Another big match for Chelsea. Leicester City vs Chelsea, Leicester last match is win and at their home too. This match also play at their home. I think over 2.5 goals is a good pick for this match.

All the online news agencies have been bashing Manchester United after that shameful defeat at Watford but honestly I don't think the footballers and the coach are to blame. Mourinho bought a lot of expensive players and thought individual class would bring success but if there is no cohesion in the team United won't find their winning ways again. Leicester did the impossible with modest players but the teamwork was on point unlike United at the moment.

I don't think it's totally about cohesion and the team gelling together anymore.  It's becoming clear that since Sir Alex left that it's something more.  The team seems cursed or something.  It's more about their attitude and mentality.  Do you know the feeling when you got so used to winning and thinking that you can never lose?  Then one day you just keep losing and you don't have any idea why and what to do.  I had the same happen to me in poker.  So that made me eventually quit.  I think it's something the same with United.  They are in a middle of a rut.

In my opinion the best way to get out of that rut is to get rid of the old players and start from scratch.  The United board has to accept this and take the risk of rebuilding from scratch.  Sir Alex is gone.  It's time for a new era, but the Sir Alex type of dominance won't happen anymore at United...  Not in a long time.

To start this new era they should hire a young manager and spend on young players and get some at the U21 squad to play senior roles.  This will take years in rebuilding the squad.  I think the best manager for this would be Thomas Tuchel of BVB.

Liverpool is in amazing form and will win this match easily, so that I am pretty sure Liverpool -1.5 looking interesting and it will be good option to place bet on this pick, Derby is on home ground but Liverpool is unstoppable at the moment.

Yeah, i'm also think Liverpool can easily win on this match and Derby is really sucks on England Championship league even this match play Derby home, but it's better wait until the lineup shows.

I don't think Yaya will play in league matches unless there's no other choice.  He will play in the League Cup or in the FA Cup though vs League 1 or Championship clubs.  As for Kompany, I think Pep has no real need for him at this point.  I mean look at the squad, Kolarov or Otamendi are doing a good job at center back with John Stones.  This could be Kompany's last season at City.

Remember when Pep took over Barca?  He got rid of Yaya, Ronaldinho and then Etoo.  I think he is also slowly revamping City by removing its influential players.  Hart is the first to go, Kompany next then Yaya.

Mourinho should follow this too by removing Rooney, Carrick then Smalling.
I like your explanation, but I dont think what Pep doing in City could be a success way too for Mourinho if he follow the method. So far, Pep succeed to maximize the performance of Kolarov, De Bruyne, Iheanacho, and especially Sterling who didnt play well in last season. Like I said before, most of Premier League coaches have known Mourinho's strategy, thats why Chelsea failed last season. So Mou has to seek a new formation to get out of this hard situation. Mou once to make Casillas sat on the bench in Real Madrid, and it has been proven that the decision didnt give good impact for the team performance. So, I'm pretty sure it will give the same result if he remove Rooney.

I think he is in a dilemma then.  If he doesn't bench Rooney then United will have a slow, uncreative attacking midfielder.  There was a good reason why Sir Alex tried to sell him in his final year at United.  Maybe LVG had the right idea when he played Rooney deeper in the center midfield.  Rooney's passing is still ok, and I guess he could still defend well.  It's his pace and his creativity are what's gone.

What do you think of this line up?

                                                                         Ibra

                Rashford ------------------------------------ Pogba ----------------------------------- Miki

                                       Rooney (or Carrick) ------------------ Schneiderlin (or Fellaini)

        Shaw ----------------------- Smalling (or Blind) ------------------- Bailly ------------------ Valencia

                                                                          DDG

You got three creative players behind Ibra.  And Rashford can drift up front when Ibra moves down.  Also with Pogba it's the same, he can move up with Ibra as an attacking threat, then Miki can drift in the middle behind him with Valencia taking the wide position in the attack.

Pogba was also used as an attacking midfielder at Juventus with great success.  Mourinho should find a way to use him well.

pogba is not attack miedfielder  not triquista, paul pogba defensif miedfielder
so in replace positition to attack is miedfilder is bad
is very bad  is wayne rone replace position to defensif mieldfielder

Juventus used to play him in that position from time to time though and with great effect.  And I'm quite sure Pogba could play the role at United.  He's still young, strong, good with the ball and can be quite creative on the pitch.  I also think giving him a bit of freedom will do United some good.
Yeaaa juventus placed him at attacking midfielder position since first time he join.
As pogba have a high instinc to score and kicking the ball outside penalty box .
He need to get that place back , but mourinho placed him on central midfielder to battle on winning ball and passing only.

Everton vs Norwich over 2.5 goals is I like the most @1.58. I know that Everton to be at home is like safest pick against Norwich right now. Derby vs Liverpool odd is really high for Liverpool of @1.30 Ml I will not miss this best as well. Liverpool is is going win without even facing some serious resistance by Derby.

I also like Liverpool to beat Derby and I also like Arsenal to win their match against Nottingham Forest. I may also take a small parlay with Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds to win and Leicester City +1 European handicap. What are people's thought's on Arsenal to win? I haven't seen anyone mention Arsenal against Nottingham Forest. Arsenal are at good odds 1.53 on Directbet to win the game.

Malaga v Eibar ( eibar +0.5)
Seems malaga can't take the advantage play as a host and eibar is the team always playing defensive so if this match not draw maybe eibar will win.

Rooney isn't in his best.his best carer is over, Manchester united should make a change. Give a younger player a chanve.

It is about time that rooney is replaced however one thing that cant be replaced of him is the captain . He needs to be subs every 45 minutes to give youngster some chance however you cant really dump him instantly because it will affect the morale of the team so the best way is to sub him every 45 minutes or so

Just like Henderson in Liverpool. He is captain. This season he played really well, but last season he isn't  consistent. So Jurgen Klopp always keep him on the  bench. But the result  is good enough.

Henderson is not really a captain, gerrard is still the captain for liverpool. Unlike gerrard, henderson still needs year to be considered as a captain however without rooney in manchester united, it is tottally going to be a different team therefore almost no one is going to ever to replace rooney as the captain
currently Henderson is the primary captain for Liverpool indeed Gerard is more better than him but in the several matches he has made important goals to carry Liverpool won the matches such as last week that Henderson has been made awesome goal from outside penalty box and indirectly he has carry Liverpool beat Chelsea

In Gerrard last season in Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers keep Gerrard on a bench for a many times because his performance not as good as always. And like Francesco Totti at As roma. He sit on a bench almost in every game, But As Roma played good enough. Manchester United have to give more trust to other player.

Man Utd with another lost... Sad Sad

and also Stoke City is in the bottom of the table with 1 point which is really shocked for me...
I think they got a good squad  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

José Mourinho only win 14 in his last 32 league games. He is not special Anymore. 

He can be special if he coaches Real Madrid, but now is not special. Paul Pogba plays badly this season, maybe Juventus is the best choice for Pogba.

They need to drop wayne rooney its really simple.  Have 2 holding midfielders and give pogba freedom to attack whenever.  I think this could happen very next game they just lost 3 in a row.
