Dat LMJ!!

 

[Tim the Wiz]

We would have probably killed the game in the first half with same team and Rooney or Chicharito or Kagawa central instead of Welbeck.

.

 

[Yurt]

Wow absolutely terrible by Lich

 

[K1LLER7]

He made himself a nuisance drawing fouls and keeping the ball, but he didn't do anything threatening (unless it was him who set up RVP for the back heel). Suppose that wasn't needed at the time though.

Let's stop ripping into Danny, guys. He's fucking brilliant outside the box, let's play him as a defensive midfielder.

Gave the ball away way too much IMO. Wasted so many chances too. Not sure if he should play as a 10.

 

[LTWheels]

Can't believe Sterling is getting away with his performance today. Absolutely dreadful

Ideally he should not be starting, he's very young and still developing. Now with Sturridge and Borini back from injury we have enough players so he does not have to start.

 

[L1NETT]

Sterling may have played too many games in quite a short space of time. Soft excuse I know, but the kid has played a lot of games.

Allen on the other hand, does not deserve a starting space.

 

[PowderedToast]

Can't believe Sterling is getting away with his performance today. Absolutely dreadful

i think he was only ever consistently first team through squad circumstance. i imagine borini will start the bulk of games now he's back from injury

 

[Salazar]

Wisdom done alright. Downing was largely pants.

 

[sohois]

Can't believe Sterling is getting away with his performance today. Absolutely dreadful

Getting away? What do you think should happen?

Yeah he was poor, but so were several other players and with Stirling one has to take into account his age.

 

[Wilbur]

Irregardless of quality, critics will say it's fantastic. Like Warhorse.

So every single review is a fabricated one? Like, they've gone and written a review that isn't reflective of their actual opinion?

I can't believe Avatar has 80 odd percent on RT, but it does. I don't think critics are faking their opinions though.

18 years old man.

Also Rafael was once more immense both in defense and going forwards. Sadly he switched off and didnt track Sturridge but for 89 mins he was class. I love you Rafa.

Yeah, he really was great. Evra was fantastic as well today, he's really improved this season.

Don't think anyone will disagree with that

Allen is actually progressing the way Downing did


@Wilbury, I think critics go into certain things looking for things to like about it, and the opposite for other things. That applies to games and books as well, particularly games

 

[Yurt]

United we'll take Welbeck

Or Bebe

 

[KidA Seven]

Rafa proving he's the best RB in the league. Let's see how Zab responds.

 

[kharma45]

United we'll take Welbeck

Or Bebe

we can offer macheda and bebe in exchange for le Pog...

 

[Wilbur]

United we'll take Welbeck

Or Bebe

Swap them both for Pogba and Vidal

 

[Timurid]

United we'll take Welbeck

Or Bebe

Take meggiorini and give us Vidal!

Yeah, he really was great. Evra was fantastic as well today, he's really improved this season.

He isn't suggesting critics are going to lie.

 

[dc89]

Would I be late in saying Wenger and Gazidis have reassured police there's no chance of it being a trophy?

 

[L1NETT]

Oh and Andre Wisdom...another Bradford youth player

Got George Green (Everton), Cleverly and Wisdom. We churn 'em out.

 

[The Atticus]

Lol

Nah, he's still doing a lot better than that, just been overplayed. I'd say the more apt comparison would be Enrique.

Rafa proving he's the best RB in the league. Let's see how Zab responds.

After his mistake for the goal?

 

[Hixx]

Lol

Don't be that guy.

I'm that guy, go away.

 

[K1LLER7]

Bebe stays. He'll be a star at United.

 

[3Sixty]

Wow, lots of responses.

I was just surprised people were tearing into Allen and not mentioned Sterling at all. Hopefully he will get more rest now Sturridge and Borini are fit but who knows.

 

[Gareth Bale]

For Ferguson it's a point of principle to play players who "get" this game. He's gone on record saying that and his selections always reflect it.

It's not like that stopped him from starting Kagawa though.

 

[Timurid]

Is it me or does this Wynalda guy hates arsenal?

 

[Yen]

Lol

I'm on my phone, and I have the flu, I don't give a fuck.

 

[Labadal]

Can't believe Sterling is getting away with his performance today. Absolutely dreadful

He's "getting away" with it because so many other players were poor. Wisdom had no ball control and poor passing. Johnson's poor marking on the free kick and was owned by Rafael. Downing was invisible most of the game. Lucas, Allen and Gerrard didn't have a great game. Gerrard looked better in the second half. Sterling was as invisible as Downing.

He isn't suggesting critics are going to lie.

But if its a bad film, like irredeemably bad in everyone's eyes, then they're not going to praise it.

Otherwise they just hold the opinion it is good, much like you have the opinion its shit. Using the example of Avatar again, I thought it was atrocious. Yet 85% of film critics thought it was good, and you'll find a bunch of people in real life who also think it was good. I don't think necessarily they went to go see that film with a score/review/opinion already in their head.

 

[Zabojnik]

Lazio only 3 points behind. At least we're making the scudetto battle more interesting.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Good game I guess, terrible second half by United.

Sturridge & Suarez always looked dangerous.

 

[Vivalaraza]

It's not like that stopped him from starting Kagawa though.

Not saying he will only pick those players.

But his teams will always include players who have what edge. IMO it's a factor in his selection. And may well be why he played ahead of Hernandez (as well as physical attributes for this type of match).

 

[Yurt]

3 points between us and Lazio!

All our problems is in the final third. We suck at crossing and everything strikers related.

 

[The Atticus]

I'm on my phone, and I have the flu, I don't give a fuck.

To be honest I don't know the correct meaning of that word.

Sorry about the flu though

 

[Vivalaraza]

Garcia and Barry.

Lol.

 

[K1LLER7]

Garcia and Barry.

Lol.

Barry to score.

Newcastle agree a fee for Remy? Enjoy Kyoufoo

 

[Yen]

Well thanks for pointing out my misuse of a word. lol

 

[Cuddler]

And it begins...again...like last year...loosing a lot of points...

 

[Milchmonster]

In a few minutes, it's Nuri time. Let's see how that bitch fits in

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Apart from one good clearance, Jones looked utterly pointless again today. At the moment he's shit on the ball and lazy off it. Boy needs to sort it out.

 

[3Sixty]

Fancy Theo to bag a brace today.

2-2

 

[Wilbur]

Apart from one good clearance, Jones looked utterly pointless again today. At the moment he's shit on the ball and lazy off it. Boy needs to sort it out.

He was only on for 15 minutes to be fair to him, and playing in what isn't his favoured position.

 

[GorillaJu]

I thought Evra was MOTM personally. He had a good game. Welbeck as well, though his gaffes were entertaining.

Second half was a good game of football – shame we didn't show up for the first.

And it's about time Hendo started playing every game over Allen.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Not sure he's lazy off it. His job was to follow Suarez, he did that.

Agree he needs to do alot better though.

Welbeck needs to up his game. He's a great outlet and holds the ball well but he is not clinical enough in terms of scoring or creating chances. Kagawa and him should have played each others roles today.

For me it was Rafael for MOTM.

 

[Kyoufu]

I thought Allen was supposed to be amazing?

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

He was only on for 15 minutes to be fair to him, and playing in what isn't his favoured position.

Which is?

I think his best position is right back but Rafael is better there. He needs to work hard if he's going to be a consistent first team player. Word is the coaching staff aren't convinced of him at CB. That leaves midfield and he's not looked good there at all for us.

For the first 45 Carrick was on song, was a brilliant performance from him.

Overall I'm not sure, you may be right with Evra although he was still quite complacent at the back.

Allen was woeful in that first 45. Seriously shocking.

 

[Wilbur]

Welbeck needs to up his game. He's a great outlet and holds the ball well but he is not clinical enough in terms of scoring or creating chances. Kagawa and him should have played each others roles today.

Yeah, I completely agree. Fergie needs to look at that and experiment with it, Kagawa would have had a field day with the space afforded to Welbeck in the first half.
