What an idiotic thing to do, playing Kagawa as some kind of Pirlo. You lose all his "explosiveness".

He should play as CM when he's in his 30s.

 

[K1LLER7]

:lol 'club business'

He's watching RVP do sprints.

spying on Arsenals training.

 

[bjaelke]

Hannover's #2 is shit. Some guy named Andreasen.

Leon? He's been out with an injury for over a year.

 

[Arnie]

That's what those tall, spire like objects were, they scan the air for any alcoholism present in Fergie's breath.

 

[Tc91]

Kagawa's movement and fakes on the ball are soooo good.

Looks like he's doing okay there. Maybe not contributing enough in defense though

 

[elsk]

Leon? He's been out with an injury for over a year.

He looks very rubbish. Pinto should be playing there.

 

[Kyoufu]

Kagawa is going to destroy PL teams.

 

[Clegg]

Kagawa as a CM could work if we had Fletcher to do the dirty work in the middle. But since Fletch can't play we shud only use Shinji as an attacking midfielder.

 

[Madridy]

PSG own goal

:lol

 

[Arnie]

Kagawa is going to destroy PL teams.

If Silva gets shutdown by Lucas, so does 'ickle Shinji.

I agree but he's been good so far, him and Clev stand outs. Fletch, Clev/Carrick and Shinji would work well I think

 

[Kyoufu]

Should have said *most PL teams

 

[Scum]

Aren't PSG and the rest of Ligue 1 playing tonight?

#mcfc are readying a move for Everton and England international midfielder Jack Rodwell (21) who City have watched extensively. [Sky Sports]

Lets go. Mancini and Marwood have kissed and made up.

 

[K1LLER7]

Kagawa at CM would be okay against the smaller teams, but I only see him playing there if we play a 4-3-3 and he'll probably play a more advanced role in that midfield similar to iniesta at barca.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Can one of you guys give me a good stream for the Hannover 96 v United game. The one I watch keeps on pausing and shit.

 

[Tc91]

They say.. he is a legend.

 

[Meier]

Well, Wazza shouldn't quite his day job. :lol That commercial was painful.

haha oh god, this is brilliant.

He's like Henderson without the bells and whistles.

And yes, I meant what that implies.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

MUTV advertising is depressing. Presenters look like they're trapped and need witness relocation.

 

[LegoArmo]

That Henderson is a Morris dancer?

Of course, he has a good vision and passing but you're missing the best part of Kagawa if you play him there.

Silva is a midget compared to Yaya.

Sounds like Milner mk.II. I suppose De Jong won't last much longer at City since his contract is running out soon (or am i mistaken?) and Rodwell would be a decent replacement for him, but really you would expect City to be bringing in a much stronger replacement.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

That Henderson is a Morris dancer?

Almost spat my beer out.

 

[Razor554]

Nice goal at the end by Afellay, you can stay now.

 

[Arnie]

That Henderson is a Morris dancer?

:lol :lol

Best thing about that gif is how Yaya can't believe how much he's just been done.

We'll get anderson to sit on him

:lol

Gaf's funny tonight.

Hope this happens so I can stop worrying about us spending money on him.

Cleverley has looked good. Said it many times before, a simple player but super effective for us.

 

[Meier]

Rodwell's been a FM wonderkid for some time. I trust in SI's scouting department. Pull the trigger, Mancini!

 

[Arnie]

I know numerous Everton fans who were almost praying United came in and paid big for him. Completely overrated.

Also cute how that link implies City were the ones who scouted Rodwell, and not United.

Why are you buying English players?

 

[ATF487]

Silva is a midget compared to Yaya.

Love this gif.

Can't believe the turnaround he had in about 3 seasons. I hated seeing him on the team sheet when Rafa was around

 

[Vivalaraza]

Rodwell's been a FM wonderkid for some time. I trust in SI's scouting department. Pull the trigger, Mancini!

They're Everton fans.

For reals though, at one stage I did think Rodwell could go on and be a great player but he's done nothing of note for a long time now. Just hasn't kicked on.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Looks like he's doing okay there. Maybe not contributing enough in defense though

Cleverley is the "stayer" and Kagawa is being given licence to roam. Reminds me of last pre-season when we played Cleverley and Giggs in midfield against a MLS team. I wouldn't read too far into it as a predictor for the actual season.

 

[Arnie]

Love this gif.

Can't believe the turnaround he had in about 3 seasons. I hated seeing him on the team sheet when Rafa was around

Same. Used to huff and puff like Kyoufu in the transfer window. Now he's on the back of my shirt.

They're Everton fans.

For reals though, at one stage I did think Rodwell could go on and be a great player but he's done nothing of note for a long time now. Just hasn't kicked on.

One word to describe him is 'lacking'.

Not even Everton fans think he's that good.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Lucas really was rubbish though. I can't say I thought he could be good but just had bad luck or played in the wrong system or whatever. He really did not look good.

Now he's ace.

Weird.

 

[KidA Seven]

Shinji looks very uncomfortable playing in deep positions. He looks great once again in the final third.


And is it just me or has Nani improved his technique from last season (despite it being really fucking good already)?

 

[Akira]

LOL awkward interview with Diouf on German TV

 

[LanceVance]

Just tuned in, who scored for United?

 

[Kyoufu]

Just tuned in, who scored for United?

Hernandez.

 

[Tc91]

Just tuned in, who scored for United?

Hernandez tap in. But he's been awful so don't expect too much from him.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Who was that Kagawa was talking to?

 

[LanceVance]

Hernandez.

Hernandez tap in. But he's been awful so don't expect too much from him.

Thanks

 

[K1LLER7]

who was subbed?

 

[dc89]

Lol.

I just want to sign someone. Anyone.

Barry 2.0

That will do. Barry is criminally under rated. Pivotal to us last season.

Silva is a midget compared to Yaya.

Lucas is the only player in the premier league I've seen that can actually do that to Yaya. Everyone else just shits it.

Sounds like Milner mk.II. I suppose De Jong won't last much longer at City since his contract is running out soon (or am i mistaken?) and Rodwell would be a decent replacement for him, but really you would expect City to be bringing in a much stronger replacement.

Correct. Last year of contract coming up and he wants near to £100k. The Kia effect.

 

[Kyoufu]

Who was that Kagawa was talking to?

RVP.
