eghos12: How is Verane a good defender? Kocieny is a fighter. Vidic battles. Even, you guys have to change your perspective about Jones. The guy is composed on the ball more than any of our current defenders. He is just 23. Yesternight I watched Man United matches between 2004 and 2005/6. Some of the errors Ferdinand committed would be unpardonable if they were to be reviewed in a forum like this during the time. However, after consitent playing in the position, he became one of the best in Europe, forming a formidable patnership with Vidic. |

eghos12:You guys are getting everything mixed up, i'm not talking about not being fast and lack brutality in our defense. I'm talking about slopiness and indecisiveness. Smalling is indecisive, he doesn't know wheather to pass back to the keeper, pass to the side backs, pass to the midfielders, or clear the ball into th opposition half. He's always caught dangling on the ball. Evans is the same, but evans case is worse because its coupled with being sloppy, its either its a short pass that gets de gea and the whole defense into trouble or a pass straight to the opposition striker. All the defenders listed above don't have this flaws, even if it happens to the, its once in a blue moon. But smallings and evans looks natural. The aggresiveness and brutality part is only needed for a central defender in the epl. Think roy keane, scholes, makalele, even matic now, yaya too. You need aggresiveness to succed as a DM or CM in the premier league unless you'll be bulied like blind, arteta etc. EPL is no place for fancy football. |

SailorXY: Highlights still reveal errors leading to goals, if they are obvious and are individual errors. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 10:26pm On May 09, 2015 |
I think Falcao put in some good energy today & could have had an assist. the lack of pace through the middle was the reason we struggled without the ball, Palace had pacy players all over the park & were more than willing to run in the midfield knowing we didn't have the personnel to match. its something LvG must address this summer. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:32pm On May 09, 2015 |
I think the thread has made some people to have a wrong impression about some players. Jones that SAF used in midfied against such teams like Liverpool, Everton, Stoke, Madrid, Tottenham etc. In our second half of 2012/13 season, I can still recall that Jones played more games in midfield than Cleverley. In many instances Jones would be in midfiield and Cleverley on the bench. Under Moyes, Jones had about 70% win in midfield. Now some guys, haven read comments here over a long period, they think all Jones can do is jam body. Even today, he was decent in his tackles and play. I didnt see any fighting from him, neither did I see a wreckless back pass. When he was in CB with Smalling in the first half, the ball movement was calm and we were composed defensively. |

SailorXY: Wilson would have kept Palace busier far more than Falcao. Falcao will do well in a team that creates lot of chances. But that might not be a team in the EPL. We needed to counter today but we didnt have the personnel to do that. This was where I felt Wilson should have been the one introduced, but Falcao wouldn't have taken it. That would have been the limit. |

In 2012/13 we lost to Everton and Tottenham in the first leg. In the return fixtures, SAF put Jones in midfield and these teams lost their fluency against us. Jones was used to silenced Fellaini.During that period he had many games in midfield, then he went back to centre back in our 3-0 win over Villa which sealed the league. I am bringing this up because I am shocked about the wrong impression people have about him here. He is far more intelligent than people think. He also is able to bring a ball under control easily while at same time unlikely to have unsuccessful touch. Hope to see you guys tomorrow after the Liverpool game. I enjoyed my day today. |

UniqueGem: yeah i agree but about westbromm match fellin play 9 was suppose to drag with the defenders cause in the first half van persie was living the 9 cause he wanted the ball. What vangal should have use was sombody who could dribble with force to stay there cause when the balls get to fellani he could not beat ollson. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 11:10pm On May 09, 2015 |
As much as piss poor Evans is, I still prefer his experience to McNair in that defence. McNair forgets he is a CB and plays as a midfielder. |

UniqueGem:I don't agree wt u on Young bcus that might be the instruction from LVG. Van gaal doesn't like players that dribbles and shoot at goal and that's one of the reason he doesn't want Nani back. Van gaal loves possession and afraid of taking risk which is opposite of Fergie and that is not united type of play. Fergie won't mind if a central defender took d ball right from his zone to opponents eighteen yard box and shoot bt LVG won't allow that, rather he wl like the player to pass the ball sideways even if the chance to shoot is there for him. All our Central defenders does that even young McNair too. Mata doesn't shoot any longer even when he has the opportunity compare to his Chelsea days. We all know how deadly he was and his shooting accuracy. LVG tactics is not good at all for united and its affecting many of our players. I bet you that a player like CR7 will hv problems wt LVG even Hazard will be a disaster playing under him. I still believe that Giggs wl do a better job than LVG if given the opportunity wt the caliber of players we have. I don't agree wt our fans that always mention that we hv so many dead woods in our team, we don't hv them a lot bt LVG made them that and u will see them flourishing under a good manager when they leave. |

I am seeing some new users talking sense and not being stereo typed, good win, united need no favours from chelsea, just more win, everything is sealed. |

If Liverpool wins, we need just one more point. If they lose, we've qualified already with superior goal difference. |
