Big threat is chelsea, Man u always start slow we had a 10 point led on you at one stage last season, Spurs will be the villa of last season

Talksport bolllocks rumour, should give that lad a ticket for the Man u game at ours let him wear his new shirt.

Come off it, fella!

Liverpool, and I hate myself for saying this, will not win the Premier League this year. I just don't think they have enough depth in the team. They get a few injuries, like at the moment, and they're having to bring the youngsters in.

Don't get me wrong though, bringing the young guys through is fantastic for their development, not to mention morale. But it's a burden for them aswell.

It will be you or Chelsea, one more signing in midfield and I reckon you will have enough depth. Rumoured with a move for Van der Vaart this morning.

They have a good enough squad to challenge the top four imo.

He's a top youngster with undoubted potential, but even when he does come over, I don't think Fergie will throw him in the deep end. Depending on where Fergie sees him probably depends on how early he'll be in the first team, when I've seen him he's looked better in the hole, given a free role, being able to roam through the channels and do as he likes. Fergie might see him as a wide player and use him like that. If he uses him as a wide player, then he'll probably play a little earlier, but I can't see him rushing him into the hole.

I think United fans should hope Fergie doesn't do the same with Ljajic as to what he's done with Anderson. Anderson, when he was a youngster, used to play in the traditional Brazilian attacking midfield role, he looked set for stardom there but Fergie's dropped him a little deeper with mixed results. Looking at Ljajic now, he looks far too classy and elegant to drop deeper into midfield.

Obviously post-pre-season results matter much more than pre-season results, because results didn't matter when you were getting beat by Rangers and the South Africans.

Can't agree with any of that mate. How often in football do you get 3/4/5 injuries? Not that often. Once Agger/Skrtel are back and Aquilani is introduced I would say we have more than enough quailty and depth. I'd love another midfielder (wide player) but Johnson is already adding that dimension down the right hand side. He was awesome last night. Insua loves bombing forward as well and worked well in tandem with Benny last night.

United will improve, Chelsea are probably the team to beat and Arsenal will be there or thereabouts. No-one can be written off at this stage.

EDIT - Sorry, of course I agree about bringing the youngsters in and giving them experience. Ayala did ok last night and it was good to see N'Gog gifted a goal as well.

Going to the Nou Camp and winning in front of a full house isn't to be sniffed at no matter what the circumstance. You should try it sometime.

Fair play fella, I understand where you are coming from.

I agree with Johnson though, he's only played a couple of games but he looks to be a fantastic signing.





Well it's about bloody time you agreed with something I said!

Are any of the Europa games on tele tonight? Usually one of Five or ITV 8.

I agree with you 99.9% of the time mate. You just have a 0.1% time when your brain lets you down.

Who cares about competitive football nowadays?

When are the next friendlies? that's where it's at.

Not Bradford by the looks of it.

So basically you nicked a goal then put 10 men behind the ball for 70 mins in a friendly game?

since when was lfc tv free to watch on sky

It makes a change

We beat Burnley in a friendly so we're one of the best teams around at the moment.

Surely you will be at the ground so it won't matter.

Some of us play football not just talk it

Pah!, Everyones beat Burnley!... Apart from Manchester United that is...

Everton are playing a lot better tonight. Saha looks every bit the Premier League striker and a snip at the moment. 3 in 2 now.

The big question now for Evertonians is which club will come in for Jack Rodwell first? I would welcome a bid from anyone bar City the way things are going with them. He was superb tonight, scoring two and he looks such a talent, pacy, strong, two footed, good in the air, good passing etc he's got it all.

I said last season I would have him as a replacement for Scholes.
