Phil Jones is a very good Center defender, unfortunately injury is stalling him. There is absolute calm to our defence since his return. He makes it looks easy and cool. He played the last 25 minutes of this match limping, hope it is not going to be back to the clinic.


We have head to head advantage over Feyenoord and Fernabache. If only we drew at Fernabache, we would have been sure of winning the group.

Good football from the lads today.

there's a reason this Lingard is well liked by our coaches... he just scores n scores. He may not be good dribbling and all dat but he makes some decisions that should impress any manager

Yea it will.. He on a very long way from achieving full match fitness but 3games in a row now for him is really commendable as i can't remember when last he achieved that.. West Ham would provide a sterner test for him though..

Let’s hope first he is not injured already.

only a mad man would compare both. At least Lingard takes the game serious unlike Depay that sometimes aids the opponent by his lackadaisical play.

If things don't change with Depay by January i believe we should offload him, it is not going to happen for him in this club. Maybe it is not him but just the timing, same thing happened with Forlan.

Valencia sha. Stay on his right and he's rendered clueless.

@ elampiro, you still think he should be pushed forward

He tried na. There were many bodies in front of him today. He still delivered many decent crosses.

Mkhitaryan sha!!!! cool
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MrTA(m): 11:14pm On Nov 24, 2016
Missed the game but just saw the goals and quick highlights. Looks like Mikitaryan has finally arrived. Unlucky not to score. Will need some more games to get fully up to date.

Valencia is average playing as a RW, that has been confirmed already. Let him continue at RB where he is very,very good.
There is a difference between playing as an overlapping RB running into space with the opposing winger as your primary marker and playing as a RW with the defence set up against you and the opposition full back man marking you.

I can swear on my Ex's Nipplé Valencia didn't mean that pass.

How do you know that? He probably meant it, I just reviewed the goal on youtube. Lingard was the only one who could run into that space.

And people will come here and start insulting Lingard. I would have Lingard in my squad rather than Depay.....when it comes to team play and intelligence as well as tactical IQ they are not mates.
If only Lingard has the talent to match his endeavors, dude gives his all but sometimes it's not enough especially against the very the top teams...I like him as a sub tbh.

But he did it in in three seasons in the past. The most important thing is being in form. Even great wingers like Ribery sometimes look clueless in some matches. Recently we see Mahrez struggle. We see Martial, Rashford, etc struggle in the wing.

Looking at it from another angle, he would be less fearless to adventure forward. Playing as a right back and overlapping comes with risks which was why he didn't want to adventure today with many men trying to block him.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:24pm On Nov 24, 2016
Pogba played well today. I believe everybody played well, our poorest player was Zlatan IMO but even he had his good moments.
He dominates aerial tussles, has great technique and link up play but has 2 big issues for now, lack of pace( which can't be corrected) and the Cavanesque period he is going through ( can be corrected).

He's always excellent, but Dudes only care about him scoring - not assisting or holdup plays!

I can't fault your position on Jones, he has been rock solid since his return to the team...I'm looking forward to the period where we'll have all our players fit and on form.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by adebayo201: 11:27pm On Nov 24, 2016
love the fluidity played between Mkhi, Mata and Rooney... i still think Mkhi will do well playing in the hole and interchanging position with Mata...

I play RB and have seen too many training sessions to know a lucky pass when I see one...Even the BT commentator said that pass wasn't meant for Lingard.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:31pm On Nov 24, 2016
The thing about Zlatan is his ability to drop into pockets of space and allow the likes of Mata, Mhki and Rooney take up striking positions, He continuously leaves the opposition CBs confused as to whether to follow him or maintain their position.
I still say "Ibra ahead of Rashford"

Since 2012 when AV wore the no 7 jersey he has not been the same attacking player. He has practically no left leg, depends too much on pace and not enough on guile, and as a result is quite predictable. PLUS he does not score enough goals and this season we need prolific attacking players cos Zlatan won't score enough on his own.
And when we have Mikki, Mata, Rashford and Lingard queuing up for places it would be criminal to play him in that RW position when we have possibly better options there and have no dependable RB.

Who was the pass meant for, a Feyenoord player?

Valencia had an odd day compared to his previous outings, buh tryna discredit him for that pass is not gonna fly.
