How stupid are Manu?

Is there enough about those teams to stop them getting bummed and losing 6-5? Some of those formations have like 7 attacking players
Agree, it is great having such talented and expensive attacking options but it is a waste to have them sat on the bench so the temptation is to include them all leading to top-heavy team.

Whoever is benched, and surely at least one of Mata/Rooney/RVP/Falcao will need to be to get a balanced team, will be unhappy and they haven't even got the league cup games to give everyone game time.

Will be interesting to see if LVG goes back to a back three once he has more CBs fit. The formation he has now looks like it fits the players better although they look a touch vulnerable down the wings or from a robust midfield.

Got very drunk watching the United game, didn't originally plan to! I was happy with the performance, Daley Blind is going to prove such an important player - it's so nice having a midfield again!

Di Maria is immense and will get better. I am not going to read too much into the result as it's against QPR but at least we played positive football, it's been a long time.

Buzzing at the moment, so much excitement surrounding the club now - still think 4th is a realistic target, we won't get near the league title - it's too soon. I hope we can pip Liverpool or Arsenal (or Everton) to it (Chelsea and City will make the top 2 with ease).

I still think, hand on heart, we'll fail to make the top 4 though.

Fair enough. It was a good performance from your lot, although QPR is really nothing special and at this stage look set to go down unless they properly sort themselves out. Its what I've always said, you'll be in the mix for 4th and Europe but won't go anywhere near top two as they just have not only quality across the whole pitch but also quality in depth. United however, whilst they look better in Midfield are still likely to be very suspect at the back and will ship a few, not to mention you just don't have the depth in either the midfield or defence should injury hit you hard.
Anywhere from 3-7th is a lottery really

Going to be interesting to see how they fare against an organised outfit.
 
It's funny really, we were the "next Leeds" according to some in here a few weeks ago yet we're above Everton on goal difference, and 1 point behind last season's runners up Liverpoo.

Plus, we have no European or League Cup football which will cause fatigue/injuries.

It's going to get very interesting from here on. Who do Everton and Liverpool play next? We've got a tough trip to Leceister.

So exciting going forward, dont blame you for being so buzzing.

City & Chelsea appart, not much to split the next 5 really, I just think the big signings will make the difference in the end, I mean thats why they cost £60 million tbh.

I think United will be 3rd or 4th.
