We have been fine. Nothing spectacular, job done so far. Needs to be a bit more clinical and sharp.
Young's been decent, certainly no need to swap him at half time. Would possibly make that change later on though. Valencia also combining well with Mata and Herrera.Think I'd be tempted to swap Young for Di Maria at the break, and then Rafael for Valencia around the hour mark.
Not sure Rafael will be ready for 45 mins after so long without a match.
We've got to guard against complacency now. Don't think the job is done.
He's seen a lot of the ball and made some very good runs but his crossing has been awful and he passed straight to Villa players numerous times in that half. He's been very miss and hit for me.I cannot fathom what I'm seeing. He's been superb.
Concerned about them on break. Jones is getting pulled out wide which is leaving gaps in middle of our defence.
Rafael doesn't?He' also have at least one mistake in him and give away a penalty
Some sense at lastIt's a ridiculous suggestion. Rooney is struggling to get really involved as there's so little space to work in with Villa's tactics, that's exactly the sort of situation Falcao would struggle even more to make an impact.
Yeah, has the beating of Hutton every time, just the final ball a bit overhit every time but he's doing really wellI cannot fathom what I'm seeing. He's been superb.

This season Valencia has been better defending, in possession and attacking. Possession is important to LVG and rightly so.
It's Rafael I was referring toRafael doesn't?

Rooney can comfortably get 20 goals a season if played up front all year. He's been quiet but are people actually suggesting taking him off? Some people really do take him for granted, he's always important to the team.We need to get hold of a top CF in the Summer if we want to win the league. Rooney is still good but won't get over 20 goals a season. Our issue this year has been shitting on the little teams, not the big games.
We are 1-0 up, not 4-0.
Blimey. Someone's on hallucinogenics alreadyValencia has been good this season. Rafael is/will be better than him in all aspects if brought on.
Only a Valencia hater would think that. It doesn't matter how well he plays in any game, the haters always want him dropped.Valencia has been good this season. Rafael is/will be better than him in all aspects if brought on.
Not particularly saying it for that reason. Just think Di Maria could offer more.Young's been decent, certainly no need to swap him at half time. Would possibly make that change later on though. Valencia also combining well with Mata and Herrera.
Leave it alone for now.

No matter how bad a game he's having at home, I'd never take a player of his calibre off for a guy who's best days were 3 years ago. If we had better options, then yes, but simply bring Falcao on would be crazy
Agree with most points. Lots of last minute tackles by Villa, Fellani and Rooney slightly off the pace. Otherwise, still think a fairly good performance, and far from shit.Not a great performance by any means but for from 'shit' as some were saying.
Rooney looks like he's been boiling over since the penalty wasn't given, hopefully a breather and a word from the manager will calm him down.
Young has been hit/miss, some infuriating final balls but some cracking runs.
Valencia also has been aimless with his crosses, I really don't get why Rafael can't get a game, he'd offer more at both ends.
Herrera is just great.

Just the bog standard overreaction to everything on here, nothing to worry about.Solid really. Don't get the criticism from some, we bossed that half. Rooney and Fellaini have been quiet but no need to take them off yet while we are up.
I hope they all listened keenly.We've got to guard against complacency now. Don't think the job is done.
Like he did against Preston and Yeoviltake Fellani off...not Rooney....
Falcao willcause them problems.
It's a Football Manager reference, mate.We are 1-0 up, not 4-0.
