SailorXY: ain't nobody with half an eye who doesn't know that if team selection is on merit, Rooney will be dropped either to midfield or to bench. its only English fans & his regular azzlickers that will argue against the obvious
I'm not mostly pissed on his poor form, but his lack of fighting spirit, workrate and desire.
How come his form dropped immediately he got the armband?
Either he's selfish or he needs a new challenge.

If VP is not going for an OP, then, LvG has got a reason why Falcao was signed. Our top players who are not firing should be on their toes or sit on the bench.

Paul Parker - Rooney is awful and should be dropped

After discussing Robin van Persie's disappointing display at Turf Moor in his Yahoo! Sport blog, Parker wrote: 'As for Wayne Rooney, he's been awful. There he was at Burnley this weekend, supposedly captaining the team - but I saw a player interested only in himself, doing nothing to try and lift his game or inspire his team-mates. 'The only thing in any way remarkable about his performance is that he collects £300,000 a week to play that badly.'

debosky: Better than Giroud? I'm not sure he's shown that level of quality yet. . . .I just hope Wenger doesn't even dream of playing him wide. Just put him in the middle and make him run.
Best defensive CF smiley

afrodoc2: Very true.
Robben equals those 2. and Falcao might be better than Lewandowski but then u add Ribery and u see it is not a close contest.
Even basic things in FB like ball holding, short passes, etc, have been difficult to get from them.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:52am On Sep 02, 2014
coogar: robben isn't equal to VP when everyone is fit. not in robben's lifetime has he possessed the technical quality of VP. VP is a born predator. he will score 10 times before robben will score 3.
Unless the injury VP has been nursing is the cause of his drop in form, then, we hope he comes back better after the OP.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:20am On Sep 02, 2014
SailorXY: everyone in the prime
Barca will come first
United will be second
Real will be third
Bayern will be fourth
Fact: Robben is equivalent to VP + Rooney

Rooney and VP are average judging by their recent form.

Welbeck to Arsenal made Falcao deal bitter sweet. cry

............................DDG..................................

.......Jones......Evans/Smalling......Rojo/Blackett

Rafael/Val....Carrick/Herrera....Blind/Fletcher angry ....Shaw/Young angry

......................Mata/Rooney.......................

.................Di Maria............Falcao..............

With VP going for an OP. The above will also help us defensively.

Use Di maria as Robben was used in WC. He can drift wide and into midfield to get the ball and move. Rooney and Mata battle it out for that position which will make to improve.

I think Rooney will play better in that midfield. Playing him as a CF defeats the purpose of the 2 CF. He can't move with the ball to the front or stay there. His diagonal passes will be more effective when he's in the midfield than when he's close to the defenders.

coogar: moutinho? please not another indomie looking portugese. moutinho is soft & he's not really that talented......we need a killer in that midfield. someone like michael essien when he first arrived at chelsea - a rabid pitbull
A midfield of Vidal and Strootman would give erections. Well, don't see that happening but we can get Schneiderlin, Cattermole, De Jong, Gustavo while Strootman by January.

Blind is even very light to me for epl and what we need in our mid.

SetrakusRa: That'll be bad.. i expect RvP and Rooney to fight for that spot. that should bring the best outta them esp. Rooney
..............Mata/Rooney..............

that's when Falcao is confirmed. I'm yet to believe it.

Why don't we go for Gustavo?. He's decent.

elampiro: * Unconfirmed reports that Manchester United have accepted a £3.75m bid from QPR for Will Keane.

* Villa cannot pay Cleverley's salary.


* I wonder what Dortmud will pay Kagawa?
Cleverley should just find a way to fvck off

coogar: how old was van persie when we signed him in the summer of 2012? grin
VP was cheaper and more trusted for EPL.
Not that I'm against signing him, ofcourse I'd want also Messi and Ronaldo, but that's not our weak spot while I don't see us getting 4-5yrs out of him. And for such amount?. huh angry

Let's stop being reactive cos we wouldn't want him to join a rival club and solve our problem.
Why don't we spend it on Vidal, another midfielder and Hummels?.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 12:34pm On Sep 01, 2014
coogar: it's a loan deal for now & it's somewhere between £6m to £12m. in the agreement, we have the first option to buy at €65m next season.

the funniest ish here was that falcao was given the arsenal option first & he chose united. seriously, a team that finished 7th was chosen ahead of arsenal who have a CL spot?

the united brand is massive! grin
€65m for a 28year old player recovering from knee injury is madness while neglecting positions we should strengthen. Have we become mugu?.
Even if VP is going for OP, we should keep Welbeck until he returns.

Though I don't believe the story yet.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 8:46am On Sep 01, 2014
Then our problem gets worse angry
But I don't think it(the injury n surgery) has been announced by the club.
elampiro: RVP needing a knee surgery may have prompted the move for Falcao.
If Falcao comes to Man United, then one of Rooney and RVP will have to leave to some where they can retire in peace.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 8:16am On Sep 01, 2014
montelik: Vidal is 27 not 29.
Was referring to Falcao. He's 28 though.
I'd rather we use the money to bring in Vidal and Schneiderlin/De Jong/Cattermole.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 7:50am On Sep 01, 2014
Odunharry: i hope we get both of them...Vidal preferably
That would be the most stewpid buys. €65m for a 29yr old player recovering from a knee injury.

I hope this is true..

@FALCAO came to an agreement with Manchester United. It will be official in the next hours, he will be traveling in the morning and (1/2)

There’s a few interesting points to
note about Saris Bello. She has known Falcao for a long time and refers to him more as a friend than anything (pictured here with Falcao in 2006). Interestingly enough, Falcao follows her on Twitter and they are personal friends on Facebook, where Saris has also reported the story.

Bello’s tweets have been followed up by another Colombian journalist
supporting the claims.

Debido a que el City no pudo
equilibrar el Fair play financiero,Falcao viaja mañana a firmar con el United que lo compraría en €65 millones

Easier to believe Vidal is already a United player than this.

You want us to collect 4-0 from a 3rd div side+ total poo play?
You blame your defence. Evans even made assists.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 9:08am On Aug 31, 2014
Reasons why I don't see this 3-5-2 working in EPL

1. Lack of width: Yes you may say we've the wingback but that's not enough cos he can easily be closed down since it's only him. We need width from both a wideman/winger and the fullback. A good example was yesterday when Valencia was closed down and he became useless. Evans being a CB couldn't move farther. This would have been different if he was with Rafael since his runs would have reduced the number of players closing him(Val) down thereby giving him more space.

There was a reason SAF played mostly 4-4-2 in EPL unlike in Europe.
You need speed(which is easier to get using width) and width in EPL. You can have all the possession and come out of the game with nothing. You can ask Arsenal.

2. The formation is a waste of a player in the defence as a CB when this player could be used in attack. This gives you only possession at the back and in midfield only but less penetration especially against a defensive side.

My opinion.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:21pm On Aug 30, 2014
coogar: rooney can't play there - he's too slow. rooney's future is in the midfield....he is so lethargic these days. inaccurate passes is now his hallmark. i can't remember the last time rooney took the ball past a marker with a dribble.
Not in our own midfield. A player that can't make a 5 yard pass or do a simple one-two touches. Not to mention his indiscipline.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:09pm On Aug 30, 2014
Every other top teams has conceded like us but got higher points. Means our attack is our problem. Same with midfield.

443, 4231 and 442 didn't work last season either. It's not the system, it's the players. Too many long balls, too many touches, too many players failing to play a one touch game. Too many individual errors. There's need to move the ball quicker. It's a technical thing, it's not the system
