Just caught up on MOTD.

YES

Anyone here on giffgaff? Looking at their contract deals and they are very willing to give unlimited data for cheap. Is there a catch?

Can't wait.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I was wondering when this would become public.

^ oh damn

Moyes I really want you to succeed but that won't happen.

When we get knocked out of the CL I have a feeling it will be over. We ain't gonna go down we won't be in the CL or EL (hope not.)

You may as well just go.

We are just a crap mid-table team.

 

[Zabojnik]

Giovinco innit.

Seedorf out, Inzaghi in. According to CdS, it could happen now or in June.

Pippo is an intelligent coach, but I don't think Seedorf is to blame here.

WHAT?

Is this common in Italian football?

Corriere dello Spork sprouting total & complete bullshit? Yes, it's very common.

No way Seedorf isn't given at least one full season. No way.

I found the point raised, the one about Brendan's Liverpool/Swansea winning so many penalties, enlightening. I never knew Swansea won so many penalties.

 

[Zabojnik]

Thanks for the spoiler, Lambda. I hope Benfica make it to the EL final.

To be honest, Ferdinand has been awful for a while, I do not think it comes down to Moyes' awful tactics and training methods.

Giggs has no right either storming out of training. Who gives a fuck if you are Manchester United, your defense was utterly shocking yesterday and has been for the majority of the season.

United fans should be worried about the attack more than the defense. The defense has an excuse by being really old.

The attack has no such excuse.


You can say United lost due to the defense, but they certainly would never have won with that shit attack.

Well Rio can fuck off soon so that's ok I can understand him being pissed off about the Jagielka thing that's like your girlfriend saying "my ex was great at doing..."

and yeah great attitude from future coach Giggs, silly cunt.

 

[Salazar]

I do hope that Flanagan has a long career at Liverpool.

I know United fans are in no great position to crow about fullback talent, but that lad is a pitiable, violent clogger.

Training seems to be paying off at least.

 

[Sviatoslav]

So how much will Moyes pay to buy Jagielka in the summer?

 

[bjaelke]

fullback talent, but that lad is a pitiable, violent clogger.

You just described Rafael

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

His actual market value x 1.5

Whatever it takes. I do wonder how much contempt the likes of Herrera are feeling for United now.

 

[Walshy]

The attack has no such excuse.

You certainly should be scoring more goals, but your attack certainly has excuses too.

Adnan looks exhausted and in well need of a rest, someone that young should not be relied on that much. RvP and Rooney look as if they are on different wave lengths - Rooney is a shadow of his former self in that playmaking role and RvP looks like he doesn't want to be there. Mata doesn't seem to have the impact he does on the wings that he does in the middle.

Moyes' inclination to be so offensive midned yesterday ultimately played into Rodgers' tactics. Mata and Adnans lack of tracking back allowed us to control the flanks as well as the middle yesterday. Moyes is the reason for a lot of whats wrong at United, but the lack of discplined players in training will only make matters worse.

 

[subtles]

I'm surprised he didn't pull a Neville for the sake of it. United must have made him cry a wee bit as a lad.

 

[Salazar]

Aye - I indicated that I wasn't speaking from a position of strength.

 

[Ushojax]

At a time when Tottenham are extremely short of central defenders – Michael Dawson is injured, Younes Kaboul has returned to the team but never seems to be far from another injury and a spell out while Jan Vertonghen is suspended for the game in Portugal against Benfica in the Europa League.

There has been no indication of a possible return for Chiriches, the Romanian international and captain, who impressed with his enthusiasm and commitment earlier in the season.

Now, there appears to be a possibility that he could be ready to play soon. @HotspurRelated and @AddictedtoSpurs have tweeted comments from @Emishor, a Romanian journalist, which indicate that Chiriches will soon be available for selection.

Good news, I think he's been one of our best signings this season.

If Cardiff get relegated I wonder if Sherwood will try to re-sign Caulker? Might be a good idea given Kaboul's fitness and Dawson's limitations.

 

[brokenbeans]

Caulker is awesome he will get some attention this summer.

 

[Sviatoslav]

His actual market value x 1.5

And Jagielka is English to boot. There's bound to be an added tax for that. We're going to be approaching Bale/Neymar tier prices here.

 

[Feorax]

Good news, I think he's been one of our best signings this season.

If Cardiff get relegated I wonder if Sherwood will try to re-sign Caulker? Might be a good idea given Kaboul's fitness and Dawson's limitations.

You could certainly do a lot worse. Apparently we're interested in him too as a potential long-term partner to Sakho.

Regardless of whether they stay up or not, I think he's too good for Cardiff.

 

[Yen]

I do hope that Flanagan has a long career at Liverpool.

I know United fans are in no great position to crow about fullback talent, but that lad is a pitiable, violent clogger.

If he can eradicate the silly fouls from his game he could become a top player (maybe not top, top), he's been great this season.

 

[Salazar]

Whatever it takes. I do wonder how much contempt the likes of Herrera are feeling for United now.

:lol

Fuck Ander Herrera.

Rafael being a dim fucker

Yes, there is an intimation of this in my post.

 

[sohois]

You think Sherwood is going to have the option to be re-signing anyone? I can see some resigning going on, but not re-signing.

Moyes is the reason for a lot of whats wrong at United, but the lack of discplined players in training will only make matters worse.

Januzaj has only started 3 games since January 22. I don't think he needs a rest at all. His performances, well his 3 games he started, have looked ordinary because Moyes has played him primarily on the left. He also hasn't impressed much lately because he simply hasn't played enough. Finally, he's only being relied on that much because the attack just doesn't have any creativity which comes from Moyes.

Every attacker looks shit under Moyes. Moyes takes the blame for that. Kagawa looks good with Japan out on the left due to the style of play Japan plays. Mata played on the left for his whole career besides last season and obviously did well there. RVP looks shit because he isn't getting involved like he usually does and Rooney likes to occupy his space. For all this talk (media) that Rooney is doing great this season he's only at 13 goals all season (31 matches). Everyone says he was shit last season and he finished the season with 16 goals in 37 matches.

Everyone is suffering under the ginger goblin. That is due to a number of reasons. His trainings and tactics must be so shit, because it doesn't matter what line up he puts out there, the team is just inept at attacking. His team selection hasn't helped him either.

If he sees the players not moving around a lot, he should work on that in training. If he sees the players aren't comfortable in possession, he should work on that in training. It seems like he's doing nothing to help the attack which is what United have always been about.

 

[TheLucifer]

Pippo is an intelligent coach, but I don't think Seedorf is to blame here.

I don't see that happening unless Seedorf fails completely and we lose every match until the end of the season. Berlusconi clearly wanted him, I think he'll let him on the bench until June 2015 before judging, giving him an entire season from July to June is the best way to see if he's actually capable of managing a team from start to finish.

Otherwise it'll be considered Berlusconi's failure and this time there won't be anybody else to blame, knowing the guy he doesn't want that and will try everything to fix it. Buying good players would be a good way to hide Seedorf inexperience, but we all know that won't happen.

 

[Jack cw]

Thats how you replace a striker like Lewandowski!

 

[Feorax]

If he can eradicate the silly fouls from his game he could become a top player (maybe not top, top), he's been great this season.

Reminds me so much of Arbeloa.

Technically average, but he nails the basics and has the needle in him that you need in a back line.

The fact that he's competent at both LB and RB makes him a valuable commodity. Easily good enough to be 2nd choice for years to come.

 

[Salazar]

Two Barclays Premier League clubs have commissioned genetic profiles of their players to identify their strengths and potential weaknesses, it can be revealed.

It's us.

 

[Mastadon]

It's us.

My money is on Magath. He's sequenced the DNA of his players so that if they can't manage 500 laps of Craven Cottage, he can destroy them at a cellular level.

 

[Feorax]

Looks like we had Dr Peters there yesterday to do some sort of mind-fuck thing against Vidic.

 

[subtles]

It's us.

Wenger must be trying to find an advantage similar to the one he had with the proper diet in the 90s.

He also wants to better understand the cause of his team's consistency.

 

[Yen]

It's us.

Having visions of Moyes doing genetic experiments and inadvertently creating a generation of Cleverleys

Nobody wants to see a rooney/Jones genetic hybrid

 

[Oxx]

Sherwood seems like a man of science.

 

[MrKaepora]

so after all the bitching Sporting ends up winning with an offside goal. unwashed cunts. hope they get crushed in europe next season.

Almost 10 in the morning and I'm still waiting for that Bruno de Carvalho press conference.

Porto are dead inside.

How has the Willy Carvalho that UnitedGaf want been so far ?

Heatmaps for the forwards yesterday;

Shocking how little RVP seems to be doing these days.

 

[TeddyBoy]

You could certainly do a lot worse. Apparently we're interested in him too as a potential long-term partner to Sakho.

Regardless of whether they stay up or not, I think he's too good for Cardiff.

I think it's just his agents, with the system we play we really need CB's who can do everything. Sakho does this, but Caulker does not, we'll happily spend big on a right sided centre back so we can get one partnership for the next nine years.

Regarding Flanagan, I understand United fans frustration with him having so many fouls yesterday, particularly when some Liverpool fans are claiming he'll have a long and great career with us (not much on here but on 505).

I'm not convinced quite yet he has a future with us other than good cover. Pretty sure we'll sign a first choice left back come the summer.

Especially damning when all things considered that was probably a bit of an off day for Suarez.

 

[Jack cw]

 

[Salvadora]

Looks like Kompany could possibly face an additional ban for making an obscene gesture.

Jacky got a two game for that, so he could miss the Arsenal match....

 

[subtles]

Things are going Arsenal's way in the run-in. :/

 

[Feorax]

Especially damning when all things considered that was probably a bit of an off day for Suarez.

That patch on the right hand side says a lot.

We doubled up in the wide areas with our diamond midfield, so we had Allen covering Flanagan, and Henderson covering Johnson.

If United had tried to play through the middle, it would have been a much closer game, but Rodgers knew that Moyes wouldn't change to try that, so it was never in doubt for us.

Obviously Southampton was a trial run for this game, it would seem with hindsight.

Things are going Arsenal's way in the run-in. :/

Going our way as much as Arsenal's, but as of right now, it's still in City's hands.
