elampiro: Ref never blow final whistle?

Nemesis83:

Yup...Game over , final score 3-2

elampiro:

Pls give us individual players performance in the 2nd half.

elampiro: It looks like Herrera later stepped up and he set up Welbeck for the penalty. 'Abi'?

Nemesis83:

Sorry bro, i really don't understand all the intricate details you guys analyse here, i just watch the game because of my love for Manchester united, Have Afrodoc do the analysis of player performance for you if you don't mind.

afrodoc:

yeah good pass.
the last 15 minutes of the 1st half and 1st 15 minutes of 2nd half were good for us.

smalling is big and strong but his positional play is poor.....i think he is going to lose out in this new system. the young boys beside him didnt help though.
shaw has just been ok in his appearances does not look million pound in any way HOWEVER its still preseason, lots of time for improvement.

Unfortunately van gaal did not play kagawa directly behind the 2 strikers so yet again its difficult to assess him properly though he had some real class moments.

Nani is fighting for his United career playing as a striker in this formation and so far things are not looking good for him.

Young as a wingback was not bad at all......his versatility might yet save him, same with Valencia.

elampiro: Where's Afrodoc?

More.....

SailorXY, may be DSTV don't have the right to this tournament. 'Cos they are showing Arsenal friendly. I beg DSTV should go and work it out before our next match.

coogar: we woulda lost tonight without smalling. he was strong for us at the death. the lack of defensive midfielders affected us towards the end and roma brought on quality players to try get something out of the game.

10 goals in 2 games, we are in business!

SailorXY: @ afrodoc
how do u assess Hernandez? I don't understand how van Gaal plays non-strikers in striking positions ahead of him

afrodoc:

and you are right that the lack of defensive midfielders exposed us to excess pressure.
however i look at the 3 senior centre backs and he seems to be the odd one out IF we buy another quality central defender

coogar:

smalling is the best out of the lot. the only problem smalling has is passing & distribution. he gets scared when in possession. if he can sort that bit out, he is our best central defender.

jones is another few matches from injuring himself or rooney. he's a bumbling oaf. he is the equivalent of schwarzennegger on a football pitch. evans blows hot & cold. more cold than hot if i can add.
