Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

lol nothing wrong with a bit of help, its not our fault that the liverpool beach ball scored in the wrong goal.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

To be fair I was pretty worried about OG's form last year, he really slacked after such a big 9/10.

Credit to Young, he was excellent throughout - Fabio too.

Please please please Fergie just stick with De Gea. Yes, it wasn't great keeping, but there is absolutely no point in taking him out at this point. You stick with him.

Other than his mistake, he was pretty good I thought.

I'm only gonna moan one more time - we need more in midfield. Just not good enough imo. Maybe after a full season together those two will gel, and I'm more than happy to wait for it to happen, but if we want to win this year we need something else.

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

De Gea already not trusted? to bad..

imo he is great GK.. will prove with time definetly..
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

It'd be a mistake not to stick with De Gea, I'm sure he'll turn out to be a great keeper.

I thought Young and Cleverley were excellent. I know it's too early to say, but I think Tom is going to be a great player for us. He has that little something when he moves that reminds me of Scholes. Mind, I'm not saying he'll ever be as good, but he keeps the ball very well and is able to play some excellent one touch passing. It'd be nice to see SAF stick with him against lesser teams. He definitely needs to play his share of games.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I know we have Tottenham first, but I believe that with the FA charging Song with violent conduct, Arsenal will be without him and Gervinho for our match against them. Of course no Fab either, and who knows about Nasri.

Then again, we'll be defending against them with no Rio or Vida...could be a high scoring affair!
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

How long are Rio and Vidic out for?!

I thought Rio was out but Vida' would be fine for Spurs. I hope Hernandez gets back to fitness quickly, I think he'll he could go on a bit of a goal spree when he's back fit.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Did anyone see the reserves game last night?
Pogba was immense, especially his pass for Diouf's goal. Can see him featuring in the first team soon if he keeps it up.

Yep, I watched it (sad I know). Pogba was indeed quality, though didn't seem to have the fitness to play out wide. Was seriously limiting his runs in the last half hour.

Arsenal on the other hand were outplayed for 60 minutes, but did waaay better than us in the last 30 mins. Seemed fitter and more willing to run.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Looking more and more like Nasri to MCFC...still desperate for us to sneak in and hijack it, Berba style. Come on Fergie, do some airport kidnapping!

Should be a tough game tonight. Tottenham are obviously well rested, and do have, let us not forget, one of the best starting XIs in the league. Bale/ Lennon against our inexperienced back 4 is a real worry, as is our confidence in what is still not a class midfield.

Predicting a 1-1 or even a 2-1 loss. Which, if it forces Fergie to acknowledge we need a midfielder, would be a good result in the long term.
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Getting outplayed here in the second half.

Well, we were for 5 minutes or so.

You should be down to 10 men, Evans shoulda walked just there.

Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Lovely goals from Man U, although Spurs ought to chuck it against Man Utd, not won a game in their last 24 competitive matches. What a joke record that is.

There's only 2 (possibly Man City making it 3 now that they have trillions of money, just like Chelsea did those years ago) capable of winning the league, the rest are also-rans.

Goalie looks flappy though.

Do you think Gary Neville will get the hang of the smart board tonight?

For what exactly? Even the City fan Alan Smith and ex-Scouser McManananananam didn't once say Evans should ever have gotten a second yellow. His first was a joke as well.

Stirring the pot perhaps?
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Nope, couldnt' care less who won last night, couldn't care less who win's any game in England, but for me Evans (can't mind his booking), but Spurs left back, skipped past him and he cynically brought him down, Smith actually did say he better be careful.

In my opinion it merited a booking, common sense might have prevailed, but IMHO refs don't use that, if that was a Wolves or Blackburn player they'd be sent off, of that I have no doubt.

It happens an awful lot though

Liverpool v Sunderland, Suarez clean through tripped by Richardson. Surely the easiest thing the ref could have done at Anfield would have been to brandish a red card? Nope Richardson got booked
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

Yep, it does happen, your are correct.

However I think more than most times, the decisions will always favour the bigger clubs.

Not a Spurs fan chanted 'off off off' not a Spurs player rushed over to demand a sending off and not a United player looked all that worried.

It was an honest attempt to win the ball, but BAE did a trick to switch the ball behind him and Evans fell for it. If that's a yellow card offence, when Ronaldo was in the league United should have won every match by default.

But yes, of course, I've seen yellow's given for every type of foul. Doesn't mean that every type of foul could be a yellow.

Kaboul could have walked for head-brushing Nani - who stayed on his feet. No comment on that then?

Sorry, I'm uber-defensive about this after all the media did last year was highlight every single moment that helped United, and ignored every moment that hurt them. Because it sells papers. Presumably to certain fans...like you?
 
Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!

I don't buy papers, and if I have it's only one's that relate to Scottish football.

Yep, did see the Kaboul incident, and no don't think it was a red card or even a booking, but he did over-react when Nani really did nothing. Ref called it correctly.

And not everyone are like Man Utd charging after refs and trying to intimidate them, some let the refs do their jobs.

Just calling it as I see it.
