JayKayMaybachz:
That's why he dominated EPL with his bare intellect


And another reason Mourihno Respects him and calls him the Boss
And I am beginning to see LvG as a fraud

Just like Rooney

Rooney has over paid his dues at Man United. He is still going to pay more once left alone in his favourite position. Rooney with many midfield games is our second highest scorer and our Assist leader. How is he a fraud?

JayKayMaybachz:
Mtchhhhheeeeeeew


Kai... just look at United


SAF fvck up shaaa

Why him retire now when football don get weight

Football no get any weight. There has always been struggle among 4-6 teams competing for between 3rd to 4th position at this time of the season. Man United was so good over the years that the heat didn't get to us.

On the other hand, as of when SAF retired, most of our players were either aged or just average. Some even over weight with our backroom staff giving them chips and megedefede food. Even Rafael is struggling with u-21 side. But SAF knew the players very well and knew how to combine them for sustained pressure on the opponents. SAF also played many men behind the ball in counter attack approach. Playing many men behind the ball most times cover up the individual deficiency of players, particularly defenders.

JayKayMaybachz:
That Man shouldn't been mentioned here no more

He's part of our immediate problem

I despise that old troll

He is not part of our problem at all. It will soon be one year that Gaal was announced our coach, here you are blaming Moyes.

Moyes is digging out Sociedad while Gaal is philosophizing Man United.

West Ham leading 2-0

Interesting.

David Moyes just worked a miracle. He was down 2-3 with 12 minutes to go. Then they equalized 83rd min and scored the winner on stoppage time. Sociedad 4 Sevilla 3

West Ham can never catch us. I will take that result should it end that way. Tottenham is more of a threat than West Ham.

Una dey give me small mind.

Till then. I pray we make it, otherwise it will be a disaster.

Dadehmola:
When he came on, we had Valencia, young, rojo and jones, so How e con take be 3-4-1-2??

I want to believe shaw was injured because that sub no make sense at all. Young shoulda come on for fellaini or di Maria instead

I though this was what we played: Val and Young at wing back. Jones and Rojo were at the back when Blind shuttled between midfield and defence.

SailorXY:
oga you too dey fvck up. United played all those teams and recorded a single loss playing with 10 men for 75mins.

abi them don buy new players from Jupiter

Can ypu boast now that we will go through the six teams without recording a loss? I dey fear our top 4.

BinghiNya:
Where are the LVG advocates, when he was hired they were having erections about a manager living on old glory, how much was di maria bought for, I owe nani an apology with the headless football di maria is serving united, swansea wiped united home and away: united yet to play: arsenal, chelsea, city, everton, tottenham,liverpool all tough teams , LVG is doomed.

We have always had one small team surprisingly beating us home and away for a long time now. As for the bolded, I am short of words.

I wonder why on earth Shaw was taken off. Just to force a 3-4-1-2. Young's introduction yes, but not for Shaw.

First, we played well today. Some good football.

Second, Van Gaal should stop using our 'amature players'. We were deficient today with the inclusion of McNair, and then with sluggish Fellaini in the hole. Valencia for McNair at half time was a good substitution. Young for Shaw was a huge error. Shaw had his best game of the season, we should have pulled out Fellaini and gone with 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Young and Di Maria in the wings.

McNair lack of experience meant our central defenders were torn apart while Fellaini lack of mobility meant the midfield didn't have enough assistance. No one dropping deep. Fellaini offered nothing apart from his chest play.

Van Persie and Rooney didn't fight enough. No testing the goalkeeper with solid shots, although Rooney had a good build up play in and around the final theird. Rooney should take more risk with shots from distance. Swansea scored from over 20 yards, so we must not always pass into the box. Van Persie was not accurate in his shootings.

Swansea got their goals from virtually nothing. We didn't make our good game count. With this loss to 'common' Swansea at this time of the season, I am not confident of top 4 finish anymore. We have not played our most difficult matches yet.

We are playing too safe, this is not the United way. We are not pressing hard from the blast of the whistle. We are taking it easy and picking our passes softly. People like Fellaini in the final third makes life easy for our opposition. Those days, Nani, Valencia, Young, Giggs, would be making risky runs, not this po po passings we play around even when time is ticking. We help tick our time away.

SailorXY:
don't forget you said Herrera was 100th choice in midfield & Rooney was no.1. he's started two games in a row now. it just takes a good/horrible performance or two for things to shuffle with LvG

This your defence doesn't follow at all. This Jones and Smalling has choice issue has been very obvious since last year, but you claimed that Jones always return when Smalling got injured and other excuses blablabla. We are not even talking about who is winning back a position, we are talking about current situation. Smalling scored twice yet he was deemed not fit enough a defender over Jones. That says a lot about the ability of Jones in defence over Samlling. Remeber I told you Jones has always been the first choice between the two guys since SAF era.

As for Rooney, he was pushed to a different role- his natural role. Smalling is not even in the right back.


See you at night. Good luck to us.

I feel for Falcao.

SailorXY:
I hope proper selections can improve our away form, the draws away too much abeg

I hope McNair does a good job, else our midfielders will have so much to do. I would have picked Valencia.

It should be obvious to you now that Jones is the choice centre back. Smalling will have to win that position from him.

JayKayMaybachz:
4-4-2 diamond ah guess

I guess so too.

United XI: De Gea, McNair, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Fellaini, Herrera, Di Maria, Rooney, van Persie.
SUBS: Valdes, Smalling, Januzaj, Mata, Valencia, Young, Falcao.

Arturo Vidal wants to join Manchester United in the summer.
That's according to Italian newspaper Calcio Mercato who claim Juventus have made too many mistakes with the Chile star and that he now wants out.
United tried and failed to sign the 27-year-old all summer and were unwilling to do business in the January window.
But it is being reported that Vidal now wants a change of scenery and has his heart set on Manchester.
It means the Red Devils could get him for well below the £35m Juve were demanding after the World Cup.
However, the Vidal of 2015 appears to be completely different from the one from last season.
He's out of form, plagued by injury and low on confidence - all reasons for him to move on.
Whether his ship has sailed remains to be seen but a lower price could tempt Louis van Gaal to make Vidal's dream happen.

We should sign him now. I don't understand the injury report when he has played over 1300 minutes.

Na wao!

A lady left her flat and went behind a man's window to take her bath in the open. Later the girl would accuse the man of looking at her while bathing. What's the crime there? The man can only apologize to her out of courtesy or out of pity of the woman's foolishness. Such an apology is not admitting to committing a crime.










Kabiyesiiiiiiioooooo!!!

Di Maria's injury is a very bad news at this crucial time. We are very disadvantaged considering the fixtures left and we cannot afford to have our key man out.

What do yopu guys think about Ashley Young? Does he always get to start now? If yes, where does Di Maria playa and what will be the formation? Young has an advantage of cutting back from the left wing and whip a cross into the box with his right foot. This makes him very unpredictable as to where he would go while on the ball.

Rooney couldn't have even stayed on his feet at the speed the incidence happened and the excessive force and recklessness with which the goalkeeper swept at him. Even looking at the excessively slowed gif here revealed how Rooney jumped with his feet bent backwards, how would he have stayed on his feet after such a speeding incidence?

I don't even know when shot on target has become so an important stat sef. Some keep saying Rooney's shot yesterday was his only shot on target in 2015. Wrong!

Feb 3 Man United vs Cambridge.
Shot on target.
Rooney 3
RVP 2
Rojo 1
Di Maria 1
Mata 1
Wilson 1

Rooney also had the highest shots- 6 even though he was in midfield. Why is it that any issue or stat that has to do with Rooney or Phil Jones that becomes an important stat or highlight? I am yet to see gif on Smalling terribly defending in the last two games. After every game I can be rest assured that when I come here any negative highlight about Rooney will be over emphasized and over flogged.

Yesterday there was a big difference between Rooney's game and Falcao's. In striking position, Rooney was always better positioned and he played Fellaini free in the box with a clever first touch in the very first minute but the big Belgian was too slow to run and then allowed someone to close him. When both dropped deep into the attacking midfield area, Falcao was very uncomfortable on the ball and made his passes in panic whereas Rooney held the ball and looked up to pick his passes comfortably. Yet it was Rooney who was returning to the striking role for the first time in many games. We have been patient with other strikers but we easily tored into Rooney the very first 45 minutes he returned to the striking position. No wonder God favoured him at the end.

was it not Gerald who got sent off for a reckless tackle , playing against us even though he had no contact with our player?



later jor

see at night

RuuDie:
If that was a PK, then why were we whining over the one given Leicester earlier in the season?

Rafael was fouled before he entered d box. Blackett went reckless. a penalty it was whether contact or not.

elampiro:
For the opener, he said in a news conference: "Wayne Rooney wasn't directly in [Stuckmann's] line [of vision], he was just to the side. It is a grey area. For the second Tom Clarke was pushed by Fellaini and the third, Wayne Rooney has not been touched by the goalkeeper; yes, he has had to jump out of the way but he has not been touched.

"I am not saying it wasn't a penalty. I am saying there was no contact. You can interpret that how you want. It wasn't a dive. He has gone to get out of the way and take evasive action. I am not complaining but all three goals were slightly contentious."

Grayson was delighted with his side's display, adding: "The players can wake up in the morning very proud of what they have done. I certainly am."

Somebody is crying right now: Kabiyesi Wayne Rooney

Chikena!

Loom at the example they are bringing. Carzola vs Colocini.

Colocini did not apply any iota of force in his slidding, he was only trying to win the ball, not stop the man.


abegi.

Odunharry:
Elampiro how benin n work?hope everything dey go well

By God's grace.

codedguy1:
So it is only when vidic made a meal out of the slap that it became an offence. If he did not make a meal and the ref saw the slap he(ref) would have waved it off cause slapping is now part of the game even if the ref saw it.

SMH

If he stood he didn't react the ref might not have taken the slap serious. But once Vidic went down, it was always going to be a big talking point if the right punishment was not awarded. I see slaps and push on the face week in week out. Ferdinand went free about twice. Even Van Persie has been left off the hook like that when he retaliated.

It's funny Man United fans wished Rooney missed the penalty. Ukwu!!!

It's funny how it's painful to some guys that Rooney could beat the last man and round the goalkeeper. If he didnt do such, they will complain. If he did it, they wished he didn't have any highlight.

Fact. Remain that Falcao had no shot at all in the game, no key pass and no dribble. Had four unsuccessful touches and he was always caught offside when the ball was passed to him thereby making us to lose possession. This was Falcao we were told was on the last time when he was clearly offside.

How many time did Herrera and Blind passes met Falcao in offside position?

Odunharry:
Collymore continued his diatribe.
"I'm sick to death of being one of the only voices in punditry that is quite happy to come out and say,

The only ignorant among the pundits. Or he is just being supportive of Liverpool to win the FA Cup.

Odunharry:
having been in that position many times, 'stay on your feet, take it round the 'keeper and go and score a goal', which is what Wayne Rooney could have done."

My Thought exactly
coogar true talk..i like Rooney bt he cheatd to win d pk

The keeper swept too forcefully and too fast for Rooney to jump and regain his balance. It was Rooney's right to claim a penalty there any way. When Drogba slapped Vidic, it was Vidic's right to make a deal out of it and get Drogba sent off.

The rules didn't say there have to be a contact.
