Fan bias

Just read on the Liverpool forum they'd only have one player from our team and that is Rooney. Pretty ridiculous really when:

De Gea > Mignolet
Rafael > Johnson
Shaw > Flannigan
Herrera > than any of their midfielders
Mata > Coutinho
Rvp and Rooney >>>>>> than Sturridge barring one season

From their team I'd take:

One or two of their centre backs cause even though they're not of Uniteds standard they're still better than Jones and Evans.

Sterling as he's a class player and looks like getting better

Sturridge as he's a better option as third striker than Welbeck and Hernandez

I like Coutinho but we have too many number tens as it is.

I think they're seriously under estimating the effect Suarez had on their team. He was by far the best player in the league last season and he gave the rest of their players a belief it was possible. It's a bit of a travesty he didn't win the league last season cause if ever a player deserved it he did for almost single handedly dragging some decent players and a lot if average ones to the title it was him but for slippy g.

Who would you have from the Liverpool team?

De Gea
Rafael Lovren Sakho Shaw(but Moreno if he signs)
----------Henderson
--------Sterling Herrera
---------------Mata
---------RVP Sturridge

Or something to that effect

The OPs thread about club bias has become the perfect example of club bias itself. You couldn't make it up.

Sturridge over Rooney

It is the job of football fans to be biased towards their teams. Of course I think all of our players are better than all of Liverpool's. But deep down I know it's not true (no I don't).

At the moment I'd have Studge ahead of your strikers and Coutinho ahead of Mata based on last season.

I'd have all our centre backs ahead of yours too as I think yours aren't that fantastic. Rafael over Johnson I'll give you and probably Shaw over Enrique but I'd have Moreno over Shaw if we sign him.

We have infinitely better wingers than you too in Sterling, Lallana, Markovic etc but that's not saying a great deal and our midfielders are clearly better than yours - Herrera has never played in the Premier League and our midfield got us 2nd last season.

Don't get me wrong I think there's a good chance you'll finish ahead of us again but stop overrating your players!

You think there is a good chance we will finish ahead of you despite only our RB being the only player that would make your side?

I struggle to understand the logic there.

I find it incredible you would rather have Coutinho and Sturridge ahead of the likes of Rooney RVP and Mata who are all comfortably better than your 2

Could be classy everywhere but central midfield

Not that United have anyone to replace it until Herrera is up to speed
