Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I don't agree with us not giving players chances. We do that as much as anyone! Its the fans who are a bit inpatient who expect SAF to play them from the off. We knew how good Pique, Rossi were but these players wanted first team football and neither off them are as good as Rooney or Vidic for example. We also had Evans a CB coming through whose rated just as highly as Pique and we also have Strikers like Welbeck and Macheda coming through who at the moment are willing to sit on the bench.

Exactly what i thought.

I said the exact same thing weeks ago, when every1 in this forum was criticising Nani for being bad and decent at best, turns out that now he is the best choice among ManUs roster.
The exact same thing will be applied to Tosic.

Nani was great in his first season, then pretty bad in the next one. It was a confidence thing, but he still had loads of potential. He also made it to the team as soon as he arrived which shows that SAF believed in him right away.

Tosic has yet to impress. If he were a bit faster he could have a chance of making it in the Premiership, despite his small size. I don't think it will happen for him however.

You can't compare the two really.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

But he hasnt even been with us for long so you cant say he'll never get a chance or that he should move on. Last year doesnt count cuz we had Ronaldo as well. But if he hasnt played much by the end of this season, even then I'd say the issue is debatable.
I can see where you might be coming from when you look back to people like Pique and Rossi but both of their positions had world class players. For the first time in about 5 years, we no longer have a winger on the same level of quality that we have in our forwards or defence. So IMO, Tosic has every chance in the world to make it.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He'll get his chance in the Carling Cup along with our hopeful "Golden Generation Mk2"
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

CSKA Moscow, Besiktas and Wolfsburg hmmm I like the look of that stage, however I think Wolfsburg are the dark horses!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Gutted, Wanted Real but we should qualify as group winners from that.

I'd have that attitude if we had Ronaldo in the team, now with this team I'm not so sure...

I do but I'm playing it cautious and giving respect to the teams especially Wolfsburg, I mean how the fuck do the German Champions end up in Pot 4 of the CL draw? Whereas Rune is basically coming over all saying ah its fucking easy, we'll beat them and I'll book my flights n hotel to Madrid next year.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Because they haven't played in Europe in the past 5 years so they've got low points, that's why all the English teams were top seeds and Rangers were second seeds for example and Milan were 1st seeds rather than Inter and Sevilla rather than Real Madrid as they have all done well in Europe recently.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

:LOL: I was just playin', I know there are no easy games in this competition.
To be honest, even then our biggest problem will be complacency. And the other worry will be that our opposition have enough quality to take that and use it to their advantage.
But on our day (it doesnt even have to be our best day), we should be beating all 3 teams comfortably.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Goals. I know! I know! We just scored 5 the other day but in these type of games its going to be even tighter. When we had Ronaldo in the side we got a fair few 1-0 (or 2-0 after the breakthrough) in Europe that was down to that extra bit of magic/fire power Ronaldo brought. Im confident our defence can keep anyone out but we'll need to find that spark from somewhere else.

EDIT: Ljajic played for Partizan last night in the 2nd leg of their Europa Cup game, They won 2-0 . Heres his performance from the first leg first half

YouTube - Adem Ljajić vs MÅ*K Žilina 1.

2nd Half

YouTube - Adem Ljajić vs MÅ*K Žilina 2.

Heres another I thought I'd just randomly throw in

YouTube - Adem Ljajić vs Sevojno.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

After watching those two videos of Adem Ljajic...Here are the things,I've noticed.

1.Good dribbler but lacked composure.
2.Takes setpieces for Partizan,obviously he is good at it for someone so young.
3.End product was somewhat lacking but that will improve.
4.His dribbles reminds me of Kaka and Ronaldo at the same time.
5.He switches flanks a lot too but seems more right footed.

Thats all...he could be useful for us but we currently have Nani,Park and Tosic whom can do all thats mentioned above.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

But Ljajic is 17, 5 years younger than Nani. If he can do what some of those player you mentioned can do, I'm sure he'll eventually be a lot better by the time he reaches 22. And even then he's still about 7 years off his peak.

Exactly, for a 17 year old he looks very promising, I can see a few years of moans and groans along with a moment of genius but I really think hes a star in the making.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I really don't see him being that promising, he just looks like your average 17 year old.

Or maybe I'm just comparing him to Ronnie who tore us apart at near enough the same age.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah he seems to run into trouble alot and misplace easy passes but obviously he's only young, the second half performance was better than the first too, he was doing the simple stuff better.

The little flick over the guys head at the touchline in the first half was class :APPLAUD:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Can't judge a player til he's with us. With him, Hargreaves and that Norwegian fella all likely to 'arrive' in January, will be a packed reserve team for a while!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

To be fair Ronaldo's passing was just as bad when he first arrived, He's 6'0 and only 17 so He'll be fairly big lad like Ronaldo. His dribbling ability probably not on that level but Ronaldo's dribbling at 17 probably was better than it is now by a fair distance. He may not be as flashy as a young Ronaldo but I do think he's got the potential to be a top player for us.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

For fucks sake!

What is Fergie playing at!?

Someone tell him going like for like doesn't fucking work, especially if you have to play Giggs!

(this post came just after the goal).

You'd expect Giggs to be caught out and slow because he's a pensioner, but Carrick has been lax and lazy this season, and for some portions of last as well, he needs to perk himself up a bit and take a leaf out of Fletch's book.

Also Fletch is damn lucky cause that was a penalty, no doubt about it.

Anyhoo

Arsenal fans tell me about RVP's performance

The argument for Ade's sale was based on this game last season
