Manchester United v Swansea - BT Sport 12:45pm- Mod post in OP

No improvement from last season based on this game. Same old problems for Utd, midfield and defense very average

I can understand leaving in added time to beat the rush out of the stadium but leaving in the 83rd minute is ridiculous.

It's easy to follow a team in the good times .

That's a proper neck beard on Williams.

To hide his many chins.

cant understand where all the optimism came from from the man united supporters , they never really replaced there defense, there midfield is very soft also , could be another very long season for them, swansea dont look too great themselves

Absolutely my bad if that's not what you meant.

Mr.Micro

Fergie time.

Hank Scorpio

Jones best United player by a mile

Jesus, they cleared out in a hurry there.

Terrible non stop crossing into the box, this is poor football

Moneymaker

So this isn't any better then last season's performances that'd I saw.

Early days but I expected some spark from United, instead nothing tbh.

Very surprising and worrying for United fans.

Congrats Swansea.

I must confess I'm starting to warm to the genius of Louis Van Gaal. That was a tactical masterclass.

People were saying Moyes was a poor manager so blamed it on him, then they got a decent manager and people thought it'd be like having Fergie all over again, doesn't look like that at all though now though. The players aren't good enough, that's a fact.

Soft Falling Rain

Fergie time alive and well.

Lapin

Has the ref's watch stopped.

This is ridiculous. :mad:

Sugarlumps

Well done Swansea. Deserved winners.

Lapin

And thank you for maintaining the traditions laid down by the last manager.

Agent Coulson

Fergie time back at OT.

riffmongous

They must be playing the old 'play until united score rule':rolleyes:

efb

Another United record!

Fescue

So after all the optimism surrounding LVG during pre-season, it's back to 4 at the back and launching it long to Fellaini.

Did he bring a 2nd keeper on near the end to try nick it? :-)

People saying Swansea will win need to take a long hard look in the mirror. We're f*cked with injuries at the minute but we will come through these opening few games with wins. The fixture list has been kind to us this year.

I predict a scrappy 2-1 with Swansea really putting it up to us. Herrera and a revitalised Fletcher should ensure we aren't played off the pitch like the FA cup game last January.

Fantastic stuff Great start to the weekend

Well done Swansea!

Slattsy

I'd have given the peno tbh.
Seem em given.

MagicIRL

Now for the journalistic ****storm. Avoid the United Superthread for your own sanity.

That_Guy

Unlucky not to equalise despite Mike Dean's best efforts.

super_furry

If United go into September without adding real quality to their defence, they'll be out of the Champions League chase by January.

happyoutscan

Happy with that, better team won, Utd defense shambolic.

So the overnight change.....didnt happen ... welcome to the prem league.

Your John Giles level of punditry in this thread has been a joy to behold.

At no point last year was launching balls to Fellaini ever a tactic.

LostBoy101

Well that was a disaster.

super_furry

Bet David Moyes is lighting up a big cigar at home right now.

MightyMandarin

Can see Utd blowing 30m on a CB next week. Let the panic buying commence!

Super-Rush

Dean trying to be the new Howard Webb.

Lucas Hood

I'd like to see the handball shout again.

rob316

Amazing united break another record, first time they have lost an opening game since 1972!

tinofapples

Fooking rubbish .... again.

madcabbage

A blip on day one. Nothing to panic about. One thing is for sure, they will need to sign defenders. That & another CM because Fletcher just doesn't cut it.

miralize

I think the problem with Matas game was that both Herrera & Fletcher weren't able to find space to receive the ball and then turn to get it to Mata. The CB's only ever passed it to the WB's & very slowly too

I seen it again and it was ball to hand. The guy turned himself the other bloody way with his arm down by his side and the ball hit it. Nothing he could do!

Chucky the tree

I knew not getting rid of Moyes in the summer would be a bad mistake.



Oh wait...

Andersonisgod

Same problems vas last season for Man Utd. Lacking creativity in the center, and still a real dearth in quality in the wide positions. Hernandez being entirely ineffective also let down the 3-5-2. At the back its a shambles, granted there are a few injuries but even when those players were fit last season they weren't much of an upgrade on what we saw today.

mickmackey1

ahahahaha this is too good to be true
