the funniest thing was - in his post-match interview, evans mocked & laughed at diouf for missing that chance.

Evans isn't taking matches serious, he doesn't realize the graveness of the situation. He needs to be punished. Niccur played trash, and he's happy about it...MChew

his hands are tied!
the brilliant defenders are always getting injured. the dorks have to be used till we can get rojo back. smalling & rojo combo is the best we have got.

The transfer market is here already. We just need backups. Shikena. Let's ship those useless players off to the other side of the world angry

Phil Jones and his fellow Man United
defenders: a far better backline than you
might think
The idea that Manchester United have the best
defence in the Premier League is probably enough to
make you collapse into fits of delirious, hungover
laughter (happy new year, by the way).
However, when it comes to open play, that is exactly
what Louis van Gaal's boys are.
Yes, a squad that contains Maidstone United's Chris
Smalling has conceded just 11 goals from open play:
fewer goals than any other team when the ball is
alive and moving.
And this despite Louis van Gaal's desire to cram as
many strikers as possible into his side, while playing
famously tough-tackling hard men like Ashley
Young in defensive positions.
It's almost like the Dutch manager, who has been
working at the highest level in football for decades,
knows more about setting up a football team than
the angry football fans of the internet.

Still, these stats suggest that van Gaal might need
to do a bit more work on set pieces

SailorXY:
I fail to see how a full back that's a menace going forward will be poor playing as a wing back. the format may be alien initially but he's got a better chance of success than right wing forward converting to a wing back.

are you saying you will really pay money for Dani Alvez? how about signing Mobi Okparaku or Cafu?

when will you stop all these jokes, this is another year!?

Rafael is clueless there. I may be wrong, but I think he will never be good there.

As poor as Young was on the right yesterday, Rafael was worse.

As a Left back, you have the benefit of the number 7 man playing in front of you taking away the opposition left back. But as a RWB you have to get past him yourself. Ball chasing, balance in carrying the ball forward, assisting the midfielders with dues and interception are alll needed too. As for now, Rafael is struggling, since preseason.

* What do you mean I am joking. I always say the truth. I told the house Falcao gets bullied and loses possession, I was attacked. The next match he lost 9 possession. His loss of possession is alarming. But I like him though.

@leggo,remember say na De Gea they save us
Chelsea defence is still the best in the league last lite doesn't change that.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:51am On Jan 02, 2015*

Lack of rotation has killed the big teams this period. In Man United, players in our midfield have been overused. Rooney, Carrick, Young and Val. The covered too much ground. Now we see the results.

We can see Falcao with lots of mobility 'cos he is still fresh.

Our defenders are not as bad afterall. Despite playing 3 at the back, with many injuries and rotations, we are 4th best in terms of defending.

* Injuries to Val and Young means we have to find a new formula to go on a winning streak.

* Lest I forget, some could blame Jones for the goal conceded, however the boy did some life saving tackles including last man tackle/clearance with his head from positions not even his. How many times did he rescue us from the middle of the defence? Abegi!

Remember we are the only ones playing 3 at the back. Although Liverpool occasionally play 3.

We have limited our opponents to few attempts at DDG in the last three or four matches.

Chelsea also have a good keeper who takes many crosses before strikers can head.

True, but in a defence that includes Mr Shaky-Leg Evans it is some interesting stat.

Man Utd ready mammoth Pogba bid

Manchester United are set to break the bank to sign former academy man Paul Pogba. The Frenchman left the club for Juventus in 2012 but may return to Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal sanctions a £70m bid.

Manchester United to make decision on Falcao in April

Manchester United will wait until April to decide whether to sign Radamel Falcao on a permanent basis. The Colombia international scored again against Stoke with United believing he is starting to show his true quality.

Pogba is overrated.
Make no mistake about it, he's a very talented. Footballer, but I think people tend to go overboard when they talk about his abilities.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 2:48pm On Jan 02, 2015

Song is shyte from what I've seen him play.

We should make no bid for either Strooman or Vidal until next transfer window, ie after we've accessed their fitness and performances.

Left to me we should get only a CB and give our new players game time before going into the market.

My exact thoughts..

Dunno why song's name should come up in a discussion involving the likes of Vidal, strootman and pogba as potential additions to our MF

Dadehmola:

these definitions are not what we should pursue:
- we actually need to add pace & pawa to the middle, with some good level of football IQ. Song can provide that with some good height too
- we also need pace upfront.

seeing the way Januzaj broke with pace shortly after he came on yesterday off a corner kick from Stoke to win a corner @ the other end, you can't just help the realisation that Januzaj was actually the only attacker who could have done that.

these are actually needs, even if its just short term

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ocephraim(m): 3:26pm On Jan 02, 2015

Lol.. I just love this thread

I feel what we need do is get a commanding center back that can stay fit, organize the defence and raise the confidence level...

Getting another "squad player" should not be an option.

so what happens when "that" is not available?

a great team is more than the eleven players on the pitch, there's room for squad players when the likes of Fletcher & Anderson still receive wages @ Old Trafford

We still in the process of recovering from the troubles of having a loong list of squad players in the team... I dont buy the idea of adding to that list now... Wait till summer instead and get a top quality MF..we can survive and do a good job with the current midfield
