Well game over. I was expecting a loss at the start, and with Smalling being a cunt so early on I was expecting a spanking so 1-0 I'll take.

Carrick calmed the defence down, Di Maria needs a wake up, Shaw was good, Blind is slow.

City really should have been more comfortable and should have had a pen or two.

How can Di Maria's free kicks from near the corner be so good, but shift the ball 8 yards into the trident, and they become terrible?

Scared of flags.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

And with a far easier opening set of fixtures, too

The loss of Vidic hit us bad.

But this performance against City is better than anything we put out against them last season. With 10 men.

Team showing more steel than we did under Moyes.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Man Utd will spend £30m+ in January if they're not top 4 by then.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

End in the end we needed more quality in attack, City were there for the taking for the final 10 minutes or so.

 

[inky]

It all started when they stopped playing him in midfield.

Right. When Herrera got injured, who has been sorely missed as well.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Some positives bit my god we are nowhere near where we need to be. Di Maria's corners were awful, we could have nicked a point.

No idea who will play in defence next game.

 

[massivekettle]

ManUtd is so shit this year despite the £150m spending spree.

Can't believe people aren't on Van Gaal like they were on Moyes last year.

 

[Vivalaraza]

So disappointed.

Van Gaal will build a good team here though, feel confident about that after the last two games.

We need to win 3 or 4 in a row now. Results just are not good enough.

Quoting for new page.

 

[Arnie]

:lol we're still fucking above United and Everton.

How I don't know.

 

[K1LLER7]

Go back to the diamond.

Get Falcao and Herrera back in the team.

Hope Rojo isn't out for the next game and play McNair at CB.


2 of the toughest games out the way. Team looking better. Now go on a run.

 

[Jarnet87]

Haha Blackett what? Have you not seen him play?

Yes he is very raw and has made mistakes but he can improve. Are Jones, Smalling, Evans ever going to get better or injury free? No.

Rooney does one good thing all game and then goes all Danny Welbeck with his finishing. How anyone can still call him world class is laughable.

 

[Facism]

It's all about eredivision reserve league. It's such a safe money maker every time for +2.5 goals for just every match.

show me your ways, oh wooden one.

 

[KidA Seven]

:lol we're still fucking above United and Everton.

How I don't know.

Please Costa, fuck them hard with your 40 year old cock.

 

[L1NETT]

ManUtd is so shit this year despite the £150m spending spree.

yeah it's almost like boat loads of new players, a brand new coach and a brand new system takes time to bed in

weird that

 

[confuziz]

United has as many points as Newcastle

let that sink in

 

[Wilbur]

And with a far easier opening set of fixtures, too

The difference being that I feel we're moving towards something instead of trying and failing to maintain a standard based on 'tradition'.

Played better today than we did in both derby games last season. Didn't play particularly well, but our passing and movement is just better.

Still only four points off fourth. I'm not unduly worried yet. Need to start picking up wins of course, but the same has to be said of yourselves and Arsenal (a 3-0 home win against Burnley masking a poor season so far in the short term).

 

[Vivalaraza]

Man Utd will spend £30m+ in January if they're not top 4 by then.

We will spend regardless IMO.

 

[Empty]

city were there for the taking and a few sloppy performances and one braindead one lost us it.

fellaini our best player again. really like him in the brenton diamond.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Poor game from two quite poor teams (so far this season).

Utd don't look like they had £150m+ spent on them.

 

[Arnie]

Please Costa, fuck them hard with your 40 year old cock.

:lol

Those tears.

Go give Horse a cuddle. He needs one too.

 

[K1LLER7]

Man Utd will spend £30m+ in January if they're not top 4 by then.

I think we'll finish top 4.

Just need to get a good CB. Rojo is the only decent one.

 

[Meier]

Fair play to City but Chelsea will trot home with the league this season.

Thought that'd be the case and obviously the first 10 games or so has driven that point home. They're a step above -- if we can stay within a game or two though, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll drop some points here and there.

Gotta get the guys shooting again though. They all seem scared other than Sergio.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Quoting for new page.

Agreed on all points.

Carrick looked decent... Glad to have him back.

 

[dc89]

Well played United Bros. I think that was a very good effort all things considered.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Just a bizarre match really.

Loss isn't good enough though.

 

[Bold One]

 

[Broder Salsa]

The difference being that I feel we're moving towards something instead of trying and failing to maintain a standard based on 'tradition'.

You should feel like that considering the amount of money spent. How many players did Moyes get again? Woodwards showed to have the negotiations skills of a FM beginner and failed everything except Fellani right at the end.

show me your ways, oh wooden one.

I just told you the way. It's that easy. DC does it too lol

 

[Ashes]

ManUtd is so shit this year despite the £150m spending spree.

Can't believe people aren't on Van Gaal like they were on Moyes last year.

Results are nigh dead on, but the difference in how we played against Chelsea and city now is worlds apart.

The injuries are just killing us this year.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Poor game from two quite poor teams (so far this season).

Utd don't look like they had £150m+ spent on them.

We should have spent less money amirite.

 

[bud]

i'm dying.

No disagreements there. You guys moved the ball around much more efficiently than at any time under the Moyes era. There's actually purpose in how United play under Van Gaal. It's organized and much higher tempo.

All the teams that want in the top 4 need to improve drastically. I'm sure United will invest in January, Arsenal probably won't because they're Arsenal, but I think Liverpool could really benefit from a player or two in the winter window, more so than the other teams.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

The loss of Vidic hit us bad.

Vidic is dead now. McNair Thorpe is the future. Pls.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

:lol we're still fucking above United and Everton.

How I don't know.

Mediocrity near the top. Ourselves, Man Utd, City and Everton are nowhere near as good as we should be. I'd include Arsenal in there as well if they didn't have Sanchez

 

[Wilbur]

Poor game from two quite poor teams (so far this season).

Utd don't look like they had £150m+ spent on them.

Bear in mind two of our signings didn't play today and one got injured halfway through the match.

Another new back four today as well. Not making excuses but that is mad. Started with a new one, finished with another new one. We know how important settled back fours are and we haven't had the chance to do that at all.

Need a leader at the back, and need to avoid injuries and senseless sendings off.

 

[miserable]

Man Utd will spend £30m+ in January if they're not top 4 by then.

Welcome to Manchester, Sami Khedira

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

:lol

Those tears.

Go give Horse a cuddle. He needs one too.

We just lost to City at the Etihad with 10 men by 1-0.

You just lost to Newcastle.

Newcastle.

Who needs a cuddle here bb? Be honest now.

 

[Ashes]

Loss isn't good enough though.

Seems a bit redundant. Why would a loss be good enough? Who would think this?

Felt like we deserved something after city lost the balls for the last fifteen minutes though.

I've said all along we will be gashand finding our way until Xmas before we kick on and I still believe that. The signs are there, we are getting better, but we need a strong centre back at least. And our injured players back.

 

[Arnie]

Bless.

Calma, young stallion. You're improving slowly but surely. I believe in LVG. 2019 is your year.

 

[Elchele]

Gladbach vs Hoffenheim is where it's at

Newcastle are better than City at the moment

dem facts cannot be denied

Newcastle.

I do. I want it after we get shamed by A. Villa. :-(

 

[Ashes]

Welcome to Manchester, Sami Khedira

He isn't a defender.

We finished with Carrick, McNair and Valencia.

 

[LegoArmo]

United played a lot more like a team than they ever did under Moyes. Smalling fucked his team-mates over.

 

[Ushojax]

Capoue starting

-_-

Soldado starting

0_o

If we don't win Poch is going to look very foolish.

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Should be able to win every match from now until the next derby match, I'm not worried

 

[Jarnet87]

Vidic is dead now. McNair Thorpe is the future. Pls.

McNair Carrick is the immediate future. Jones still hurt, who the fuck knows whats going on with Evans. We all knew Carrick would be playing CB at some point, only took 3 months for it to happen and United had 1 midweek fixture so it's not like they can blame champions league games for injuries lol.

 

[Esch]

 

[Ashes]

United played a lot more like a team than they ever did under Moyes. Smalling fucked his team-mates over.

Pretty much.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Liv/United conversations are tragic.

We used to laugh at this kind of desperation. Furiously scrummaging for some pride.

Feels bad man
