Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016 - Mod Note in OP, 13/9

Lord TSC

Ooooh. That line up could be a 4-1-2-1-2 I was talking about a while back...

De Gea
Val - Rojo - Blind - Shaw
Carrick
Herrera - Pogba
Mata
Rashford - Ibra

Carrick sitting back in between the CB while Val and Shaw provide the width.. here's hoping

Carrick, Herrera, Pogba plus Mata, be interesting to see how/if this works out.

No Rooney. Injured? Punished for that 'Players stunned by distant Mourinho!' article which implied a senior leak at the club? He's certainly not in need of a rest.

Injured apparently, going into the Chelsea game anyway and there doesn't seem to be an update since the weekend.

Mourinho needs to come out and explain the Mkhitaryan situation.

Agreed has he said much about it?

Things must be bad if he can't make the LC squad - is he Utd's version of Alberto Aquilani or Lazar Markovic? Bad luck if he is esp given his much bigger reputation

In the same way Ronaldo was United's version of Anthony Le Tallec.

Even as a United fan, it's hilarious how pissy some United fans are getting on here.

"Weird that Mkhitaryan isn't playing."

"Yeah, well remember Anthony Le Tallec?! HA HA HA!!!"

How Soon Is Now

Ffs no mykitarian again.....

Rossi IRL

Could Tuazambe (spelling) or even ro-sean williams not of played?

City seem to have to problem playing some young players tonight.

I would of rested Shaw for another game, played Rojo left back and then 1 of the young lads in center back.

On a totally separate note it really is odd that Mourinho is still living in a hotel since July, he could afford a block of Apartments let alone one. Especially since he does not like living in a hotel, could it be that difficult to find one. It's not like he would have to suss them out himself. It is odd indeed. Jose just go and buy a nice apartment and be happy. Obviously missing the family, first time I think he's been away from them for work related reasons .

secman

A nice rendition of dirty oul town

Quandary

I'm in no way confident about this match. Rojo at centre half is massively worrying.

Their central defenders not much better though., Kompany not near his best. Fancy our front line more than their starting one.

J. Marston

Should be 1 down after 80-ish seconds.

Huge improvement from Sunday.

KH25

Mike dean. Right I have no hope.

How did he manage when he was with Real Madrid and Inter? Did his family go with him then?

Worrying vibes coming out at moment

Seems be getting to players.

yes but his children were young. now they are young adults and are happy and settled in london.

Hank Scorpio

Shaws acceleration looks shot, probably lacking fitness

Rayne Wooney

It's really time to drop Ibra

J. Marston

Lets see Shaw's brother complain now.

Shaw has fúcking shíte. He may as well be a training dummy when standing up to Navas.

Liam McPoyle

Shaw looks off kilter, obvious rustiness showing.

Quandary

Shaw looking very poor against Navas. Like he's lost a yard of pace or something. Pogba with a few flashes but so far a nothing performance from him again IMO.

They school going , much easier, his daughter is 20 and in college in London. Son is 17 and in a football academy.

Bret Hart

Awful.

We watching the same game. United attacking and pressing for 45 mins. City break if with pace it's been a decent game of ball.

Best game i can remember from him anyway.

Cue him to give a way a peno or summit.

Great save
Best move of the game

Rashers. Some player. Would love to see him down the middle he'd tear it up in behind

Mars Bar

I love Herrera's passion but he really couldn't argue that that wasn't a free kick!

Hococop

Hon mata

ElChe32

Get in Mata lad!

sReq | uTeK

BOOM. Ibra serious strength. It was coming now don't let up

ElChe32

All came from Herra's terrier like closing down.

J. Marston

Love Mata.

Think we need a sub to energise. I hope we don't retreat for the last 30 and invite city on

Ah zlatan

sReq | uTeK

What a ****ing pass on his left.

secman

Big improvement by United in second half. Herrera is a tenacious terrier, led by example tonight.

sReq | uTeK

GREAT WIN.

Lord TSC

Liverpool, Fenerbache, Chelsea, City

If you'd offered me 2 wins a draw and a loss before embarking on the 10 day run, I'd probably have taken it. The manner of the loss hurts, but overall, happy with the results of the last few matches.

0 wins in 6 now for Pep. Still just a lack of luck? :P

Kerrydude1981

Good honest second half performance

Deserved the win.

Maybe Pogba should stay out on the left

Liam McPoyle

Happy enough with the second half, though it has to be said it was half a City team.

Good to get the win, hopefully 3 points against Burnley at the weekend.

Great game from him tonight again. Delighted to see him taking his chance. Rojo was very solid in fairness to him too.
