Must win game now for us, we win and we will go ahead of man city and spurs :)
 
Good game and both could have scored a couple in the 2nd half. Arsenal bringing on the last samurai is pretty much the same as having a player sent off.
 
Draw was a fair result the next goal was crucial at 2-1 both teams had missed opportunities. Perfect start to the weekend for United.

I don't think this Arsenal vs Southampton game is going to be anywhere near as close as everyone is making out. Home win.
 
Chelsea is stomping west ham. The hammers are putting up a better fight than the first half. United wins tomorrow against Cardiff will put them back in the top 5. I can't doubt Cardiff though, those guys play well and have a few tricks. United can't take them lightly.
 
How long does that excuse remain valid I wonder. Almost half way into the season and United are playing far worse than they were at the start.
 
we had a transitional period under fergie between 2004-2007 but we never dropped this low

but if the board and more importantly fergie feels moyes really is the man for the job there needs to be money available to him in abundance. he needs to get rid of Nani, Evra, Young, Cleverley, Anderson, Fellaini, Welbeck.... :| but thats not realistic, you dont just throw this many players out lol but these players have not stepped up

Thankfully teams above us are f***ing up too alot (4 losses for city, 3 for chelsea already) so we still have a chance at top 4

Sir Alex took a good 4 years before he hit his stride, I'm willing to give Moyes time, but the players need to step up. Like you said, the players need to either go or step their game up. Rooney and Van Persie are the only ones with that killer instinct to score. Januzaj is good, but I'm not gonna put the weight on him just yet, the kid has potential, and he has been playing really well, but he's I wouldn't start him over RVP or Rooney.

Welbeck, Cleverley, and the other attackers? Yeah, I'd put Januzaj in over them. Midfield sucks and ball control is poor as s***, these guys play like amateurs.
 
Sir Alex didnt take over a champion team though so moyes doesnt get as much comfort zone
 
Very tough game, Everton were excellent for long stretches of the game. I'll take the point.

Yes Everton looked really good. The channel I recorded the game on was pretty much unwatchable the second half because of a poor satellite feed but it looked like Arsenal got stronger late in the game.
 
Yeah, Arsenal had a lot of bright spells too. 5 points is a decent lead to have going into the glut of games around Christmas.
 
City going to be taught a lesson tonight would be my guess.
