Manchester United Thread

Totally deliberate this, slows down when he realises he can't get the ball, then follows through. Hate this so much, De Gea is completely defenseless.

For a big man like Skrtl, it's so cowardly. If I were Valencia I would have ended Skrtl, take the ban on the chin.

On the Left side Sterling is valued at £50m , on the right he's (plank) £3m. He needs to play next to Coutinho and stop throwing balls in lol.
I over heard a Pool fan says 'Suarez is gone and why are we playing like he hasn't left?!' The most influential player in the squad is Coutinho imo . I say build around him.

You have to watch this delude bloke! :LMAO:

Great to see a win against Liverpool at Anfield. Hopefully this will build-up for the next matches against City, Chelsea and Arsenal. Kinda sad to have the International Break in between. Hope none of the boys will come back injured and this break won't make us lose the concentration and teamwork we've had so far.

This x1000.

International breaks are bloody stupid, and will someday make way more a sensible solution, such as doing qualifying in batches over a Christmas break or the summer.

Continually interrupting domestic leagues is crazy. Especially that first break, which is like 1 week into European domestic leagues.
 
Is there anyone more wonderful for us in a schadenfreude way than Gerrard's last twelve months?

We were great again, lets just keep this formation and style up for the rest of the season.

I fecking love beating Liverpool, doubly so for the second time this season and at Anfield.
 
ManCity aren't on the same page... Pelligrini can't even get his players subbed off. How you thing bloody training is going to be like Pelligrini n Serrano running laps . It's a meltdown!!! Pelligrini might get sacked at the weekend.
 
Yeah I suspect you'll beat us, to take back 3rd but Pelegrini is a deadman walking, his sacking is inevitable.
 
Unfortunately, with Pep being unavailable and our upper echelon wanting only a certain type of manager, I don't think it is inevitable - at least not if we don't collapse and finish 5th.

The derby is huge for us now. I would still be confident if I could pick the team but I have zero confidence in MP to do the smart thing and flood the midfield and take Carrick out of the match.
The one thing that gives us an advantage, forgetting our recent results at OT, is that I still think Utd are vulnerable to technically gifted intelligent forwards, as was seen vs Arsenal, and if nothing else we definitely have those.
 
Player for player, City's starting XI is still much better and more balanced than United's at present. Better forward line, better back line, arguable on midfield. But, for whatever reason Pelligrini isn't getting City to perform. That goes out of the window in a derby, City shouldn't need any motivation really and I think class will tell.

But looking forward, I think City need to do a lot more investing in the next 2 seasons than United now. Not something I would have thought I'd say 12 months ago. LVG has done a decent job of trimming the deadwood, and we're really about 3 players away from a pretty formidable squad (CB, RB, FW).
 
On form, it seems Man Utd will win the derby, but seeing how the biggest problem is MP motivating his players against weaker sides and getting them to play better for these small matches, I don't think his players will need much motivating for the big match against us. The players will want to win this themselves and will bring it up a notch and as Man Utd are already playing with flying colours now, I don't think they have another level to rise to and will be beat.

Hope I am wrong though...
 
yh derby's has nothing to do w/ form. I assume that the meltdown might play a role. They were on top or nearly for so long to be sitting at 4th -_-
 
Not sure who I want to win this. City are looking the most likely to drop more points to have any chance to finish 4th for Liverpool.
 
what a crazy match!!! From the first minute to the end. Thats why I love Derbies!

Chelsea next and let's hope that we can do this again!! (With less defensive weaknesses)
 
Great performance once again. It is a joy to watch Mata, Ander, Michael and the Belgian giant in midfield. Due to technical issues I miss the first 25 minutes but from this moment the lads dictated the game. Wonderful.
 
The team's really gelled together nicely. For the first time in a while, we're starting to see players who completely understand their roles on the pitch and the position of their team mates around them.
 
worried for 10mins or so but we controlled the game once we equalized. propers to LVG, taken points off all the top 4 teams. the players seem to know what he wants. journo's/ABU cunts wrote him off early days. we are playing better than we done for years.

citeh looked washed up, another manager on his way out and the players cant be arsed. "we know what we are. champions of england we know what we are" was sung when Kun(t) scored. laughable. think they will keep 4th place tho.
 
No mention of Kompany's leg breaker? That was horrendous. He clearly was hurt, so couldn't get to the ball as quickly as he wanted, but went in straight-legged and shin-high anyway.

Classy.

Yeah if anything the fact he chased the ref around and kept getting in his face even after being told several times to back off should've been a yellow in and of itself.. So red for that and the yellow card that could've been a straight red. I'm guessing you don't hear much bitching about it bc we won easily. Kompany is still a tool however.
