I'm enjoying the added directness Januzaj and Herrra have added to the middle of the park, even if it has come to nothing.
 
Utd are playing so bad, lol

The Moyes curse still lives on

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
United were gash, if the ref weren't a coward they'd have lost.

1 win in 4 games.

Shit performance. Falcao again gets pulled instead of RVP. It took Ancelotti half a season to get rid of his shit diamond, it's about time Gaal wakes up and gets rid of the shit 3 man back line.

What a shit performance.

Don't deserve anything from that game.

Gaal stupid for taking Falcao off when RVP and Rooney did fuck all in the game.

He really needs to scrap this 3 at the back and go back the diamond.

If we're gonna play wingball at least have a fullback and a winger supporting each other. We never get behind them and our wingbacks are too scared to take the defenders on with no support behind them in the fear they will lose it.
 
We suck away from home and I can't stand the back 5. It just makes our attack reliant on wingbacks and we have no proper wingbacks. We don't even really have good wingers. They all operate better slightly deeper or centrally.

Shit performance, should've lost. Hopefully Southampton and Arsenal draw or we'll have one of them breathing down our necks.

It's a good job I have nee cunting games to play on it because the Wii U is probably going to take all day to update.

Rafael is willing to attack defenders and overlap, but he is the only one. Shaw still finding his feet. Plus our wingers are shit.

This pain, I know it well. So, so well.

Rafa can beat a man but cant cross

Just lacking ideas, we tried to play our normal football in bad conditions and, like last year, completely failed at it, there was no plan B.

Meh, least we didnt lose, good run of games coming up with two home and away at QPR.

"playing" dumb? unpossible
It wouldn't have been a last corner because the match would have been prolonged for 6 minutes
Haha good old Fergie Time. That final season where RVP and Co kept drawing and or winning in the last minutes....

I miss those days.

Poor Januzaj. He needs to get out on loan, he has no confidence. Our biggest star last year cant even play a easy pass.

Jones defending on that corner to give up the goal was absurd. Evans lucky it was Diouf who took it from him, any half decent striker would have buried that chance. You'd think just on how shit out CBs are Lewis would want to play with less of them not more.
