The old Man Utd Thread

[Gabzy]

 

Valencia - "just one word - machine" 

[5R7]

fellaini start...ok then... :/

 

edit: also, get in swansea haha

 

[5R7]

ffs...

 

and same exact problem when we dont have carrick on the pitch, there is nobody there to join the play from defence to mid to attack...

[Gabzy]

Sigh.. anything the scouse can do, we can do better (worse)

[Liamness]

Very good chances for Mata and Ibra in the last 10 mins or so... and now Mkhitaryan shanks one. Some seriously poor technique on show in the box so far.

[Liamness]

Knocking on the door though I suppose. If Stoke can't play better on the counter attack in the second half, you assume the pressure is just going to build and build and finally tell.

[5R7]

wait...what!/...*que lingard scoring...*

 

[Liamness]

Shawcross seemed to gather the ball in the air there using his elbows. Clattenburg has let a lot go this game.

[5R7]

hes been a fucking joke!

 

an clearly, not starting carrick, and we lose...didnt we lose the last time carrick wasnt playing as well?

[Liamness]

Silly fouls from Lingard and Rashford, slowing the game down, letting them get up the pitch. 5 mins though...

[5R7]

could see this coming from the start, looked utterly disjointed without carrick in the team.

 

we need to play him in every fucking game!

 

and either, devolp a youngster into an actual DLP (maybe Goss?) or go and buy a younger one...not that there are many of them around mind...

 

[5R7]

well alrite...but still...we shouldnt have been in that position...

[Liamness]

woof

 

1 - 1 seems fair. Left it fucking late though didn't we

[Mr Do 71]

ROONEY 250!! 

[Liamness]

It's an incredible goal to break the record though. I don't really remember him scoring a better free kick? No right to get it up and over the keeper from that angle.

[ckny]

The list is done at the first hurdle

 

A point gained on Liverpool and City or Spurs.

[Liamness]

Yeah, a point gained on Liverpool. Hopefully Spurs beat City as then we'd just be a point off them. But it's galling considering Liverpool and City have been on a bit of a slide recently that we didn't take the chance to put more pressure on them today. I don't think Stoke showed much, after they scored it was all us. It wasn't sterile possession either, plenty of chances were created. Not too many that were clear-cut though, and when they were the finishing was poor. Pogba was great I thought, but most of the other attackers weren't quite at the level you'd expect of them.

[spork]

I'm so glad I bought that Swansea shirt. 

[McFly]

Som media People were practicly giving Liverpool the trophy in september and writting Man Utds eulogy, its a marathon not a sprint etc etc

[Baring]

Rooney scored his 200th in September 2013. So he has 50 in 3 years which ain't too bad, I thought it was a much longer period. 

[McFly]

On 606, just a few minutes in, a caller said United should sack Josè and appoint..... Tony Pulis!

 

Rooney was getting slated by loads of callers he was called "boring", "rubbish", "has dodgy hair" and most bizarrely "a liability" wtf

[Mr Do 71]

[5R7]

strong line up

[Gabzy]

So, all that talent and quality and we've yet to create a chance, 35 mins in. Meanwhile they get a pen out of nothing. Bodes well!

[5R7]

jesus fucking Christ, the ref is giving the fame to hull!! gives phil jones a yellow, then dosnt give myler one for the same thing, then that bullshit!?

 

[feltmonkey]

Bit of a soft penalty.  I mean, no-one can work out what it was actually given for.

[5R7]

hes been abysmal...for us, giving the game to hull!

 

and we look like we have been told to sit back!> has either fullback been in the oppostion half yet?

 

id whip smalling off, get shaw in, rojo back in the middle. might even juck Tim on instead of darmian, for all hes done so far...

[Rockboy]

Ridiculous penalty decision.

[Gabzy]

Should have had one ourselves there. Our fortune with refereeing decisions lately has certainly turned itself around today.

[feltmonkey]

The referee is having a bit of a shocker. I don't think the Smalling one was really a penalty, but it's the sheer inconsistency that's the problem, both with that and the non-booking of Meyler earlier.
