The Manchester United Thread

Yes weak, we have Valencia as a RB and two CB's who I don't have a lot of faith in when they are under the pressure.

Also your point about Carrick isn't really true, he's been back few weeks now just on the bench. I was more referring to Herrera though.

We have to remember that everything is built on a solid foundation, right now we don't have that, especially when we are playing make-do RB's.

I hope I'm wrong, but for me it's not a good team on paper, only 1 player is in a bit of good form.. Fellaini, but I wouldn't of started him today.

Shaw, Blind, Di Maria are all in good form. They have carried better form than Fellaini

As for solid foundation have you seen city's clean sheets and defending?

And his point about Carrick is true. Being on bench =/= fully match fit. There is a reason hes been playing under 21s

Not saying I necessarily agree, as I think he was one of our better players on Sunday against Chelsea.

Hopefully can have good game against Clichy and continue from Chelsea game.

Blind possibly yeh, Di Maria hit a bit of a lull lately I think, not been bad or especially good. Hopefully he can be today.

Plus, we need to stop comparing ourselves to other teams, just because they perhaps haven't been that good doesn't mean to say their players aren't better.

Looks like 433. Come on lads hope Rooney is on beast mode after his month off!

Wait why should we not compare ourselves that way, then compare ourselves to their players, you cant have it both ways

Oh boy, here comes those butterflies.... Dunno if I can handle them.

Because ability and form is different. Plus I was saying Valencia isn't a natural RB, which is undoubtedly true, not saying he can't be a decent job but he does make mistakes there.

And yet both are totally relevant. You can be a brilliant player, but if youre not playing well your ability is dimished, and ditto an average player playing out of his skin.

De Gea saved us twice already... what are we doing leaving these kind of holes at the back.

 

[Theatreof Dreams]

WTF City should have had 3 yellows in 15 mins 2 1st fouls from our players 2 yellows!

Yeh... dunno what the ref is doing tbh.

 

[Theatreof Dreams]

Smalling what a **** head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zzeezzy]

Well done Smalling, well done for getting 2 completely pointless yellows.

 

[Vanjagl]

******* idiot.

 

[Tyton]

Well that's not very nice.

 

[Mike.]

Jesus. *******. Christ. That is why Jones is ahead of Smalling for me. The latter just cannot think at all.

 

[Theatreof Dreams]

Should of been a peno to City there. RVP as lone STR is never gonna work and Januzaj end product has been pretty poor imo, and does not suit him playing on the right, to predictable!

 

[smith123]

**** off defence and ref.

 

[Theatreof Dreams]

Would sub RVP for Herrera put Rooney up top have Fellaini and Herrera in the middle and push Blind out wide.

 

[Vanjagl]

**** off defence and ref.

At least this time it isn't refs fault. Yea City should have one or two yellows, but that's hardly a match changing fact.
