chrisley024:It's part of his learning curve. It's only too obvious because we haven't a solid team. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 9:41am On Jan 13, 2016 |
elampiro:What I mean is that it made most of their midfielders and forwards to push forward more. Had their defenders given no space, they would have hoofed it and lost the ball, their midfielders would have been denied the ball and they would retract same with their forwards to close the gap. Coloccini was in our half when he made the pass to Mitrovic that led to their 1st goal. We need two of our defenders back asap and a good RW if we're to make anything out of this season. |

chrisley024: We are saying almost same thing. This is how it started. I had to go review the build up to the goal.

Then followed by this. With Rooney dragged to extreme left while most of our players went to the box.
|
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:11am On Jan 13, 2016 |
With a triangle passing, they left Rooney behind and passed back to Colochini. We outnumbered them in our box, but they gained the upper hand because we were not organized.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:29am On Jan 13, 2016 |
We were 7 men against 3 Newcastle forwards in our box area and we conceded. That is unacceptable. Smalling got confused on where to stay, then he went to stay on attacking side of that guy that scored while he should be on the defensive side. With seven men behind a long ball, there shouldn't have been enough space for an opposition to utilize. This is what opposition had successfully done against us week in week out. I also wonder if the tactics was to allow the opposition space to utilize the ball while building with the intention of outnumbering them in our defensive area. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:34am On Jan 13, 2016 |
elampiro:Maybe he instructs his players to wait and try to intercept the ball instead of pressing the opponent. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chidexxy007(m): 12:03pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
chrisley024:still we should have defended better... no excuse for that. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chidexxy007(m): 12:30pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
Smalling and Fellaini cost us yesterday's game. Former was way way off form, maybe he needs some rest while the later is just a waste of space. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 12:36pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
Rooney is the problem. See how that other guy scored 2 goals and setup another last night. That guy even scored a confam long shot... Rooney needs to learn work 2 Likes |

SIRcumalot: I was referring to elampiro's observation that our midfielders were not moving more with the ball at their feet. Part of the Philosophy is that you should always pass to the next available player instead of moving far up-field with the ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 2:26pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
chidexxy007:I thought I watched a different Match after reading some comments praising Fellaini! Candidly speaking we lost the game due to presence of Fellani in the Midfield and the poor performances of Smalling! |

I said long ago that fellain was not United quality but Coogar and his guys were saying something else. Also with the way United is expected to play there is no place for Mata or Herrera and anyway I do not think they are good enough. It is easy to join the band wagon and make fun of Elampiro cos of his love for PACE and PAWA but that is exactly what this team needs. Carrick Herrera schweinsteiger and fellaini are hurting this team defensively. Too much pressure on d defenders because all our attackers and midfielders are shadow markers. Herrera who tries to get stuck in lacks both the strength and tackling technique to be of real help. We saw Depay tracking back yesterday only to be of no help and rather assisting the opponents. The buck stops at the desks of LVG and Woody cos it is criminal to spend so much money and have a team without a reliable central midfield ,no 7 and no reliable 10. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chidexxy007(m): 3:18pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
adeyemi2015:Every game he played as a CM, we get battered. Dude can't pass, tackle, defend.....dunno wat LVG sees in him dat makes him still play him. Offers nothing both in d defensive phase and attacking phase of the team.. see the link I posted |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 3:25pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
@afrodoc2 Na the whole midfield aside from Morgan you diss there |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 3:32pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
chidexxy007: Damning! This is exactly what i said after the match yesterday. He's not giving us anything other than disrupting our play. Teams now know how to play against him. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:35pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: Yes Midfield has 3 jobs 1) control tempo 2) contribute to attack with goals and assists and chances created 3) protect the defence In 2 and 3 it is an obvious fail. The 1 self it is this boring and impotent tempo control. I was never sold on Mata and Fellaini who are too extremist for my liking ( One is all power no skill or brain and the the other is all brain no power). Only thing they share in common is their propensity to move at the inverse of the speed of light. Carrick and Schweinsteiger ..... Watch the Arsenal match Das all. Herrera is a slightly above average player who appears so good because all around him is putrid. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dadehmola: 3:38pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
afrodoc2: We were told that his "magnetic chest control" is an asset to the team... ![]() ![]() afrodoc2: I actually believed Mata was gonna come good but the bitter truth is that - aside his goals & assists, I cannot remember the Spaniard influencing proceedings for us the way a £37m #10 should do ( even in matches in which he played in the hole.) TBH, Herrera has always struck me as an average player but I waited & waited for him to prove me wrong. As it is, my earlier assertion still stands. ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:44pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
chidexxy007: This is an eye opener. The worst is when you play him beside Schweinsteiger. Schederline and Schweinsteiger are our best pair for now. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 3:52pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
@afrodoc2 and dadehmola where una due yesterday when I was been corn holed on Herrera matter ? I'll still keep fellani for when will try long ball style in some situations but his performance yesterday no help at all 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:52pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
Dadehmola:. Most times one does not closely study players until the come to one's team An example is Valencia and his dead left foot, another is Anderson and his inability to shoot with his instep. Mata has zero pace,zero power and close to zero dribbling ability,his right foot his zero and he can't shield the ball. He is good at padding his stats but he is not a major factor. |

SIRcumalot: I did not sleep to watch the yeye match, match was 6.45 am local time here Immediately that dummett shot entered I just went to bed |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:56pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
Dadehmola:. I don't blame them Sha I blame Coogar that snake oil salesman who would sell ice to the Eskimos and sand to the Tuaregs. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dadehmola: 3:57pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: I bin no dey like table Herrera matter for here because it seemed as if nobody saw any limitations in his ability. I have never really been impressed with him but because of the "love" wey hin get for here, I started looking for his "greatness" by force. ![]() Unfortunately, I still dey find those "qualities" that make him a "top-player" ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chidexxy007(m): 3:59pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
united 5th in the log.... may God help us. |

raumdeuter: NTA that year. ![]() ![]() Those times wey dem dey show soaps like "kiddies vision 101, "I need to know" , "Beyond our dreams" etc |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chidexxy007(m): 4:04pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
elampiro:Yea, because they both know when to push forward and when to sit back but, shweini and carrick, schweini and fellaini= DISASTER..... Schneiderlin+fellaini= confusion cos they both get in each other's way as evident last night because fellaini is a bee popping up everywhere committing fouls trying to form busy.. doesn't cover for schneiderlin whenever he pushes forward, instead its Herrera who drops deep while the supposedly other CM is fooling himself in and around the LW... . . . In summary, Fellaini should be shipped out. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:09pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
