Our problems today have little to do with our centerbacks. Vidic used to hoof it like that and it sometimes helped start counter attacks.

To make it worse we have relied on one player to get us 14 of those 32.
The rest of the team is fecking woeful. As evidenced today. Its not even like we arent creating the chances.I expected us to leapfrog City by the end of the day, but they could be 5 points clear. We need to pull our fingers out here.Rooney was brilliant last week- so should get at least 30 mins.
Until we drop this obsession with giving him minutes we wont improve. As a pro athlete Miki etc could produce a moment of quality in the 90th minute. Rooney couldnt produce on fifa.
Hardly. If it weren't for our tragic inability to convert chances we would be a couple of goals to the good. Have they even had a shot on target?I actually think we're playing well, just need a bloody goal.Did anyone see the push from Shawcross on Ibra?
Ryan Shawcross is a cnut today against Zlatan.
Same thing has happened about 6 times this season. He drops out of the squad and nobody has a clue what's up with him.
Very Frustrating alright , this is a day where the performance is irrelevant but we need 3 pts but as you say , right now we are blowing it big time again.I'd go Rashford for Mata and Carrick for FellainiFellaini and probably mata need to taken off if we want anything from this game. Was a poor decision to start fellaini over carrick.
With the amount of dicking around Mourinho does every game with those two positions, I'm starting to suspect he lost the coin toss.Just swap Carrick for FellainiWatching Smalling with ball at his feet...its like a horror movie
I was thinking, could he gamble and put Carrick on as attacking CB? Might not happen with Crouch up there?
Shawcross seems to have bulked up considerably. It's like a gun nut also stocking up on knives.Come on Rooney..let's break the damn record today
Mkhi has been at the centre of some of our best moments and Mata' is always likely to pop up with a goal. I'd like to see the same team come out for at least 15 mins. Get Rashford on for somebody if it doesn't work.Ridiculous that we didn't make any changes.Typical United bottle job to be fair.I'm sorry to say, but this is a game where Lingard would have made sense.
Its wierd. Is he hurt?Hope HT doesn't knock the wind off our sails.Come on lads. Show us some heart.
Yes but he had Rio next to him most of the time who had composure in abundance which made the difference. Instead we have to budget Vidic's lumping and it does affect our play as it slows it down so much it allows stoke to reset their defence.Big second half. Come on Jose work some magic.And we're off. (On my stream...)
We have played well, more so since the goal.Fellaini won't come off. He's also had two shots on target. If anything we might see Blind off and Rashford on.No view of the game but listening on radio. how bad was the Mata miss?Need a huge 45 minutes.
Shawcross is a cnut everyday.
Ibra gives it back though, you can't be soft with him.
I refuse your apologies.
Wait, what?
So, you want to punish Fellaini for Mata's mistakes today? Would you want to take Mata off if Fellaini scored OG and missed a great chance?
Fellaini is looking good and threatened more than our most creative players (with the exception of maybe Pogba).Jesus. Pogba twisting and turning and Fellaini doesn't move an inch to make himself available for the pass, just stands there waiting to see what's about to happen.Just shoot it Mkhi
Bad enough that a 67 year old grandma could have scored it by just falling on her arse and hitting the ball on the way down.That was never offside.please score. I want to be able to watch match of the day laterIs Zlatan going to shoot today or just pass aimlessly across the box?- Status
