Rival Watch™ 2013/2014

Oveido has a suspected broken leg and has been rushed to hospital.

 

Is there any latest on Oveido?

Poor guy,what sort of challenge was it?

 

Just seen it. Definitely not just suspected. Awful injury. All the best to him.

 

**** me #bbcsalford have written an entire thesis on the Mata transfer

The BBC sports department since its move from London to Salford have become a national disgrace, their bosses have given them free reign to turn the site into an MUFC fanzone and to sneakily put a bias boot into their rivals.

So we just have to get used to it.

 

Interesting that nobody has said that Mata is not a good player but one of the reasons that Mourinho got rid of him is his reluctance to undertake defensive responsibilities. Now United still have a bloody great hole that you can drive a bus through in the centre of their midfield and Mata is not going to close it.

 

He's there to help with Utd's other epic failure: they can't score from open play

 

So loike most of us said about Salah - he may be a good player but he doesn't meet out urgent need! United are desperate for some steel in their centre

 

Or the spot!

 

According to matth's thread Utd now have the best attacking three in "Europe" and Christine and UIR agree.

 

And a whole new back line.

Fact is, with Shrek and RVP fit and the rise of Jacuzzi their attack is their strongest part

 

Who's that? RVP (won't play for Moyes) + Rooney (won't play without a massive new contract) + Mata (the record signing reserve) ?

They don't even have the best attacking 3 in Manchester

 

Think the other question is what three are they looking at?

RVP-----Rooney
----Mata----

If so, is that how Moyes plays? Is he not a 4-4-2 man? It is formidable no doubt but as you say, just have to look at City for what a trio, no a front 6 ****ing looks like!

 

But will RvP play. I don't know but the word on the street is that he's not injured so why is he not playing? It's certainly not a tactical matter.

 

For me, he came to play for Fergie and then he did one. Can easily see him go and they give his wages to Rooney.

 

Think this works...

 

Looks like this problem may be sorted

 

Because when he returned from injury the medical team said play for 60 minutes only but Utd were doing ****e as usual so Moyes couldn't afford to sub him.

 

So how is that going to be sorted?

 

connor coady is in the line up for sheffield utd on btsorts 1 for cup game.

be good to see how he is getting on, havent seen much of him lately.
