Annoyed Petrucci isn't getting a shot yet at United. He looked a really exciting player in pre-season.

Our teams exciting as ever. This feels like an NFL transition season in that I know we've got a really young, inexperienced team that will only get better with time.

Only when you finish bottom in the NFL you get #1 draft pick the next season, whereas when you finish bottom in SOCCER you get relegated and get to visit Blackburn on a Friday Night.

 

[JesusTom]

I hope Marveaux is less selfish tonight, always feel like he's trying too hard to get into the first 11

Same. Always looked quality but I fear he's being Pogba'd.

I have a bad feeling about Petrucci. He's missed 18 months of development due to injury. He's 20 now and he may have to leave United if he wants to get games.

I think he'll turn out to be a good player, but I'm not sure he'd get the opportunities at United.

What happened to Leon Andreasen?

didn't see it. I'm watching Bundesliga Simulcast and just saw the Huszti goal.

apparently something with his knee

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Welbeck on the left, Cleverley on the right.

Get ready.

edit: we joke, but Sky have us down as 4-4-2... Fletcher on the right.

I'm getting Atletico flashbacks.

So, maybe:

------Anderson---Clevgod
Fletcher----Rooney-----Welbeck
------------Chicharito

?

Not that bad. But Sky is hardly gospel.

I hope he tears them apart.

But we all know Manure is getting a few penalties tonight.

Scam? Or job offer?

I hope not, but it would make sense to ease Fletcher back via the right wing, as opposed to sticking him in the middle straight away I suppose.

New manager Jeff!

 

[ATF487]

Jeff-In!

 

[Arnie]

When you get the job, Jeff, loan Pacheco.

Football-gaf will assemble tomorrow at the Eurogamer Expo. Cant wait

Agreed. I think the pressure of playing competitive games for a top 4 side is weighing on him a bit. He scored two cracking goals in preseason and set up a couple more.

I'm hoping he picks up form sooner rather than later, otherwise he'll fall down the pecking order and that'll be no good since he is our only real set-piece taker. When we took him off against QPR and pushed Vert to LB and allowed Bale back into he's position it changed our game. A couple more risks like that and I don't think AVB will gamble on him starting too often. I like him alot though so here's to hoping he can prove himself.

 

[Kyoufu]

9 changes.

This should be hilarious.

Hope Tiote goes in hard.

 

[K1LLER7]

Where's Janujaz at these days. Not seen him in the U21's league and he has been moved up from the U18's already.

I read he had an injury. Looks a real prospect, plus he's Belgian(?) which should please Kyoufu.

 

[Lightning]

Go arsenal GO!

 

[WJD]

Think I'm gonna wear my Fletcher shirt to training tomorrow in tribute. Great player.

Fuck off injuries.

Its so good to see Colo back.

I was at the expo on the friday year, had a great time. Wish I'd met up with some GAFers though.

Enjoy football-GAF!

 

[K1LLER7]

Fuck off injuries.

We signed Arsenals medical team.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Great or constant and hardworking?

 

[Hieberrr]

HAMBURRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!! Holy crap, seconds from half time

 

[WJD]

Great or constant and hardworking?

For 2 seasons the former, for the others the latter.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So... They're not broadcasting the Arsenal match?

 

[K1LLER7]

Rooney looks like he's slimmed down a bit.

 

[Plasma]

Only way to listen to the Arsenal game is through Arsenal Player and it is currently silent, great job guys.

EDIT: Up now.

Should be good!

 

[AndresON777]

seriously I want to take a flowbee to welbeck

 

[WJD]

Midfield looking good so far.

plenty of time to revert to type though

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm missing Cabaye/HBA already

 

[JesusTom]

Rooney looks like he's slimmed down a bit.

He definitely needed to!

 

[Lightning]

Can't see or hear the arsenal game? I hate life.

 

[Arnie]

Liverpool's on LoF for those who subscribe. Good chance to see Yesil in action.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Seriously the back post to Williamson routine...

 

[K1LLER7]

De Gea's kicking is class.

 

[JesusTom]

At least Williamson is better at heading this season.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Manchester based Ref seems keen to give us stuff. I'm suspicious.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Sent to Coventry

 

[Clegg]

We're actually playing with three in midfield.

Interesting.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Lol how is that hand to ball

 

[Mr. Luchador]

At least Williamson is better at heading this season.

There's no play to it though, it's just back post to Williamson. No one is reacting for the 2nd ball. It's a horrible hang over from the Andy Carroll/Barton Days.

 

[JesusTom]

Lol how is that hand to ball

I have no idea, got sandwiched.

Great run from Obertan!

 

[Oxx]

Anderson is probably out of juice after that counter.

Anderson is probably out of gravy after that counter.

Fixed.

Agent Obertan: ACTIVATED

 

[Meus Renaissance]

What a chance!

 

[K1LLER7]

Chance, CB's getting beaten easily in the air.
