Keky: So, how do you ManUtd fans respond to the statement of Lord Gaal saying you should play the Everton way? Note Moyes used ManCity in his timeOn Sunday's opponents: "I have to say that I like Everton because they want to play football like I want to play football". Read well boy |

chrisley024: On Sunday's opponents: "I have to say that I like Everton because they want to play football like I want to play football". everton would be destroyed on sunday. we have the home field advantage & everton just got back from their tie in europa game. the fatigue would tell on them if we make them chase the ball. |

Manchester United v Everton: Van Gaal set for sternest Premier League test Manchester United face arguably their toughest opposition of the season so far when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Sunday. Although Louis van Gaal's side have made a disappointing start to the 2014-15 Premier League, winning just two of their opening six fixtures, United are yet to face a side who finished in the top half last term. In addition, United will be playing host to an Everton side who were among seven teams to get the better of the 20-time English champions in their own back yard during the 2013-14 league campaign. Bryan Oviedo scored four minutes from time to hand Everton a 1-0 victory in December, when United were managed by former Goodison Park boss David Moyes. United then fell to a 2-0 defeat on Merseyside in the reverse fixture and will be eager to halt their rotten run against Everton and build on last weekend's 2-1 win over West Ham. And Van Gaal is under no illusion as to the quality of opposition this weekend. "I have to say that I like Everton because they want to play football like I want to play football," he said. "It shall be a very interesting game. "I know we lost to them twice last season, so it will be difficult. "I hope we can dominate the game but they will want to do that too. They are more likely to play on the counter than us. That's also the difficulty." Despite United's poor start, Everton boss Roberto Martinez has backed them to bounce back and knows his side will need to be careful on Sunday. "Louis van Gaal has been a really successful manager abroad and without doubt he will bring success to the Premier League," he said. "In that respect it's a matter of time before they'll challenge for everything. "We know we're going to be facing that challenge with a difficult air about it." United captain Wayne Rooney is suspended following his red card in the victory over West Ham, with Van Gaal suggesting that Juan Mata could come into the starting XI in his place. Former Everton man Marouane Fellaini (ankle) returned to training this week, but is not ready to play a full 90 minutes. Ander Herrera (rib), Chris Smalling (thigh), James Wilson (knock), Jesse Lingard (knee), Phil Jones (hamstring), Jonny Evans (ankle), Ashley Young (groin) and Sam Johnstone (elbow) fill a somewhat crowded treatment room at United. Paddy McNair will continue in defence after making his first-team debut at Old Trafford last weekend. Steven Pienaar (quad) could return for Everton, but James McCarthy (quad) and Seamus Coleman (soft tissue) face late fitness tests. Ross Barkley (knee) and Kevin Mirallas (hamstring) are both out. |

SailorXY:Okay bro..... That's a relief then |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 6:18pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
coogar:We'll miss Herrera, don't know anyone in that midfield to help us in keeping possession. Btw, I think LvG talks so much about the squad pre-match that the opponent already knows the line-up. |

StarBoard:Let's not My hope is Mata puts up strong performance to challenge for the role |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:18pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
* Mata has 8 goals from his last 11 EPL matches. * RVP has 4 goals from his last 11 EPL matches. * Wayne Rooney has 9 goals from his last 11 EPL matches. ( Among these matches were Man City and Everton) Starboard, tell me what you have against Wayne Rooney? Sometimes you guys write as if Wayne Rooney is not a Manchester United player. I don't get it at all. RVP is your sacred cow. 2 Likes |

chrisley024: We'll miss Herrera, don't know anyone in that midfield to help us in keeping possession.everyone knows the first 11 minus injuries, not much given away IMO McNair is the only fit/available CB with Rojo Herrera & Rooney will be absent from the team against West Ham, Mata is the obvious choice for Rooney (the world knows that). who slots in for Herrera is anybody's guess. the emphasis is on tactics, not bodies |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 8:20pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
SailorXY: herrera's replacement would be one of fellaini, fletcher or anderson. thank fëck for the international week. by the 20th, at least 6 of the 8 injured players should be up & running. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 8:26pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
coogar:LvG said no Fellaini so that leaves us with Fletcher, Ando and Pereira. Int'l break will do us good. |

elampiro: *they are comparing in the sense that they compared welbecks progress with henry's own earlier on in his career *players get compared all the time and almost more often than not fail to live up to expectations. *i follow all the major european leagues with almost the same enthusiasm..true I might follow the premier league more cause of my team...but the british press overdo it in the sense that talents of british youngsters[b] pale in comparison to their european counterparts[/b]. A drowning man will hang on to a straw the england national team hasn't won major tournament since 1966! these people are starved of success...any sign of the extraordinary is always blown out of prorportions...danny welbeck scores a hatrick against a team outside the top five major leagues in europe...everyone sees him as the next big team. *welbeck doesn't play as a main striker/out and out striker yet can only manage just 11 assists in over 200 fixtures *forget the hype danny welbeck is highly overrated. 2 Likes |

SailorXY: well the team I hope to see against Everton Anderson is the odd man out. If he can run and tackle, then we can hope for a good game. The ball will be played on the ground, Blind, Rafael, Di Maria and Mata should have a field day. I am not too sure about Anderson, but it's left to Gaal to know what he is bringing from the training. |

Keky: Lol is Mata injured? Why is Spain not calling him up? Or he isn't as good as United fans think. Your folly is legendary Mata was called up for the following tourneys *2010 world cup *euro 2012 *2014 world cup He wasn't called up for a few games and yet you start spewing bile...get a life loser. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:39pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
mcfarlin: Before the current team, Spain had not won anything and nobody said their press overhypped their players. More so you don't understand Spanish so you wouldn't know what their press write about. What about Nigeria hyping Opabunmi, Chrisantus, Iheanacho, Phillip Osondu, Ogbeche, Oruma. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:41pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
chrisley024: My problem with him is saying how our back will look like. Blackett is back while some thought Jones is fit. Would have kept his opponent guessing. You are correct. He even went as far as saying McNair is the only defender available who can play on the right CB. However, I can't know more than Gaal. |

Danny Welbeck: Arsenal striker hits back at his critics "Obviously people can say I have not scored enough goals, but you stick the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score," said Welbeck, who hit a Champions League hat-trick against Galatasaray on Wednesday. "Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don't really see me playing in a forward position too often. "But now I am getting into these positions I want to be sticking the ball in the back of the net. I am sure it's the same with every other striker." http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29473438 lol |

elampiro: *before the current spain squad spain have had good players in the past. *#fact:if xavi,iniesta were english/british stars they would have being deified by the media... *truth is those nigerian players you mentioned are very good..but unlike their european contemporaries they were not discovered at the right age hence they faded away easily[bar iheanacho..he's still active] |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:56pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
mcfarlin: Easier to say now because they won something recently now. If England should win the next Euro cup, we will be told how great Beckham was, Roy Kean, Paul Scholes, Lampard, Gerald, Rooney, Terry, Lineker, Gerald, Shearer, Cole. Then the whole world would want to play like Sterling, Sturridge, Jones, Herderson, and more. mcfarlin: Paul Scholes, Lampard, Beckham, Kean and the media did not burn.. mcfarlin: It doesnt matter. They were still praised to high heavens as if they would soon win the CAF best player award. It's everywhere my guy. |

chrisley024: My problem with him is saying how our back will look like. Blackett is back while some thought Jones is fit. Would have kept his opponent guessing. jones is a goat! if he plays he would injure himself again. i woulda wanted fellaini to complete the triumvirate in the midfield cos of the height factor. valencia can also be useful in the middle. he plays there for his country. i see no reason van gaal can't try him in the middle. we need runners in that middle to nullify everton. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 8:59pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
@Lily4star nice personal message there lol |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:00pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
Welbeck just challenged Costa, Benzenma, Aguero, Balotelli, etc, to play from the wing and see how many goals they can score. May be including Ibrahimovic. Hazard too would soon join Welbeck in this campaign. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:02pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
coogar: Bros se, hope all is well? Gaal said Jones is not fit. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 9:05pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
coogar:Valencia has never been used in the middle @ United. in fact, i remember just once i saw him with the ball towards the left wing, i was like ?wetin this one dey find for that place? i have forgotten that match now. we shouldn't forget that the diamond 4 interchange positions from time to time, i dont know how Valencia will cope or keep it compact cuz his brain is only wired to the white chalk on the right side |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:07pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
SailorXY: @Lily4star nice personal message there lol you won't believe lily4star & some united fans have a thread in the wilderness. i doubt any of them has ever been in this section. they are all stuck in the main sports section. the mods don't help though, once in a while, they should be putting this thread on the FP to direct fans here instead of the other side. elampiro: who cares whether he's fit or not. i said even if he's fit to play, he's a goat & you can expect him to injure himself. SailorXY: he's very good in the middle for ecuador! valencia is their di maria with his direct running. he doesn't have to cross so it should be easier for him to just pass the ball to the players ahead of him & when he loses possession, he has the energy to drift back. i just don't want any defensive role for mata tomorrow. if we play 3 runners in the middle, there wouldn't be any need for mata to track back. 7 players are enough to defend. let mata create while robin & radamel do the finishing. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:10pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
SailorXY: He has played there once for SAF. I think it was in 2011/12. I thought he did well because he did some fine forward runs. But that was Valencia of 2011/12. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:22pm On Oct 03, 2014 |
the hacks are going for fletcher in the middle. he's too frail to combat with besic & barry. gimme anderson or valencia in that role. |
