We literally created ONE CHANCE
the whole of that first half and that
chance was in the 45th minute.
And guess who created it? Ander
Herrera, the man we left on the
bench for a midfield of you know,
Fellaini and Carrick. and a 3-man
defense. Because our 3 man defense worked so well against
Arsenal, Swansea, Sunderland Burnley.

This has to be one of the worst
halfs of football united have played
this season. Getting completely out
fought, Felliani is back to his awful
worst, young is shocking as well. I
just look peep out through my fingers when I see Evans attempting to defend, he is by far the worst defender at the club. Why take mc nair off for Herrera and waste a sub? Baffling sometimes what goes on.

Shame Falcao didn’t Finnish his
chance but he looked sharp having
had so many injuries. He hasn’t lost
that quickness over the first 10-15
yards as seen by the ground he made up after laying that pass of to mata. Herrera makes our all round game flow better with his quick passes. Mata looked good and Rojo had a nice easy game back after injury

Assured performance in the end. Best performers were Carrick, Smalling and Herrera in that order. Stoke will be a lot tougher on Tuesday and I expect us to pick up the intensity in our game. Hope Rooney and Di Maria have only picked up minor knocks and nothing more. We need di maria’s speed and directness in games going forward because outside of him we have no speed at all in the side and against better teams it’ll be difficult for us to break them down. But we’ve won again and right now, that’s basically what matters. Just keep racking up the three points boys.

Its just a matter of keeping fit now..
Rooney on fire.. Persie getting his
mojo back.. Falcao should start
kicking in.. Wilson pushing on..
Mata playing well.. Di Maria world
class.. All midfielders are looking
good.. Defenders will hopefully
reach the top level and keeper is
already world class!

When was the last time United
played well under high pressure?
We are composed and precise.
Perhaps Hull is the biggest culprit
here, but coming December we
are getting more confident in our
passing and distribution. Players
understand where their compatriots are on the field. It’s
darn encouraging considering we
have been plagued with injuries
(40ish since the start of the season
according to the commentator)
and forced us to play with different
11 and the back four.
Very encouraging indeed

i wouldn’t throw falcao on just yet.
put him in the 70th and let him get
20 minutes or so. Let him ease his
way back into match fitness and
not risk anything

Smalling looks like a different
player since the red card. He’s
looks like the dominant CB we
need. No longer ball watching he’s
finally taking charge around the
box.

Carrick easily our best player in
that first half. Always looking for
the forward pass and looking to
make things happen when he got
on the ball. Brilliant first half from
him. We could have had two more goals if our players had taken shots
instead of passing backwards in
acres of space.

I’ve always said…watch it when we
play HERRERA and MATA, We pass the ball short, simple, and BREAK teams down! It is the INTANGIBLEs!!!

Too many Square balls and back
passes. Need more incisive passing. Only Carrick is making effort to look for the forward pass so far.

loving this technology... Goal Line welcom to soccer!!!!

United to win 3-1.
Valencia makes his 200th
appearance today

De Gea, Smalling, Carrick, Rojo,
Valencia, Fellaini, Mata, Di Maria,
Young, Rooney, van Persie.

LVG seems to be breaking his vow and RVP actually is untouchable…and very offensive line up, if you ask me. I just hope it turns out to be a dominant win, not a Leicester replay.

What is with players trying to
dink the ball over keepers these
days? What happened to the good
old tried and tested rounding the
keeper and stroking it into the net?
Di Maria....

I wonder what excuse LVG will use
to start Van Persie again. It is now
past embarrassing. Ugly performance, good win. Rooney
and Di Maria worked their socks off
when we were pinned back. MOTM
for me is DDG, best goalkeeper in
the league, forever playing in front
of a weak defence. Shout out to
Smalling, showed us he has the
steel to recover from mental lapses…way better than Jones in
my opinion.

Di Maria should have scored but
Bleep it, he played the ball to
Rooney for what turned out to be
the winner so I won’t complain.
Great goal from Giroud but
Arsenal showing their colours at
the end again, fucking cheating
cunts, kicking out, pissing and
moaning at the ref about how long
its taking us to throw in the ball etc.
Great win from us considering
we’re deficient of some of our best
players at the moment, and we
absorbed everything they threw at
us for NINETY FIVE minutes, and
scored twice in that time frame.
Deserved winners, even though
Wenger will moan as he always
does!

This is the most ridiculous game I
have ever watched in my life. Our
worst performance of the season
BY MILES and somehow, we’ve
won the bleeping game at the
Emirates.
Very very disappointed with our
performance but I am elated with
the win. Desperately need to
improve on that terrible
performance. Christ Almighty we
were bad.
Falcao or Wilson need to START
games from now on. Van Persie
does not deserve to be starting
games.

We don’t half make things difficult
for ourselves!!!! But Football bloody hell –
what a good win.
David De Gea – you little beauty.

I have to say Blackett and McNair
look the real deal. Our link
between defense and attack (read:
Carrick, Fellani) has been shit, but
the defense has done well I think.

My God. Van Persie is the LAST
person you want on the filed in
this situation. He is not interested
in doing ANYTHING ELSE but call
for the ball. He’s the slowest
footballer on the pitch. Take him
off and put some speed or
composure on Wilson, Herrera, are
options.

We are yet to have ONE shot on
target. Please Van Gaal make a
fucking substitution for God’s sake.

Haha! What a shit goal! Sums up
this game. I’ll take it though!

This would have been a good
game for Mata and Herrera,
Arsenal don’t exactly have power
house midfielders who could bully
them and the added passing
ability/faster Herrera would help
when we counter. Still not sold on
Fellaini, don’t think I ever will be
with him as CDM. Too slow and
doesn’t look like he wins many
aerial duels which just baffles me.

Two terrible teams and I’ll let you
decide who’s the least
terrible…..it’s like I said to anyone
who asked for a prediction on this
game – who ever is the least shit
should win. It will be a miracle if
we keep a clean sheet. We’ve
obviously been working on
organised chaos all week.

Blind is a major loss linking up
defense and midfield. Carrick and
Fellaini don’t have the skill or the
balls to receive a ball under
pressure and turn.

Our back 3 is actually doing ok but
neither Carrick or Fellaini are good
enough to receive the ball from
them which puts us under
constant pressure.

Why will we go back to a system
that gave us 2 draws and 2 losses?
Besides, Carrick and Fellaini have
never even tried it preseason or
early season!!! We can’t all be
wrong. Managers are over-rated.
They just try to complicate simple
things

This is disgraceful from Van Gaal…
The setup is all wrong.

De Gea u genius what a performance.Okay 3 in a row
momentum is building but we have a long long long way to go.Next few
fixtures all hard.Should have some
players back if we don’t lose any at
the Internationals. I just don’t understand why we can’t put games to bed that one should
have been done and dusted but hey
it’s a win.

United never make it easy on the fans do they. Bleep me. My nerves were absolutely destroyed that last 10 minutes. What more needs to be said about De Gea. Thank goodness we put our faith in him when the media wrote him off. Absolute gem of a game today. We must learn to close out games better but this is a good sign. Winning games that we could have easily lost with some very vital players missing.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!!!
