Why does Moyeezus need to use 2 wingers again?

I have a brilliant idea. No wingers, Mata and Kagawa behind RVP/Rooney. Get some slob off the bench so you play with 3 people in the midfield.

wow

such tactics
much problem-solvers
very united

 

[Clegg]

benching rooney now that he's the highest-earning footballer in the country would make moyes look even worse than he already does.

And as manager he shouldn't give a shit how he looks so long as he gets the best out of the team. There'd be questions as to why he gave such a contract to Rooney is he isn't playing him, but they'd be quelled if the team started playing well.

Rollercoaster tycoon 4... for mobiles. You know that south park episode where all Stan sees around him is shit? That's how it is going into gaming side and looking at new announcements.

Big publishers like EA have done a fucking great good of driving away middle tier gaming that could bring in so many more customers. So all the publishers left nowadays are sticking everything onto mobile to fix their bloated budgets.

i don't even understand why united, with their outdated 4-4-2, still buy players like mata and kagawa.

these players are innocent. they mean no harm. leave them alone.

4-4-2 can actually work with the right players and tactics. Someone like Lennon or Townsend bombing it up the wings. But yeah, Mata or Kagawa in a 4-4-2? Meh.

 

[K1LLER7]

On Sunday, RVP had just 27 touches, the fewest of any starter on either side - including both goalkeepers.


-------------- Rooney ---------------
Welbeck -- Kagawa -- Januzaj
-------- Carrick - Fellaini -------
Evra - Evans - Jones - Rafael
----------- De Gea -------------

 

[Blablurn]

:lol this

why don't they just start their own OT ffs

Nah. I wanna keep posting my pictures of successful bayern to remind you that your team will never be able to achieve the same.

 

[tri_willy]

I wouldn't trust him with the funds. Glazer's shouldn't either. He spent 37m on Mata and plays him out of position. Nothing will change even with more signings. United need to realise that he won't be another fergie. Just because he's given time doesn't automatically mean he'll succeed.

you know, coz moyes wants to make mata a bigger flop than carroll at liverpool... money wise

Spoiler

carroll is obviously the bigger flop

@wooden, what are your thoughts on mata now??? haha

Oh. The old Christmas tree, eh? Carrick, Felliani and a cone in midfield, Kagawa and Mata in front on them, RVP or Rooney up top.

 

[Wilbur]

Lets just stop doing formations with either RVP or Rooney out of the team because it isn't going to happen

I love how that Manchester mob fight thread instantly turned into everyone laughing at Moyes, even people I've never seen in this thread before.

@wooden, what are your thoughts on mata now??? haha

I'm not a fan anymore. Little coward, fits perfect into the United team though.

i very much doubt that. it'd even get worse, i'd imagine. "if they can play like that, then, surely, they should be able to do even better WITH rooney, one of england's best players!" is what most people would probably say.

players like ferdinand or vidic are has-beens at this point; moyes could bench them, and no one would really question it, but rooney's 28, has only just signed a new super contract, and is seen as one of the best players in the country.

whether they'd actually improve without rooney or not remains to be seen--i doubt it--but it'd only make things worse for moyes.

At the beginning of the season Neville made a point, which I guess is being echoed around Old Trafford, about Manchester United's "DNA". How the team will always use wingers and crosses, and how changing it isn't an option for Moyes.

We have a winner

 

[Zabojnik]

With his outing against Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris, Gigi Bufgfon has equalled the number of appearances made by another goalkeeping legend: Dino Zoff.

GRAZIE CAPITANO!

 

[GorillaJu]

Because we play pretty great football at the moment and its not really our fault when the rest of the leauge just stopped being competitive. If you watch Bundesliga for the championship its pretty boring but thats a failure of the runner up(s). Before this season started, they werent even trying. Bundesliga has a problem, because the top 5 clubs in Europe are equally strong but Bundesliga isnt. We saw that in Champions League and it will continue in the next few years until we become either the Scottish league or worse, Serie A...

Buy rivals' best players.

I ventured over to gaming side for the first time in months to see if this was true... I don't actually mind mobile games when they're done right, but roller coaster tycoon holds a special place in my heart. and the real kicker is all this social garbage, all this "trade blueprints with your friends!" bullshit can go fuck itself. you could make a really good RCT or Sim City game for tablets with the right UI and some creative designers but I'm pretty certain this is going to be complete shit.

ugh.

I'm going to go punch a wall now.

Haha, good work

 

[Jack cw]

That's hyperbole. We did a good job in the first few months, especially considering we had to replace Gündogan, Piszczek and some other cunt. It just went all downhill when more and more players got injured and we noticed there's no point trying to keep up with Bayern if that means not making it past the group stages in the CL.

Isnt that the whole point? Last year you lost the championship because of your bench. This year your bench was even smaller and there is no way to compensate the injuries. That is the reason why Bayern bought Götze and Thiago in the first place. To have alternatives at top level when other players are out and to be more versatile. And your last senctence says it all. You didnt even bother to compete. Obviously Dortmund gave up on Bundesliga because CL was about to be lost too. There is only one explanation: The roster is too small and the bench lacks quality.

Buy rivals' best players.

"It's not our fault the rest of the league sucks."

Morsel pls.
We would have bought players like Götze and Lewandowski from other clubs too. Thats how things work in your league too, so please avoid double standards here.

Well, I have something here to remind you of your 2012 CL loss.

 

[Jarnet87]

He'll score the odd goal to mask the shit he pulls throughout the game.

Stick either of WR/RVP up front. The other to the bench.

Then again, Moyes is worried about what "people might say" if he dared to take either off.

I shared this sentiment since the beginning of the season. The man is spineless. Good managers make tough decisions, something that Moyes has refused to do all season.

I will always hate Bayern for failing to win that game.

Saw that Red Issue thing a few weeks ago. If it's true then it's just another sign that Moyes is out of his depth. No matter what you think of Ferdinand as a person, he was one of Europe's finest defenders at his peak. Moyes telling him to play more like Phil Jagielka must be a slap in the face to someone of Rio's stature.

Basically bringing his training methods which worked at Everton and expecting them to work at United is a work of the highest folly.

I am. Liked the first episode, hopefully the following ones won't be as ... basic. The production is pretty great and Neil is an awesome host.
