Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

Don't think a lot of teams will take points off of Stoke at home this year so I'll take it. At least I'm not deluded enough to claim on easy 3 points when Walker and Bentelab were basically ManU players in disguise yesterday.

I just watched the ManC game and lets see them play a team that actually tries from the get go before making a judgment. WBA was terrible and basically just showed up to lose. Pulis claimed he set them up too attacking but they really did nothing and never tested the mid 2 of Toure and Fernandinho.

ManC fans were also introduced to Sterling missing sitters, for all his qualities his finishing is just soooo bad.

Crazy Barca vs Sevilla game, lot of fun to watch.

Actually has to do with a march by a English Nazi Party through the Birmingham area this weekend so the move to today was requested by the police.

Both games this morning were great.

Arse vs. CP - Arse should have been up 2 or 3 nil in the first 15 minutes. After that Coquelin, who like Fellaini should just be given a standard yellow to start every match, should have been sent off and if CP had spent 12m pounds on an actual Striker and not the turd that is Connor Wickham I think they would have at least gotten a point. Arse was really hanging on there at the end.

ManC vs. Chelsea - There is no real winner here as they're both plastic shitstains for clubs but my despise of Mourinho is greater than anything else so I'll take it. I have no delusions that this would be the end of Mourinho but my god wouldn't that be great. The whole Medic thing this week where the Mail/Sun are now attacking the Chelsea doctor are fucking despicable and makes me question British press further that they would go along with this. Hopefully this doesn't make Abramovich just go spend 100m on two players now which is probably what they need, they should be going after KdB and Pedro as Mourinho has coached the attacking talent out of everybody but Hazard at this point who is probably half of what he could be under a proper offensive manager. Sterling will be lucky to get to 10 goals playing on the left, predicting the ManC fans will get restless with him at some point as there is no way he'll be taking Silva's spot bar injury.

As far as ManU, Schneiderlin has been the signing he was expected to be and is why Blind isn't getting exploited so far at CB. Spurs don't really have a target man but Villa could have but Agbonlahor on Blind and just knocked balls up to him instead of trying to get past Schneiderlin. Also is that a corpse playing instead of Rooney? If not then ManU is going to be like LFC was last year, create chances but have no end product. Have fun with that.

As for Sterling, he's crap but what he does do is let silva move inside to AMC where he can pull the strings in attack a lot more. When Silva was playing supposedly on the left he would drift in and take up space that was already filled by Nasri and they were getting in each others way. Sterling will stay out on the left more and I think Silva will get highest assists in the league this year.

That match report is hilarious. Once Jose goes again where will they turn?

I get what you're saying on Sterling, but you could accomplish the same thing using a player half the price and that could actually finish from the wing. Sterling's best at LFC was centrally behind Suarez or Sterling or on his own. That's not happening at ManC.

I think Rodgers decided early on that whoever was available for the full pre-season was going to start to give us the best chance to win right away. I understand why he's doing it but Lallana is making my prediction last year look terrible and Ibe isn't ready for a full time starting gig.
