Match Day Thread Manchester United vs Sunderland

You played with nine in the first half, judging by the reviews of rejectico Tia Maria's performance.

At least Herrera is getting games now

 

Cool.

Wheres Fabregas been the past few months anyway? He injured?

 

Same contract he had at Arsenal and Barca, he only has to play untill Dec 1st

 

Exactly why I wasnt to unhappy we didnt sign him. Great player until it gets to the business end at which point he goes awol.

I wouldnt have said no mind.

 

Ive noticed an increase in the speed of our play recently. An increase in the number of attempts and an increase in width too.

I approve of these changes.

 

I've watched the whole match. It is not as bad as I initially thought. From the BBC commentators (why are these ****ers so anti-United ?) you'd have thought that we stole the win. It was almost total domination except for the first 15 minutes (I agree with UIR here). The possession was 70+ and lots of attempts against a team which had come for a draw, therefore to defend at all costs. That's why they've had 13 draws the highest in the league. Many teams will find them difficult to beat.

LVG is very much into possession football, moving the ball well and controlling the game. The penetration and real chances were not quite there. There were lots of shots on goal. Not the best performance but quite the worst.

BBC ****ing commentators - that green **** is so biased it is unbelievable.

 

Aye, if you're going to buy a flat track bully, best to buy the flattest trackest bully around

 

Wonder if he will flash onto the screen tomorrow for a brief moment? No matic for Chelsea tends to mean Chelsea place a massive blackhole in front of the bus.

 

It was basically the same way as every other game except played a gear higher.

 

And looked a lot more comfortable playing that way.

 

And much easier to look good doing it against a team that sits back.

 

Interesting stat for Astro

Rooney became the first player in Premier League history to score 10 or more goals in 11 successive seasons today

 

We were playing a **** team..

 

Not really, most of this season we have never looked like getting through a team that sits back, today we looked like we could.

 

And every other game we have played good teams?

 

Not really mate. Teams we've played have been well organised defensively - that's not the same, they've been strong in midfield often able to turn defence into attack. Sunderland had none of that.

 

We should expect to beat teams like this.

I will get excited by it when we play well and win against decent teams.

 

They are tough to beat. Plenty of 0-0 draws this season. Once you score past them they tend to collapse though.

 

We have done against a good few of the top teams.

 

For now i am happy to get excited if we play well.
