Soldado really earned this start after his incredible performance against Brighton...
Going to play the Left Behind dlc.
Will do m8
Rojo did well. His best trait is his composure on the ball. Needs a better partner though. McNair isn't ready (lost Aguero for the goal), but he'll have to do for now.
Agreed on this.
It's games like the Leicester one, the Burnley one, the West Brom one, where I'm going to look back at the end of the season and think "fuck, points we should have won". That's seven right there.
Not to play "if my auntie had bollocks", but the Leicester game was genuinely mad. Should have won it, I can't believe we didn't. Burnley and WBA, we wasted huge opportunities.
We haven't been good enough, and we're extremely lucky that Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Liverpool have been equally as poor.
She was just posting here during the game.
why are you fucking with me m8, looks nothing like her

BTW what exactly is the rule regarding blocking a GK's kick.
That first booking Smalling got...as stupid as it was...I was watching it thinking - well, what's he really doing wrong here. He's blocking a path and the ball hasn't gone dead. It seems kind of weird you can't do that...
Maybe I just need a biscuit. Got them Sports ones. 50p from Asda. Decent.

If you take those two's opinions as anything other than meaningless shite, lock yourself in a room and never interact with anybody ever again
Posted during the game I think.

I hope Arsenal hire Moyes. You absolutely adore the man.

So basically - it's as shit as last year but we all feel a bit better about it.
I don't exactly disagree but the scales are still firmly tipped towards unhappiness for me.
There's no aspect of it I would "take".
Thankfully I'm quite sure LVG agrees.

What the fuck does Kane have to do for PL minutes? :s
I want Wisdom to replace Skrtel at CB, I think he will do anyway next season so we're just doing it half a season early in my book.
Throw money at Lille to get Origi.
We'll probably replace Mignolet in the summer, it'll be a shame but it doesn't seem to be working for us.
I just think that when you hire a man to do a job, he should be given enough time to do said job.
Calm down sweetheart.

Not sure what to make of him really. Far too rash for my liking. Luiz/Koscielny/Lovren-like. His distribution and composure is nice, but he has no idea what he's doing sometimes.
The situation where he got injured could have been so easily avoided if he hadn't slid in like a maniac.
Yet another game that was already decided due to injuries before a ball was even kicked, it's getting beyond boring how every single game United have played this season they've had significantly more players injured than the team they're playing, it's the simple difference between winning and losing.

Of course it doesn't. It's an owl my friend.
Switch to 4-4-2 and still no 'Arry.
Come join the RoKo revolution baby. You can back up the Pelle Pelle.

Next 5 games

ARS (A)

We have to win 4 of these games. All 3 at home and either away at Arsenal or Saints.
No more excuses now. 10 games to bed in or whatever and all that shit. Now let's do something with it.

I'd agree based on the circumstances.
For instance, like I said earlier, van Gaal has got us playing with more purpose and composure than we ever did under Moyes. Valencia is playing better, Fellaini is playing better, Rafael is playing better. Our players are clearly learning something from his coaching.
The only players who I think played well last season - not in terms of stat padding cunts like Rooney - were Januzaj and De Gea. And eventually Moyes changed Adnan's play to something less effective, and De Gea has kept his standards up.
there was no progress or visual end game. Just trying to maintain something that was successful because our manager was Alex Ferguson.
That's it, Bungie. Keep it up. Let him have it. #DefoeJinx
Pelle and Tadic are going to destroy you and you know it.

Dislocated shoulder for Rojo
what the fuck man
WHAT THE FUCK
what the fuck man
WHAT THE FUCK
Not the point I was making. There is confidence in the team and amongst supporters that it will get better, youre making it sound like the Etihad is a happy hunting ground.
When you take into consideration all our injuries, it becomes clear that it is the difference between loosing and winning
We played better against city with 10 men than we did all last season is the point I am making, not saying you can't be unhappy, I'm not happy either.
Yeah, time to give Wenger more time.
Agreed. Need at least 11 points from that. Two draws from the away games or at least a win.

We need Origi regardless, even if Sturridge comes back firing he'll get injured again, and Balotelli is an incompetent goon when he's up front on his own. Barely worth talking about Lambert and Borini.
Wisdom has never played CB since leaving our reserves I think, for Derby, West Brom, or us. We should have played him there in preseason, and had him replace Toure if he was good there in hindsight. Would probably have got enough minutes between RB and CB this season if we'd done that. As things stand, he's at West Brom getting experience in a position we don't really need him in, and just hoping that he can shift back to CB at some point. I'm quite hopeful, he has the attributes to play there.
Hopefully he can avoid the injuries that destroyed Kelly's chances of becoming our centreback, a few year's ago he was well on track to becoming a defensive mainstay for us
We need to improve on Mignolet for a keeper who does what we need a keeper to do. Deal with crosses to a good standard, and be comfortable with a starting position closer to the edge of the box than his line, so we can play a higher defensive line. I'd be happy enough with Mig being second choice, but I doubt he would.

I think you guys are underestimating Southampton and Arsenal.
Rojo has dislocated his shoulder. Probably won't play.

Yeah it looked like it.
I'm not one for luck, but we have been unlucky. Things will improve.

Normally 6 weeks for a dislocated shoulder I think, should make it with the international break in between

It's not about underestimating.
We need to be good enough to go and win there. That's the level we need to be at. Neither team is so good that it's something you can't expect. We're not going to be playing against a Bayern Munich.
Doesn't sound like Rojo is playing any football anytime soon.
It's a while a way yet mate, he should be fit in time. Wouldn't blame him for ducking it though.
