It's called having a squad and probably wants to see more of Anita there. Anita works hard and will probably suit that type of role Just wondering how it's looking, man. How's Vurn doing there when we're at home and up. I know what squad rotation means. I know, it's just been a long time since we had half a one and a manager that can get them playing

Yeah having more than 2 wingers at the club would be a good idea. Aarons looks on form though in pre-season clips so hope he gets the games and a new contract. On the flip side he tends to get an injury that keeps him out a while so sensible to have another option

If they had actually backed Keegan things would have been different. We were linked with Modric and Sweinsteiger that summer and both got knocked on the head. We could have had both for 15-20 mil if I remember right

Whether we get him or not I'm glad we are buying wingers at last, been so unbalanced for years.

For the like the hundredth time that I've seen on this forum, I'm glad you have absolutely nothing to do with the running of this club. I'll leave it up to the people in the charge with far more nous and forward thinking than you. Having wingers that just run in straight lines and get down wing is just not that effective these days, you need players cutting inside and overlapping fullbacks to try and stretch / overload defences. I think you need 1 player playing on their natural side I.e. Aarons, although he cuts inside and has the pace and movement to do it. Doesn't Ritchie use both feet, sure I have seen him cross and shoot with both.

I like Rafa, therefore he can do whatever he likes

They are currently debating how well the current squad could do and quite a number think top 10 easy, really :-) and we are the deluded ones, they were nearly relegated with that squad and do they not realise their end of season form has little to do with Jan signings and more to do with there usual last 7 game run. I mean Moyes may very well turn them into a mid-table or above team but to claim it will instantly gonna happen is as deluded as us believing we will walk the Championship and then challenge for Europe

We should keep a hold if we can. I would have faith in Rafa helping him regain form and a year down there where his technical skills might show with other players doing the physical work might help.

Need to make a statement by destroying these

And we are the deluded ones, they are mental

It will be pretty funny after 2 or 3 games when they realise they should have spent 60 million on 1 good player rather than 2 that combined are still average. Either way good bit of cash for us to rebuild on the type of players and balance we need. Save some for Jan/ next season if promoted and have a good team in premier league.

For anyone that was there what did our shape look like tactically, do we look more defensively sound or the same disorganised mess off the ball ? We seem a lot better going forward

You will be periscoping it yeah ?

I think we will sign 2 or 3 more and lose 2 more players probably Tiote and Sissoko

You wait for a defender and 4 come along at once. Like Allardyce this Rafa bloke

Class or absolutely awful and cringeworthy, who knows?! It would be cringeworthy and make us as bad as the Mackems

I never knew that many passes existed

Would be good to recognise him as a centre back that can fill in at Left Back and then go get a decent left back, although he seems to see Anita, Gamez or Sterry playing there

We seem to be shaping a very decent squad and getting a style together, hell even reserves are winning games. Just fucking hope we carry it into the season and the big Newcastle curse doesn't kick in with horrible injuries or anything

He's a good manager but will take him time and doubt he will get them above mid table. Not sure that's based on much. 3 jobs, f***ed two them up I think it will suit him being there. Man U job was too big for him and never know when managing a foreign team. Will take a lot of work to make them mid-table though as will need to clear out a lot of shite even if them lot think they are class. He brought through a few youngsters at Everton as well including Coleman, Barkley, Rooney, Rodwell and made them very hard to beat, he didn't often start their season until January though which will suit these lot and he did spend a fair bit no matter what is said.

Don't think we have had a player like Gayle for sometime that tries to run beyond allowing those balls. Positive we seem to be playing better football this preseason

He's a good manager but will take him time and doubt he will get them above mid table.

In Rafa we trust, if he thinks it's right that's fine with me. He does seem to love Big Vurn and Captain Pass back though. Interested to see how well Sterry does and good to see Aarons not broke down yet

I'd like to see a fucking periscope :-) all those roaming charges. Would like to see Gayle and Ritchie start with Hayden and Shelvey in midfield
