Man of the match Angel Di Maria said his award should have gone to Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea after his side recorded back-to-back wins for the first time under Louis van Gaal with a 2-1 win over Everton. |

afrodoc2: Totally agree with this. Dadehmola: Dadehmola: We are lacking something very important in both Rooney and Mata that should make both of them ideal for that position. As Afrodoc said we need two strong players behind mata to get the best of him an Rooney should also play more upfront his falling back unnecessary robs us of the threat he should be staying up front. So in essence, we need two strong players playing behind both of them for them to thrive effectively. That's my take, anyways. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 3:03pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
codedguy1: even if you put toure, cattermole & vidal behind rooney, he would still drop deep. he doesn't understand tactics & his short passing around the edge of the box is highly flawed. rooney depends on the long ball to thrive...... so if arsenal lose today, we would be above them? winning is the name of the game in this league. am i seeing right or am i missing something? elfenomeno go hear am today if they lose. |

coogar: Atleast he scores! My main grouse with Rooney is that he thinks he has all the energy in the world to be everywhere, hence his positional indiscipline and when he does that when he falls back he starts pinging unnecessary balls to left and right that don't make sence wnen he be upfront causing problems for the opponents. Rooney with all his shortcomings will score if he stays upfront. Am just irritated when I see him fall back and starts pinging useless balls that don't make sense. I will give him the benefit of doubt to perform if we have strong players behind him like yaya and fernandinho. Right he just uses his energy to pass hollywood passes. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dadehmola: 3:19pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
codedguy1: Even if we play 10 strong players behind them, it won't improve rooney's poor 1st touch and lack of intelligence to unlock defences with through passes, coupled with Mata's inability to orchestrate things by holding on to the ball at key moments. I just hope di Maria's superb form continues, else we are in trouble. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 3:23pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
codedguy1: who doesn't score? mata has more min/goal than him from the same position.
if he stays upfront, he's a good finisher. we don't need to overflog that. if he stays at the edge of the box, goals would be scored.....but he doesn't have the guile to play short passes in a crowded box.....this is why he drops deep and make passes from 70 yards.
it's a good problem to have....if any of them gets injured or suspended, there is a capable replacement. van persie was poor today by the way. wrong technique about 3 times he had the ball in the box.
we can play football without gorillas in the squad. there was a time carrick & cleverley were beating up toure, barry & milner in the midfield. if the passes are on point & the strikers have their scoring boots, there should be no need for gorillas in the team. van gaal has completely revolutionised our football. only a hater wouldn't see this and even before today's result.....he had more points from 6 league games than moyes did. we play better football, the forward passes are endless & we are creating loads of chances. 2 more defenders, 1 world class midfielder and we would soon win the EPL. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 3:25pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
StarBoard:Mata didn't show why he should start over Rooney today. Infact swap both of them Rooney will still get that assist and contribute more. I guess he has Westbrom and Chelsea to bring it. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by codedguy1(m): 3:27pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
Dadehmola: I also agree his has a first touch of a rrapist, but like his last goal Rooney knows how to arrive in the pen and turn in balls into the net thru difficult positions. Just like the one RVP missed today. If he is scoring goal and being a nuisance to the defenders of the oponents it should count for us. He is in the team, the captain for that matter, so he will play. |

This useless Arsenal team should better make sure they draw this game. Tottenham is doing the business against southampton. It will be a good day for our win and make the table a little more interesting! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 3:52pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
codedguy1: chelsea haven't really played well too....asides hazard's moment of brilliance. it's been huffing & puffing. the football has been horrible to watch. start-stop-start. arsenal might still get a draw here if they improve their passes in the final third. |

And falcao finally scores, now he can be relaxed GGMU!!! Just can't get my eyes off the table, its just a matter of time we'l get there. Bad News: we have too many injuries on our list, not good and secondly, chelsea just keeps adding more points Good News: Spurs 1 - 0 Southampton. Beating westbrom should give us another 3 points to take us up the ladder and solidify our confidence wen we face chelsea, can't wait. I need to know pls, is there a fixture for united vs city?

Jeez, Granted they are the strongest team in the league but Chelsea are just awful to watch. Pretty much parking the bus at home. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 4:43pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
MrTA: that's a typical jose tactics. he knows how to win. what's the point of 3-4 goals when 1 or 2 is enough to cop 3 points. they will take some stopping - whoever finishes above chelsea will win the league. it's on us to stop them in 3 weeks time & i am sure we can do it. by then, jones & co should be back in the team. |

I dont think we're ready to face the elephant in the room regarding our squad yet but maybe by the end of the season. A frank discussion will be had about it. For now. onwards and upwards. |

I must confess I'm worried with the way we see out our games. We gas out or what in the dieing minutes?. Could it be lack of midweek games or lack of mental strength? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 5:10pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
We also need balance in our team when we don’t have the ball. For that, we have to find the solution. -LvG |

Valencia was fantastic today, he made Blind's play comfortable, when that useless Fellaine came in, we lost everything aside Falcao's goal. Rooney's suspension is a blessing in disguise. He is a headless chicken. We don't need the guy's insensible runs, we have Di Maria (that runs sensibly), we don't need his so called useless energy, we have a certain one-legged but energetic Valencia, we don't need him in the hole, we have a fragile but sensible Mata. Let him fvck off! Can't believe we are now number 4 on the log. Nice one! 1 Like |

vosquare: juan was angry with the stüpid pass rafael made that led to mexico scoring a goal in the final. they cursed each other out on the pitch. brazil had about 89 minutes to equalise but failed to do so....then rafael didn't like the fact that he was taken off in the match & he threw tantrums. to make everything even more comical, the brazil football federation singled out rafael for the loss in the official statement they released. i have never seen such in my life. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 5:22pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
coogar:I think youre going in hard on Carrick and to me there's no need for that. Carrick has been instrumental in our recent success. We started winning league titles and getting far in Eurooe with him in our midfield. you once praised him for being intelligent enough to not be throwing himself into tackles like other midfielders. it's actually strange that you eoukd criticize him that way. Let's talk selection/tactics. With the way Valencia went about his midfield duty today, it would appear as if injured Herrera might not get back into the starting side if Valencia replicates this performance. how would you go about selection snd formation sfter seeing his performance today? by the way Valencia iş still a donkey despite his good performance today.His needless tackle on Lukaku led to Everton's equalizer even if his departure led to a huge hole in our middle. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 5:30pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
StarBoard: i am a big fan of michael carrick but he's not without his flaws. he's the only midfielder that can play for 90 mins & have his shorts dirty. his strength is anticipating what opponents are doing and nullifying the danger before it comes to fruition. he's the best player in the league when it comes to remote defending. however, he has his bad side. he cannot really tackle hard & he's generally weak with the dirty work needed to add balance to a side. carrick allowed 2 bayern goals in 2010. the olic one was painful, the robben one was unforgivable.
herrera must start always but valencia can be brought in to steady the ship if any of blind or herrera were to get injured. i have seen a handful of his games for his country and he always did well from the middle. he's a donkey - he's good at getting stuck in, winning tackles, recovering the ball & playing a simple pass to a more creative teammate. he's found a new role for himself. |
