Lol!
A player who has rarely had games all season due to injury and looked pathetic in the u21 game is the one expected to be the saviour? Continue! All this online armchair managers!

Everyone who had played the u-21 had been pathetic.

Also, Jones second game, he played very well and played 90 mins when United U21 won the league in that game. Half fit Jones would have headed those balls away. West Ham were allowed free access to balls and made DeGea useless.

Michael Carrick had 76% pass accuracy. I have never seen it so tough with Carrick. What a bloody day.

We were too slow to changing Herrera. Now I know why Lingard makes the team.

Everyone had a very poor first half. It was ridiculous. We had good passers of ball the field but they kept doing the wrong thing. Second half was much better, but Blind and Herrera rained it. I actually thought Blind would be the first to be substituted at half time, before Herrera and Schneirderlin.

Even if City lose their last match, what's the guarantee that we'll win with that animal that can easily pass for shakespear on the bench writing bullocks

That's what I am saying. We have just 46 goals in 37 matches. This is a team that used to score 80+ goals.

Under Moyes we scored 64 goals, GD +21.

The issue here was the West Ham crosses. Blind in the center was a just a disaster. Rojo + Smalling may have been slightly better to compete with them aerially.

Rojo is very poor in reading aerial balls.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:50pm On May 10, 2016*

Lesson learnt:

Blind is not a central defender no matter how good he is in carrying the ball forward. He was at fault for the three goals

Herrera gave away freekicks despite knowing how good West Ham are from set plays. We conceded from his free kick

We missed Fellaini in a match like this. The cost of indiscipline.

We made a huge mistake by not bringing Phil Jones at 2-1. He is probably our best in defending aerial balls.

Gaal cannot lead us anywhere. He will keep praying Blind in central defence. He keeps buying diminutive players. We can't score from set play, we can't defend set plays. We have only scored 46 goals this season. Imagine! We just need to a new coach to move forward.

Look at how we let Martial down. After all his effort.

Health › Re: Help, A Scorpion Stung My Mum. by elampiro(m): 10:54am On May 10, 2016

When I was a child, I was stung by a scorpion. We were no where near residential area, so my dad tied my leg. It was very very painful. He drove me to a local area where he asked of a local herb expert. We were directed to an old man who gave me a cup of the most ugly looking thick liquid. Before I finished drinking the liquid, the pains all over my had disappeared. My leg was untied. By then it was heavily swollen. When I got home I slept like a newly born baby, then in the evening I went to play football as usual.

I must confess, drinking that liquid was like a moment in hell. It was an eyesore to look at. Bitter and sour in taste, disgusting to the mouth. The Baba kept saying "drink on my son, it is with bitter substance you fight ailment' lol

Whoscored doesn't have appropriate metrics for comparing goalkeepers. It will just give you the ratings and number of saves- in the six yard area, 18 box and outside the box.

Elamps, did you see Yong's last match for United? He was bundled off the ball easily. With West Ham he's going to be Very easy to be bundled off the ball.

Which match? What wing did he play?

Young should start. Mephis can come in if Young does not do well.

We are going to need height tomorrow. Since Fellaini is out, we should start Schneirderlin. Hope Martial is fit to play?

They're wrong. Best players were Mata and Valencia. Below is Skysports rating and I think they're the closest:

Manchester United: De Gea (7); Valencia (8 ), Smalling (8 ), Rojo (6), Darmian (6); Carrick (7), Herrera (6), Rooney (6); Mata (9), Lingard (7), Memphis (6)

Subs used: Borthwick-Jackson (7), Fosu-Mensah (6), Schneiderlin (6)

Man of the match: Juan Mata

Can Mephis play well next season?

Why Ander Herrera usually misses out remains a mystery... but there's no doubts over super saver David de Gea - FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED

WHERE HAS HERRERA BEEN?

Ander Herrera was only involved owing to an injury Anthony Martial picked up in the warm-up and showed just why he has been under-utilised by Louis van Gaal this season.

The Spaniard never wastes a pass, buzzes around the middle of the park and his enthusiasm rubs off on the rest.

They failed to muster a meaningful effort in the second half as the game got away from them. Things must change when Watford come here in midweek.
MISSING VALENCIA

Antonio Valencia’s comeback from a serious foot injury went rather unnoticed last month but his return has steadied United.

He was imperious down the right in East Anglia, never flustered on the outside and providing a proper outlet when bombing forward.

I wan ask you sef - what's your position on LVG?

Should he kicked out at the end of the season or be allowed to see out the remainder of his contract??

Let's know your take now before you start any yeye hindsight analysis next season !

I hardly do hindsight analysis.

We cannot afford to continue winning 1-0, 2-1, 1-0

Leicester scored three goals today. I will prefer Mourinho to come so that we swin or sink. But I know we will swim with Mourinho. Mourinho will not be looking at faces to select. He won't have the ability of Mensah, then play Jackson just to make him happy.

We need a coach that will identify his best eleven and players in respective positions.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:28pm On May 07, 2016

Mata, Rooney and DeGea were also credited with having good games. Goal.com and some other ratings.

Van Gaal said the temperature was 350, so everyone was tired.

May be we can forgive these guys.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:24pm On May 07, 2016

You people said Herrera did not play well. But papers are rating him and Valencia as our best players.

chrisley024:
All these their hopes depend on 2 "ifs"; City dropping points and United winning their 2 games.

Winning at that Upton Park no be joke o!

There is hope if Martial can start. There are usually two players trying to stop him while with the ball, that frees other attacking players.

Kindly post the current league standings.

There are some matches we lost that we should have won if we had a large first team squad, we should not have been in this situation. Those time we played Love, Jackson, etc

I liked that he passed to give us a better chance he could have gone for Glory.

But I think his first option was to shoot.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:02pm On May 07, 2016

chrisley024:
Lol. You mean when he cut the ball to his left, he didn't shoot cos he knew Mata was coming?

I think so. Mata may have also signalled him.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:58pm On May 07, 2016

chrisley024:
Bro, he missed it there. It is not a new thing Rooney can't shoot again with his left foot so he knows he couldn't shoot that when he cut it to his left. I was surprised he didn't lay it for Depay. He has Mata to thank for making that run and you cannot tell me he was expecting that run from Mata while he was dulling on the ball.

Rooney knew Mata was coming. But that was Rooney's goal to score. He is very low in confidence.
