Good night guys:

FIFA were right in awarding Messi as world cup best afterall.

Whosocored
Messi 9.25
Robben 8.92
James 8.52
Di Maria 8.27
Neymar 8,25

But if na me wan award I go give am to Robben.

Talsima:


I think you have forgotten that Van Persie was a lone striker in four matches we played 4-1-4-1, with Mata and Fellaini or Mata and Herrera behind him. I could only remeber he scored just one goal against Chelsea.

Wser Brom 2-2 Mata Herrera Blind behind RVP.
Chelsea 1-1 Mata, Fellaini and Blind
Man City 1-0 Fellaini, Rooney and Blind/Carrick
Palace 1-0 Carrick, Rooney and Fellaini

But he paired with Rooney in a two striker formation and he scored two goals.

We forget too often. We played all our creative players behind RVP against West Brom and Chelsea. We were highly unconvincing against West Brom.

Di Maria
Januzaj
Herrera
Mata
Blind.

Good night finally finally.

A big top of the long ball table clash tomorrow, I wonder who will lob it forward more.

Long ball with 60% ball possession

When we played West Brom with Herrera and Mata in our midfield, flanked by Di Maria and Januzaj. This happened to Herera.

Substituted out at half time for Fellaini(in).
* Pass accuracy was 84% in a match Blind had 93%, Mata 89%
* Key pass 0
* Shot on target 0
* Dispossessed 2
* Unsuccessful touch 1.
* Tackles 0
* Interception 0
* Clearance 0
* Blocked shot 0
* Crossing 0
* Aerial duels won 0

Goal.com worst player of the match choice= Herrera. Although fans picked RVP.


Compared to Fellaini in the second 45 mins with 2 shots on target, 1 goal, 2 key passes, 4 aerial duels won, 3 tackles, 1 interceptions, 3 clearances.

Rating= Fellaini MOTM with 8.33. Herrera 6.02, Mata 6.10

^^^
No wonder Gaal said he knows his players and people are always fond of calling for those who aren't playing.

On Mata: He became the king of long balls. 7 long balls in just 71 mins he played. 0 key pass in 90 mins. 0 cross, 0 shot on target, 0 dribble, 0 interception, 0 clearance, 1 tackle, 0 aerial duel won.
...........................

Januzaj
Wasted good crossing chance inside area after weighing up his options and pulled out of a 50-50 in the first half. Did not really beat his man all night, often coming inside to find a team-mate.

di María
Quiet start but put a fine ball in to Van Persie as United looked to reply to early set-back. Smart shot on the turn but Myhill telegraphed it, as with subsequent efforts. Got little joy down the left all in all. Subbed for Young with 15 left.

Herrera
Sloppy very early on, not letting his team clear their lines and was wayward with two attempted through-balls as the half wore on. Subbed at half-time on a poor night.

Mata
Toiled to find space but often went missing in it. Poor free kick over the bar from edge of the area and offered little else. Subbed for Falcao with18 minutes to go.

you also forgot he was playing with a rib injury? why was he rushed back if he's not an important member of the midfield? is this your lame attempt to prove Rooney is better than him as CM?
since Herrera returned, point the match he's not been among the top three players whether as a sub or a starter.

How did play with rib injury when Fellaini was on the bench?

Did Mata also have a rib injury that day?

Even if Rooney is not in midfield, Fellaini is ahead of Herrera in selection order. Now Januzaj is now ahead of him.

It's Rooney, Mata and Junazaj before Herrera. So how is Rooney affecting Herrera as you have always claimed.

Herrera has had many anonymous days. We also forget so soon. Same way Januzaj was given a run of games the last time, everyone called he should be dropped. After a while on the bench, Januzaj is suddenly the unused hero to you.

Long Ball United.

LVG trying to defend the indefensible.

you are now swerving all over the asphalt. where did you see Mata or Januzaj in my post? I'm not even talking of who is ahead of who in the team, they all have different styles of play - It's the manager's headache as to who fits his game plan.

we have seen RvP have many anonymous days, same with Rooney, same with Carrick, etc just like we've seen from Ozil, Suarez, Ribery - this is not the point.

the point is that, the midfielders we have currently are all better than Rooney in midfield. I can even tell you that the West Brom game which Herrera was rushed back (we all admitted to the fact that day, you can check previous page) is the only bad day he's had @ office. the guy is the only true box-box midfielder we have. he may not be Hulk Hogan yet, but his urgency to release the ball into attacking areas, his ability to always open up for the ball in tight areas, as well as his willingness to go into crunchy tackles, stand out.

Long Ball United.

With higher ball possession than the opponent.

More on Sneidjer vs Argentina

Pass accuracy of 83% which was one of the worst. No tackle won even when RVP won a tackle and many other players won several tackles.

leo messi had 80% pass accuracy in this match. you have been telling us how messi was your best player in the tournament but now sneijder is poor on a day he kept more of the ball than your best player.

your half-truths is the reason you get punked here.

What has Robben and Sneijder got to do with UTD for fvcksakes

that's elampawa's new inspiration.
it's his way of diverting attention off rooney's pathetic defensive display against the hammers.

well......statistics say you are wrong.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2115692_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

surely, united do a lot of long balls but they do an obscene number of short passes too. the 2 stats were merged together to see the ratio of the short passes to the long ones. how many short passes united make before they pass it long......the stats above put united 8th on the log.

i am sure if rooney gets injured, the long boring diagonal passes would reduce & we would be top on that list.

Whether or not he was right. LvG just embarrassed himself with that response to Big Sam. Seems like he's cracking under the pressure.

Similar to Rafa's "facts interview". Dare i ask "is it possible Van Gaal has lost his magic touch?" This in no way absolves Moyes of his share of the blame for last season's debacle. However it has to be said that i am not seeing any method to this madness.

Wahz d tym 4 our match

Asin ehn, I'm getting tired of this man, why he can't start herrara is what I'm confused about

Blame Falcao.

You can't spend 24 plus mill on a year loan and not play the man....even when it's obvious that he is not good enough.

A mad scientist with a clipboard at work.
Just hoping and praying we win with ease tonight.
