El Tigre is everywhere.70 percent possession.
Classic
There has been rumours but no confirmation.Can we please have a Burnley goal now too?dominant since the goal, hope we don't get sucker punched.
Exactly!Cant wait for people to say how mata was invisible in this game
Rest someone at HT. Bring Pereira on.As good as van Persie is, and he's really good (when on form), our best formation is probably with him on the bench.
------Mata-----
Falcao--Rooney
is just delicious, brilliant link up play and everything looks fluid, and just fits so much better than anything with RvP in it.
And Leicester.
Against crap teams, yes. But big teams? i dont think so. We nearly got found out against Aston Villa until the 4-4-2 swap.
That would be great
Maybe at 4-0 or at 60-70minutesI am renaming Evans "radio times" as he is always asking "what's on".
It's every time he gets the ball his hands are out in frustration, even though everyone else is having no problems.
I still reckon it is the personell not the formation that matters.Falcao' getting better. Far more Involved in play and working defensively tooI thought the CAF told me that Rooney and Van Gaal won't get along.
He's been fantastic this season. Just brilliant.
Really has, he's took to the captain role surprisingly well.I thought the CAF told me that Rooney and Van Gaal won't get along.
He's been fantastic this season. Just brilliant.
That's for sure! And this is the Mata we all want I think, providing assists and great freekicks, rather than the 'anonymous' man he's been some matches so far this season. PS: I'm not one of those who want him sold! Hehe.
Yes it's very encouraging to see.45 min
Injury Time
One minute added time.Ian Darke needs to shut up about the weather and just commentate on the game
I don't want anyone sold, it needs adding to, then everybody watch out.
Yeah good movement from the deeper positions as it should be played. Also Carrick is pushing essentially into midfield when we are in attack which allows Rooney to get forward so much and it's working brilliantly so far.
Also helps that Mata has remembered his actually good at defense splitting passes.
yes , he has impressed in the past couple of games.Nice to see all three of our centre backs marauding into the Newcastle half. We've been so much better today with our passing and ball possession than in recent weeks.Can someone send me a link pls? In bangkok on hols and was so happy when MUTV showed the pre match and teams lining up
but then whole thing went blank and only audio available.Evans has an extremely vertical running style.
There's no surprisingly about it.Ian Darke needs to shut up about the weather and just commentate on the game
I know. We didn't ask for a weathermanGiving away a lot of free kicks here.Half-time (45+2')We look good because Newcastle hasn't pressed us at all. Not to take anything away from our forward play, but just a thought.45+2 min
Half-time
Two goals from Wayne Rooney has put United in control. Newcastle have looked lively going forward but the bigger threat has come from United.
Same again in the second-half please (with a little more defensive solidly perhaps)...Our formation and tactics are working. We are in complete control.
He runs like he's in a Monty Python sketch.Jones relishing the freedom of moving out of the defence.
Jon champion, not Ian darke I think.Ian Darke needs to shut up about the weather and just commentate on the game
Two nice goals. A lot of possession. A couple of dodgy moments at the back. Not a bad turkey sandwich day at all.
Would be nice to see Falcao get a goal, he deserves it.Rooney, Mata, Jones and Falcao have been brilliant.- Status
