    Apart from a few dodgy moments from the back I don't think were playing that bad .. Whatever happens we have to win this match, every point is now worth its weight in gold.

    He's had a few good layoffs. People are over critical of Rooney over other players imo. He's been good, but not great.

    probably cause hes on crazy wages and the captain

    For all the talk of his technique,the one thing that lets him down is his touch,Herrera played one nice pass into him and it bounced 5 yards off him,it's as if he's already thinking of what he's going to do with it but forgets the basic task of getting it under control first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Ah in faireness he prob does when your playing two strikers

    Far less than normal. If he leta a player go high up the pitch, there will be players covering. He doesn't need to be competing for everything now that he's on a card.

    If he gets a second it is braindead behaviour.

    United actually playing alot better than I have seen them recently. RVP has just been woeful in his shooting up front. Still look dodgy at the back but Swansea haven't had as much as the ball as I thought they would.

    Okay so he miscontrolled a ball. As did eurry other player on the team. Hererra did it twice :eek: He's been grand. Nothing special. RvP has certainly been much worse. Fell too.

    Hererra has been very good imo. Imagine how different things could have been if he signed last season.

    Val on, McNair off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Valencia coming on!!! Ah jaysus


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    Never thought Id say this but Val for Mc Nair is a positive sub


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Good call from LVG swapping McNair for Big Val.

    McNair off,Valencia on.Swansea fullback runs to get a second pair of shinpads to protect from balls being smashed against him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,017 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    What's the story with raf?? Did he fuck lvgs daughter or what


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Good sub, McNair is one for the future, but looked risky defensively today. Has a good eye for a pass though

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    That was never a foul. Further shocking refereeing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    Shaw is never tracking his man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,125 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Ridiculous playing McNair right back when we have Valencia and Rafael.

    Another masterclass display from Di Maria..... how much did he cost and how much does he get in wages?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    The corners are so pathetic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,583 ✭✭✭Dante


    Di Maria, oh dear...

    At least we know what Giggs' role in training is.

    But refs are biased towards United as you just said? Surely a harsh card would go against that?

    So your not happy when I say anything supportive of utd either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,309 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    Poor from RVP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Rvp is just completely devoid of any confidence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,852 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    The goal aside there is little confidence or conviction in anything we do. RVP gets a sniff and it's just swing the boot and hope for the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    What has happened to RVP's shooting? Whatever about the pace going and getting older, the tame sciffs wide make bo sense


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,948 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Di Maria needs to harden up a bit

    Di Maria is like a 15year old playing u21 just brushed off the ball everytime.

    3 bad crosses from Young so far...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    Young has changed things for us for the better

    Get his mammy on the job, get him to bulk a bit! He's getting knocked off the ball way too easy.

    His heart doesn't seem in it. If you don't want it you will get found out in the premier league.

    Young has brought more energy to this game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Young seems to be playing with more freedom than pretty much every United player on the pitch, barring maybe Blind and Herrera.

    He's a passenger alright , hopefully he pulls it together, must be embarrassing for him to be made look like this.

    Mata must have been in on it as well

    Finding a man is putting it behind them and somewhere they'll never be able to do anything with it? But o..k..

    Just because he's getting the ball a bit and not doing anything with it doesn't suddenly make him great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,948 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Only a matter of time I think


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,606 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Feels like a goal is coming at least.

    Grand. Clearly you can't admit he's doing well.

    Goal incoming for united.
