Mike Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Dani Alves is hilarious when he's done something wrong, love how he tries to play innocent but is terrible at it. You can't look that mean and act that innocent. Fucking save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Barca were over the f*cking place at the back towards the end there. Valdes making a decent double save to make the points safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still haven't solved the problems at the back from last season The better teams will punish them They should seriously just go all in for Luiz. Also anyone see Cavani there? Lost the ball and then ran the whole pitch at full pace while Zlatan just stood there. I just love Cavani and the amount of distance he can cover.

DJ_NUFC Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So I guess Cardiff are now ahead of us in the race to stay up?

Froggy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a feeling our game with Chelsea is going to be an absolute cracker. Personally think it's going to be a 2-2. Hoping for: De Gea Smalling Ferdinand Vidic Evra Jones Carrick Cleverley Valencia Welbeck RVP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a feeling our game with Chelsea is going to be an absolute cracker. I can't remember the last time i looked forward to a game that didn't invole us. Actually i can't remember the last time i looked forward to one of our games, but we'll gloss over that... Anyroad, huge game for Moyes it'll be interesting how the press behave should he lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the press could hurt him too much unless it's a heavy loss, but it's not like Chelsea didn't dismantle us a few times under Fergie as well.

Neil Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 A lot of "someones", really. Take Van Persie out that side and just look at it. Take away the Man Utd shirts. Look at that line-up. It's really not very good at all - fair play to Ferguson last year in that respect. What's the crack with Valencia? Think it was the season before last he ripped some teams to pieces, looked a hell of a player. Seems to have completely dropped off since then.

Village Idiot Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 For all the transfer noise around ManU this summer, they haven't signed anybody of note yet. ManU's squad has been slowly declining for a few years, bar the signing of Van Persie none of their additions has really made a big impact. Lots of respect for SAF for still managing to produce the goods, but I wonder if Moyes will be able to do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Honestly think the whole " not good enough midfield" thing is overstated. Its nowhere near as important as people will have you believe unless your called Barcelona, Bayern didn't wipe Barca apart because of their midfield they utterly destroyed them because of their wing play ( Lahm, Alaba, Ribery and Robben) For a team that has always been praised for wing play ( Man Utd) their biggest wide threats are their fullbacks and honestly to win the CL again they need to improve their wide threat more than their Centre Midfield IMO, although a ball winner who can drive the team forward would be good as well.

Think it was the season before last he ripped some teams to pieces, looked a hell of a player. Seems to have completely dropped off since then. He just had a bad year last year. All of wingers did really. He apparently felt a lot of pressure wearing the number 7 shirt as well and that's why he has went back to 25. Hopefully normal service is resumed with him this season. Disagree with saying the line-up isn't good like. Our defence is as good as anybodies in the league IMO, epsecially with Rafael in there. Vidic will be back to full fitness this year and Ferdinand had one of his best years with us last season. It's central midfield that needs to be upgraded to compete with the elite in Europe. If we had someone like Fabregas in that squad it would make a big difference. I don't actually know who we can get in the next week though. I wouldn't be surprised if this is our squad until January.
