themanupstairs Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Absolutely great team performance, no passengers today. Excellent. Agreed, apart from Colback and Obertan. Would have taken these two off at HT, put Aarons and Thauvin on, pushed Perez up front with Mitrovic and Wijnaldum back in the middle, and had a right go with 442. The extra center midfielder we had didn't make a jot of a difference, and I would have much rather played a more expansive game using more of the pitch. Really could have won this.

Mick Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I hope we start next week with the same team apart from Sissoko replacing Colback and Thauvin or Aarons replacing Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 on the other side man utd looked clueless in attack, hitting the post aside krul was hardly making saves left right and centre Two world class saves from Hernandez and Mata. Colo blocked three shots as well that were on target. How anyone can say Colo wasn't MOTM is beyond me. He saved it from being a spanking. Any goal keeper in the league would have saved from Mata , Krul did fuck all other than Hernandez save. A lot of shots+possession doesn't = spanking.

jimmymag Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Colo looked his old self by the way. He did. Let's see how he gets on against a more physical attack before getting carried away. Oh, and he turned his back on that last block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looked much better defensively when Wijnaldum dropped alongside Colback and Anita sitting, think McClaren will realise pretty quickly that 4231 just doesn't work with these players. I would have probably collapsed if that counter went in Let out a big oooooo and fell over and layed down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So unlucky not to win it. Rooney is impotent. Man U a load of fart and no s***. Defensively we have been excellent. Not hung on by the skin of our teeth as much as the stats would suggest. We were organized and disciplined. Perez MOTM imo for dat tracking back!

Klaus Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Couldnt help myself but have a look on RTG Granted they thought well for a point, but fuck me mbemba looks like he can't stand up, thauvin looked toss, mortification not great. Another day and man u could have put 4 or 5 passed them. They were all over the place in the first half.

Nobody Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This team, Palace and the Mackem are the teams to beat this season. Mackems, Pardew, van Gaal and Froggy all deserve to rot. Out of the teams you mentioned you might get a point at home to Sunderland. No chance on Saturday. You were saying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Only seen the second half. Thought we looked organised, players working for each other. We looked like we had a plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I was wrong about not playing Taylor in the middle, he had some dodgy moments but he made up for them and Mbemba was class on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Favourite moment was certainly Thauvin mugging Shaw Easy to go around a man that's on the ground. Are you for real? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Can't complain about the point. They only had a couple ofgood chances, same as us really, but it's always worrying when you spend so much time that deep inviting pressure. Only takes ones mistake to lose it. Can't complain about any of the performances except Obertan, but that goes without saying. Would have loved to see Thauvin toe that in at the end. Still waiting to see what we're meant to be about going forward. We haven't really played football yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just amazed by how they've spent so much and 10 of their 11 starting players are fucking shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way man, they would have destroyed us. The extra man protected the key zone in front of Saylor and Colo were Mata, Rooney, Januzaj and even Depay were trying to break. No chance to get anything from that game with 4-4-2 And also Colo blocked Valencia's shot, which was a certain goal, with his back and had no idea. We were a bit lucky.

pedro111 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Brilliant performance. Fair to say fitness still a problem seeing how we faded in the last half hour? or was that just the fact we were playing man u? So promising from so many players. Props to Colocinni and Taylor. Shots fired back at their detractors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Saylor deserves some love today too. Good game man. Imagine if that was Willo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If this is any indication of what is to come then we're looking good. Once the new imports get up to speed and we shake off the cobwebs of our shit pre-season, around the 10 game mark we could look very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
