Manchester United Thread

Yeah the positive I'll take though is

Nani--Rooney--Kagawa-
-------RVP----------

Will bring the best results in terms of quality and results IMO :... if it wasn't for RVP not having his shooting boots on we'd have won today and Kagawa was better from the left.

He is great player, but...

He jogs on the pitch, no running. He can't track back. He can't win the ball.

And yet he is still quality. Nothing wrong with jogging around the pitch. Headless chickens sprint around the pitch. The best players around glide about the pitch so don't get some peoples fascination with having to bomb about everywhere.
 
An image that will strike fear into all opponents!

Mikael "Tweety" Silvestre is training with us as he does not have a club right now. Wouldnt be surprised if Sir Alex signs him up on a short term contract with all the injuries we have in defence right now.
 
Yeah, Fergie was quick to categorically state he won't be playing ;)

Looking forward to the Cluj game. Should be very similar lineup to Newcastle, which if we're honest should be good enough.
 
Yeah if you had someone like Tiote or Arturo Vidal playing next to Scholes to combine their energy, stamina and work-rate with his vision and playmaking attributes, it would work very well. But you don't of course.
 
Random stat: Vida has the highest winning % (100+ starts) in CL history. Not bad that.

Very attacking lineup tonight, am excited! I think it's going to shape like this:

-------------de gea-----------
-Rafael-----Rio---Evans--Evra-
---------Fletcher-Clev--------
-------------Anderson---------
--------Rooney------RVP-------
------------Hernandez---------
 
I have one of those stupid mugs with Keep Calm i'm a Man Utd Fan on. (A gift) But I must say it's quite apt for us.

Oh, is Evra back in position yet? Please please please, just drop him, Buttner can not possibly do any worse. Hell even with Fabio at least if he made mistakes you could live in hope he'd improve with age. I hate criticising our players too harshly, but I've had enough with him now.
 
Yes, Evra has been abysmal since the World Cup fiasco. I seriously wonder how he's lost basic sense of positioning as a defender.

Off topic, Wilko, didn't that match just remind you of PES? Really eerily similar.
 
Just watched some of the first half again - Rooney absolutely ran the show. Great to see.

Chicarito needs to go back to being an impact sub. It's what he's good at. Looks lost out there, sadly.

Swap him out for Nani or Kagawa on the left and that is a mighty looking team.

That's a mid-table CM at best.

Well, we've won a title with O'Shea and Giggs in the centre, and came within injury time of catching the most expensive team on the planet last season with our star midfielder retired for half a season.

And I guess we'll find out, those are the players we have. Not every team can afford to buy 10 midfielders in a few seasons and offload the ones they don't need. Some teams have to build in a realistic way. Since we bought Anderson, City have purchased: Elano, Geovanni, De Jong, Milner, Barry, Toure, Nasri, Garcia and Rodwell for the centre of the park. Some teams have to stick with what they've got.

If you're going WUM-ing, hopefully you're prepared to take as well as you (try) to dish out.

You're not Sheffield Utd, quite clearly you don't have to stick with what you've got. You're not the only Utd fan to consistently moan at Fergie for ignoring the CM in favour of strengthening elsewhere.

It's interesting isn't it. You moan about your CM being subpar but when a City fan says it he's wum-ing (and apparently wum-ing poorly) :LOL:

Never really seen Nasri play CM for us but then you missed off Gelson Fernandes so I'll let you off
 
#mufc: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Carrick, Cleverley; Welbeck, Rooney, Kagawa; Van Persie

Potentially.

-----------De Gea
Rafael--Ferdinand--Evans-Evra
-----Carrick--Cleverley
Welbeck----------------Kagawa
-----------Rooney
----------Van Persie

...Probably.

Very attack-minded, it's like 4-2-4! :CONFUSE: (Can't say I dislike it though, hope we play good!)

We'll either batter them (outscore them probably...) or we'll get battered.
