Almost in full agreement. Given they will drop in loads of long balls for Ridgewell and Rodgers I'd swap Kolo (cant jump) for Lescott or the boat.

Must win as you say.

SICK of arse, chelsea and scum all conceding first and winning. We KNOW they'll still win.

Whereas when we concede first I think the rest of the league has a party (bar Wolves).

It's our biggest hurdle to overcome if we are to start becoming serious challengers. Those 3 teams can go 2 nil down with 30 mins left and still win the game - what's more you half expect them too as well especially the evil empire.

The difference is that when in that situation they go all out to get a goal, get it and then take the game by the scruff of the neck. We happily pass the ball around and hope one of our 2 chances results in a goal. We don't play the percentages very well.

Brum will look to win this game I sure, they are a real tough nut to crack at St Andrews so if we don't score first I think we won't get 3 points.

We need to be more positive. Would United ever play 3 defensive mid fielders in a game? No chance.
I'd like to see us play Tevez and Dzeko up front, not Tevez playing like a defensive midfielder.

Exactly what I was saying earlier today. We need to score first and we need the three points.
the trip to swamp in near future makes this even more important

A bit worrying that despite all of the players we've brought in, if we're 1-0 down with 20 mins to go, the only attacking options to bring on from the bench are Milner, SWP and Jo.

And that's taking for granted that Tevez will be back tomorrow...

Our bizarre results predictor thingy on the Tables page reckons it will be a nil nil draw and that Blackburn will beat Spurs 1 nil. Results.php

For the first time in the predicted league table it has united at the top of the league :-( Think I might delete the feed now :-P

Who needs fans of our opponents to make that feeble argument when we've got you to do it for them?

Agreed. Except in those games when they don't win. But apart from those games you are spot on.
