Am I the only person that thinks the Crawley manager is a bit annoying? Bit of a camera whore.

Edit: Snap flahavaj.

Look him up. He's a very dodgy character.

Embarrassing from utd so far, I mostly blame that 443 and 2-3 players. If they cant perform against conference team god help them

How embarrassing "glory glory Man Utd" being played at a game against non-league opposition. They should keep that for the "big games" when they have won.

How can you say that when Liverpool sing Celtic's you'll never walk alone at EVERY home game?

Long afternoon when you have no match eh? Despite having twice as many favourite teams than most. Maybe you should get a third.:pac:

I asked earlier if you could maybe post what team you'd have picked seeing as how you're not happy the kids aren't playing and not happy with the formation?

Its a fairly weak line up though in fairness.A solid enough back line with 2 wingers that are a long way from being complete players.Hernandez looks quiet enough on his own up front.As the half progressed I thought they looked a bit better.

everdead.ie

From a neutral perspective Gibson MOTM so far obertan is disappointing as is Hernandez and Bebe.

Ordinary man

I'd like to see pogba and king replace carrick and anderson. Go 442 and give it a right rattle. Anderson and carrick are cruising - doing nothing wrong but not driving on the game. Gibson and pogba would be out to prove a point hopefully

They was a thread on him a few weeks ago I think, wasn't there? He even looks dodgy, I would not trust the man. He's a just an attention seeking tosser as far as I'm concerned.

Hank Scorpio

rooney on for anderson

reverenddave

anyone got a working link ?????????????

daveyboy_1ie

Dunno why progress was made with bebe since he first played, he actually looks to have regressed since the league cup games. Hope he has a stronger second half as he can't be much worse

jdooley28

Here comes rooney! united to keep a clean sheet 1/2, don't let me down or its gonna have to be a cheap nite tonite

J. Marston

Rooneys coming on? Good stuff, get him into double figures for the season.

:pac:

Interesting facts in light of Crawley's 9,000 fan's ever so original "We support our local team" chant:
Average home attendance last season - 1,003
Fans that travelled to their last away game - 39

Indeed.

Tbf utd team is full of internationals, No excuse tbh. I would gone for the trusted 442 with king up front with chico or bebe since Saf sees him as a striker anyway. Bar taking the ball out of the net we hardly tested the keeper. Ortan has been poor again

And who on the wings?

bradlente

I'd like to see Pogba and especially King on too,hes been bangin em in for the reserves.Maybe after another goal and or 70-75 minutes in when their gettin tired.

I'm shocked rooney is on. Gobsmacked

RasTa

Gibson next goalscorer @ 17/2

Peyton Manning

Remember those Give Yourself Goosebumps books? Where you get to choose what direction the story goes in by turning to a specific page... I feel like any comeback to mike65 has to be formatted like that, because God knows which team he supports on any given day. I know Sunday and Monday are Wolves days, Tuesday and Wednesdays are Liverpool days, but only between the hours of 10 and 6. Not quite up to date on the rest of the schedule though.

TheTownie

I'm even more shocked Rooney & Hernandez are playing upfront together!

Thought I'd never see the day! :eek:

LuckyGent88

Rooney should have been able to get that pass back to Chicha

That_Guy

That's good pressure from Crawley.

I'd say Fabio is coming off for Smalling, O'Shea on the left?

Finical

Hate the Crawley manager. Can see he loves the attention. Tit. :pac:

titan18

Smalling coming on now. No reason to bring him on unless there's an injury

That_Guy

Here comes the weak link. :pac:

Except.. you know... stopping them from scoring?

LuckyGent88

Crawley are playing fair well now. Need to get a 2nd just in case.

Obertan is so frustrating to watch :mad:

J. Marston

"Not sure how much contact there is" Is Townsend blind?

Not sure why the current 4 aren't good enough to do that

ShooterSF

Fabio does look more comfortable forward. Arguably done more on the overlap than Obi.

Headshot

The tit for tat between tom and mike is more interesting than this match lol

Exclamation Marc

Everytime I see Bébé I just don't see a guy who looks like he's going to progress enough to ever be a first-team regular. Manucho and Diouf have looked better and they've been shipped off (albeit Diouf on loan as of now)

Ah sure what's the point in having subs then, we should only allow them for an injury.

This is the last time I do a bet involving united.

Bebe was playing third division football in Portugal last season. He'll need a couple pof years to be brought up to scratch. There is definietly some raw potential there that hopefully can be moulded into something. I think his future is through the middle which is a very congested area in United's squad atm.

really regretting my Fabio to score 2 one now, he should have at least one though :mad:

No,as in none of the back 4 had been playing badly.Why take one of them off?Especially as there's guys like Pogba and King on the bench who could use with game time
