Even worse, carrick has zero ON the ball movement. Too many times he just stood there with the ball at his feet
Scholes came on with Nani who replaced Welbeck on the left and Welbeck moved to the center. That changed the shape of our team and changed our attack. Apart from that one through pass to RvP, Scholes did fuck all and had no sense of urgency at all. He was literally walking from the midfield to Southampton's penalty area when we were attacking, FFS.
If he is to blame for today's Gustavo, then he was already worth it.
Me too. Next time.
Müller is the player that most embodies Bayern.
lol, so true. I still like him, though. He just needs his ass kicked from time to time.
Yes, dammit. I wanna see them continue. The inevitable disappointment of Brazil 2014 is not worth the effort.

Don't get why people are saying there shouldn't have been 4 minutes. There were two goals and six substitutions, pretty obvious 4 minutes. Not that it mattered because RVP scored before the 4th minute anyway
Doesn't look good then. Hopefully he plays it safe, or gets benched. Doesn't look likely with his play ATM.
Take Hazzard out of Chelsea and they have no goals? I think he assisted or scored in all of them.
Meaningless facts are meaningless
The Javi-effect.
took us some time against fürth too until we started to crash them. same today. maybe we need some warming up right now. i mean, its just the beginning of the season anyway.

Oh please, even you guys struggled against Southhampton. Take Hazard out of Chelsea and those cracks start getting bigger and bigger and those 5 assists and one goal go out the window.
We were shit today, yes, but 3 points is 3 points. RVP saved our ass.

Well yes, it is pointless.
He's a striker and he was brought in to score goals. A more suitable criticism would be if he had only contributed a very small percentage of United's goals along the season.
without goals from man utd players man utd would not win......ok
he was brought into score goals and he's doing his job (latching on to crosses and taking chances looney and welbeck would've missed last season). Stats like that are uselss
good, he wasted so many good chances vs barca, we should have been up 4-1 @ HT
But you said Ozil was better than Zidane, what happened?
Agreed. He's been like that for at least a season or two now. If his passes lack accuracy and vision (like today) then he becomes absolutely useless in midfield.
I shall watch it with great interest. Modric looked great in his cameo against Barcelona, it might depress me a bit but I love watching him play.

Just realized that Anderson wasn't even on the bench - I think we really missed a trick not picking up Dembele. Either would've displayed the right movement against that kind of pressure in midfield, except the latter isn't perma-crocked/unfit and can actually last 90 minutes.
Ripper goal. Good game today. Dissapointed we didnt get the win but you lot came back well.

Seba with his second and Juve's fourth. Sorry, Udinese.
Please find that quote where I said that.

Ozil-Higuaín and Modric-Benzema will be the duos we'll be seeing this season, I guess.
I put a bet on Juve to win with 2 or more goals. Too bad other teams failed me :'(
I still can't get over how weird this looks
dat traitor!
Didn't realize this too. Powell was on the bench though. Strange.
Yeah Dembele would've been good, our midfield is too often static.
At least Anderson does try to move forward, and Cleverly does when he can but Carrick, as good a passer as he is, doesn't have the pace or drive that we need :\
RVP is a United player now and if some fans have a problem with him scoring goals, then you'll just have to deal with it.
Southhampton did good in marking the hell outta Kagawa and Cleverly and with Carrick being shit, no attack went through the center leaving our wings.
Welbeck on the wing never works with all our attack going through Valencia in the 1st half.
Clearly I hope that first Fergie learned, only wingers should play on the wing and second our midfield and defence needs to improve as well and play with more urgency earlier on.
Really hope both Kagawa and Cleverly work on how to be able to manage man-markers.

He saw the keeper move the way he was going to hit it and must have tried to chance angle at the last minute.
I feel bad for Guidolin. A classy man and a brilliant manager.
Just a poor physical condition right now.Ozil will be a key player this season.
just quoting it because its awesome
