What are you guys talking about? City is dopping points at Anfield this Sato - the Kop only know how to produce in big team matches...and we'll be there waiting to pick up the pieces

Wait for the backlash!!

That looks almost like a certainty.

@ Smano, City might get something out of the L'pool match what i'm sure of is whether Mansita can get anything against the magpies. Here's an article from a Mansita fan

BACK TO BASICS OR SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

"It’s an interesting question to ponder. Since that game against Manchester City, United have gone on a winning streak that would usually be accompanied by a chorus of praise from the fans and the media. Five wins, eight goals scored and none conceded, but no one seems convinced. Around the club, and amongst some fans, this run is talked about as, “getting back to basics”. I’m not exactly sure what “basics” are in a football sense, but it seems to be playing uninspiring football, against mediocre opposition, and snatching scrappy 1-0 wins for the most part.

I am not going to deny that I, personally, would rather have the points without the grand performances than the other way around, but there is no denying that United have to improve if they are going to take out a second consecutive Premier League title. Early days or not, Manchester City are building a big lead at the top of the table, and they don’t look like they have the same problems that eventually turned Chelsea’s form last season. City don’t suffer from the problem of having a core to the squad that is too old and they certainly don’t suffer from a lack of depth, even if Mancini wants to bring in even more players to the club. Time will tell if City will eventually see an end to their magnificent run of form, but frankly, United’s level of performances over the last few week has me doubting that United will still be “only” five points off the pace when that happens."

@Taz, am in agreement with the feelings of the writer but this is football - stranger things have happened. The thing about Man Utd is we know how to win, eventually we'll get back our act together. To play they way we are playing and still win speaks volumes - let us be tested at home by the Magpies...I'll give my verdict then

@ Smano, as has been pointed out above one of the reasons why Utd won the title last season was because their main rivals failed to capitalise on their poor form. This season Man City don't look like dropping points and they will take advantage of every single mistake...the thing is they have depth in the squad. You can't compare their bench to any in the premier league. Last season Berbatov and Chicharito were in very good form, this season no one has really risen to the occassion. I'm afraid City might pull away before christmas.

@ Jus Blazin....We all know Man Utd will improve but question is, at what point? Man City are already 5 pts clear at the top, that should be your target and not the teams behind you in the league. Don't forget that just a few games ago you were 15 pts ahead of Arsenal, now its 7 so anything is possible. All teams always experience a certain time in the season when theres a drop in form not just Utd....you just hope it doesn't prove to be costly. For Man Utd i'm afraid it has in the CL....its either 2nd place or Europa ndogo.

@Impunity, u r still on loan as a fan to Liverpool?? Or u have returned to the Gunners after their better performances??

I think these young guns will give us a good result in Greece tonight:

Andrey Arshavin
Yossi Benayoun
Marouane Chamakh
Francis Coquelin
Johan Djourou
Craig Eastmond
Lukasz Fabianski
Emmanuel Frimpong
Vito Mannone
Ignasi Miquel
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Oguzhan Ozyakup
Ju Young Park
Tomas Rosicky
Andre Santos
Sebastien Squillaci
Thomas Vermaelen
Nico Yennaris

Meanwhile, the other English trio are in danger zone. Let's await their fate.
