If I was a Chelsea fan I wouldn't be too concerned as they buy all their players anyway
Some clubs like us still like to develop our players occasionally

De Gea, Henriquez, Powell, Zaha......we also buy young talent

De Gea, Henriquez, Powell, Zaha......we also buy young talent

That we do but I was thinking ofacademy players. Clevers, Welbeck, Rafael Fabio joined when they were 17. Not to mention the older blokes like Fletch, Scholes, Giggs etc etc

 

[rooboy_07]

been poor lately going to have to lift massively to get the 3pts...

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

My lineup:
de Gea
Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra
Carrick, Jones, Cleverley
Welbeck, RVP, Kagawa

But we'll probly see:
de Gea
Rafael, Rio, Vidic, Evra
Carrick, Cleverley
Valencia, Rooney, Young
RVP

Prediction: 2-2

Nah I reckon Jones will play. One of Sir Alex's favorites. Rafa and Rooney are fit again apparently which is good and I can't see Rooney missing out again

We should go
De Gea
Rafael Vidic Evans Evra
Carrick Jones
Young Rooney Kagawa
RVP

Lindgaard Buttner Ferdinand Cleverley Welbeck Nani Hernandez


Cmon United!!!
Smash these minnow pla$tic campaigners

 

[Oscarman]

Been very poor so far. Until now

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

yep much better second half. still think it'll end up 2-2.

 

[rooboy_07]

with our form and fixtures to come think the title race will end up pretty close

 

[SuperCats9]

I think we will end up 6pts on top come seasons end. We're out of form, big guns aren't firing and there are some tough games ahead.

 

[A Bit High]

We will be fine...far to many edgy fans here.

As Frankie said back in the 80's - RELAX

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Can't relax!!
If we lose to Stoke we are in the exact same position as last season with harder games to go!!
Before tonight I was thinking it was good that we finally have a ful squad to choose from. Turn it on and we have 3 CB injured as well as Young who got injured with a couple minutes to go.
We really have a problem on the wings. Giggs shouldn't start big games anymore, Valencia is rubbish (how SAF keeps playing him is baffling), Young not much bettter, Nani is inconsistant as ever and Kagawa who is good.
Good news is that I think i heard Sir Alex say that all three injured CB's just didn't get up so hopefully they are right for the Stoke and West Ham trips!
For stoke we need Vidic and Ferdinand playing imo as they play a tough no nonsense style. Also drop Van Persie. You need a striker who who can have confidence in and right now his finishing which is what he is renowned for is bloody awful. Chicha is the better option. Stoke are in poor form too so hopefully to manage to sneak a win

 

[A Bit High]

Last season 8 points clear from 6 games, this season 12 points from 7 games.

City hard tough fixtures as well and they won't win all of them

 

[SuperCats9]

I'm relaxed, it's just the way we are playing and the amount of 'out-of-form' players we have that is starting to annoy me. For RVP to be nearly matching Torres' goal drought is laughable, considering how good he was for us at the start of the season, he looked like scoring every game, now he doesn't at all. Don't know why SAF hasen't given Hernandez a go, feel sorry for him, just can't get in the side but Welbeck can? jesus! If we lose Chicharito in the summer i'll be fuming.

We shouldn't have a complete meltdown again, and 12pts SHOULD be enough (Seriously, we can't lose from here), but as we saw last season, anything can happen.

Welbeck is one of my favorites and is primarily being played as a winger these days which is good as we don't have too many other options. Chicha is unforunately behind Rooney and RVP and can only play as a striker. Hope he starts at the Britannia in a few days. I remember he scored 2 there in 10/11 and one of them was that back header

When Manchester United plays against sides with good/quick fullbacks, they struggle to score. There was enough possession there to score more but it wasn't translated into opportunities. Rafael's had a rough month with some awful touch shown against Man City. Wellbeck is turning into Valencia - all huff and puff for no result.

 

[SuperCats9]

Valencia has been woeful this season. After what he did last season, I was excited to see him continue that form into this season wearing the famous no.7, but boy hasn't he struggled. Same goes for young and nani. Can't remember a title winning season where our wingers were crap. Hopefully zaha changes this next season.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

im liking todays lineup

 

[A Bit High]

I'm liking todays result!

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Onto the Hammers now!!
Just off the top of my head I think we will go
DDG
Rafael Smalling Evans Buttner
Young Cleverley Ando Nani
Welbeck
RVP

Although with Fergie and our massive squad it is really hard to tell. Will Rafa be back?

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

it's quite hard to predict which 11 will be on the park for us. don't think i have gotten 1 perfectly yet! at this time of the season, i don't really care about what team he puts out there as long as we get those 7 points.

i personally liked the 4-3-3 type of formation last match. we had good possession and i quite like Wazza in that advanced midfield role where i hope we play him more. i doubt we will see it again against the Hammers but i would like:

DDG
Jones, Smalling, Evans, Evra
Rooney, Carrick, Cleverley
Valencia, RVP, Welbeck

I'll stick with Jones at RB. I wouldn't personally throw Young in there after his little injury, maybe bring him on as a sub. Ando or Kagawa can come on at some stage too. maybe Rafa on at some point.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

And i thought Valencia looked a bit sharper and had faster tempo in the last couple of games.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Getting pretty nervous about this game. Dad goes for the Hammers so I can't let him have any bragging rights. Can't see Chicha starting 2 games in a row. Cleverley will definitely start as well Welbeck and Rafa if fit. GGMU!!!!!

 

[pantskyle]

Well I would think we would win this one.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

flipping hell we do like to make it hard for ourselves!!.
I'll bet we will drop points against Villa on Monday!!!!!
Kagawa was good but he was the only one until Giggs came off the bench. I like to trust Sir Alex but why the **** would you take Kagawa off when he's been the only one who's been performing ffs. We HAVE to beat Villa. Otherwise the title race is well and truly back on

 

[A Bit High]

Sorry mate but this constant negative talk is getting old.
Support the club like a true fan or shut the feck up would you
