wba defended well but we should of won the match.. poor result

 

[Lach72]

That second goal for them was horrendous

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Just saw our goals, both fantastic hits, happy to see Fellaini score, like him and hope he plays more and also blind getting his first for the club, placed it perfectly in the bottom corner.

So I just saw someone say that (completely serious) Rojo is the best Centre Half on our list.

He probably is, was good yesterday besides the 1st goal better than Jones.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

And a good CB would have seen that cut back ball to sessengon before it happened and intercepted it. It's the stupidity and lack of leadership that's got us in big trouble this season.

Rooney's aggro would've given us a lift

He is the worst. He was terrible, again. The second goal was partially his fault too.

 

[A Bit High]

Rojo gives me no confidence as yet. Something bad looks likely to happen when he is around the ball thus far

 

[pantskyle]

He hasn't settled but he can play, he is better when playing behind Di Maria but Shaw is better overall in that spot.

He also needs a partner at CB who is consistent as well, too many injuries so he has a new one each game.

 

[rooboy_07]

we would be seeing more solid performances at the back if we could use the same back 4 for a few games in a row

 

[pantskyle]

Dani Alves could stay at Barca and no deal with United who are interested.

Victor Valdes is currently training with United, originally thought to be LvG doing an ex-player a favour however sources claim he will have a medical with us with a view to sign him to a deal.

Very happy with that if true, an excellent goalkeeper who is only 32. If he successfully get's over his injury has plenty of years left, will provide excellent back up to De Gea or if De Gea does end up going to Madrid would be a very hand replacement.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yeh not bad back up, not that good now though but better than what we have.

Happy dani alves isn't coming, to old and Rafael is getting better every game, don't want to stall his progress.

 

[pieman123]

Di Maria and Herrera both fit for Chelsea game.

 

[eth-dog]

Thank the ******* lord.

Well we are still interested in him.

 

[A Bit High]

Is Costa playing?

 

[Nallad]

Is Costa playing?

Jose said he's "a chance". He will play

 

[A Bit High]

Jose said he's "a chance". He will play

Apparently if he gets thru training he will start.

Cant see him lasting the full 90.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

I hope it's an open game then we can forget about defending and just try score more goals than them

Is this not the very thing people rant about in here?

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Is this not the very thing people rant about in here?

Yeah i meant like it's an inevitability anyway.
Plus imo it'd be likelier to get 3 pts at home this week than at city week after. We need to beat at least one of them

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Don't we forget about defending everygame anyway? Won't be any different, but fabregas, Oscar, Costa and hazard are going to rip shreds through our fragile defence.

All we can hope for is mata, di Maria, Falcao and RVP do the same for us. We definitely have the attacking power to trouble them, but they do to and it'll most likely come down to which team defends better which will not be us.

Pissed that rooney is still out. Also I reckon play Falcao upfront alone, bench RVP and add another midfielder, Fellaini, to give blind and herrera a chop out.

De Gea

Rafael Rojo Jones Shaw
Herrera Blind Fellaini
Di Maria Mata
Falcao

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Imagine if Fellaini got good.

 

[rooboy_07]

not overly excited about either valdes or alves tbh. another game full of goals tonight most likely

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

******* hell this is at a very inconvenient time. not sure if i will be able to stay up.

the team i'd go with 4-1-4-1:
ddg
rafa, jones, rojo, shaw
blind
valencia, herrera, mata, di maria
falcao
