    You're not wrong. Can't wait for us to get Rafa back and for us to buy another RB. Can't be that hard

    At the end of this season, FC Porto will sell Danilo. He sould get him.
    He defends better than Valencia or Rafa (and knows how to take the game forward!)

    Rafa can be excellent going forward to be fair. He's shown that this season.
     
    Sometimes you have to grind out a result on the road, which I felt we did today. Didn't play the greatest but got the 3 points and that's what mattered! These are the games you have to get some points out of to stay near the top.

    Now bring on Liverpool!!! Win that and we should have a lot of confidence going into the festive period.

    As long as we have the players we do in defense we will keep singing this pathetic song about injuries to our backline. The are a bunch of crocks. We need to sort it out or suck it up.

    You make a point something needs to change, Jones, Smalling i was hooping was the future for our backline but we need stability and their injury records only fill me with doubt.
     
    I missed the whole match,.

    Can someone explain why mcnair substitued?

    Smalling got injured, we subbed Evans on. Van gaal forgot Evans is shite, so conceded a goal within minutes, Van gaal said fek that, switched Carrick into central defence instead of Evans and put Herrara in midfield in place of carrick at the expense of McNair (but really it should have been Evans that gets subbed back off)

    Evans wasn't great but he was infinitely better than McNair. That's not even debatable.
     
    Be relax Evans critics. Lad just came back into team and expect him to be little rusty. Good that he got 80 min today. Dont judge our lads as if you guys just started watching football today.

    Hoping Mata and Herrera start again.

    I wonder the significance of him NOT starting them. McNair started instead of Herrera so LVG could play a back 3. We were truly awful in that first half, so makes me wonder if things would've been better if both Spaniards would've started, or maybe sacrificed Fellaini instead. Though to be fair, he has been doing ok in recent game. He was back to his p'poor self last night. Proper shocker, and he wasnt alone!

    I've often said confidence is king, but 4 wins on the spin didnt seem to give us much to start with last night. Some of our passing (or mis-passing) was the worst I think I've ever seen

    Young, Carrick & RVP came out with some credit, the rest of them need to buck up for Sunday !
     
    I'm not going to defend the overall performance, no point in claiming it was good. But thinking about it if we're winning games against teams also in the top 4 (at the start of the match) with half of our first team (including most of the defence and midfield lines) out injured and with a bad performance, to me that's sort of re-assuring.

    And let's be honest, we actually played the way Chelsea regularly play (though admittedly their defence is actually solid so it works a little better for them) in big matches, so I think there's some overly harsh criticism out there over 1 bad game. That said United is used to receiving overly-harsh criticism.

    What's he's excuse the rest of the time then? The guy isn't Man Utd quality, can't wait till we replace him.
