Premier League Fixtures - 22/23/24th August (Spoilers)

Funny as a lot of pundits have been commenting on Walcott saying his career is standing still at the moment. Bought in as a striker but he's not cutting the mustard so he's been put out on the right hand side of midfield. This really is a make a break season for him I think.

He's got pace to burn but there is something about him I can't put my finger on that says he wont make it as a very top player. Hope he does but i'm just not convinced.

exactly my feelings too, he's got a lot of the attributes to be a top player but i think he lacks a bit of football intelligence on the wing to be honest ....and the only way i see him playing up forward again is as a sub, he's never going to be a henry type roaming forward unless he develops a hell of a lot in a short space of time.

for me the 'he is only young' excuse is starting to wear a bit thin, you're either good enough to play at the top level at a big club or you're not.....rooney never needed 3yrs development, a cracking goal at highbury and he never looked back.

Who else plays there? Thats fit?

eboue :p, diaby can play on the wing also.

Walcott is more of a winger than them two though.

Arsenal's team was basically normal, bar Fabregas.
 
Was good game, Chelsea didn't turn up, shame we don't have a goal scorer, going to be a long season.

And I am not biting to any of your ignorant Wigan haters.
 
Team:

VDS

Brown
Ferdinand
Vidic
O’Shea

Fletcher
Scholes
Anderson
Evra

Rooney
Tevez

ANDERSON!

Bench:

PIG
Neville
Evans
Rafael
Fabio
Rodrigo
Campbell

Much better team than I expected but I'm not sure about Evra on the wing. Nice to see Fabio involved as well.

The Man U midfield are already looks a lot better with Anderson in it. Evra left midfield though? Has he played there before? I guess he has the right attributes.

He played there when we were struggling at the start of last season. He's ok there but teaming up with O'Shea on the left side is a recipe for disaster, he's just woeful going forward.

Just noticed Giggs is out, he was meant to have recovered.
