The Manchester United Thread

Sunderland deserve to win this game though, officiating has been bad but they should of had a penalty also. Rooney's hands were in unnatural position inside the box when the ball struck them. Been much better than us this half, had plenty of chances in comparison to us.
 
Memphis is a joke. All he does is cut to his right, telegraph the shot so badly I could block it from Australia, and lose the ball.

******* seriously.
 
It's a horrible game of ball.
I knew I should have gone to the gym :S

I can't stand seeing him in the lineup.
I just don't rate the guy at all.
 
**** sake Memphis, hit it like you ****** mean it, could of scored there. This guy's attitude annoys me every time I see him.
 
Smalling's gone back to being distinctly average the longer this years gone on from his great start.

I don't think that was on Smalling. The right back, whatever his name is, should've blocked the run. He just stands there like a lemon and Smalling tries to fix it but he's too far.

That's what happens when you're forced to play backup of a backup of a backup of a backup defenders.
 
LVG can't survive the season surely.

Btw, back on the fullback topic. Do you think Mourinho would of gone into a season happy with having Valencia and Young as first team backups for a position they are not even specialised in? Just behind Darmian and Shaw. Neither Valencia or Young are even fullbacks anyway. I know what you're saying we have been unlucky with injuries in a way, but a manager like Mourinho would never of gone into a season considering players like Young and Valencia as adequate fullbacks. They are wingers and makeshift fullbacks at best.

As LVG has admitted, he prefers smaller tight-knit squads because he finds it hard to motivate a bigger squad of players, understandable I suppose but in the modern game it just won't work.

He will survive... because our board only cares about money and quite frankly there is nothing that will be achieved by sacking him now. It will only expose the reason why they delayed it so long if they sacked him now, of course they won't, it should of been done after the Norwich game when the season was still salvageable.

Mourinho bought Luis and did even use him, nor Rahman, or Papy, so he wouldnt have cared at all. He uses a very small squad as well

He would, because he would also have Rojo, Jones and Valera as backups. All of which are also injured.

Don't be an idiot, no team on the planet keeps 8 first team quality full backs in the squad. Nobody can prepare for that much injures in the same position.

At least Rahman and Luis are actual fullbacks though, behind the likes of Azpilicueto and Ivanovic.

And he doesn't rotate much himself either

Full backs who don't play. That's the point. If anything it would have been wasted money, rather promote the youth to be cover in that regards
 
Well that was utter *****, our season is well and truly down the drain and LVG will I'm sure bring up more excuses.

We've become David De Gea United and apart from that, not much else. Rooney doesn't even play like a striker, nothing new I know, but if this short burst of goals helps save him for another season as United's no.1 striker I'm seriously baffled. He constantly drops deep and goes searching for the ball. Nothing new I know, but same old problems, which have been evident for a fair few seasons.
