The mancs at work aren't confident at all. I told them that some in here said they thought they'd played well and they told me to feck off and laughed!
It'll come down to who's less shitte I think. We are in for a classic then

Draw would be the best we can hope for but i just fear our defence is liable to leak soft goals.
Plus if de gea is back and playing well their defence will become that much better We've had one shaky defensive performance this season, and several shaky offensive performances. The issue is clearly more goals than goals conceded. Until the WH game our defence was ok, but then we conceded 3, I would say right now it is both defence and offence, no? We have score 2 and conceded 3 in 4 games. Not in my eyes. Butland should have done better with Coutinhos strike, and with a better ref, we wouldnt have that benteke goal. When youre a whisker from not scoring in the season so far, with fortune on your side, its a bigger issue than one performance where moreno, gomez and lucas could all have helped avoid conceding. Thats not even mentioning lovren and his mistake that led to that noble goal. You can draw a line under a bad performance. Not over a series of average performances. We need to click without coutinho.

There was one of those after game pundit chit chats the other day Sixty I was following in the pub- really wish I could remember which channel it was but can't apologies; anyway they had a journalist on who follows the German league and has done so for some time-knows all about our Brazilian chap and basically said he was very hit and miss at Hoffenheim which was all I wanted to hear. His tone and expression said he really didn't think he was all that. Let's just hope he is in world beater form on Saturday rather than West Ham mode eh.

Fair enough. I'm working off the teams ability on paper to have kept clean sheets. Opinions differ.

Yeah thanks top 4 for that ! he hasn't impressed yet bar one thunderbolt that hit the post but ffs we paid 29 mil someone better of done their homework on him I'm hoping this spell without phil might gel him in ? He was a player that was mentioned on here many times as one we should be buying. I'd never seen him play so can't comment but not sounding too good from someone who has.

Well using your referee point we've only kept two clean sheets than as Arsenal scored a goal which was wrongly given offside for And for me our defence still looks w^nk despite keeping those clean sheets

If Ben is out as some have suggested then were gunna struggle but he who dares wins we have two strikers might as well see if they have the bottle ?

Clyne---------skirts------------------sak/Gomez -------Moreno

--------------------------------firms--------------------------------------
-------------------ogi-------------------------ings----------------------- What a crap team, nothing against the poster - its is close to the team we might have to play. Total crap tho. Hendo is very doubtful they say. Utd 7-1 with that team
