The Burnley players have some of the worst ball handling and technique I've ever seen. And yet they are better than Utd.

What a beautiful post.

Anyone else think Evans might be dropped for Rojo and not Blackett?

Anyone else think Evans might be dropped for Rojo and not Blackett?

Maybe. He has been utterly shocking in the game and a quarter he's player so far, whereas Blackett's looked decent against Swansea and Sunderland. Wouldn't blame LVG for making that decision if Evans can't improve.

 

[DBT85]

Probably DC

Hull boss Steve Bruce confirmed there has been contact between the two clubs and that he has made an undisclosed offer for the England midfielder.

Bruce told Sky Sports News HQ: "There has been conversations between the two clubs and we did have some sort of offer, but where we are up to between the two clubs I am not too sure because I have been away in London.

"If there is a deal to be done to try and get somebody like Tom then of course we would be interested."

Our problem is that each of the players is taking their time on the ball. Teams aren't afraid to get in our face.because our passes turn atrocious when they do. So it's a win win situation for them.

Blackett is actually I don't know awake.

You can't run forward to save our lives

 

[Splatt]

Evans is hopeless when he doesn't have someone on the pitch telling him what to do

You have THE ABSOLUTE BEST winger in the world and you're using him in a wingerless formation

Nice to see some Burnley fans around these parts.

Yep.

 

[Salvadora]

So many long balls

 

[FootballFan]

Brilliant turn and backpass from young. He only had 20metres free ahead.

Problem us we don't have decent midfielders to feed him.

I really can't believe how useless Valencia and Young have become. I mean, this is a newly promoted side, FFS. How the fuck did they deteriorate so much over two to three seasons?

Are they comparing Sean Dyche to Brian Clough

good grief

Aye, can't believe what Sean Dyche has done for us. Top, top manager.

 

[Ravensmash]

The difference between the two wings is staggering.

One consists of Johnny Evans meekly passing it backwards and sideways, the other consists of fast paced attacking balls.

Michael Cox fan, aren't u m8

The role of the shuttler involves great energy. Essentially, it means playing as a central midfielder but then providing width having made sudden diagonal bursts. In this particular position, Di Maria is arguably the world's best and it was particularly useful when he played in the same Real Madrid side as Cristiano Ronaldo, who always made the reverse movement, cutting inside from a wide starting position.

The Argentine is frequently misunderstood and often termed a winger, which suggests he's in the mould of Arjen Robben or Gareth Bale. In reality, at no point in his seven-year European career has Di Maria played in a front three -- he has generally been tucked inside into a deeper, more central position. At Benfica, for example, he excelled on the opposite side of the diamond to Ramires.

For Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho, he played a disciplined, narrow wide role in a 4-2-3-1 to compensate for Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil's attacking positioning; again, almost tucked back into a midfield three alongside Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira. He turns defence into attack, rather than being stationed permanently in attack.

Meanwhile, for Argentina he's been fielded on the left of a midfield three under both Diego Maradona and Alejandro Sabella, although he was pushed wider in a 4-4-1-1 at the recent World Cup.

 

[confuziz]

I doubt Blind is going to fix this United side.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Why are all our players slipping over?

 

[Rhaknar]

is Evra injured?

 

[KidA Seven]

Anyone else think Evans might be dropped for Rojo and not Blackett?

No because he wants his rcb to be right footed, and his lcb to be left footed. Rojo can only take Blackett's place or the central cb.

 

[K1LLER7]

So many aimless long balls.

Haven't seem Fletcher in the game at all.

You don't think he's been good so far? His passing has been sublime. It's just he's surrounded by absolute wank.

Ronaldo is hardly a winger. I don't see him whipping in crosses or bothering with assists

Michael Cox fan, aren't u m8

I stand corrected

you have THE ABSOLUTE BEST tucked inside into a deeper more central position winger and you're using him deep in a 3-5-2.

Ok, even Bale then.....

What say you now, birthday boy?

He should at least have had one assist by now, maybe more, but... Uhm... United. Made a few mistakes too but easily the best United player on the pitch I think.

 

[confuziz]

Blind is going to change this United team into a winning team? Really now?

Forest beating Wednesday at HT if anyone cares

Ferguson was a genius and really is the best manager of all time. He got a United squad worse then this to win the title.
