City had 3 chances the whole game and buried them all. I don't think we'll see another team that clinical all season. You watch Chelsea, they'll have less chances but will still win. You love Chelsea!

They didn't park the bus for the first two games and that's why everyone is lording over them saying how great they looked.
He may save the buses until he meets the better teams. They've looked good but could hardly have had a better / easier start. They'll be up there though but just think City are better all round.

You love Chelsea! The only think I like in Chelsea is that as long as Mourinho will be there United won't increase their 20 titles tally, if he had stayed, I don't think United would have overtaken our 18. Until we become an EPL winning team have to rely on Chelsea and for me they are the favourites to win it. Must say that even without Chelsea it is looking very hard for United to win anything though.

For me the big difference between City and Us is Fernando. The guy does all the donkey work in front of the back four. Interceptions, breaking up attacks and picking up the midfield runners.
It leaves the back four to stay in line and concentrate on picking up the forwards runs.
It also gives the attacking midfielders reign to push forward without the fear of getting caught up the field.
That's what we need and I think it will only be rectified once Gerrard retires, as the Boss will fear a fans backlash if he replaces Gerrard in the team.
The following is based on actual events. Only the names, locations and events have been changed.

If BR has a better option than SG he should use it whatever fans say but I don't think we have or if we was even interested to bring a top DM. We have a problem in midfield and SG, Allen and Hendo is not a great line up, this is where City and Chelsea and probably Arsenal is better than us.

The only out and out DM I can remember being linked with recently is De Jong. I guess Rodgers just doesn't like to use that kind of player?
