Di Maria , downDi Maria downOh feckWhy we playing this nonsense vs Cambridge at home ?
That too with a real strong team.Decent shot from Rooney. Beyond the players out of position and all that, as long as we just play the ball quicker we should be fine.
I have a lot of problems playing Fellaini in a game like this instead of Herrera. Lower side, packed in defence, and just pump it to Fellaini in the box, trying to break Moyes crossing record.feckity feckDirty Cnut that's a redDirty c**tHe's not injured.
Di Maria slipped first, it was an accident.McGeehan with a tackle marginally less shit than his hair.He'll be okAccidental.
We're playing crap football.Jesus that looked bad.
Their £60 player has just broken our £60M player.How do you stamp on someone's leg and not have a free kick awarded against you?!He wasnt expecting Di Maria to slip right in front of him.21 min
McNair does well to get in behind Simpson but is cross is blocked and out for a corner.21 min
Di Maria's cross is straight into the hands of Dunn.Good effort by McNaironly just got in - is fellaini up front?Sheffield 1-0 upGood run from McNair!
Sorry but that was not an "accident," the Cambridge Utd player was clearly late in the challenge. Yellow card.
He's gone in hard on Rooney and now AdM … he's trying to steal the headlines
I was expecting Jones at the corner and remembered he wasn't playing
This! They're defending with 10 men and we need some physical strenght upfront. CU want a 0-0 as long as possible to make us nervous. So, that formation looks a bit unconvential to us but makes sense for me.
Di Maria slipped, not even a foul for me.
#10We are so so bad at corners.Their goalie's complexion matches his shirt.
I'm not saying we're switching to hoofball just because he's there, I'm saying that playing with him that far up the pitch implies that we want to use his aerial strength as a key part of our strategy. Think about how different that attack would look with ADM and Mata behind RVP instead of Fellaini and Mata. Fellaini has been fairly decent this season. That doesn't change the fact that one of his major strengths is playing with the ball in the air.I think I am a McNair-fan
now.23 min
Di Maria plays a one-two with Mata and the Argentine heads towards goal but it's wide.Ouch! That didn't look good.Playing Mata with these sort of tactics is absolutely pointless. we just bypass him most of the time.Come on Di Maria ,ram it down the Cambridge fans throats.We are the favourites in most games so the opposition will park the bus. This is modern foootball in a nutshell. To break this down you need pacey, technical players who will take on defenders. Quick passing and switching possession. Mata, Di Maria, Herrera (when he plays), Januzaj are players who need to take more responsability there. The crosses have become more important so perhaps we need to look for a Mandzukic type player in the summer (or perhaps sign Falcao..). Surprised Falcao isn't on the pitch along Fellaini if he thinks crosses is the way to go.
Amazing chestwork tbf.
This. It's a massive indication of our approach.I think I prefer Rojo as a wing-back to Shaw- Status
