Tonight's football thread

Apart from your lack of actual experience of doing that... you trust in a manager with a very unproven record.. you've also been believing for 5 years that Man U are finished.. and in that time we've won trophy after trophy..

Also re your ageing barb about manUs squad..

Jones and Smalling, Evans and De Gea were immense yesterday, and they can form our spine for the next 10-15 years. You are reliant on an increasingly decrepant centre half and have no first choice keeper... and your players are unsettled because they know pelligrini will likely be sacked..

Iain as much as you want me to throw all my toys out of the pram I wont and believe there is strong hope for us for the following reasons:

1. There is no run away leader, all teams have dropped points

2. We are only 6 points off the top with 27 games to play, 6 points would have us top actually.

3. The bookies still have us as favourites, for good reason. We are the best equipped team to win the league this year, we have the squad

4. We have the mental experience to get over the line

5. We have already had a bad run of injuries to key personnel. Probability dictates this will not continue and that other teams less equipped than us will suffer the same fate.

Therefore it is not doom and gloom Iain, however, mild concern that we need to address our away form. We are a team that is learning to play a new way and we are well on our way to that goal. Pelligrini will sort it out away from home, we simply cannot keep dominating without scoring, probability dictates this.

Tick tock.

Its like you are repeating my posts from a month ago when United were supposedly finished...

United are hard working, don't create too many chances and score most of their goals from set pieces - i'd say Moyes has instilled his DNA on the team quicker than any of the other new managers but you are finished in terms of winning trophies. Moyes doesn't win trophies.

we've been finished since 2008 according to you...

Its actually quite laughable you consider trophies won with previous clubs as important.. yet put so much faith is pelligrini... this is the man who has managed Villareal, Madrid and Malaga and has yet to win a trophy in Europe... he's not won a title in over decade.. and we aren't counting inter-toto.. its the european equivalent of the FA trophy..

Then you sacked Mancini one of the most successful mangers in European football at the moment.

One nil down already and not playing well.
Will the true England please stand up to be counted.

I know you wont believe me but that was one of our worst performances at home this season.

In all honesty If we can fix our away form we will take the league with ease!

Pellegrini is the man.

Yes, it was 7-0 last time against Norwich.

AVB looked a bit crestfallen as he walked from the dugout. Enjoyable game

Not a bad result for 'a side in transition'

City done a lot better since Hart has been dropped.
