The PSV I saw tonight?

They played without confidence, no control etc. Okomu Oil would have done better. Brugges are far better.

Bro haffa?............. E b like say na for dem gayners thread party go dey today o.... they are one goal down and 1 red card for Giroud abi na Gar-rude!

RuuDie:
Is the Jupiter more competitive than Eredivise!? Guy... no talk this thing again abeg, PSV pass Club Brugges go far jor!

UniqueGem:
Eden Hazard can't even convert from the penalty spot against Maccabi Tel-Aviv. But each time Depay takes on two or three defenders and scores, they'll flood this thread telling us how bad that defense is.

MrTA:
Stop it. You're better than this.

UniqueGem:
Atimes silence isn't enough im adressing Peoples hipocrisy. Overall, Hazard is no doubt a better player, but on current form, Depay is better(yet each time he takes on defence and scores, they yell that the defence is weak). Lets learn to give honour where due. Pataki and Elf keep yammering how bad PSV and Brugge defense is, but they couldn't break done Dinamo Zagreb tonight.

elampiro:
It's not by league.

Are EPL teams not losing to teams from unknown leagues? Teams from Turkey, Russia, Ukraine etc?

PSV were desperately poor yesterday.

RuuDie:
If PSV was poor, Brugges must be a natural born pauper!

That's clearly not true.

Kolarov has been the best lb so far

kolarov is far better than shaw, shaw isnt a united material, runs more than he thinks, i wont miss him, people prayed for rooney and Jones to be injured, shaw joins them too. When united bought rojo people were all over themselves, now they blame him, some people even suggested buying a new lb, god forbid.

nyabinghi:
psv are very poor, no much difference between eredivisie and jupiler respectively. How are these teams faring in europe, even ajax got knocked out by rapid vienna in the ucl qualifiers, United under LVG has been shyte and will continue to be shyte, EPL is in its worst period in europe, its big teams continue to be bashed by average teams, in the europa west ham, soton are out, united,city and arsenal are already in jeopardy in the ucl. The harder we face reality, can't see any of the mentioned teams top their respective groups. Miracles fit happen sha

elampiro:
Shaw is a young player, so he would ordinarily run and run without caution as long as it fetched him praises. After the injury he would adjust his game and run more matuerly. He wanted to do what Gareth Bale was doing for Spurs when he first hit the stage. When he got into the box, the only thing on his mind was to finish it off and get the accolades. A striker would have dodged that tackle and appeal for a penalty.

Without Shaw, Jones should pair Smalling in the central defence. We then push up the defence line closer to attack so that Blind can join Depay/Young on the left attack with intelligent exchange of passes. Jones easily covers for his left back.

Jones and Smalling have impressive results since they started pairing in early part of 2011/2012 season. Their matches usually have us scoring plenty of goals because of their high line defence. Last season they did not lose a match. This is time to allow them to perfect their game and understanding. This season.

iheanyi40:
Shea Jones is Injured, is he back from injury ?

elampiro:

You no know ball. Brugges is a thousand times stronger on current form. Both went into Europa last season and Brugges did very well. Brugges were unbeaten at home in ten matches before we met them. They hardly concede goals.

They beat Besitkas which eliminated Liverpool. Brugges got to quarter final in the Europa.


PSV has a very porous defence. See their performance in Europa last season, PSV were shyte.

"If Martial keeps doing what he did against
Liverpool and psv he could be a revelation! On the other side is it really realistic to expect that from him? Hopefully for United he can be the one. He looks like the out-and-out striker that is needed.

Wayne Rooney is playing in that position but I don't think he is an out-and-out striker. Obviously he can fulfil that role and score his goals but it would be a good combination if Martial was up front and Rooney was just off him. That would be a good strike force.

In four competitions usually the bigger teams
have double competition up front but United
don't and that is going to be the big question
for the season! I didn't know anything about Anthony but he could be one of those unexpected successes. He needs time, but he looks like he has a lot of quality. As for me I don't think I would have found it frustrating in this United side. There are still always chances created there.


I know what Van Gaal is looking for. I see that
coming, First Van Gaal wants to be in control
defensively and from there he builds on and I
think that is what you are going to see
throughout the season. I think they are going
to get the base and then play better and
better as the season goes on. I am a fan of his. He has done this at four or five clubs. He always does it.".......Rudd van nistelrooy [sky sports]

Club ranking is nonsense. We are talking of current strength of teams in international stage not local Champions.

Brugges beat Besitkas, a team that beat Tottenham and Liverpool. They conceded only two goals in the group stage of 6 matches. Finished top ahead of Torino, the Torino that dumped Bilbao out in the knockout phase. Brugges won their UCL qualifying draw comprehensively before United beat them.

coogar:
why are you arguing with novices?
PSV are a much better side than brugge.....why do people like chatting nonsense?
PSV were the pot 1 team in our group, we were in pot 2. PSV are the strongest team in our group
and this is why i wouldn't worry too much about losing away to them.

how can we even compare brugge that conceded 4 goals on their home soil to PSV who had a tighter defence?
brugge conceded 7 goals to united in the whole tie and i don't see us scoring 6 goals at old trafford to beat PSV when they visit us.
there's no basis for any comparison. PSV were their league champions in a much more rated eredivisie ....the belgian league is not different from nigeria's super league. dolphins of PH would beat brugge in a 2-legged tie.
