Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015 Mod Note Post #2331

Mata has been good in recent battles with Liverpool. Although his form has been sub-par lately, I fancy him to have far more of a presence in this match than Lingard.

Martial has been the one glimmer of light for us in a very sloppy first half.

Edit: Darmian and Borthwick-Jackson at full back is nice to see in regards to players being played in their best positions. Shame it came as a result of an injury to Young though.

Today's match looks every bit the mid table clash it is. No quality on display whatsoever.

A couple of corners in a row(probably Utds best chance of scoring and one of Liverpools weakest points) and the delivery from Blind was brutal. Very frustrating.

Totally impotent as an attacking force, Utd look relatively comfortable until Liverpool up the pace where they just can't live with them. Fellaini and Schneiderlin have done of together as a pair in the middle and surprisingly it's been Fellaini finding himself as the deeper covering midfielder more often than not.

Young was poor so no big loss coming off and I'm glad to see Darmien back in his favoured position. Also don't understand why Martial and Lingard started on opposite wings to midweek when they did so well.

Anyway really poor quality from both teams and Utd look the lesser of the teams.


Pretty depressing stuff but not unexpected.

Lingard needs to come off, Mata on. He has been non existent first half

Think the wide players should be swapped around to how they played midweek.

crazy to think we have no striker on the bench to come on. Martial looks like he is the only one who will do something.

Put giggs on the left, Keane scholes in the middle and beckham on the right, 2 up top cole and yorke..... oh sorry was just dreaming there

I hope he takes Fellaini off, the guy excels at literally nothing. I can see him taking Herrera off though who has been pretty poor tbf for Mata.

What has Fellaini done wrong today to warrants him being taken off at half time?

I agree, there have been worse players today then him.

Robson99

In 30 odd years following Utd this is the worst ****e I have seen. The team are totally disorganized and clueless.
And to think that some posters here and other fans you'd talk to say we have made some progress!!!. Laughable

He's right though.

Let's not forget we have a LB come CM playing at centre half and no striker to bring on.

DARK-KNIGHT

Blaming fellaini for everything is simply stupid. Van gaal has a quarter of a billion worth of players playing utterly ****e football.

Oi van gaal.... Go home

Liam McPoyle

Two poor teams.

DARK-KNIGHT

We need to act fast and remove van gaal.

If giggs was given job til pep or mourinho come in at least we might see some attack minded football

Martial has been United's best defender. :pac:

Fair play to Jones and Rojo. Right in the middle of the United fans.

No shots on goal by utd, typical

Lingard has been shocking. Can't see him ever being good enough.

Carrick is in there too.

To quote Pat Spillane, it's puke football by both teams.
If you saw this stuff down the local park you'd walk away after ten minutes.

Real Madrid are four nil up after twenty minutes at home and flicking between the channels you'd be forgiven for thinking you were watching two completely different sports.

in fairness this is the biggest and most intense rivalry in english football. Madrid are playing sporting gijon

Fellani not even interested. Should be ashamed of himself

No he hasn't.

I was just about to sigh about how Madrid are 4-0 up after 18 mins in Zizou's second game in charge.

Lets get Giggs in...but feck that King Van Gaal what:p:o

He has been one of Uniteds better performers. That's saying something about the rest of the team

One assist doesn't cover up 85 mins of ****

Lord TSC

Talk about stealing a win.

While I celebrated the goal, the preformance was so, so poor and it feels like one of those "kicking he can down the road" matches. It will keep LVG in the job for a while, another scrappy 1-0 win where we looked by far the worse team.

massive ****ing massive 3 points

I think we all need to take a moment to relish how fúcking shít Liverpool are.

We're pretty bad at the moment but that useless shower of shít couldn't even beat us, at home, with their new messiah.

Thanks Liverpool.

Keep that red flag flyin' high...cos Man United 'll never die!

Ya well i don't care cos it keeps VanGall in a job.

Hur de hur hur.

Massive 3 points today, delighted for Rooney. Good to see us grind wins out the hard way, can only be good for the team.

adox

Delighted with the win but hardly deserved. Surprised other regulars here think Utd deserved the three points.

Better in the second half but utter ****e really.

Two very very poor teams.

thelad95

That was, without any close comparison, the worst Liverpool-United game I have ever seen.


But who cares :D:D:D 4 from 4 against Liverpool for Van Gaal.

KH25

Good finish by Rooney. Lucky to win but my god Pool were awful up front. I've never seen a united and Liverpool team as poor as these two.

Adamocovic

Liverpool deserved the win but happy to see Rooney on the score-sheet again.

Hopefully his form continues, he's had some start to the year.

We are going to get top 4.


Morgan and Ander will start every game and will stay fit for the remainder of the season.

Rooney will find form and go on a scoring streak of no less than 5 games, starting this weekend.

Luke Shaw will return before the end of the season to consolidate our 3rd place finish (behind City and the Arse)

We will threaten to make a tilt at the title but fatigue will take its toll and a comfortable third place finish will be ours.

Choo choo.

2 points off 4th, 7 points off top. #VanGaalIn

I am so happy right now.

For all the complaints about Fellaini that some have, he played a crucial role in the goal, and isn't it great to see Rooney these past number of games where he is so alive in front of goal and striking the ball lovely.

What mattered was the result.
