Man United Stats

Shots Per Game = 15th place in league
Shots On Target Per Game = 15th in league
Goals Total = 11th

That is really bad for a team with the talent Man United have.

They are tops in the league in possession but in the bottom half of the table in terms of shots per game. Something wrong with that equation.

No Who .... everything is great cause casperian says so..... the coach has nothing to with lack of any offensive gameplan..... it s my fault that the strikers are never in position. Maybe

Possibly my tv is faulty and all i get to see is a team that can t make 4 consecutive forward passes..... maybe you are also not aware that the part if the pitch close to Degea where mu spends most of the time is not the opponents's final end....

That s what mu has spent whether you like it or not. Obviously you think it s money well spent....

Here's one for you, Yoki, a bit of good news, I imagine:

I read some good stuff about him, but other than his FIFA ratings, I know nothing about Mohamed Elneny.

He passed his medical, just need a work permit and he's good to go. I like that he's not cup tied, so we can use him against Barcelona if needed be.

Although, I wanted a different Basel player...

He's a deep-lying holding mid who has demonstrated the ability to perform as a box-to-box.  Known for his long passing and shooting bullets from 15-25 yards out.  This lad has an eye for goal, also.  Vastly experienced at international level with Egyptian national side. 

If he pans out in the EPL, Wenger may have his first big transfer steal in a while.

I think it s the other way around...he is a box to box md who can perform as holding md. But regardless he is a quality player

Funny you should post that...well, actually, it only figures.  Enjoy your omniscience, Ederson.

Remember the time when I thought the Spurs are going to finish in the top 4? And then I backtracked...

Boy do I want to backtrack on that backtrack. As an Arsenal fan, I'm a bit worried. Those two Belgians are really, really good. And Eric Dier too.

That s funny too considering you are the one rejecting everything you don t like. I watched a few games and MY IMPRESSION is that holding def is not his primary position. Last time i checked i am allowed to have one

You are also allowed to be miserable.  Fortunately, the rest of us don't have to follow your lead.

All the Belgians belong to us!

Ya Dier has been a revelation as a holding midfielder. 

Its a shame tottenham didn't get a win this past weekend against Everton after hitting two inside posts.  they dominated that game and were super fun to watch. 

Dele Alli is the man as well.  Kid is only 19 but plays with no fear

What happened to Nabil Bentaleb? Isn't he one of those wonderkids? Is he hurt or just out of form?

And yeah, I like Dele Alli. The next Steven Gerrard.
