One of the best tap ins I've ever seen

A bit late but what the hell
He has worked for Leverkusen for like his whole life.
That means he's probably lived in Cologne most of his life. Wouldn't be surprised if he has friends at Viktoria or is even fond of the club.

such a change in transformation from the end of the 12/13 season to where he is now. And to think we were going to let him go on loan again, lol.

I did decent also, 34 pts with Lovren, Luis, Cesc, Sterling and Dzeko still to play.
I'm confident Ramsey injury free this season will have a bigger impact than Sterling. He's already scored two goals in our first two games. But we'll see.
I like me a good tap in.

These guys are gonna be amazing this season
Also, this looks great, too bad he's going to Athletic Mailand:

time for them to life a trophy besides the super cup
Wouldn't shock me tbh. Still worried about the defence though.

Amazing save by Patricio.
Ramsey will be injury free?
I'm hoping he will be, no one can be certain of it.

Mkhitaryan won as many league titles as Schweinsteiger and is 5 years younger.
After this season, Micky will have more than Schweine. #EchteLiebe
ha, I skipped like the 8 pages that happened after my last post and just ended up in this one with your answer. Actually, I hope we sign Höwedes, it would actually make sense after all the illogical signings we have made since Pep took over.
okay. have fun m8

His injury derailed Arsenal last year. So I hope he is.
If Sanchez, Ramsey, Ozil, Santi and defense can stay fit, Arsenal can have a good season.
Of course for all that, Arsene has to ROTATE shit.

If he does stay injury-free, then I can definitely see him having a better season than last season. And last season was brilliant for him!

Just seen the news about Barkley, that's really unfortunate for him.
And I have no idea why I didn't put Ramsey in my FF team.

You do have a new fitness coach.
Yeah, shame for Barkley; this is a big season for him.

Was at the match at OT today. Felt exactly like it did under Moyes. United don't have the players that fit into LVGs 3 - 5 - 2 system. Take Young for example. Here is a map of his passes for the match:
90% of those are passes he received from Blackett, where he took one touch and then immediately passed the ball back to Blackett. Not once did he try and take on the Swansea right back. Not once did he create any sort of chance. He's an absolute waste of space. I thought the back 3 did okay today, apart from the total loss of concentration for the second goal. But then again, Swansea sat back for most of the match and hardly troubled the defence, so against a more attacking team who knows how they would have done.
Midfield was shite, watching from the stands, the only player to make any sort of movement to find free space was Herrera. Fletcher played like he was a fucking tree rooted in the middle of the pitch, and Mata was non existent. Upfront Rooney did okay, took his goal well. Hernandez was poor, don't think he really fits into the team, wouldn't mind him moving on. Janujaz was bright for most of the match when he came on. Did a lot more down the wing than shitty Young. But then again, he was poor defensively and hardly tracked back, so I don't think he fits the wing back role.
Ultimately we need a ball playing defender, a box-to-box cm and another wingback. In reality we'll maybe get a defender and thats it.

Watching what I missed earlier today
Turns out we were really poor for most of the first half

cartoon_soldier is a United fan but his point is correct, his injury coincided with our collapse. And you're right we do have a new fitness coach Shad Forsythe, I'm hoping he can have significant impact on player injuries.
We need to go all out for Vidal or we are screwed, teams will just sit back and counterWas at the match at OT today. Felt exactly like it did under Moyes. United don't have the players that fit into LVGs 3 - 5 - 2 system. Take Young for example. Here is a map of his passes for the match:

I'm honestly beginning to see Lightning's hype for him. He'll obviously make some mistakes and has some learning to do, but I think he's the real deal. Southampton have a serious eye for talent.

We should but we won't. In all likelihood we'll probably sign McCarthy for £30 mill on deadline day.

Sure, he has looked good. But come on - today's game was against Crystal Palace, not bloody Chelsea or something. And he played well against City, but City were shit on the day. Will be much much stronger in the league.
That is two games. At least wait until he's played a whole season at CB (which he won't imo)

It wasn't a back 3 for the whole match. At half time, Young went to lb and Jones went to rb. We played with wingers in Nani and Januzaj.
The fact that James didn't come in for Lingard says it all about his chances. Same for Cleverley. He didn't even make the bench over Fellaini.
The important thing for him is the experience though. He obviously isn't going to play every week but isn't it reassuring that if say Merte or Kos go down Chambers can do a job? I'm not saying he's the next Hummels but last season whenever Vermaelen was on the pitch most Arsenal fans were just waiting for the mistake to come. I don't have that feeling with Chambers and the way he handles himself on the pitch, confidence he has, the potential is huge with him and he will only get better,
I've never said he's a Kos or Merte NOW, I said he has potential to push them and IMO will be a top top player. Our defensive stability is already better now because I would rather have Chambers playing than Vermaelen,

We need Vidal, Cuadrado, Benatia, Blind, and Di Maria. Lawd help us, we won't even get one. Said the same thing about Young, he looked slow, timid, utterly useless on the left. In preseason he looked much better and more confident workinng on the right, unfortunately we've got an abundance of players who can work that side. Fletcher is what he is, a serviceable midfielder who can contribute when we are coasting.
