Integra Sonic2 we dont, we are weak to balls played into the box, as we dont really have a centre back who will attack the ball, or a mid who will sit and protect when the pressure is turned on, but i do believe the results to hull and stoke are just inconsistencys that happen in football and wont continue. Arsenal need a strong English-style centre half. A Tony Adams or Sol Campbell would turn them into a formidable side against the inferior physical teams. IMO Africans are not so good when it comes to the art of defending. What you on about, Mikel had a blinder in Rome on Tuesday.

Torres on bench, The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Arbeloa, Aurelio, Agger, Carragher, Mascherano, Gerrard, Kuyt, Benayoun, Riera, Keane. Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Torres, Alonso, Babel, Insua, El Zhar. I really wish he would start babel more games. Good team but i would of put babel instead of benayoun, babel needs games if he is to develop.

exactly.. benitez keeps sayin how he is more useful as a sub tho and wants t keep playin him that way for a while!! takes the p1ss really when he has the talent to be world class.!! if rafa isnt careful another big team will come in and offer him agame every wk and he will leave!!we need t keep hold of him!!i wish he would stop playin keane on his own up top too!! he bought him to partner torres.. so u would thiunk that when nando is injured, they would pair him with someone else!! our lack of goals is becomin sl;ightly borin now.. and after all of his tinkerin in the team, rafa has now pretty much stuck with a set team, which isnt scorin!!!!!!! doesnt make sense

Keane + Kuyt up top today mate. Keanes got 2, waht looked like a poor half of football which it was apart from keanes goal and a benayoun chance.

Yeah 2 good goals from keane and very good one from arbeloa. Good win, but farrrr from impressive, very average performance. Sub appearances just wont do for babel, he needs to start. Benayoun a very average players also, to easiely pushed off the ball.

Sonic2 Blinding game, Best atmosphere for ages, not the usual boring old affair when the top 4 play each other. I dont like Man utd but at least they came to play today. So happy with the result just hopefully we can become more consistent now, why tho he took diaby off with only 10 mins left is beyond me he should have stayed on, nasri was world class showed ronaldo how to do it in a big game. United did not look like scoring in the last 20 minutes until we made subs which made us more defensive, should have left it as it was, they would not have had their goal then IMO. Your comparing Nasri to Ronaldo.lol There light years apart mate. Arsenal have got an overdue win and already your becoming over confident,you will be brought back down to earth within a week or 2. Didnt see the whole game only see bits of it in the gym when Arsenal were 2 up,so i will have to see the highlights tonight to see if it was well deserved win for Arsenal. One thing i did notice from uniteds point of view is rafael looked awesome,he was the only player for united who looked like he wanted to make something happen. We have now played Arsenal,Chelsea and Liverpool away from home and were still only 5 points of the pace. With them all to play at home we still have a great chance of retaining the title.
If you love something let it go,if it comes back to you it's yours,if it doesn't it never was.

Benayoun a very average players also, to easiely pushed off the ball. I thought we played well mate, good crisp passing and carved out some good chances, this was the best I have seen Keane for us, and he took his goals very well, Arbeloa's was a nice bonus at the end. Gerrard looked good in centre mid and did some nice through balls. I too would have liked to see Babel start on the right instead of Yossi (as Riera has earnt his place on the left), yossi had a lot of space out there today. However I still dont think Babel is 100% fit at the moment, maybe this is the reason??

Beef i thought the 1st half was quite dull, apart from robbies 2 goals which is true, was a typical average home performance imo, west brom arent a great quality side either, chelsea woulda knocked them for at least 5 imo. This shows too are goal diff is shi*. Defo need more goals. Good that torres is back now though, hopefully we will bag more goals now, him and robbie up top ;)

Tbh i was happy arbeloa scored becasue up to that point, with just 2 goals, i think we were very average with our performance, not as dominant as we should be imo. We gotta up are game becasue most of the teams outside the top 4 arent pushovers, especially this season its going to be prob the most challeneging yet for all positions.

So out of the 9 available how many points did you get.....????? haha United could afford to lose all 3 away to the other big 3 and still come away with the title. Only picked up 2 pts in these 3 games in the treble winning season,still managed a treble. So i am not to down heartened, as we have the chance to inflict all the pain in the 2nd half of the season when the points really matter. Losing away at Liverpool and Arsenal is not as embarrasing as losing at home to Hull and away to Stoke.

Yeah maka is correct, whoever gets the most points between the top 4 isnt necessary going to be the winner, results are dependant on what results the top four get against teams outside the top 4, arsenal beat utd but lost to smaller teams eg hull at HOME and Stoke. No matter who you play, no one seems like there going to back down this season. i believe this will be the most challenging season regarding upsets and results and where each team finishes.

Great game united and Arsenal,really fast flowing game so credit to both teams on that account. But i must say im dissapointed with the misses from Rooney and Ronaldo,really would have expected both to be in the back of the net. LOL at the free kick that led to Arsenals first goal. Nasri's 2nd goal was sublime,also dissapointed Neville was in over Rafael as i havent been impressed by Neville since returning from injury.

Also: Liverpool were shockin against spurs midweek!!! lol Ngog played awful! Mustnt be that good he only cost 1.5m As for babel he gets a full game and plays shi*, i like him but its the truth. El Zhar was awful first half, ok 2nd. Embarassing result...but we could of got back in it if the ref!!! give the blatant penalty decision.

Hargreaves must be good if he`s costing almost £500,000 a game lol. Fancy Man City to beat Hull 1-3 1-4 (sorry Hally mate) can normally sense when City have a edge to them, ofcourse Geo will score for Hull though.

I think he has the potential John( well certainly can see resemblances to Henry at that age, Ronaldo though I think is a different type of player), I think I said that when he first arrived, just give him time, Henry was no great shakes at Marseille/ Juve and the early part of his career at Arsenal.

Henry was top scorer for France as they won the World Cup in 1998, won the French league before the age of 22. Ryan Babel has a European championship U-21 winners medal.
