TBH, the Utd and Arsenal game will be easier than the Everton one as all they did is put everyone behind the ball and defend. Atleast you lot will try and attack and leave more space at the back.

also i fail to see why united at home will be so easy even though we are the top of the league so have won the most games and best you 2-0 already this season?

I expect we might have a bash. It's going to be a very important game for the premiership race I think.

because you wont put 11 men behind the ball and defend. You will try to win the game by commiting men forward and leaving gaps at the back. Everton didnt do this so they were much harder to break down than you will be

I don;t think ferguson is stupid though, but he has the class and confidence in his team to push forward a bit more without leaving too many chances, I reckon it'll be eaiser to break your defence than everton's as cosmo said your players can't be everywhere (and it's another important and heart on sleaves type match).

Ryan, I know your a Utd fan so lack the knowlegde of the fundamental basics of football so I'll make it as clear as possible....

Utd = good team, Everton = shite team.

Bad teams put 11 men behind the ball to play for a draw, this means its harder to score against bad teams who just defend.

Good teams try to attack, which means less men to defend and more spaces. This means its easier to score against better teams (although easier to conceed too) but also makes it a little easier to win.

You could say that when good teams come up against each other theres everything to play for...

Yes it is a shocking way for a supposedly top team to play, and love the fact Rafa called them a small club for that style of play

Well its true really... they lack the guile to try and wina game and instead play for a draw... a little club thing to do as they show they are desperate for one point instead of happy to play for all 3!

Bolton did the same, although they also added in the tactic of wasting as much time as possible, and that started in the first minute!!

Atleast Portsmouth came and try to play a little, and got a deserved 0-0 draw.

I like Portsmouth, they made Man United play for the FA Cup win. Be nice if they got in to Europe. They have a good enough squad.

I was winding you up, successfully I see aswell

You WILL be easier to beat than Everton, thats for sure. But also easier to get beaten aswell so it should be a good, fairly open, game.

i didn't get wound up lol. i just asked why you thought we were gonna be easy to beat. to which you had no real answer

i suppose we will be easier to beat than everton were as we may concede a goal or 2 like you say. but also we will probably score 1,2,3 or more
