He's the best player in the team hands down. His quality makes the claims of Rooney being World Class™ hilarious.
 
Chose the wrong pass occasionally, or he'd overhit it a bit, but he's been here two days, so it's to be expected. He still looked the most threatening for us. His work to get the ball off the full back in the 2nd half was excellent. Made some good runs with the ball to drive forwards. Looking forward to seeing more of that.
 
I'd love to see Wilson on the end of the passes he was putting through today. Think they'll link up well given the chance.
 
We've signed him? Woo-hoo!

And Blind?

Who cares about the draw?

Just got off a sailing boat I've been on for a week and I like the news. Perspective bitches (or maybe I just aven't seen the games yet :lol:).
 
Easy, he did look good at times but he was far from great.

He's been here two days and was our best player in system he's never played in before.

But no, please continue telling us how he can't play this position :annoyed:
 
The worrying thing is that given enough time, Di Maria's value might drop as his confidence wanes.

United needs to be turned around ASAP.
 
Although CM is our Achilles heel, and he did impress me today, i feel like he is wasted there.

I would like to see a 433 with ADM and Januzaj out wide and RvP/Rooney in the middle.

:lol: Welcome to the real world!
 
Looked decent. Making his debut against Burnley was never going to do him justice as they are physical and he's only been here 2 days. If I was LVG I would have brought him on at either half time or 70 mins plus when they were tired. He should not have started at all.
He will still be amazing for us despite that pile of shit we were forced to watch today.

He's far better deeper and centrally than on the wings IMO. Most certainly he is not wasted playing that role.

If we move to four at the back I suspect it will be a diamond and look like this,

---------------DDG----------------
Rafael --- Jones ---- Rojo ---- Shaw
----- Herrera - Blind - Di Maria ------
-------------- Mata ---------------
------ Van Persie - Rooney ------
 
Rooney and RvP must have thought they are seeing things there today with some of the through balls and crosses he was delivering in. No wonder they and RvP in particular didn't know what to do with them as it's been a while since they've gotten service like that. The sooner they all click now the better.

I agree. Hopefully the purchase of Blind and the return of both Herrera and Carrick will see him move further up the field. That being said, wasted or not, he is a hell of a lot better at CM than Fletcher, Cleverley or Anderson.
 
I hope with the return of Carrick and Herrera and with Blind coming I hope we'll see him on the wing cause seein Young and especially Valencia on the wings is fu.king depressing. So is Januzaj sitting on the bench with those 2 turds playing.

To be fair these claims about him stopped a long time ago. ADM and DDG are your world class players.
 
Our best central midfielder today, and he's not even a central midfielder.

His debut was relatively standard and completely expected. Some great movement, vision and technique accompanied by some misplaced and overhit passes, which is fine for a debutant, especially one that left a quick moving Real Madrid side to our slow static football.

Hopefully he isn't injured and with the return of Hererra he can be pushed up field closer to the back line of the opposition.
 
So we bought a world class winger and then played him in the centre of midfield?

Thankfully. He's not even close to being a top class player anymore. Occasionally he's very good; occasionally he'd fit in a sunday league team.
 
Just shows how many overrated players we have in the team when a 70% fit Di Maria comes in his first EPL game and easily looks our best player.
 
He played there in Madrid last season and was one of the best if not the best Madrid player overall.

Plus our horrible midfield situation.

To accomodate Bale and it was one season. That's the same as saying Jones is a right back because he played there last season.

Aye, that's the exact comparison my mate made.



He's a better midfielder than winger.

I doubt that.
 
It's amazing that he signed for us really. Woodward is a genius.

On the evidence of the past three games, we're not going to be back in the CL any time soon.
 
We need him on the wing, he is a match winner. Mata and Herrera in front of Blind. But yea, one of RvP or Rooney has to sit on the bench.

Doubt it all you want. He is though.

And it wasn't one season either as he played in midfield for Benfica.
 
If he stayed on, I think we would have snatched it, unfortunate he isn't 100% fit.

Oh well at least we had Ando to bring on.
