Manchester United vs. Arsenal

[Red Dreams]

not surprised at how we have played so far. We have been improving. Good possession, passing and interception. Perfect goal to cap it.

next we attack the Stretty End.

hope Vidic is back. Jones has done well in midfield.

 

[bosnian_red]

Great first half so far. We'll probably see Jones back to center back next to Evans and Cleverley in the middle for the second half. Hope we don't miss Vidic too much but everyone has played pretty well so far. Kagawa been ok on the left again, nothing special though, can see him coming off for Januzaj around the 60-70th minute. We'll need another I think. Great to see RVP celebrate as well.

 

[Shark]

Excellent performance and we got the all important first goal. It's only half time though and a lot can still happen, hope Vidic is ok. Fingers crossed we can keep it up.

 

[Phurry]

De Gea looks so boss in the air now.

That first punch when the ball almost crossed the halfway line was epic.

 

[Archie Leach]

You've done very well. Our midfield has been shit. This match needs more KOs.

 

[The Man Himself]

Scrappy game at times. Arsenal have created next to nothing and we have been better. Praying Vida returns for 2nd half.

 

[gasmanc]

Good performance so far, Arsenal haven't been allowed to play, few mentions, Jones proving invaluable in front of the back four, Valencia always an outball, Evans outstanding playing from the back, Rooney always available and RVP for unsettling the whole back line.
Michael Oliver gets a new sentence and a special mention for an utterly dog shit performance, laughable decisions at times.

 

[walsh]

Forget this game, losing Vidic could be terrible for our entire season. He's been immense yet again.

Hopefully we add to the goal and not sit back now.Rooney, Valencia and Vidic have been really good.

How long could we possibly lose him for for a bash on the head?

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

A true man does not get knocked out by someone else's groin

Most of the ones I know are afraid of spiders and insects

 

[Man-United]

The booking will affect Jones I think, shouldn't have been a booking.

 

[Rolandofgilead]

How the feck did big Phil get booked?

anyway, very solid defensively, we've moved the ball well in the middle and have looked decent up top. They will come out more and try and attack us now.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Big call coming up for Moyes. Fellaini or Cleverley for Vidic?

I know what the caf will think, but it's a big chance for Fellaini

 

[kps88]

Don't think we've done enough to expose their right hand side, which looks very vulnerable. Ozil's been left for dead the few times he's been out there defending.

 

[Snowjoe]

Carregher should not be allowed to say "Marking" on telly.

 

[ricky-romeo]

hope vidic is fine..we need him,

smalling surprisingly looks good going forward
phil jones is doing his job very well.
a very good performance. need to keep this up for the 2nd half.

 

[bosnian_red]

How long could we possibly lose him for for a bash on the head?

Think it was probably a concussion so 3 weeks or so?

 

[DJ Jeff]

Has it been confirmed that Vidic is being subbed?

 

[duffer]

Scrappy game at times. Arsenal have created next to nothing and we have been better. Praying Vida returns for 2nd half.

He was pretty clearly knocked out and was groggy as feck when walking off. As tough as he might be, it would be pretty irresponsable to let him come out again for the second half.

 

[100]

Big call coming up for Moyes. Fellaini or Cleverley for Vidic?

I know what the caf will think, but it's a big chance for Fellaini

Cleverley got warmed up so it'll probably be him.

 

[Red Pavan]

We haven't been great but Arsenal have been terrible so far.

 

[Jacob]

Haven't we seen it before? Arsenal on a high and playing beautiful football, comes to OT, get roughed up by us and retreats back to their shell.

Jones and Smalling have been excellent for us. Ozil, as expected, is unable to influence to game when things don't go well.

Calm down ffs, for all we know we could still end up losing.

 

[Man-United]

Lawrenson had a go at Smalling a couple of weeks ago. Do people believe he won't make it here? I mean stay at United for 10-15 years and not move when he's 27-28 to a mid table club.

 

[duffer]

Is Rio injured?

 

[Mad Winger]

Jones has been our best man out there. I feared him coming off after that yellow card, but that's not gonna happen now that Vidic is out.

 

[Phurry]

Carregher should not be allowed to say "Marking" on telly.

Fixed.

 

[Rado_N]

Is Rio injured?

Don't think so, just in poor form.

 

[QuackQuack]

We haven't been great but Arsenal have been terrible so far.

I think we have controlled the game and Ozil and Ramsey have sort of been eliminated from the game so far. I hope we can keep the pressure up and maybe bring Januzaj to run at Sagna.

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

Good half by Utd, best so far this season. Arsenal miss Rosicky and Mertesacker

 

[Shark]

Jones has been our best man out there. I feared him coming off after that yellow card, but that's not gonna happen now that Vidic is out.

Is he definitely out?

 

[TypeR]

Forget this game, losing Vidic could be terrible for our entire season. He's been immense yet again.

Hopefully we add to the goal and not sit back now.Rooney, Valencia and Vidic have been really good.

This. I'm afraid Vidic'll be out for the remainder of the match. The replay showed how bad it was. Seemed to be unconscious, at least for a moment, as he hit the deck. Walked off and certainly didn't seem to know where he is. Will be a big loss to our backline, though I'd like to see Jones step back into CB if Vidic can't continue; he's been immense in midfield breaking up attacks so far.

 

[Man-United]

Wouldn't it be better to just move Smalling to CB, Valencia RB and bring on Adnan? Don't want to lose Carrick-Jones in the middle.

 

[kps88]

The feck are Stoke doing at Swansea?

 

[Woodzy]

I think Fellaini could really work in this game to be honest.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Carregher should not be allowed to say "Marking" on telly.

Yeah sounds more like basketball commentary

 

[Phurry]

He was pretty clearly knocked out and was groggy as feck when walking off. As tough as he might be, it would be pretty irresponsable to let him come out again for the second half.

Unless you're a Spurs manager.

 

[Rado_N]

We haven't been great but Arsenal have been terrible so far.

We deserve credit for stopping them playing.

 

[LARulz]

Cleverley got warmed up so it'll probably be him.

Both did apparently. I have a feeling Fellani because he wants someone to win as many headers as possible against Giroud

 

[thegregster]

Lawrenson had a go at Smalling a couple of weeks ago. Do people believe he won't make it here? I mean stay at United for 10-15 years and not move when he's 27-28 to a mid table club.

Fergie rates him highly going by his book.

I think he will be a great CB.
We have three of the best young CB about in Evans,Smalling and Jones.

 

[Shane88]

How the feck did big Phil get booked?

anyway, very solid defensively, we've moved the ball well in the middle and have looked decent up top. They will come out more and try and attack us now.

Because the ref fretted about a head injury. fecking clown.

 

[Jippy]

Jones has been our best man out there. I feared him coming off after that yellow card, but that's not gonna happen now that Vidic is out.

He has been good. Would rather keep him in midfield than have him drop back to replace Vida.

 

[Hellboy]

Hope Vida is ok
