Kagawa10,

Have a nice weekend. That's my last post on Herrera argument.

LOL!
What do you expect? He had plenty of the ball and made few long passes yet you're basing his performance on his non penetrative passing stats?
he also had poor touches on the ball!
Don't tell me you believe he was better than Fellaini, Carrick Lingard et al?
The difference between our game against Tottenham and against West Ham was Herrera.

If he were around against Liverpool in the Europa games, we would have won because our attack lacked maturity in those games.

Against West Brom, we looked like winning with ten men until Gaal errorneausly moved out Herrera who was our best player.

He was even rated higher than some players and this Ganja man is here spewing thrash.
Yellow card to him = marks deducted from his rating.

He didn't complete the match = less marks on his rating.

He could have been rated higher if he didn't do some dirty jobs for the team.

Did we even create goal scoring chances?. Our attack under this man is shite.

I still watch our games cos I cannot just neglect them. It's more than boring.
Only one clear cut chance though. But there were moments.

In the first half Mata had a chance to hit target with his left foot from inside the box, but he fired into throw - in. Another point he was played through but his effort was weak.

Rashford could have claimed an obvious penalty but he stayed on his feet.

Rooney had a bad first touch, he beat his man but the heavy touch ensured another defender got there before him.

Mephis missed a clear one vs one. A clear cut chance.

Woeful passing give us maturity in attack?
OK!

Herrera was our best passer in that game. He had the highest passing accuracy. You no know ball.

It was an OK performance today and we were lucky villa was playing for nothing.




Phee-lo-so-phee no sabi motivate players sad




He should take that director of youth football job at Ajax next season, na small boys he sabi ginger.
The performance was okay. Our final decisions and missed chances almost ruined us in a game we should have buried even before half time. Early in the second we saw Rashford refusing to go to the ground to claim an obvious penalty. Then we missed few more chances.

DDG didn't come under pressure until may be the last 10 minutes. Mephis still had a 90th minute chance to score 2-0 but he wasn't composed. He should have curled with his right foot to the right corner or chip the goalkeeper.

Herrera had a hard time doing the same on weds!
Herrera in our attack on Wednesday gave us maturity in decision making. He is also defence conscious.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:08pm On Apr 16, 2016

If we had Herrera to come on instead of Lingard, we wouldn't have come under pressure. Lingard can be a liability. Football is not about run run, he killed our intelligent passes in the opposition half.

Thank God we won. We should have finished it off earlier.

Mata played well, that's what you get when he plays in front of Valencia. But I thought he should bury one at least of the two chances he was presented from open play.

Fellaini gave us physical balance in the final third, but he was less effective in the last 20 minutes.

Depay did better today than his many recent matches, but the guy has almost zero decision making in the final moments. If he keeps playing, he might improve.

Missed chances
Why did Rashford not go down there? That was a penalty.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:56pm On Apr 16, 2016
Hope we win this. We should be more than a goal up. Valencia gives us so much attacking strength on the right. Mephis a bit okay today, but still looked like our weakest player.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:55pm On Apr 13, 2016
2-1 full time.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:49pm On Apr 13, 2016
Our defence is useless.

Poor set play defending 1-2 now
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:27pm On Apr 13, 2016
2-0 Fellaini
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:20pm On Apr 13, 2016
We could have been 2-0 up in this second half. These boys are trying.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:49pm On Apr 13, 2016
0-0 half time.
We gave away too many free kicks.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:46pm On Apr 13, 2016
Lingard missed the best chance to put us ahead.

Ladies will always be at the receiving end, why didn't she go fight her hubby with her gang of friends & naked him instead. Silly things
Not true.

If you caught a man sleeping with your wife, would you clap for the man?
Same way, women also go after the women disturbing their marriages.

Heard other players were even consoling Rashford while they were going back in the bus and you'd wonder why any player would want to play for him. 3 ex-players, Rafael, Di Maria and Nani, have also complained of him.

Another loss imminent tomorrow.
He was wrong on Rashford. Rashford is a good centre forward, although he will need time. If Rashford wasn't doing well why didn't Gaal come down to talk to him before half time? Lingard was even worse in my opinion.

What would u say is the reason we keep losing our younguns? It seems our players lose the zest to play for LvG once they return from injuries.
Who did we lose?

This is true but that wasn't the issue at that point in time. Young should never have played CF while Martial is still on the pitch. He should have been on the left.
I think it was deliberate to prevent Young from going to his natural left wing where he does damage. If he had performed there, there would be problem of selection for the manager. And Mephis would go to third choice in that position.

SIRcumalot:
some players are capable of playing multiple positions.
LVG na werey but this is not totally the fault of the man.

am beginning to see martial more as a left forward that a striker sef he may not transition so easily to that center forward role.
Rashford is the real centre forward.

Did you watch him play last season? He was cool, calm and composed. Much more than his seniors Jones and Evans. Don't tell me he didn;t have potential then, he did.
McNair has potentials. But he mostly did better when he was paired with Rojo at the beginning of the season. But as the season wore on, it was evident that Jones and Smalling were our best pairing as we went on a long unbeaten run. Carrick, Jones and Young couldn't start against Chelsea due to injuries and we lost three in a row. McNair and Blind were exposed in those three games. It was Jones returned that we again gained stability at the back.

Mensah is different from McNair and Darmian because of his aerial ability, tackling, and raw physical strength like that of Zouma or Vidic. He has an added advantage, he has got the speed of a sprinter.

AdeLaNa1:
Yes Mensah had a good game. But lets not get too carried away. Na so Darmian sef start
Darmian didn't have the athleticism and jumping power of Mensah. That's a big difference. When Mensah bursted forward once, you would think it was Valencia.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:03pm On Apr 11, 2016

Despite playing only 67 minutes, Mensah won the highest tackles, the highest interceptions and the highest clearances.


Smalling, Jones and Mensah should be our centre defenders. McNair comes fourth. Valencia should keep praying right back for his ability to carry the ball forward, his high number of tackles won and his recovery.

One guy said he sees Mensah like the way he sees Zuma. He is very athletic and can jump high. He should be focused on CB.

Tim Fosu-Mensah, arguably Manchester United’s best player against Spurs, was forced off with injury, Louis van Gaal has confirmed

Fosu-Mensah will be assessed in the coming days ahead of their crunch FA Cup replay at Upton Park on Wednesday night with Matteo Darmian set to deputise again if he doesn’t make it.

Van Gaal told the club’s official website:” He did his job very well but he is injured and he has to go out and that’s a pity for the team.

“But it was a very difficult selection for him because I could also have chosen Matteo Darmian and I cannot think that a consequence of Timothy’s injury is a 3-0 defeat, I don’t believe in that.”

The only "history" I see there is Daley Blind (perhaps he truly is) in 5 or 6 different picture frames unable to run and catch up with Dele who was clearly there for him to see. Even before Eriksen got to the ball, he had enough time to make up the ground!
Darmian's positioning during that duel ensured Dele Alli was always 3 steps ahead of Blind. How did you expect Blind to catch up when Ericksen, Darmian, Alli all ran at highest sprint possible enroute to that goal.

Abegi you people should stop this rubbish jor... why should Damien be at fault for that first goal. If those two (highlighted in the pic) were alive to the danger and could have dropped back in time, wouldn't they have cut out the threat!?
If Darmian went to gum Ericksen, Dele Alli would have been forced to level with Blind. In that way, he wouldn't have been ahead of Blind when Ericksen and Darmian chased after the ball.

Try to see the video of this goal. Blind had no chance of catching up with Dele Alli, except if he had the speed of Valencia or Gareth Bale.

chrisley024:
I think Eriksen is even on the same line with Smalling
Yes, but Darmian's position is ridiculous. If he went to gum Ericksen, there was no way he would have made use of the pass. He didn't even have the pace to chace. Meanwhile, if they ball fell on Dele Alli during the duel, Darmian would have played him on.
