They showed no fight whatsoever which is most dangerous.

 

Was at my local teams game yday and they were getting beat by Linfield 0-2 with 80mins up and won 3-2, one of the best feelings ever when the winner went in. Palace have non of that!

City are by no means at all unstoppable. That defence is there for taking, I mean it currently contains Fabian Delph & John Stones for crying out loud. They were there for the taking yesterday but Conte was playing for the draw right from the off which was pretty shocking really. Anyone who sits back against them WILL get steamrollered but I think a team who comes and has & go could easily beat them. Liverpool were all over them prior to the Mane red card in their game for example.

I don't know whether we would have beaten them if Mane stayed on the pitch, the game could have gone either way. We certainly would not have been steamrollered.

 

None of the teams are unstoppable this year, but City are certainly the most impressive for me right now. Silva is absolutely key to them though and the system Guardiola is operating.

Palace are done. I mean to be fair they probably should have scored yesterday and if they had not let such a sloppy goal in within the first 3 minutes then things may have been very different. Hodgson is about the worst appointment they could have made.

 

Man City look dangerous.

As someone who was actually there, Palace was never going to score. They never looked dangerous in the final third. Even from corners they were never anywhere connecting with a ball. Our Defense is one of the best in the league, f*** all chance Palace were penetrating that

Assuming Palace lose their next game (at home to Chelsea) they will have 30 games left to get around 38 points. In other words, their form for the rest of the season will need to be roughly that of a team finishing comfortably in the top half. That will require a massive improvement on their current form.

So glad to see Arsenal in 5th place after a rocky start Newcastle and Liverpool drew, could get another 3 points next weekend against Watford hopefully. Just noticed Manchester City beat Chelsea yesterday.

Have a look at this debate which was on Sky Sports between Jamie Carragher ft some Liverpool fans (Redmen TV) & Gary Neville with some Man United fans (FullTimeDEVILS)

 

 

As for the match itself I think a draw would be highly likely as Liverpool normally raise their game when they play us at Anfield whilst at the same time I can't see us having enough of an off day to lose this match, even though we will be without Fellani and Pogba who have been on good form this season.

 

As cliche as it seems the game could go either way. Games after the international break are always hard to tell and you never know which players may be suffering from a little bit of fatiuge & a minor injury. I just hope it is a great game of football. Personally I don't see Mourinho having the balls to attack us consistently, but I suspect he may come at us hard in the first 10-15 minutes to try and nick a goal then sit back. I'd love to see us win it as it would be a massive 3 points, but I am not so optimistic at the moment. Draw seems the likeliest.

It's no surprise the Liverpool vs United match ended 0-0, it was very much like the equivalent game from last season where both teams never really looked like scoring. I don't think it's a bad point for either side and was probably a fair result.

What game did you watch? United didn't come to play at all, that's not to say Liverpool deserved to win they couldn't break you down and we have no wingers but United barely attacked especially in the second half!

On another note ArsenalFanTV is going to be amazing tonight :lol:

 

Liverpool certainly had all the chances but were wasteful once again. We had one BIG chance but didn't take it. Not overly happy with the way we performed, we should have exploited their defence more but it's a better point for us than Pool. Playing for the draws away is all well & good but only if we back it up with home wins in the reverse fixtures, which didn't happen last season.

Again wait and see until the Manchester derby regarding Man City. Certainly looking like the pacesetters with that performance today.

And somehow Crystal Palace beat Chelsea. They score their first 2 goals of the season, beat the champions. That's crazy. Still in serious trouble already but I doubt it is a start of a comeback.

And onto the third match from MOTD. A quite spirited effort from Watford to beat Arsenal with the winner in the second minute of stoppage time. I think it is the first time Watford have beaten Arsenal in the Premier League possibly at home

They actually beat them in January this year at the Emirates! Definitely the surprise package this season so far sitting pretty in the top 4.

What a stupid thing to do, Andy Carroll in getting yourself sent off for an elbow when he did the same barely two minutes when he got the first yellow.

Even his manager would agree with you there!

Quite a blunt post match interview from Troy Deeney!

It was embarrassing from Man Utd. The most watched game of the season ends up last on Match of the Day. We had a good chance and Dea Gea made a great save, but all the talk in the build-up was about how bad our defence was and how great the Man Utd attack was. They were supposed to come to Anfield and beat us - as I said before the game, Mourinho has no balls.
