Would Kagawa have been an answer against City? I didn't see the match so I am not in the best position to judge. But, I saw the match against Leverkusen, and he did not look that good. Either he wasn't fit or something, but he got pushed away and dispossessed way too easily by Leverkusen's players. So him playing in City is like throwing him in a fire, with City having much stronger and better midfielders than Leverkusen.
Anyway I really don't like Asian players in England, never felt that the style matched.

Bringing on Kagawa wouldn't have made much difference. City exposed United's left flank and Moyes waited too long to change the formation in response.
I don't understand why he chose to leave a rising force like Dortmund for a fairly mediocre United side. |

Hope you guys will concede me a short moment of glory since it looks like what we've done last year not only got us an award for best academic youth project but has somewhat inspired the English FA to follow a similar example: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...ng-school.html
Although money and big sponsors will always play the biggest role it's good to know that the investments and effort spent in developing the youth system might pay off and favor the growth of the club and the whole football movement as well. |

Kagawa's performance against Leverkusen was expected from anyone making his first appearance in the season, and yet he generated a few good things with his own creativity. I'm not sure criticism would have gotten bad if he scored after making a nice chest control; pundits recognized his contribution in making the entire attacking setup look more dangerous against Leverkusen than it ever was against City. However, let me tell you this: if coaches said to both David Silva and Juan Mata that they would live and die with them despite the "lightweight" criticism, why can we not do the same with Kagawa instead of overprotecting him? The only way a player will improve, especially a player of talent, is by letting him adjust through a string of games. Either way, anybody on the left flank is better than the useless and good-for-nothing TWAT named Ashley Young. Furthermore, the fact that Moyes only made one change in the entire game against City was just plain insulting. I just HATE David Moyes, his conservative approach, his lack of faith in talented players and his mid-table club mentality. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses the dressing room before the end of the season. Should have made Jürgen Klopp the highest earner among all managers instead of hiring Gollum as our manager. |

About that real Madrid elche game uh. Some penalty. Even as a Madrid fan I'm kinda of embarrassed. But I guess that is part of football too I guess. Luck and shitty refereeing. I don't think the referred was bribed as people like to accuse Madrid of doing. Why would they have bribed a referee in game that everyone already thought they were going to win?

Ref probably felt that the striker wasn't hindered from taking the shot. Still, should have been a penalty and a red card. Pretty much the same as shirt pulling.

Loved Serge Gnarby's cool finish against Swansea today and the build-up to Rambo's goal was exquisite.

Incredible week - Mancs lost matches they would have eaten up in previous campaigns, and Arsenal grinding out a win that they would have drawn. With the other London derby ending in a draw it firmly puts us at the top with a 2-point advantage and if we could build it into something like 10 points by Christmas, we're in good stead for the rest of the reason, barring any major slip-ups.
Great goals by Gnabry and Ramsey. Really enjoyed them. |

Let's see...Ramsey scored yet another goal, United in shambles, City lost an easy game, and Spurs and Chelsea drew, the best possible result for the match of the London knockoffs.
Did Arsène sacrifice a goat to the Old Ones when we weren't looking? /// Realistically though, I'm very worried Arsenal's glorious momentum would be crashing against an inspiring Napoli side. If we somehow win that match however, the quadruple is bloody well on. |

Anyone know the story of Ramsey?
Apparently, the reason why he suddenly performed so well this season, was because previously he got a curse sealed within him, that will kill a high profile person every time he scored. So the guy could not play to his best. But somehow he successfully lift that up during the summer, and now can freely get on goaling spree....
