OFFICIAL PREMIER LEAGUE 10/11 MT THREAD

vela

bendtner can be clumsy and tends to hold on to the ball for too long

theo doesnt get enough end product to many of his runs

gotta be adebayor as the target man with vela running off him

Scoring 3 against sheff utd is impressive and quality goals, a start in the making left the sheff utd defence for dead. And sheff utd arent a **** team either.

Bentner is a hit and miss but scores quite a few, theo seems quite solid now, how about theo and vela in given a good run although vela prob wont unless theres injuries.

Bendtner will never be a first choice striker for a Premier League winning team.

Tottenham better sort it out in the next few games or we could be in for a very tough season.

What are your thoughts on Liverpool's trip to the biggest club in Manchester?

lol at teg

Tough game for arsenal i expect sunderland to give arsenal a run for there money 2moro, but i expect an arsenal draw anything else is a bad result for them.

Utd will prob topple b'burn comfortably.

Tough game for chelsea, villa could get a draw.

Tough game for lpool also but i expect 3 points, a draw would be a draw back, we defo better not lose lol

Spurs to get there first win!

LOL haha

yeah wil be a tough game in theory for us at city but we are playin v wel at the mo.. fingers crossed anyway!! a draw aint the end of the world but that would make 3 draws in our 1st 7 games.. we need 3 pts from this really!!
could do wi villa and chelsea drawin!! if we won we would go clear top! plus villa right behind us so need some breathin distance!

I think it'll be a draw for us against Villa.

They've given us big problems the last few years and thats not aided by our injuries.

I'd be over the moon with a win but i think a draw is the likely outcome.

City are playing pretty badly but there is always the danger of Rafa tinkering too much after a CL game and also the possibility that city will click as a unit as they did against Portsmouth.

3 points to Liverpool if they play a strong side IMO.

he is bringong back macherano into the side so that means the midfield changing totally to accomadate

Chelsea are in serious injury trouble

monster, bit early in season to be worrying about breathing space, or other teams results, dont want to go clear at the top now and then fade, just need to keep in touch with the leading pack

Right i'm in need of some cash, looking to stick 10 quid on a coupon at the weekend. Whos the top picks to win this weekend?

yeah he rested masch for the game tomorro which would prob mean that xabi may be benched or may play with 3 up top in Sg, keane and nando.. u n ever know!! but read an interview wi rafa the other day and he said, ' we are on fire..' ' i dont want to change the team..'.. so hopefully not too many changes will be made!!
i agree with integra.. if we get it right i think we will do it, but if we mess wi things a little too much and city really click it could be a blue win!!

on another note for the reds fans.. have t say im pretty happy so far wi riera! definately looks t be fittin in very nicely!!
also, read today R.Madrid will def be makin a bid for Agger in jan. he's their top target!! hope he doesnt go.. seriously think he has world class capabilities!!

When ever i predict a score i get it wrong so id rather not say what i think..... :)

I find it hard to believe Benitez would pick 3 up front at the COMS with City usually playing 5 across the middle.

Still, you never know he might actually start picking his best team on a regular basis.

well he has picked best team for the last fewgames.. or at least the team that is winnin us matches!! i'd still start babel every wk but obviously rafa has other plans..
im just thinkin hto, if he is def playin masch which he has said he is, i wonder how he will fit him in cos xabi has been v good htis season so far so wonderin how he can fit him in wihtout changin the formation really..

Yeah i read about agger this morning too and was ****tin them casue hes a world class player, better than skrtel in my books. But rafa this afternoon dismissed reports of an agger move and said hes not for sale, can let a player like that go, but then again he shouldnt be on the bench.

Yeah i saw that interview too, Rafa also said the other day that hes going to start babel in games instead of using him as a super sub.

I would say the one's in bold will win but i feel the rest of the matches could be too close to call, alot of potential draws imo.
