You need a defender, a midfielder (Wesley obv..how did this not happen in the summer?) and a striker.....don't know who the striker would be TBH.

A trip to Basle needing a point will not be easy at all.

Thnak you for your insight. What price would you give on Manchester United getting that point? And what price the win?

I price both at absolute fucking million.

hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha

didn't have the balls to offer any price at all before the event though didya?

Well there was no point because the price was 1/5 and 1/2 and I doubted you wanted to get involved at those sort of odds.

But siddddddddddddddddddddddaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Off to Old Traffordforthe Wolves game.
Two free tickets from friend of a friend

Fletcher got to take a break from the game. Not looked the same since his illness last year. Hopefully comes back as good as ever.
I really rate what he does for Man U after years thinking he could never be a footballer and there was no position he could play.

I'm torn between thinking he is utter dross and good!!!

for example he does well for man utd but he has absolute superstars next to him in the team.... for Scotland he is utter dross but again doesnt have same quality next to him.... BUT surely if he is a good player he should improve the team nonetheless; I think he makes Scotland worse when he plays.

Still hope he gets fit again; must be horrible having something like that when you should be in the prime of your playing career.... at least an injury is just one of the risks of the job!

 with the obvious exception of Rooney I don't think we currently have any 'absolute superstars'

Fletcher had a great sense of position and generally a good eye for reading the game - he's not been back long enough to have fully recovered that sense of where to be and who's doing what. I'm sure he will soon.

I'm a Fletcher fanboy.

Somehow, this poor team that needs a centre back, a playmaking midfielder and a striker is top of the league and an Arsenal win away from holding that position going into Christmas week...

[George2Loose]

We looked good today. OK it was against QPR but haven't seen us play that well for a while. Hopefully a sign of things to come

[anthonyl]

Jones is an absolute beast. Power, pace, and stamina.

Evans could have had a hatrick, but he did OK at defending today.

Passing looked like it was back to what it was for the first 10 games but defo missing something alongside Jones.

After the performance on Saturday lunchtime I was prepared for it to be a pretty bad weekend. We were poor and the only bright spot was Berbatov's involvement in the game - a season ago he wouldn't have been anywhere near our penalty area

The Tottenham and Chelsea results lightened my mood a little - ok the Chelsea result lightened my mood quite a lot, and then, yesterday afternoon, I was happy at 0-0 with seconds to go and laughing uncontrollably when Ji popped up at the end to win it for Sunderland.

Can we win the title playing as we did on Saturday? Emphatically no.
Can we improve? Of course we can, the lack of cover in central defence is worrying as is the lack of a genuine midfield playmaker, but SAF is The Man and I'm not about lose faith in his judgement of who or what we need.

Next weekend will be fun... especially if the Scousers can get a result at City on Tuesday (and we manage a win at Newcastle - not at all to be taken for granted)
