawa, Buttner, Zaha, Young, and now Fellaini. That's a solid roster of players. There's even more that have done the job in the past and are still capable.

NO reason why Everton, Southampton, or Tottenham should be above them. I can understand being in a tight battle Arsenal, Chelski, L'pool, and C*ty...but not 8 points back. It's early, still, and there's potential to climb...but points have been dropped that shouldn't have been dropped.

They need to start playing Zaha before we lose him. I'm not sure what his contract is like but just like they did with Januzaj they started playing him because they knew he would walk if he wasn't getting on the pitch and he signs with us for a long term deal. How'd you forget about Rafael? He's special too.
