The Manchester United thread

[Habitual Linestepper]

Credit where credit is due, he's been reasonably solid since Vidic went down.

Looking forward to see how he goes against a decent team.

You've started scoring goals again though so if he does f up it won't be disastrous (unfortunately ).

Another 5-blot win, though no doubt helped by the soft red card against Wigan. Then again, we finished the game with a backline of Fryers, Evra, Carrick, Valencia, and a midfield of Macheda, Rooney, Gibson, Park. Not exactly our most intimidating line-up.

And thanks to Shitty f**king up, we're now only behind on goal difference. Liverpool and Chel$ki also f**ked up, so all in all a good morning.

Drawing with that lot last week suddenly doesn't feel so bad...

 

[Jason Maher]

Well that was a steaming dog turd of a game. Conceding 3 goals to a team parking the bus. Fail.

 

[Knightmare]

Games like that are why I hate playing teams like Stoke. They don't care about winning, they just want to not lose. Makes you want to gouge your eyes out...

 

[Jason Maher]

We handed it to them on a silver platter: penalty, defensive error by Carrick and Jones leaving De Gea stranded, and then a horrid attempt at dealing with a corner by De Gea.

Oh dear. That draw isnt to bad now

 

[BunniesMan]

Not that I'm arguing with one of the greatest managers in history, but I don't understand why De Gea keeps getting games ahead of Lindegaard.

You guys are so much more solid at the back when he's in goal. And it wouldn't be an admission of failure to bench De Gea for now until he fills out his frame and gets more expierienced.

f**king hell, blew my load too soon... ;-)

 

[Jason Maher]

Top 'o the mornin' to ya, Shinesy... ;-)

 

[boxhead]

What a win! :sarcasm:
Don't like rubbing the boot in but gee....Jones' own goal was pitiful, United's attack was equally abominable.
When are United's injured players going to return?

 

[Jason Maher]

Can't blame injuries for that one. Pathetic effort. Not looking forward to playing City in the Cup. Sir Alex has his work cut out for him.

 

[BunniesMan]

United and Arsenal are two of the most injury affected teams this season.

If City and Tottenham had as many injuries they'd be a lot lower on the table.

 

[Twizzle]

Bullshit, we got tons of injuries as well

Relatively speaking, no just no:

And more important than just the raw total of games missed by players is how important the players are. Would love to see how many less points you'd have if your best midfielder hadn't played a game yet this season.

 

[Twizzle]

that crap doesn't tell you that injuries are to key players and we are 4th on that list, predominantly centre halves and midfielders, particluarly with spurs, Ledly King is probably our most important player

I'd say thats very significant

 

[Jason Maher]

Arse's problem is that they sold two of their best players...

 

[WireMan]

Injuries finally caught up wth us.

Valencia is not a right back, Jones is not a top centre back. Giggs is old. Rooney and Berbatov don't work well together.


Or we could blame Jonny Evans... ;-)


When we get one or two back we will be fine. Cleverly and Welbeck in the starting line up would be a start, Evans or Smalling back in defence and Jones to right back and we can wint he league.

Won't reply to this properly because it's a United thread but ONE of our best. Nasri just isn't that good. You'd think people would have learned with Torres and Carroll that just because a team pays a shitload for you doesn't mean they're that good. His form at City proves he wasnt worth 20+ million.
