[quote author=RuuDie][/quote]So why did Moyes not instruct Janujaz or any other player to drop deep? Are you also saying it was Moyes who told the rest forward to be less sensible in the second half?

Lastly, it seems you are beginning to admit that Moyes is a very good tactician.

Infact, some of the players we are clamoring for now had their opportunities but they blew it.

SailorXY: But this is the same Fellaini that excelled against our midfield & made our team look like amateurs on more than one occassion, did same against Chelsea, City, Liverpool & Arsenal; how did he suddenly become a terrible player to even start drawing comparism with Cleverley? If argument can be held about giving Cleverley game time for optimum performance, I see no reason why same won't hold for Anderson or Fellaini or Nani or Zaha...
Does Cleverley have any kind of capacity to be a menace to the aforementioned teams even 3 times out of 10 on a stand out performance level?
Carrick & Fellaini cannot work for now for obvious reasons, but if Carrick is absent then by all means, Fellaini should be next up in his place.
...and yes, Cleverley cannot be any more than a squad player in all big teams in Europe, same goes for Young & Welbeck

Your love for players who are bench warmers knows no limits.

Anderson or Fellaini or Nani or Zaha. Tell me how we can be playing these guys when we are struggling. No coach will be taking such risk. Cleverley is okay, he has proven himself over Fellaini and Andrson. As time goes on, things can change. Zaha has to be patient. Nani is too individualistic and offers no coverage to the right of our defence. Watch Valencia, he starts many of our attacking move from the front of our box or our own half. But Nani wants the ball shot to him in the opponents half. He isolates himself so much. Nani should learn more of attacking build up.

In summary, Moyes doesn't have the luxury for team rotation.

RVP needs to treat and rest his toe but Moyes can't afford to allow it now.

Why did Moyes not use Fellaini against Norwich? These are the kind of matches he should play for now.

montelik: We got better cos we had worn Stoke down after they had spent well over an hour parking the bus and trying to hang on till the final whistle. It had less to do with Tom c leaving, than the change of tempo in bringing on Januzaj, Valencia and Chica which stretched Stoke beyond their breaking point.

Then you can say for today we were done and dusted at half time so it was a bit of the reason we calmed the play. Then we had three substitutes who did not make their presence count.

I really do not see anything so special about Arsenal except that they have got a style of play that is working for them at the moment. With a bit of seriousness Liverpool could have got some goals today.

Afer Arsenal has played Chelsea and City, I will know how good they are.

In our last league game against Stoke, we got better when Cleverley went out. Today we got worse when cleverley went out. May be the difference was not only Cleverly but the whole setting.

May be if we had Carrick on instead of Fellaini, we would have been very okay today. Then we lost Evans in the defence.

Our injury record this season is impressive as compared to previous seasons.

By now it should be obvious to everyone that Antonio Valencia is our best winger. No one has his quality. He has played in front of Smalling too and still delivered. He also makes life easier for the back players.

Purist: I really don't understand why Fabio isn't getting game time. Even when Rafael was injured, he barely made the bench!

Fabio has not had a good game from the right back this season. Have you guys forgotten so soon?

He got a beautiful goal against Norwich, how does that translate to good game at the back? Let's be serious jor.

Golden Eaglet got a second goal now at 79th minute afr wasting so many chances. 2-0

Go boys.

Anyone attempting to blame Rooney for that goal? It was an own goal and that was it. It could have been anyone.

Rooney saw us safely through the second half. He dropped deep and was the only sensible player we had in ur midfield and foward in the 2nd half.

Now someone calls Rooney's goal a simple tap in. If it is Chicharito or RVP, they would be credited with some intelligent run for the goal or be at the right place at the right time.

Bad belle, haters.

JayKayMaybachz: Are u guesing He is already !! Phuck Moyes. . dat man is as clueless as phuck

It was not Moyes fault. Rafael was struggling with injury and needed to be protected. Same with Cleverly. I don't know what happened to Evans. Valencia was also withdrawn from the attack and we lost our bites.

What kind of 2nd half was that?

Fellaini is looking more and more like a wrong buy.

Where are our guys? I guess they took their drums to Chelsea thread. Lol

Chelsea lost.

If not for that lucky goal against Chelsea, they would just be 4 points ahead of us now.

Our poor run may just bring the best out of our players and team.

Mourinho welcome back to (a more competitive) EPL.

Never conclude on a one sided story. I boy may just be lying to gain sympathy. No one knows really.

stanley10122: I keep saying it,u can only give ppl liberty up to a certain limit;cos its a thin line dat seperates sanity from complete insanity.its morals that define us..America's gone for good.Soon ppl will start fighting for rights to marry their siblings n relatives and maybe after that they wud then legalize beastiality..#lordhavemercy

Pedophilia Officially Classified as Sexual Orientation by American Psychiatric Association

4:30PM EDT 10/30/2013 ⁠ ⁠ Jacob Stevens ⁠

A shocking announcement made by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders caused an uproar among pro-family organizations and many others, as the APA states it now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.

Sandy Rios, cultural expert and talk show host on the American Family Radio network, has issued a statement on behalf of the American Family Association in response to the APA’s position on pedophilia:

"Just as the APA declared homosexuality an ‘orientation’ under tremendous pressure from homosexual activists in the mid-'70s, now, under pressure from pedophile activists, they have declared the desire for sex with children an ‘orientation,’ too. It's not hard to see where this will lead. More children will become sexual prey.

"Sanity will never return to this culture until truth is reclaimed. It is not now, nor has it ever been acceptable for men or women to desire sex with children. Any who struggle with this must at least know that it is wrong before they can combat it and seek change."

Correction: A previous version of this article referred to the American Psychological Association. The correct organization is the American Psychiatric Association.

Now they move to the next level. From argument in favour of gay right to this new one- pedophila right. Okay na.

debosky: Who is the highest goal scorer for United this season? Or the first two more like. And assists stats as well

Someone should provide that information to help evaluate who may/may not be overrated.

PS - none of that 'from open play' rubbish though, cos last I checked, you don't get 0.8 a goal cos it came from a freekick or corner.

My brother, goal na goal. No need to bring up the goal and assists stat, evreyone already knew about it. Moreover, Rooney is not leading our attack this season, so he was not even expected to be the highest scorer. It is ridiculous that people talk about goals from set play as if RVP does not take set play. Whose faut that he cannot direct his crosses appropriately. Now, RVP has a goal even from a penalty. Has the FA cancelled it not to be a goal?

Just leave that argument no need. All I know is that Rooney has won too far many man of the match than anyone else and he has been nominated among DDG and Janujaz for player of the month. This is a player many said would be a spare tyre and will rot on the bench this season. Any wonder why they are disappointed.

StarBoard: But he earns more than every player on that list, just about.
So if nominees are earning far less than he is presently doing, what does that say of his inability to make the top 23 players in the list?

Guy, go and sleep. Find a woman and get laid.
This your defence of Rooney is tiring at best.

Stop talking like a market seller. Developing BP? Are you my physician?
You talk like a daft person sometimes.
Stick to the issue and forget this bull-shyte you're chatting.

What is your business with how much Rooney is being paid? I am sure it is not Chelsea fans concern how much Torres and Eto'o earns. You are also not in position to drill down how much he contributes to the overall club earnings. Leave that area. In 2010 Messi praised Rooney for earning so little for many years despite his performance.

StarBoard: Why do you argue like this?
So your point of reference is now that " others didn't".
No point responding to you.
If you do not understand that Rooney is an over-hyped piece of fat, there's is nothing else we can tell you.
Perish with your stoic ignorance. Your so-called white pele cannot make the list of the 23 best players on the planet and you are here forming advocate.

Rooney is not over hyped. He has justified every attention he gets. He musnt be in the FIFA list every year.

I know you are already developing BP over Rooney. Your hope that he will flop this season is already being dashed.

royale442: Ferguson: "I know David has had a hard time over a couple of results. But I had plenty of bad results at the start of the season. I remember a few years ago when we lost 5-0 to Newcastle, the following Saturday we lost 6-3 to Southampton and then lost to Chelsea 3-1. The BBC ran a two-hour programme called "The demise of Manchester United. We won the league by nine points..."

The most encouraging words I have heard so far about United current struggling.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has issued a public apology to Cristiano Ronaldo for disparaging remarks he made about the Real Madrid star.

During a debate at Oxford University over the respective merits of the Portugal international and Barcelona ace Lionel Messi, Blatter joked that "one spends more time at the hairdresser's than the other".

Ronaldo took great offence, insinuating that the jibe merely underlined Fifa's bias against him and his club, but Blatter has now moved to calm the controversy by tweeting the 28-year-old attacker.

"I apologise if you were upset by my light-hearted answer at private event on Friday," the Swiss wrote to Ronaldo's official Twitter account. "I never meant to offend you.

"I am an honorary 'socio' at Real Madrid and explained we've many talented players in world game, including you. Best wishes."

Blatter also addressed an open letter to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to apologise for any offence caused.

He said: "Dear President, I have received your letter today, the contents of which surprised me.

"I want to clarify that for me Cristiano Ronaldo is at the same level as Messi and they are both outstanding players, each in their own way.

"I'm sorry that this situation produced in a university event hurt as much as it did, and I apologise for it.

"It was never my intention to embarrass or disrespect Real Madrid or one of their players or the fans, not only for being the founder of the Fifa club but also for being the club that I follow and admire from my youth."

Barcelona forward Messi has pipped Ronaldo to the last four Fifa Ballon d'Or awards.

elrony: Bros no let Rooney make u get accident...read d comment properly and u ll see he meant "shame" dat chicha had to miss a chance dat woulda gotten him a hat-trick

E be no write am well na.

Moreover, for here everybody dey owe e side tight. If not them go paint wrong figure for ur eye if u no watch match. You go hear say Rooney miss from 4 yards whereas na 16 yards be the real spot when he shoot. No dulli for here. Na dem teach me.

Xailaor, what do you mean by shame Rooney?

Had it been Kagawa who came on would you say same?

Rooney added to his assist stat again with a customized 30 yards tele pass to Fabio. Kudos to Fabio for a good control with his chest before sloting in. That was akin to the pass Rooney gave to RVP earlier this season which he squandered.

StarBoard:

Over to the pro-Rooney camp.
I'm a self-professed critic until he raises his game.
He has to have his wages deducted because he certainly hasn't merited them.

If we start this debate now una go say we don start.

*** Is he the only highly paid player who didn't make the list?

*** When he was making the list how much was he paid as compared to many footballers who weren't making the list?

You guys are too quick to judge Fellaini. He was very impressive against Palace and Leverkusen. Every other of our midfielder has had at least a bad game.

chamotex: Elampiro? Lol

Zaha didnt impress me tonight but wont judge him on one game.

Why does Rooney have to come in...bum licking at its best

*** I was not a part of such a debate about Janujaz.

*** Rooney came on at 2-0 just to help slow the game and hold possession. My guess.

We have central midfielders who cannot:

* Score.
* shoot accurately at goal
* cross
* head
* beat a man in the final third
* give assists for goals

So why do we need to keep them for eternity with the hope they will develop these qualities over night.

*** We only need to look at Yaya Toure or Ramires or some Arsenal players to see how much we are cheating ourselves.

This is why I still think Fellaini will be far better than those other guys once he clicks.

*** I think our U17 guys are young. They should be around that age. Mike Tyson at 18 was looking 29 years due to hard training and body building. I used to think Terry was like 40 years, Zidane 45. Lol. Rooney at 20 was looking 26.

*** If Man United wants to be serious, it should let go of players who have refused to develop or who have never met their potentials despite many years of given opportunity. Anderson is number 1 of such players. After this season, players like Welbeck, Buttner, Fabio, should be re-assessed. We can recall some players currently on loan to play our Capital1 and FA cup matches. To me, Anderson is getting worse, and his combo with Cleverley failed woefully in three matches they played together in the preseason. They only time they do well together now is when Carrick joins them in a three man midfield and Anderson plays in front. Now, with Fellaini, Janujaz, Kagawa, it is hard to see how many times Anderson will have that opportunity to play in the apex of a three man midfield again.

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward admits he was disappointed not to sign more players this summer - but believes it was 'a unique window'.

He is also pleased the club kept hold of a now rejuvenated Wayne Rooney after Ferguson claimed the frontman wanted to leave.

"With Fabregas that was an approach specific to the selling club. They have an ownership structure that means there has to be debate before a player is sold.

"It was disappointing that we didn't sign more players, but I always knew it was going to be a tough window.

"We didn't want to impose a plan on the new manager that had come from the old manager... and we knew we had a truncated window.

"The early view was that we needed a central midfielder and a left-back, but David also wanted to spend time with the squad. There wasn't a long list he wanted - it was a unique window.

"The Rooney situation was another unique one. It was important that we made our position very clear. I am delighted he is still wearing red. He is irreplaceable and phenomenal to watch." (Source: Skysports, United We Stand)

......

Marouane Fellaini has revealed he turned down the chance to join Arsenal in the summer.

Fellaini chose to link up again with his former Everton manager David Moyes at Old Trafford and remains convinced that, despite the Scot's slow start, he will prove the right choice as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor.

"I knew United were interested in signing me - just as Arsenal were, but it was United who snapped me up. David Moyes did everything to get me. I leapt at the chance to work with Moyes. I spent some fantastic times with him at Everton."

United are only eighth after making their worst start to a season in the Premier League era.

But Fellaini added: "Moyes will succeed given time. He is trying to continue Alex Ferguson's work as manager. We may not be top of the league but we are not far off." (Source: The Sun)
