Rival Watch™ 2013/2014

Apparently Van Persie might be out for another six weeks. How has Moyes managed to cripple him within 6 months of being at the club ??

I know he used to be injury prone but he's played 38 games the last two seasons. Maybe if Moyes kept some of Ferguson's staff they could've told him how they'd managed to keep him from getting injured?

 

Six minutes in and Rafael has faked injury and Vidic has dived in the box

 

Ring bearer.

 

How the **** do you pull it back for a free kick when Utd already played advantage and had a shot on target?

 

This South American commentator I'm hearing wants to blow his load over Januzaj.

 

Man U are playing some of the best footie I've seen from em this season #jinx

 

Shelvey, maybe one we let go too soon? Frustrating no doubt but at least has a creative thought
#betterthanallentho

 

Carrick studs up right through the back of Cañas. No foul.

 

I think, as rumour has it, it was actually Shelvey really pushing for the move rather than us forcing him out, he wanted first team footie, and tbh he's now getting it! still not good enough for us but a useful squad player

 

Gone awfully quiet round here, are we all watching, waiting for the next bit of Manc comedy?

 

He is doing well at Swansea, maybe should have loaned him to a recently promoted team this season rather than selling him.

 

Man Utd fans moaning at the players after 29 mins, a sign that they are losing/have lost patience with Moyes?

 

That's right, I think we had something similar with players like Crouch, Garcia, etc who just wanted to play more. Still raw of course but when I watch him as a CM and I watch Allen, one looks to have ( with the ball at his feet) a lot more about him! Fair enough though if he wanted to get more PT.

Bit cat and mouse this, Moyes does not want to lose this, feel like they should be suffocating Swansea and not letting them "ole" the ball about.

 

I think he's the type of player that thrives when the team is built around him and he's the main man. That's not something we could offer him as Gerrard was doing what he wants to do but better.

He's got loads of freedom at Swansea and its really suited him and helped his development as a player. He had to move backwards to a smaller club to move forward.

 

Welbeck

 

You can tell in this game, against United, they are looking to him to build the attack through the middle. Again, good for him for just wanting to play more and develop.

Alright, been fun but between Swansea x United or Barca x A. Madrid, think I will watch the game loaded with quality!

 

Easiest chance of the game falls to...Welbeck.

So, still 0-0

 

That Welback miss was funny.

Man Utd 34% possession at home against Swansea

I think David Moyes has succesfully converted them into an anti-football team.
