Is the game plan to not control the ball correctly?We should bench Rooney and buy a striker.Yes! Great cameo by Schweinsteigerfeck off Rooney you useless twat
1-0 to the United.FT 0-1
MotM - DarmianOh no, two wins out of two. What are we going to do now? Sack LVG, sell Rooney, play De Gea!Pleased.feck yess!!!Schweinsteiger told Rooney off there for not trying to score.Grinding out 1-0's was crucial during Fergie's title winning years.2 games, 6 points. But god I love the meltdowns in matchday threads.
Solid away win!
He will need a dramatic improvement in form to be the Captain again next season let alone be the main striker.Another workman like performance. Maybe how we'll win the league.Darmian is a beast. RooneyExcellent, excellent result. Very happy. We defended really, really well. Lots of positives. Thought the subs were spot on.
Lots of work to be done, but this is how you want to start the season with a whole bunch of new players.I've forgotten what the top of the league looked like6 points ahead of Arsenal.
5 points ahead of Chelsea.
BTW, in 2 games, Rooney has not had any shots on target.
How is this guy captain of England and MUFC?I love the FBs. I am a massive Rafael fan but Darmian is easing that pain by the match.Another clean sheet with Blind in defense. Good victory away, now onto the Champions LeagueGreat 3 points.Defensively, great game.
Attack wise...Rooney.
You'll get used to it.2 games, 6 points. But god I love the meltdowns in matchday threads.
Morgan was 'meh' before Schweinsteiger came on, and Memphis had a very average game. But that's fine, it's still early days for him.
Schweini was great when he came on.Our fullbacks are very good.
Blind played well.
Attack is disjointed.
This may become a trend. Slow and steady wins the race. At least I hope so anyway. We're thankful for these 2 results but sooner rather than later, we need to start playing with more assurance. We're still far too toothless up front.
If we continue to play like this, luck will dry out pretty soon.3 points clear!Going with Schneiderlin MOTM still.LvG is a disgrace persisting with Blind at CB when we should be buying Pique and boateng to improve our leaky defenceRooney, as the 12th Aston Villa player, was superb. His passing, in particular, to fellow Villa players was exquisite.I'll take that every time! Meh performance again but it'll improve. The whole defense was very good. Darmian gets my MoTM.So... Solid and steady with an improvement on the last game! Given our poor away record last season this is a good start.
There was definitely a few glimmers of better play.
Big positives... Control and defence, I thought Memphis looked brighter in patches, Blind MOTM to follow Smalling last game? Darmian and Shaw looked really good. Herrera and Schweinsteiger brought better control.
Negatives... Rooney. You've got to start to think either LVG will change his mind or Rooney will be dropped. It kills me to say it as I'm such a fan but he was awful.
Can we win the league by playing 38, winning 38, scoring 38 and conceding none?
I think Morgan had a good game.
Memphis has a lot of potential. Average but I sense he'll be great for us, few good runs, was really active and lively.3 points yes!!!!! DamianGestede won one out of four against Smalling and one out of two against Blind from what I could tell. What's all the fuss about?- Status
