Dunno how Stoke are finishing this game with 11 players, very cynical fouls throughout the entire game.

Getting that group of players to 4th place last year was an achievement in itself. But he is absolute shocking in the transfer market. He lets all of our top players leave and signs nobodys. I'm **** sick of it at this stage and it's time for him to **** off.

Less of the petty abuse please, we could all play that game about how many Arsenal fans DEMANDED Wenger be sacked over the last few seasons. Football fans are petty and hypocritical. That is their want

Edit, again too slow. I must be the slowest motherfcuking typer in the world

Every club has them. Arsenal aren't a model fan base either, far from it. Football today is like that.

Nervy 3 points but my god is that a big shot in the arm.

The substitution of Opta Stats Nani was the turning point in this game. No way United would have won if he hadn't been replaced with Adnan. A one goal victory shows there is no room for all of Nani's waste.

Very enjoyable game. Harsh on Stoke but fair play to Man United for turning it around.

Nani is a bit of an enigma.
He has all the traits of a top class footballer,fast,good control,decent dribbler,2 good feet but unfortunately he has a rabbit working the controls in his head.

Think with them sitting back though in the second half they brought it on themselves.

I always think motivation is his problem. When motivated he's amazing but when not he just coasts and is a passenger. Not sure Moyes is the man to motivate that kind of character/ego either...

Paully D

Could be a result that turns things around that. Great game.

I can smell something in this thread, smells like smoke is someone on fire? Did someone just get burned?? Ahha

NUTZZ

I thought Rooney was immense today, they absolutely would have lost if it wasn't for him.

He was every where on the pitch.

Rooney and De Gea are the two that ensured United were still in the game at that point. If Rooney gets injured I think you'll really struggle.

There isn't room for Nani's waste right now. People say Nani needs a run of games, but when there is an 18 year old kid who only needs 5 minutes, that rings hollow.

His stats tell one story, he has been playing in a Championship winning team for years now, yet it took him 40 minutes today to make a positive contribution. Up to that point, several wasted crosses and shots, failed to take on the defender or make an attacking pass, lost possesion way too easily in midfield and let Stoke through on goal. No thanks.

Kagawa will be there to go into his favourite position. He was trying to squeez in there today along with Rooney rather than stay out left. If Rooney is out, the CM's will need to work a lot harder.

Kagawa would get a chance to play behind the striker, so it might actually work. There's nobody playing so well in that team that we can't afford to lose them.

He reminds me of an early Ronaldo at Utd who was an infuriating player to watch and couldnt deliver on a regular basis.
After about 3 years Ronaldo upped his game dramatically and became the superstar we now know.
Nani has been at Utd for 6 years but his game has stagnated ,not improved.

LMAO. I love flicking through a match thread after United have come from behind to win and seeing all the tearful ABUs.

You can watch the life-cycle of them practically bursting with joy and trying to hold in their hard-ons while United are behind, then see as it fades to discussion of good fortune and undeservedness when United draw level, followed by the final descent into despair and insulting the fans when the final whistle goes.

It's always the same and it's always the perfect night cap after watching these games. Thanks ABUs!

^^Similar can be said about United fans. Hysterical it is to see their attitudes change in a matter of minutes...fans huh?

Have a look at your own fans if you want to go down that road.

You're in Ireland, on an internet site, fighting over who's fans are worse, even though most of you are barely ever there yourselves. Incase you don't know that and need to be told.

Complete bollocks. He struggled for the first few seasons, then was given a run of games and turned in consistently quality performances for a long period. So far this season he has had some good and some bad performances, like every other player at the club. That is all that has happened.

Not like Adnan, it's early days but he has only been good so far; hasn't need a few seasons either. He has raised the standard; do you think Nani can reach that standard or is it too late for him?

Nani hasnt produced anything in the last 2 years. People are trying to make him look like our saviour. Hes anything but

No its not bollocks ,Nani has had one good season ,the rest have been hit and miss.
He is like Jekyl and Hyde .
After 6 years he still cant get his cross to beat the first man .

So you don't want any players who need a run of games to get going? Cool, lets get rid of Rooney, Kagawa, Vidic, DDG, Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Evans and Carrick so.

Wrong.

That is definitely producing something and it's in the last two years. How quickly you forgot/ignore.

Take a look at the stats and look at all the games he has neither an assist or a goal. There is as many if not more.Take a close look at his stats for last season and this. Plus hes almost 27 not like hes going to improve.

He has had a good season any time he has been played consistently. So the second half of 09/10, all of 10/11 and the majority of 11/12 (when he wasn't out injured). That's more than one season, you should count more carefully. The rest of his career he wasn't been shown any faith by Fergie (other than being kept at the club) and so he wasn't getting regular starts.

For somebody who can't get his cross to beat the first man he does a lot of good crossing.
