    I'm all ready to build on that 0 point foundation I've built from last week's predictions. Although I'd be much happier with a win for the good guys. BTW, is COYB something that's used by all fans or just a social media campaign? Sorry for the newbie question.

    Are you talking about this recent match? If not, then my apologies, but neither team scored.

    I was, and you're right, sorry. I was mixing up that game and the Madrid vs. Madrid match. Because that's what I do.

    Idk. I thought Giroud looked like he hadn't found his touch yet, but that Sanchez looked great. They also got a 1-1 draw while playing poor without Oezil and in an absolutely electric and hostile stadium.

    So I'm legitimately wondering how many of us were watching the game with 10 minutes to go and knew how this was going to end. The writing was really on the wall given the flow of the game and how we like to give up points to "lesser" opponents. I think we're in a good position to work on our closing mentality now, though. Given that we know how good our team can be (from last year's results), the only culprits would be match fitness or lack of concentration. Match fitness shouldn't be an excuse because all teams are in the start of the season now.

    The only things separating us from a champion's league spot is that lack of mental toughness toward opponents we should beat, and a small amount of squad depth. One of those can be addressed systematically over this course of this season and will benefit us greatly in the long term, and the other we can throw a couple of bucks toward some players for loans as far as I'm concerned.

  17. Longest Thread! for Everton Discussion

    I just saw the draw for the second round of the League Cup and was surprised to see that Everton are not mentioned. Looking into it, it seems that teams that play in Europe receive two automatic byes and first play in the third round. It's especially gratifying to see United playing in the second round. :)

    Ha! That's great. Both the bye news and the MU news. Time to get some new silverware.

    My questions with him are mentally at this stage. Technically he is superb, but in both games he lost the ball early and dived straight into a nasty challenge which was quite impetuous. I imagine that is because he is trying to impress but I can see him doing that in the Derby and getting sent off early!

    I get the same sense. I looked at the video of his first impressive touches and after going "woah", I got the feeling that he was very close to losing the ball in a dangerous spot, and might not have even realized the third player was there before he did his second move and the cross. I think he's got to be a little bit more careful, but I'm still excited!

    Timing is off sadly, trial is over. Just the verdict to come.

     

    But pretty sharp (if you ignore the fact that he's been winning "legless" all his life).

     

    How sad am I; sitting in on a Saturday night analysing jokes :(.

    If I had to rate how sad analyzing comments is, I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
