As your responding I will take it you can read so read the post again...I said Shaw 'looks' overweight....ie not trim and fighting fit in my eyes,and Rafael totally lost Drogba for Goal and Drogba wouldn't exactly be Pacy over the first five yards at this stage of his career:)

I don't agree. He does look fit and strong.

As for the goal, rvp got a slight touch to it, should have stayed on the line. Drogba was ahead of raf and jumped pretty high. Sure, raf could have been in front. I wouldn't blame him too much. Was a really good header.

I hope he does.

Being proved wrong about Mata and Fellaini would make me a happy bunny.

Where was Falcao today, out injured?

He slept in.

From our back four last year, I'd replace Ferdinand in the summer, rotate Evra and Shaw til X-mas, buy Hummells and maybe a rightback, then let Evra, Vidic, Evans, Jones and Smalling go.

However the men in control, Ed Woodward, don't know when to hold or when to fold. Just drop cards.

After the summer window we had I find it hard to believe there is anyone left who doubts Woodward. I guess we found one.

Even his harshist cricitcs on here haven't made a peep about him since the summer.

Thats some serious silly-ness you just typed.

I remember in the first half, Hazard broke into the box and Fellaini came out of nowhere to take the ball off him with a perfectly executed challenge. If that had been last year, he probably would have conceded a penalty.

He's a different player this year, his confidence is back and he's beginning to look like the Fellaini of 2012 again

By most accounts, he had nothing to do with Vidic (who left cause he didnt want to work with Moyes) and Evra (who didn't want to be a back up LB) leaving. Slating Woodward after the fantastic summer we had is just bizarre...

Rafael wasn't at fault for the goal. Whoever decided that a 5ft 6 or 7 full back should be picking up a 6ft 3 or 4 powerful in the air ctr fwd was. He was never going to win a header again him

It might be. However it's better than sucking up the crap we're dealing with now.

What's your solution?

Wait till Evans, Jones and Smalling are fit enough to compete to become an average defensive combo?

Wait another couple of years for Rafael to stop lunging into tackles and getting caught out of position?

Wait for Carrick to save our season?

:P

Lads you should take a little trip over to the Chelsea thread, it's quite funny especially with all the laughable comments about Hazard being better than Di Maria:

DM - 3 goals and 4 assists in 6 games
EH - 2 goals and 1 assist in 8 games (1 goal was a peno)

Agree...To give Shaw that mark is very very harsh IMO

Surely you don't expect Chelsea to get dragged into a scrap for 6th?

Of course not. Far better than that huge battle between Pool and co for sixth.

I do think some people are bit OTT about the performance but Chelsea were far from half arsed.

What a load of tosh.

United were also missing Rooney and Falcao among others.

I think Chelsea seemed very lax, no urgency, I imagine mourinho gave them a lashing at half time. I agree with your ott sentiment

Hahaha will you stop. Nothing more satisfying that getting a point in the last few kicks of the game.
At least it's not an own goal, that's far more embarrassing.

A lot of opposition fans are obsessed with United and drawing 1-1 with the team more than likely going to win the league. Missing Rooney and Falcao and the fact we have been riddled with injuries since game 1 this season, take into account we are progressing with each game and the new squad we have. Mourinho did nothing last year cause he was building his team, same as with LVG & Utd this year.

Rayne Wooney

Credit where it's due Fellaini was very good today and being our best player in the last two games you could say he deserves a start in the Derby

It is beyond ridiculous that Rafael was marking Drogba for some set pieces, but Chelsea are such a threat that chances are whoever else he was marking could have scored too, that needs to be much better organised before the game but we aren't going to play Chelsea every week

I was sitting there feeling so sorry for myself at the ninety-third minute; I was thinking well the last minute goals are a thing of the past, it's been over a year now and I suppose I'm used to the disappointmenTTT AAAHHHHAHAHHHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

To all you Man Utd fans, keep the faith.

I love this club.

I enjoy the 'banter' with fellow supporters.

It might be harsh and it might hurt your feelings but I mean it!

In conclusion, I just don't care.

So get the **** over it, .... *****
