I understand, but personally I think that's more down to our lack of penetrative play and chance creation than our lack of good strikers. Whether it's Falcao or RVP or Rooney or Wilson, I've watched us play games countless times where our strikers make good runs, get into good positions, and...

I disagree about RVP, I don't think he's played particularly badly. His fitness has been an issue, he didn't look particularly fit during the World Cup, but I thought against Brom he was our only goal threat, from the first to the last minute, he was the only player actively trying to score...

I think it would make a good fit. The problem which hasn't been solved for so many years with Newcastle is how flaky their defence is. Moyes can definitely get them back into shape. He made Goodison Park a fortress, he'd do the same at St. James'. Big problem though, and I've got a few...

Can't say it's not deserved, or expected. Knew it from the first game of the season, Fabregas and Costa transformed the team. Best team in the league right now, probably the best manager in the league. Wish I could say United will be coming for you next season, but it'll take a fair bit of...

I've struggled to get my head around it, but to be honest my confusion is more over LVG's tactical approach than why we can't score. To me it feels like LVG's tactics ARE why we can't score. That's not to say I think he's a bad manager, there are many many many many things he's got right this...

It's a good system. Classic passer and runner combo in midfield. No coincidence that since he's come back Everton have gone from potential relegation battle to suddenly resurgence.

Not to sound like sour grapes or anything, but Martinez was hardly a tactical genius here. He used the same tactics Mourinho used on us, and the same tactics almost every team we've played against this season has used on us. The big difference was that when Everton did break out, they cut...

Do I condone it? I'm pretty sure you know the answer to that. But, unfortunately with all big clubs, these people do exist and unlike clubs like Chelsea who will sit by and do nothing, it was nice to hear that at least the booing was cut short by the other United fans in the crowd.

Carrick is important, but United have been woeful. Everton were happy to sit back, watch us pass the ball around and hit on the counter. Our tactics that saw us push forward and get a few wins on the bounce has been figured out. The biggest mistake in United's play has been the midfield. Loads...

Thought Alderweireld was only a loan signing?

I rather like the black and orange kit, not a massive fan of the white and red. Just wish they would do something with that Chevrolet logo. It sticks out like a sore thumb, especially when all the stripes and logos are one colour but the Chevy logo doesn't change. At least make it a flat colour...

Correct.

I always find things like this interesting because it shows how the fans of Englands historical top teams take over the map. Other than specific areas like Leicester, Burnley, Southampton, Swansea, Birmingham etc. who support their local teams, and Chelsea who have areas here and there, the...

As with most rumours, until I see it confirmed by a trusted source, consider it covered in a mountain of salt.

30 goals in 54 games for Milan. Better goals/games ratio than he had at City. Was good enough to see him become first choice striker for Italy.

In his defence, I don't think Balo was ever considered a like for like replacement. At the time, Balo had been scoring for fun in Italy. Lallana, Lambert and Lovren had pushed Southampton from relegation candidates to a genuine top half team. Can, Markovic and Moreno were all performing well...

Its 50:50 that he's going to be sacked, and it would be sad to see him go in my opinion. He's a great manager, but his squad has let him down this season. Some of his signings have dropped way below where they were last season (Lovren, Lallana, Balotelli, to name a few). His top striker has...

Always difficult to say because what exactly are the requirements for a signing of the season? Would you say the big money spent on Fabregas or Costa to win Chelsea the title from a 3rd place finish last season is a better signing than someone like Sanchez, who cost similar money and got Arsenal...
