West Ham are sliding and we should be in great spirits after the United win, can't see anything but a victory for us. Would take a 2-0. Just gotta keep the momentum going to ensure a top four finish.

Di Maria is going to miss games against both Tottenham and Liverpool. He's really ****ed them over here.

Great week for us, rest of the top 6-7 all with the opportunity to drop points and we have (on paper) the easiest fixture of the lot.

Won't underestimate the hammers as the form they showed earlier in the season was fantastic and they have the tools to upset us, very glad Carroll is unavailable he has been a bit of a thorn in our side recently.

 

[Cruyff14]

Di Maria is going to miss games against both Tottenham and Liverpool. He's really stuffed them over here.

Oh, what a pity!

 

[UrbanElectric]

Manchester United hosting Tottenham will be a great match, could certainly go either way.

 

[Zidane98]

Would like a draw in the Spurs game. Very tough away game for us vs Swansea. Need a point minimum.

Is Mata injured? Has he been playing?

 

[pieman123]

Is Mata injured? Has he been playing?

He doesn't fit the philosophy, need Fellaini behind the striker for it to work.

 

[UrbanElectric]

Is Mata injured? Has he been playing?

He is too ill disciplined with his positioning for Jose and van Gaal. He is still a good player.
I think if he was at Arsenal, Everton or Liverpool he'd be first choice due to the style of football played.

He's ******* s**t so no loss

But anyway, with or without him we're going to lose both of those games:

It's difficult to see United getting anything from Anfield, but if you match the Red Devil's home record against Tottenham's away you'll find they are still favorites at Old Trafford.

 

[Magma]

mata would be a van gaal favourite if he was 6 inches taller and swung his elbows around

van gaal really has become a footballing dinosaur.

You're going to beat us 4-0 at the King Power? At least try and be a little realistic

And the arsenal one. I mean 3-0? More like 2-0, concede in the 80th and then just sit back and hope they don't score again

 

[chef]

Poor Mata, gone from Chelseas bench to Uniteds bench. I guess at least hes getting an extra 100k a week to do it.

We beat Cardiff by the same margin at their stadium last season when they were in a similar position to you. We play very effectively on the counter and you're going to throw everything at us. Cardiff left huge banks of space that Elmo was able to run into and I don't see this being that different.

The reason you have a good record - and I use that term for a club with 17 points lightly - against the big teams is your ability to play on the counter and take your chances. Against the smaller clubs you struggle to dominate games and I don't see that changing.

West Ham are in a terrible run of form.

West Ham are in a terrible run of form.

That's true. But it seems to be a pretty stock standard story for our games regardless who we play

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Di Maria will only miss one game because he got 2 yellows?

 

[SM]

That's true. But it seems to be a pretty stock standard story for our games regardless who we play

I guess we'll see. I don't think my predictions mean that much to be honest.

I still see us smashing Leicester.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

3am. Fantastic..... Will probz IQ it

Would almost take a draw. We don't play well against Spurs for some reason even with SAF

Hope Mata, Rafael and Herrera all start

Would like to see

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Rojo Shaw
Carrick Herrera
Valencia Mata Young
Rooney

Valdes Jones Fellaini Janujaz Blind Falcao Wilson

Wouldn't be against Wilson starting either

No we aren't. We've only done that once this season and that was when we were 3-1 down to United. That's our whole problem with Pearson, he isn't playing attacking at all. We just sit there with the lone striker and try and counter, home and away.

I'll personally give you $50 if you beat us 4-0.
