Another class interview from Van Gaal.

On the money again.

Cantona's Collars

5 games unbeaten now for Spurs against us,we may cop on and get back to the days of 3 Point Lane.

Anyway,I called this as the trickiest of our Xmas/New Year games and in fairness we should have won easily but at least we didn't do something stupid after missing so many chances and lost it.

Who will make way for Di-Maria when he gets back? Mata doesn't deserve to be dropped. It should only be RVP or Falcao playing , Falcao isn't up to the pace of the EPL yet

1-0 Saints.

Didn't think Rooney offered enough going forward in the second half.

It was a game made for Herrera and Fellaini we were outfought a bit in the second half.

First half

Second half :rolleyes::o:(:mad:

I don't know what Falcao/RVP were at in the first half with taking touches when they could/should of been shooting and a great save from Lloris from Young's cross come shot it should of been a wrap in the first half.

And Southampton 1 up against Chelsea

Southampton won't be challenging for the top four come the end of the season. I'm cheering for them today.

Btw special mention for the ref who was awful. The yellow for Falcao was laughable.

I have never seen Moss ref a game well. He is quite possibly the worst in the league. Completely unable to stamp any level of authority on a game.

Today is going to be one of those horrible days where every result goes against us. I feel it in me waters.

2nd half was akin to something I'd watch on a Sunday morning on a local pitch,all kick & rush.
Our football in the first half deserved a goal or 3,still though our unbeaten run continues.

Lets jinx Chelsea,City,Arsenal and for good measure Liverpool (no threat but can't be having them winning)

If Southampton win we would be 9 points from the top, which would mean title challenge not over, and would go nicely with the earlier tweet I posted...

Absolutely agree - come on to fcuk Southampton

edgecutter

Very little can be said about today that hasn't been said already, but we have to look at the fact that our bench today spells out the dire situation with injuries that we have had this season.

Asking our players to play another game in so little time is unfair and when you don't have a bench to help rotate it becomes infuriating. Fellaini, Herrara, Di Maria, Blind, Rojo would have made a massive difference today.

We won't be anywhere near the title come the end of the season. Watch Chelsea steamroll Spurs.

No easy games in the league. I have been worried overtime united play.

Stoke and Southampton are tricky games, especially if we can't get players fit.

Unearthly

At the moment I look forward to home games, and dread away games. I don't think it will be a win v Stoke

Every team has a bogey team, just look at Chelsea when they go to Newcastle.
History does repeat.

Spurs against Chelsea is the same story.

Stats pointed to the Spurs game for us being tricky, Fergie had the same problem as did Moyes.

J. Marston

BT are a shower of **** too.

They completely ignore Stambouli's knee high studs up tackle on Carrick but we get 28 replays of the Rooney and Kane 50/50 in the box with comments like "Could that have been a penalty?! Oh it might have been, you know!"

QPR can be tricky at home too, they have a very good record there.

West Ham away would be very tough as well you would think.

Yeah I thought the ref didn't really give that a proper look in the first half alright.

Whatever about stamping authority on a game, it's his dubious ability to determine what is a foul and what isn't and what is a card and what isn't that I have an issue with. An ability that might come in handy considering his profession, he seems to be guessing half the time.

I also agree with he poster who said we missed Felaini today. Now we didn't think we would be saying that this time last year ! We were totally out fought in the second half when it became a scrap rather then a game of football.

As for transfer policy I'd love to bring in Vertongan. Get rid of Evans. Rojo and Vertongan first choice center haves with Jones and Smalling providing the backup and competition.

Our last 5 away games to Stoke:
2013/14 Lost 2-1
2012/13 won 2-0
2011/12 drew 1-1
2010/11 won 1-2
2009/10 won 2-0

So we have 3 wins, a draw and a loss under Moyes.

Proper performance today from the washed up yesterday's man Juan Mata. Thought he was sublime from start to finish, I'll forgive him the blast over the bar...

I feel if Rafael had of started over Valencia we would've had a more balanced attack.

Rafael was dire when he came on . Stupid and headless. IMO Valencia is ahead of him at the moment.
Mcnair was a nervous wreck anytime the ball was at his feet and kept goofing it away. Surprised he didn't start Smalling.
Should have won the game but spurs got things together at half time and contained us well in the second half

Utd get Mata for 36/37 million.

Hazard was sold for 30m + 6m-ish agents fees.

Chelsea got the better side of that alright.

Mata is back on the bench when Di Maria is fit.

Don't think aanyone debating that Hazard is not the better player, dunno where that came from? I'd swap Mata and 25 million for Hazard!

Utd had the opportunity to sign Hazard but Fergie wouldn't pay agents fees.

WTF has that got to do with Mata?

I seem to recall Hazard being particularly unlikeable at that stage, tweeting every couple of days about which club he wanted to join (bit like LeBron James when he was going to Miami). Don't think it was agents fees but I could be wrong.

Edit: As magic said, Hazard is bringing it off topic.

Will I Amnt

There were a couple of posters popping in here laughably saying he was "past his peak". I'm just having a pop back, is that simple enough to understand?
I'm not proclaiming him to be better than anybody else.

Liverpool fans have a strange obsession with Mata

Was Mata swapped out for Hazard thought it was for Willian

Hazard chose to go to London. Pretty much the same way as Sanchez went when Liverpool thought they had him

I think it was Oscar keeping him out of the team. Don't think anyone was signed as a replacement. Jose just didn't like Mata, happens in every club when a manager comes in. Mata was immensely popular and say that's probably why Mourinho wasnt a fan

And I'm just saying that you might be happy with Matas game today but Chelsea are the real winners.
