Sex by mata shit by di maria

 

[ManUtd1999]

Shocking first half.

 

[Irrational.]

Beautiful from Mata. He's been our best offensive player this half.

 

[thegregster]

Mata

 

[LeftyBlaster]

On the bright side, the defence looks way better without Jonny ticking time bomb Evans

 

[LARulz]

Good by Mata and Rooney

 

[RooneyLegend]

Dire stuff from both teams, surely the second half will be better.

 

[tyunited]

Our creative outlets Mata and Di Maria poor.

 

[JPRouve]

Why does everyone ignore RVP when he's in the wide channels

Because he tends to ignore everyone when he is on the ball.

 

[Woodzy]

Think we've played well. Just a little lacking in creativity and Di Maria has been very frustrating

 

[HabeasC]

Di Maria's shooting from range has been really poor the last few games.

He has never been one to score from range or to score brilliant goals. That's why we need him in MF, so he can assist.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

We've played well against a good side. Our final ball is killing us though.

Atleast our defense looks really solid.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Lots of possession, no goal threat.

We have no pace using ADM like this. And he's been poor.

Hate this back three. Neuters us.

 

[Cheesy]

Some lovely play by Mata there.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Must say Rooney's hair is looking particularly luxurious today.

 

[Mersault]

Despite Rooney and di Maria being quite poor today it's still the most dominant performance I've seen from us so far this season. Look easily like the better team and the fear factor seems to have crept in too.

Need to be a lot more incisive going forward though. Tony has been excellent and Van Persie has been very positive.

 

[tob]

Mata and Rooney playing good, I think

 

[pauldyson1uk]

terrible first half

 

[Donut]

I've just come home. Are we playing 3-5-2 ?

 

[Gannicus]

It's not you. It's the philosophy.

 

[JonDahl]

Crap half. Created nothing.

 

[Randall Flagg]

In general we are doing ok. Smalling and Jones really seem to be adapting to the formation. They look very comfortable. Some decent stuff but final ball has been a bit shit

 

[Bojan11]

Southampton are there for the taking. Apart from first two minutes, our final ball shocking.

 

[Nickosaur]

Ugh that was so uninspiring.

 

[JohnDoe]

On the bright side, the defence looks way better without Jonny ticking time bomb Evans

Jonny Evans, the bomb that keeps blowing.

 

[RoadTrip]

I think it's because our forward line is so ponderous that LvG wants to inject some pace into it, which he's done by playing Di Maria up there.

We need pace all across the front though, and Di Maria is much more effective coming from midfield and running at defenders. That's his game.

 

[Drifter]

That was nice football towards the end .

 

[All 3 United]

Switch Di Maria with Rooney. Or take Di Maria off for Herrera and play rooney up top.

 

[Rado_N]

Mata and Rooney playing good, I think

Rooney has been shit.

 

[Man-United]

We play so boring football these days.

 

[J-Stander]

Di Maria and Rooney have been very poor. How about putting our best striker up front and moving one of our most creative midfielders into midfield?

 

[Wowi]

Getting in some good positions, but decision making in the final third has been abysmal. Going for the killer-ball way too often when it's not really on instead of being a bit more patience.

 

[jem]

Really? Haven't even noticed him on the ball.

Try watching the game then.

 

[Ainu]

Deadly boring football. I guess that's what you get with a striker in midfield and a midfielder in centre forward. We just don't do chances anymore.

 

[LLMU]

Really need a spark in the second half. Can see us nicking one with Mata pulling the string so far.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

On the bright side, the defence looks way better without Jonny ticking time bomb Evans

Absolutely.

 

[JPRouve]

We've been good, but our last touch needs to be better, Southampton have a good defense.

 

[the hea]

Descent first half overall. Di Maria and Rooney has been poor and needs to step up in the second half

 

[bosnian_red]

Decent half. Final ball a bit off, but we're dominating and defending well with the little they get, but they also have the best defence in the league by a distance so it was never going to be easy.

The goal will come.

 

[Oddboy]

Solid defensively for a change. Can't see where our goal is going to come from though. Di Maria with the touch of a 60k player not 60m.
