What a day of ill luck. It looks like Val was injured. That's too bad for us. This team needs rotation. The midfield players have been over used considering the amount running they do trying to protect the back three. A draw at White Hart Lane is never a bad result except you want the title desperately. For a team hoping to finish 3rd or 4th, not too bad. |
Leyqute:I thought Jones had come out of offside before the last contact of the ball. We shall revisit this if we got a clear video. |
SailorXY:We have only been lucky once with ref's decisions this season. |
Kai! Can't believe it's all zero. Ashley Young is great. Phil Jones has been solid. Praying for a win- that luck.... Cos you can play well and not win. |
Leyqute:Yea, Falcao could be said to be offside. Although he didn't have any contact with the ball. Just an offside for obstruction. |
Dem don cancel Jones goal. Ojoro! |
dopeJemi:Rojo is a new wife. ![]() Moreover, Rojo was only away for 27 days while Jones was away for 54 days. |
Phil Jones is the only defender who goes straight into the team on return from injury. That's how much he is relevant to the team. ![]() |
Now I quit the topic. I don't dislike Falcao a bit. The other day he scored against Villa, I shouted in ecstasy not just because we equalized but the player who did the equalizer for us. My wish is that he starts scoring for us like Suarez did for Liverpool last season. |
elampiro:The above tells it all. And I know one that even if it were Chicha who missed it, it wouldnt have gone unnoticed from an objective point of view. |
dopeJemi:Exactly. That's because I said so at the end of the match. Meaning 'he had been missing clear cut chances before and he missed again today.' dopeJemi:Obvious chance is different from clear cut chance. |
MrTA:I only mentioned one clear chance. I never counted the three as clear chances. But you guys said you did not see any clear chance. Coogar is only one of those over reacting on every Rooney's play whether even his fault or not. So I know what I am saying in that regard. And I don't see you guys refuting such comments as you did here, 'cos it has to do with Falcao. Is Falcao not supposed to be the best finisher in the world? Coogar is just like any poster here. What do you mean I get what I am looking for from him? When he comes, I finnd time, log to my laptop and we go. This is holiday. |
What are you even saying sef? Someone missed three obvious chances in a match, and it's not the first time and you are here talking, that I shouldn't have mentioned it even though I praised him to high heaven for other things? When Rooney did a solo great job from midfield moving past three City markers into the box but only failing to shoot, it was over highlighted here as if Rooney committed murder. He only took the wrong option under tight marking. Yet I agreed he should have shot with his left foot instead of trying to beat the last man to his right foot. Rooney is not pardoned for even half error, and all his good works in a match are forgotten when you guys start focusing only on his slightest errors. Abeg just park. I don't even know why you had to bring Rooney into this matter. |
codedguy1:See this Baba Ijebu, If it were Rooney who had been missing chances like that, he would have been slaughtered here with gifs, articles from left right and centre in the internet. This thread would have added 150 more pages since season started. No one would have listen to any excuse. So don't try to be smart on this. |
Manchester Evening News Players Rating: Man United 3 Newcastle 1 Young Has been outstanding in wing back role and he was again. Could have had a hat-trick of assists if Falcao had made contact with his inviting crosses 8 Falcao On another day he would have had at least a hat-trick. His failure to connect with three inviting crosses from Young is evidence that he is still feeling his way back, but his movement was encouraging 7 http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-united-3-newcastle-1-8348243 MrTA, codedguy1, SailorXY. The above is what I wrote about yesterday. I want to believe now you guys watch matches with sentiments, so you don't see what 'new wives' do wrongly on the pitch. Only the 'old guys' who have been around must be doing anything wrong. Although, Codedguy1 agreed there was at least a chance that should have been scored. |
Gaal said he told the players to take the leg off the pedal. Possibly this was why we were less adventurous when Fletcher came on, then Rafael and Wilson meant we needed to play differently. The passing and time killing was cool until the penalty- which was soft. For now, I can't tell if I prefer Carrick to blind. 'Cos when Carrick was in defence and we had Fellaini in midfield we still won. The Carrick effect may just have been exaggerated, and Fletcher's poor form makes the case worse. Di Maria will soon return and fall to midfield. No space for two DMs. Let they fight for the one slot. My take. |
MrTA:We don't need both. They both can easily be beaten and outpaced. We saw that with Carrick today. He was lucky he had hard working people around him. |
MrTA:I dont see both starting together with all our big players fit. Both are DMs and we can't play two DMs. Our creativity will just die. |
Today Falcao and Valencia had 100% pass accuracy. In the last match, Falcao's pass accuracy was over 90%. |
The only way we would have Carrick and Blind on the field is when one is playing in the midfield and the other in the defence. Gaal would not ordinarily want to bench Blind except he is very poor. He might end up in our defence if Carrick is preferred. Rojo, Shaw, are still players to come into the team. This is why I think Gaal will never buy more than one CB. He might not just buy at all while keeping faith with the guys available to mature. World class defenders can be made. The other day, SAF said Carrick is the best midfielder in the EPL. That may just put the coach under undue selection headache. SAF shouldn't be talking like that. |
codedguy1:Not disputing the positive things you have said here. May be I am holding him to a very high standard. |
codedguy1:I can separate hate comments from objective comments. Most comments against Rooney are just hate comments. If I hated Falcao's game, I would have been writing against him virtually al match day. I have been defending him ever since he arrived. |
codedguy1:You no understand my point. However I am nt hating on him. Unlike what we see here about Rooney. Before I criticized Falcao, I had praised him. It's good you were able to remember one chance he missed. To me, there were three balls he could have scored from, and one was a chance FALCAO was expected to score so easily. |
SailorXY:Yea, bu there was one particular ball from Young. It could only have been connected by one man for an easy goal. That man was Fallcao. People should not however think I am picking on Falcao. I like him no less than anyone else here. |
MrTA:Those two Ashley Young pull out that needed just a touch into the net. The second that should have put us 4-0. I think that was a big chance. |
SailorXY:Falcao should bury that cross from Ashley Young easily. |
Dadehmola:The reason it will be hard to ditch 3-5-2 now. Also, the defence frees one man for the forward play. I enables Gaal to to play virtually all our big players. |
A comfortable win today and total dominance. As the game progressed our defenders grew in confidence. Good all round play at the end with all the starters having a good game. Falcao did well but he keeps missing clear cut chances. I know he will be great for us eventually. Wilson keeps regressing. Let's carry on like this. |
We are just unlucky in front of goal, we should be 4 to 5 nil up. We are started nervously with our formation hurting us. Thank God for the lead. Ashley was fantastic in first half. Let's consolidate now.. |
dopeJemi:If he hasn't been poor, he wont be benched for Wilson. Falcao has been poor. He has missed too many clear cut chances and gets bullied off the ball. We only over look all these for obvious reason. |
