The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

He scored against the blue shite at Wembley...WORTH IT!!!

[Colly]

I still think he's ruddy good if he's fit, sadly that never happens.

[Jimmy]

Carroll is right up there though. It's typical of how much we overrate English players. Guy literally had half a good season in the PL and silly teams like Liverpool and West Ham agree to pay him astronomical wages.

And how is that Carroll's fault?

[Lineker]

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana will miss the start of the season after suffering a knee injury in training. The 26-year-old, who joined the club in July, damaged his lateral collateral ligament during the club's pre-season tour in the United States. The England international, who played in this summer's World Cup, does not require surgery but could be ruled out for up to six weeks.

Wayne Rooney has been overlooked for the captaincy in van Gaal's second game in charge tonight.

The captain is Tom Cleverley.

[Liam]

Lateral collateral?

[MDK]

Ouch

[Baddar]

LVG is just trolling us now. His interview with Clev present was funny though.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

It's because Cleverley is one of two players who will play the full 90 minutes. Could do with the confidence boost as well.

Lateral collateral?

Inside knee ligament.

[TCO]

Shit players are shit regardless of confidence, just look at Nicklas Bendtner!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

He's a good squad player, not great but not shit. Lost all of his confidence last season under Moyes and then went through a public bashing with the ridiculous petition against him. van Gaal wants to restore the confidence and hopefully can get him back to performing the way he was prior last season when he was actually performing well.

[The Lusophone]

Cleverley is very much the kind of player who should thrive under LVG.

[Berober]

It's because Cleverley is one of two players who will play the full 90 minutes. Could do with the confidence a talent boost as well.

[Gazz]

Cleverley is very much the kind of player who should thrive under LVG. be playing in the Championship.

[Baddar]

Rooney has put Utd ahead. Was a worldy too.

I badly want Clev to do well, but I just can't see it.

Edit: 2-0, Mata. Great assist from Rooney, nice finish too.

[Baddar]

3 up at HT. Going better than expected!

[Whisper]

Finished 3-2. Not bad after all the changes... people need to check out Pjanic's goal by the way.

[Sam]

I'm sure Van Gaal realises that signing a CM and a CB needs to be on the top of his to do list. An extra RB/LB wouldn't go amiss either.

[Kaney]

Bradley Wright-Philips gives NYRB the lead against Arsenal at half time.
