West Brom may be struggling but what I liked the most today was the body language of all the United players (except for RVP). The team looked much more confident than in recent months.
RVP will be very difficult to replace, but I have to admit he looked like he didn't want to be there.
4th still looks a bit out of reach unless Arsenal cave in, but I think most of us will be happy enough if the team builds on today's performance and get the right players in the next window.
1.) Rvp difficult to replace? U guys are just so good in making some1 god.
Wake up. He is here since 1.5 seasons but united were winning even without him. But he was not winning without united.
He clearly is showing arrogant attitude problem against Moyes.
I m not a Moyes supporter but even fergie wouldn't allow player power whoever he is.
So chill. Rvp is a little mean of united success. Not some1 without whom united would struggle for long.

I expected Liverpool to win yesterday, and be 8 points clear before today. The gap is now 6 points. If we can narrow that gap before March 15th it will be a crucial game in deciding who gets 4th. Rooney & RVP coming back will make a huge difference. I don't blame Moyes for our current predicament. The board made a mess of the changeover and ruined the last window for him. A new player in this window would be welcome for morale alone, but it will probably take this and the next three windows to sort out the squad. And I completely agree with pancho about Smalling.
1.) Liverpool dropping points yesterday was one f the few chances we're going to get to make up ground. Rather than take it we ended the weekend a further point behind. You also seem to be forgetting about Everton and Spurs. At the moment they are both playing better football than us.
2.) Redseven - Liverpool, Spurs and Everton will ALL drop points between now and May, as will we. We can close the gap, but it will be tough. We need to see some big players return and I don't mean Ando ;)
3.) I am still leaning towards spurs being the team that will be up there. they have a few injuries an done they get some of their guys back, they are more of a three than liverpool.
4.) Red seven not just spurs and Everton add Southampton Newcastle and even Cardiff are playing much better football than us.
5.) Beating Liverpool won't have an impact on finishing 4th. They are not good enough to finish Top 4 and clearly neither are we.
City
Arsenal
Chelsea
Everton
Spurs
Liverpool
United
Newcastle
Which by my reckoning means no European football at all. That may be a blessing in disguise. Though obviously won't feel like it and will impact the players we can bring in.
What United need to do is flex their financial muscle we all know they can do and offer treble your wage deals for the likes of Vidal, Gundogan, Koke.
Some speculation we are in for Cavani which would be very much welcomed as looks odds on Rooney will be departing.
With no European football though it may be a big ask to get some of the names we want.
6.) Halesini
Is that your predication for the final table. Everton will not finish 4th, we will get 4th mate, need spurs to drop points.
Liverpool and Everton will drop points.
7.) Rian
every PL game for the rest of the season is critical, not just the so-called 6 pointers with Everton and Liverpool.
we need a run of victories if we are of contemplate even 4th.
and a talisman
for us, the seagulls have stopped following the plough. where are you now C?

I know it's been said before, but I think losing SAF & Gill at the same time has caused a lot of uncertainty at boardroom level, and United would have had a much better window if Gill had at least stayed for Moyes first season. The disruption caused by the lack of continuity can only be blamed on the Glazers.
My only criticisms of Moyes so far would be that he doesn't seem to know what to do with Kagawa, and buying Fellaini smacked a little bit of desperation. Other than that it's just too early to say. He needs to really make a statement in January and get a couple of top players in though.

Fail to prepare. Prepare to fail.

Fernando to Everton is off. Wonder if this will scupper Fellaini moving?
I think the double bid is just paper talk, but maybe Vidal could happen imo. Question is whether it is now or the summer. I would be over the moon if we got Vidal and a half decent l/b in this window, but it is hard to see Juve letting him go mid season unless they receive a huge bid.
Thanks so much for that Ed002. Options on L/B seem limited which is worrying.
I agree with CAM, we need at least two from that list. With Juve's interest in Nani, I agree with dustbin and Macman, we should go all out to get Vidal. He is exactly what we need. No club wants to pay over the odds, but what if we finish 5th? How much would that cost? Normally we can wait until summer, but this window is different. We are unlikely to finish 4th with the current squad. Vidal and a left back who can actually defend, and things could change very quickly. If we don't finish in the top four, it will be so much harder to attract top players.
I wonder if his head has been turned by his agent, trying to get him away from City for one last payday for both of them. City would struggle to replace him, so here's hoping.
I agree Belgium are worth a punt to make the semis. As a fellow Irishman I'd also like to see England do well, but they'll have to get something from the Italy game otherwise that group will swallow them up.
Chelsea might just pip City due to fixtures slightly favouring them. Liverpool should finish 3rd. Arsenal 4th if they don't implode. United could sneak 5th but would probably have to win at Goodison to do so.
Well I can tell you that the financial implications of Suarez signing a new deal are that he will now be sold for top market value probably in 18 months time, but if he has a great World Cup and a massive offer comes in then this could be his last season with your lot.
I'm not convinced by Smalling. He hasn't improved enough since he signed for United. But I agree that we are in good shape in this group Sydney.
