JayKayMaybachz:with the way we are playing I pray we do not end up the way we ended up last season |

JayKayMaybachz:but that won't take care of the pains he will make us to go through without the champions league |

If we set up a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 playing a little bit on the counter, we will do very well. Play many men behind the ball and then run rapidly at opposition. Di Maria, Young, Rooney and Wilson will do very well from such a style. Also Valencia. We will also be less vulnerable in midfield and defence. Playing two strikers far in opposition half is a calamity. Then lazy Fellaini is never gets to drop deep or act swiftly from the attacking midfield. |

so Spurs didn't win?? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 3:42pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
JayKayMaybachz:I don't see that as the solution right now |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 3:46pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
elampiro:how about having a settled 11 based on merit & allowing the dynamic players express themselves first? now, that will be a good start |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by JayKayMaybachz(m): 3:51pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
IYANGBALI: I know |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:53pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
SailorXY: Merit....... subjective. For instance, you think Smalling is better than Jones. But Gaal who didn't know them from adam thinks Jones is better. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 3:57pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
elampiro:lol you were busy documenting Smalling's lapses over the last two games, but I failed to see the organization Jones brought with him yesterday |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:09pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
SailorXY: I didn't even document enough. I only decided to expose those just to counter what you guys usually do about Jones. I think Gaal should stick with Jones since he had chosen him. Few errors here and there are normal for someone who is coming up the ladder as a centre back, particularly as he has been played out of position over the years. Even this season, he was the one sacrificed to cover right back while Rafael went on injury/fell out of favour. We will get that consistency and organisation from him with plenty games in that position just as we did with DDG. |

Our junior players are scoring wonder goals when our senior players can't even get shots on target. .... Oliver Rathbone scored this stunning last-minute winner for the U18s at Derby on Saturday - what a strike! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152789103997746&set=vb.7724542745&type=2&theater |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 4:15pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
elampiro:hmmm hopefully... however, he may just be another tackle from injuring himself tho |

Michael Carrick has said he enjoys watching Di Maria this year and has been so impressed he has likened the player to one of United's all-time great midfielders in Ryan Giggs. "There are players who have got tricks and can drop the shoulder to go past players, but he is so direct in his play, "It is almost like Giggsy used to be in many ways. When he picks that ball up he can carry it and change direction pretty quickly, so it is very tough to defend against - especially if he is going through the middle of the park. "There aren't many players who go through the middle. You get wide players who do it, but you don't see many players dribble through the middle of the pitch." [Source: Irish News] ........... I still believe Di Maria. He will be great next season with some adjustments to his game after reviewing this season over next summer. |

elampiro:DDG had only one season with little error and Jones has been here how long? You were pointing out Smalling errors while I can list here Jones errors that led directly to goals this season. Jones is another jack of all trade master of none. He lacks discipline to man his positon and easily gets attracted to the ball. Another David Luiz |

Yesterday against Swansea, Manchester United conceded 2 goals in a game (all comps) for the first time since October 20th v West Brom, ending a run of 21 games. During the game United only completed 37% of their attempted tackles. Only 5 games out of 31 this season United have conceded 2 or more goals. .............. I saw the above.

chrisley024: DDG had 1 1/2 (one and a half) poor seasons. Jones was very good for us in the defence and midfield under SAF. Smalling was the one who played centre back under Moyes. He was always taken to the gutters by average strikers. Jones played midfield last season and he did very well. |

I would suggest Rooney drops into the number 10 behind RVP....Falcao/Fellaini. Rooney should be given the instruction to drop deep. The three creative players in the central midfield (Blind, Herrera and Di Maria) will need someone with physicality and mobility to help them battle in the middle of the park. That was how we played earlier in the season when we played our best football. Next season, we will need one strong midfielder to join us. Blind goes to his defensive duty or used as a squad player. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 5:00pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
JayKayMaybachz:They're only interested in their pay. I see no passion from none of our players for the team. No one shows that and takes the game to the opponent (bar Blind) when we're trailing including the so-called captain; instead he goes missing. You would think we're leading. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 5:05pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
elampiro:See your life. SMH!. What happened to Jones under Moyes and Smalling under SAF Who wasn't poor under Moyes? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:07pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
It's nemesis catching up with Martinez. He was insulting Moyes last season. Now look at the mess he is into now. Ukwu!!! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:09pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
chrisley024: Jones played 3/4 of his games in midfield last season. Jones and Smalling were both okay under SAF but Jones was the preferred (Centre back, midfield and right back). Smalling only got into games ahead of Jones only when Jones was out with injury or just returned from injury. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 5:17pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
elampiro:But Smalling had more games in the defence. Jones playing everywhere means he's another O'Shea; jack of all trade |

elampiro:bros our strikers no be am. each & every one of them! I wish Wilson had a little more experience, honestly. we should use 4-2-3-1 & just manage one of the awon ote(s) upfront like that till the end of the season. they should all be released 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:25pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
chrisley024: No. Jones was used for special assignments. Play in midfield when Scholes wasn't fit or used as a 3rd midfielder. He played against Madrid in Spain while players like Cleverley and Anderson watched from the bench. This season he has been used to cover for Rafael while Smalling was in the middle. That didn't mean Gaal felt Smalling was a better centre back, it meant Jones versatility was being exploited for the benefit of the team. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:29pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
SailorXY: I don't think so. I heard Wilson will be on season long loan next season. I still wondering what is happening to EPL best scorers in the lest 7 years (Rooney and RVP). Now the world best scorer too- Falcao. May be it has to do with the system. See you guys. I am logging out. |
