Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2017

What I loved about his second goal(yes it took a massive deflection) was in the build up he plays it between two defenders. Now he didn't just try and squeeze the ball in between the two of them. He expected a challenge to come in and just dinked the ball up and past them like strikers do when lifting the ball over a keeper.

Pure and utter class.

What's total quality that you would only expect from a few players in football. The build up to goal was better then the goal itself.

Cantona's Collars

Wayne Rooney has now registered 5 Premier League assists this season, as many as Mesut Ozil, David Silva and Eden Hazard combined.

And yes,scuffed shots and 3 yard passes 20 yards from goal count as assists.

He was ok this evening.Not great but not shite either,his attempted back heel to Herrera in the first half:pac::pac:

If we win our next 3 games I think we will be within a pint of fourth place Liverpool have everton,stoke,city and Sunderland.
And spurs have to play Chelsea in that time too.

Sunderland,Boro and West Ham should be winnable then we play Liverpool.

That's what I was thinking too and if we do win then we will have some nice momentum and atmosphere at old Trafford against the pool. It will be a cracker.

Defence wise i think we have come on leaps and bounds, if you take out the Watford and Chelsea games we have only let in 10 goals in the other 15 games. We really need to start making inroads on the teams ahead of us goal difference though.

I haven't been in the away end at a United game in over 20 years I think. Today would have been good craic. Don't remember hearing a peep from the home fans today bar GSTQ at some stage and a few half hearts boos towards Zlatan after he floored the CB

Wonder would an Arsenal or City win be better tomorrow.

How the **** does he get that high off the ground!

Phils version he probably doesn't make it 6 inches off from his standing leg ha.

And he is about 20 feet away from everyone. ya know. just in case

I'd prefer a draw but if you were going on what happens in other years I'd prefer city to win because we have greater chance of arsenal falling away.

Yep. Love our players having little celebrations on their own. Hard to beat Herrera's in the dugout last season...

The worst match is normally last

It's why we heavily featured there, last year

I don't know why everyone is complaining about the vardy red card it was the correct decision all day long same as Rojo one should of been the against palace.

I think the complaints should be against the referee more as its the same ref who let Rojo off with a yellow for what was arguably a little worse

It was a loose loose situation for him today then if he had of made the wrong call they would of wanted hime dropped and today Howard Webb said he should be dropped for sending vardy off. Unbelievable.

jayo26

I can't actually see how they saying it's not a red card.... yes he won the ball but he went with two feet off the ground and right before he won the ball he directed both studded booths into the ball if the defender had to of won the ball first it would of been a horror challenge.

Flint Fredstone

I loved Zlatan's barge. If you are that big and strong you let the opposition know. It wasn't filthy, it got a deserved yellow and put the sh*ts up the defender. Fair outcome.

Brunt's was far more cynical but it was a fair outcome too. Good to see a bit of physicality still about.

Jayop

Ref got the pen and the red correct. Motd pundits are generally morons.

adox

Red card and peno imo

Jayop

That cross gets better every time I see it.

Sure Rojo won the ball easily against Everton, but we all know that it should have been a red card as its against the laws of the game. Its the English player thing come up again, if that was johnny foreigner there would be nothing made about the red card

When you look at the team and the bond they all seem to have together you have to think jose is doing a pretty good job with them.

You have zlatan the biggest ego in football,
Rooney the most hated man in football,
The worlds most expensive player
3 Spanish best mates,
Few young lads looking to get into a team for games,
World class signing that was told he had to improve before he got into the team,
A world cup winning midfielder told he has basically no chance in the team,
Injury prone defender and another few that are even more prone to mistakes..

But yet they all seem to be loving playing together and been in same team and doing karate kicks on each other it looked so different last year.

Jayo you forgot that on top of all those complications the team is managed by Jose Mourinho, most hated man in football.

some lovely movement from Pogba in that goal, also Jose calling Rojo and Jones over and telling them to keep it tight.

Does anybody else find the individual, distinctive cheer in those videos funny? There's always one and I'm waiting on it every angle. I kind of make the sound in my head along with it... Just me?... anybody?
