SIRcumalot:
We are only a few Defenders away from being contenders again.
I must confess Have been cursing De gea for awhile what a way to shut me up.

montelik:
Its clear why we sub off Di Maria, he clearly can't last 90 mins.

dopeJemi: Thanks man, buh are you very sure

SailorXY: 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

coogar: 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.

coogar: 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.

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 time

StarBoard: I still think we are gonna struggle.
This side hasn't found the necessary balance to move forward in my view.

We have an over-abundance of attacking talent with a dearth of defensive players. The midfield is caught up somewhere in between the two extremes. Add to Louis van Gaal apparently taking the easy route by playing to the gallery in the way he's handled Rooney.

If we make the champions league it will be a huge achievement.

SIRcumalot: In my opinion we should just steal everybody at Southampton in charge of youth development.
The amount of quality player out of that academy is so good u go start to wonder whether IFA is involved

Manchester United are set to poach Matt Radcliffe from Southampton.

Radcliffe is regarded as one of the best physios in football and his last game before he joins United will be Southampton's trip to White Hart Lane on Sunday.

He is joining United to replace Rob Swire after the long-serving medic retired in the summer and Neil Hough was promoted at Carrington.

elampiro: Four minutes video on all Welbeck 13 goals and 1 assists last season for club and country.

He chip the goalkeeper for about four od the goals. Three of his goals for Man United came from a through ball by Rooney which set him one-on-one with the goalkeeper. I think he is good at converting big chances.

coogar: that was what ruined welbeck's career. i was told by fredthered that it was that moment fergie lost hope completely in welbeck's progress & was earmarked as one of the players to be sold.....

before the game, united's analysts had studied neuer for hours & they noticed the average position of neuer in most games is outside the box. they instructed welbeck that a chance might come where he would be one v one with neuer & he must shoot low to get the better of him.

they recreated different scenes at carrington. they worked at it for several days telling welbeck which side of neuer he must shoot when the chance comes. lo & behold, that chance came at old trafford. welbeck ignored the instructions he was tutored for several days & opted to chip neuer instead.


united crashed out & welbeck's stock dipped.

elampiro: Welbeck vs West Ham. Left foot goal beating the goalkeeper from Rooney's assist.

Welbeck one-on-one goal vs Tottehnam last season. Assist from Januzaj.

coogar: welbeck hatrick!

and streller scores for basel. i just love it when pool & city fail in europe.

raumdeuter: When was the last time an EPL champion made the CL semi? That shows how useless the EPL is

Leverkusen being 2nd is like Swansea or Southampton in 2nd place as at today

elampiro: Is Fellani fit?

elampiro: A simple solution. Play Januzaj there. He will at least add some creativity. He will complement the forward players well. Then we get Rafael to seat back a little.

elampiro: * Herrera despite being a midfielder has the highest tackle per match for Man United. Non of our midfielders even comes close to that. Anderson has the worst record
* He has the bext record among midfielders in terms of number of clearances.
* Interms of interception, only Fellani is slightly ahead.
* Herrea has won 50% of his aerial duels. Only Fellaini beats him.

I don't even need to mention his offensive stats. No one gets close to him.


After looking at stats, I want to say Anderson should not even be considered. He has a long way to go.

coogar: time for anderson to step up. he's the most mobile among the replacements. carrick is the best passer though but his lack of movement is a worry.....besides, carrick is a slow starter.

coogar: perhaps it's the exertion of compensating for rooney's red card that caused this rubbish.

elampiro: How long can this kind of injury last?
