Manchester United 3:0 Sunderland

Eriku · Sep 26, 2015

We don't need urgency. it's the bloody first half. We've seen plenty of first halves like this under Fergie as well.

If we come out looking clueless as to how to break them down in the 2nd as well, and don't change it up and start taking more risks as the match goes on, then you can start bitching and whining... until then people should settle the feck down.

Mrs Smoker · Sep 26, 2015

Ref should add 5 minutes in first half.

DJ Jeff · Sep 26, 2015

Memphis has been dreadful for us so far, bar the Brugge game.

Stringer · Sep 26, 2015

Why on earth are we playing both Schneiderlin and Carrick at home to bloody Sunderland!? It's baffling.

jem · Sep 26, 2015

It really is the most boring fecking brand of football that we play.

Get the feck out. Look at his stats for us, and come back with a ridiculous statement like that.

Look at his performances and the amount of times he either can't get to the ball because he's too slow or he gets knocked off the ball or beaten to headers and challenges because he's too small.

Stats don't tell the whole story. Obviously he has the talent to create things if given the right conditions.

Kant-ona · Sep 26, 2015

I hope that is a typical "When Schweinsteiger came on we suddenly improved" match-day.

But what if someone gets injured/tired?

Play with 10 men, we will probably be better for it, some urgency and that

Mainoldo · Sep 26, 2015

Rooney needs to start blood Playing this role right. His not even on his toes when it counts...

Stay in your role instead of looking for Valencia.

Bojan11 · Sep 26, 2015

Do the lads know that we could be top if we win this?

Anustart89 · Sep 26, 2015

Borini's such a little bitch. Tries to push people around and then just spreads his arms.

Drifter · Sep 26, 2015

Four more minutes .Yay.

Raw · Sep 26, 2015

Will we ever have a plan against parked buses?

sunama · Sep 26, 2015

So, they park the bus - and what do you know - we can't get a decent shot on target.
Same old story.
Only chance we have is Martial does something special and scores the goal by himself, without doing the back/side passing.

ken11 · Sep 26, 2015

Rooney is just not worth 300k/week. 120k/week tops.

Fair enough, I still don't see how you can't be impressed with a 19 year old coming into a new league and starting how he has though. But I do agree with you that some are going overboard with the praise for every little thing he does but that's just natural when you're excited about a new player.

Sure, just looking at the way he has started is brilliant. 3 goals in 2 games is simply great. Nothing against that.

Maybe if you didn't write such long winded posts in the matchday thread you might be able to enjoy the game.

But he's immensely talented.

Allegedly.

The Hungry Surgeon · Sep 26, 2015

Very dull so far.

Rado_N · Sep 26, 2015

The time wasting is pathetic, they've been doing it since the first minute for feck sake.

You're playing in the top flight of football, if that's your main tactic then feck off and let another team compete and actually play.

Needham · Sep 26, 2015

Rooney should have shot. / Rooney should never shoot in those situations. Wasteful.

Rooney in Paris · Sep 26, 2015

Very well defended by Darmian!

justboy68 · Sep 26, 2015

This is some piss poor attacking from us. Sunderland are ready and willing to roll over but we can't seem to do anything in the final third.

Anustart89 · Sep 26, 2015

Four minutes added :lol:

feck off Sunderland

Mrs Smoker · Sep 26, 2015

4 minutes, take that time wastin' twats.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Sep 26, 2015

Bring Schneiderlin/Carrick off and Herrera on and Pereira for Depay.

shabadu84 · Sep 26, 2015

The same key won't unlock every door. This is the same match we've seen far too many times under LVG and it's annoying we haven't learned from that.

...aka Las Cortinas · Sep 26, 2015

We are comfortably the most boring team in the league. Not a bad team, but just so so boring.

RetroStu · Sep 26, 2015

Some of our passing, jesus.

Smalling is not a footballer.
Sack Van Gaal at half time.
The club needs a new stadium.

Hed Zitin · Sep 26, 2015

Good Darmian.

Look totally void of any attacking ideas.

prarek · Sep 26, 2015

Playing like a team of individuals atm.

Jaxa · Sep 26, 2015

Second half Young for Memphis and later on Herrera for Carrick, we need some creativity here

Joemo · Sep 26, 2015

Carrick has not been good at all.

I don't think there's a single redeeming thing about Sunderland.

Sigma · Sep 26, 2015

We've been all right. Everyone's playing fine at the moment, just need a bit more urgency and we should be fine.

vibe · Sep 26, 2015

Defensively Darmian has got to be the best fullback in the league right now. He's had only one bad game against Southampton, everything else has been world class.

Woodenlung · Sep 26, 2015

What was the point in starting with two holding midfielders at home to the worst side in the league?

JPRouve · Sep 26, 2015

We have two problems, Carrick and Rooney.

Bring on Herrera and Pereira for Mata and Carrick/Schneiderlin

Why would you bring Mata off who's our only attacking player bar Martial who's not looking shit and get Herrera on who can't play in 2 man midfield? With Depay's 0 defensive (and now offensive) contribution we would be fecked.

Offside · Sep 26, 2015

Knew this would be 0-0 at half time.

Edit: 1-0
