this is terrible from LVG really. He is getting shitload of time to fix this disfunctioning defense and still our backline looks pathetic.

didnt get embarrassed at least. We are gonna get annihilated against chelsea

by B-Mac Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:51 am

Mata came off...game changed in our favour

pls LVG....Falcao forever....Mata bench forever

by RED Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:53 am

2-2 FT

Feels like a defeat.

2 frigging shots they had on target and they score from it.

We hit the post, dominated them in general.

So frustrating.

Our defence will be our downfall this season. We make every offence look great and are making too many costly errors, which we get punished from with clinical precision.

meh..

mcnair in his two appearances has impressed me more than jones could ever have.

So who is shittier. Jones, Smalling or Evans? Rolling Eyes

by B-Mac Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:56 am

how did we keep scrub Mata over Shinji Sad

Jones first game in a month...and was our best defender until he got hurt...let's relax on the knee jerk

by RED Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:58 am

Januzaj was so dissappointing.

But the biggest culprit was Mata. He really is nothing special, is he?

Watching him right now brings me a brand new appreciation for Rooney. He is miles better than Mata.

And Falcao must start from now on. We looked another level when he came on.

Blind was brilliant though. Fantastic player.

Hopefully Di Maria is ok. Should be.

by Glory Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:01 am

yes Juan Mata can leave the club now. We paid 40m for him. Just think about it. 40 frigging million. May be he is a different type of player and works well only in a certain system. But even then that was sheer unacceptable performance from the lad. <5 out of 10. How the hell he is going to continue at the club after coming up with something like this, I am wondering.
and Kagawa havent played this bad ever imo for us and we sold him off. Bravo LvG!!

by B-Mac Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:03 am

ya Adnan didn't look himself tonight, maybe it's lack of games or confidence

but again one game isn't going to change my opinion that he is a special player then needs to get in more games for us

by Busby Babe Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:06 am

Tbh, Januzaj is 19, he'll have bad games. What is unacceptable is RvP and Mata

At Rooney's worst plays badly yet get's an assist or a goal. That is Mata at his best. That's how much on another level Rooney is to him.

Yea I agree that. But he is not even doing the basics right. He is a good player with a wide range of brainfart moments from what I have seen of him. And i dont think being away from the game is an excuse for shitty positioning he will on a consistent basis come up with. That is just basic footballing skill you need to have. And mcnair is more mature and clever than jones in that regard already. He for me reads the game well and would have never committed up like jones did today to concede a silly goal.

by RED Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:20 am

Yeah Adnan is a young lad, so I'll cut him slack due to this being his first performance in a while. But I expected him to grab the opportunity and do better.

Our defence better get their act together for the Chelsea match.

Oh Anders, what a man :wub:

by Glory Tue Oct 21, 2014 4:33 pm

Looking back I think its not that bad of a result honestly speaking. Reasons I am saying this are.

1. WBA this season is not at all a punching bag of sorts for teams and they have been especially good at home.
2. 12 points from 8 games. Thats bad. True. But if we take a closer look, its actually 10 points from last 5 or even further closer 7 points from last 3. And the last 3 has been against west ham, everton and wba. 2 in form teams and 1 originally good but right now shite kinda team. So We have got 7 out of possible 9 from them. That as per me is not at all bad. and is quite good actually. Its first 3 matches we were shite, as we got only 2 points there against real scrub teams.
But from thereon the graph has only gone up( the leicester result was kinda once in a blue moon freak, which we can dismiss as an exception)
So the thing is We are on the right track.
But the next 4 games are indeed the biggest test. And I am back to being once again optimistic (for chavs) after the night sleep.

The defence and LVG starting the tame RVP is what cost United these three points.

First goal Shaw runs up to press Berahino (?) but Blind is too far behind to get back in time and they score a nice goal from outside the box, nothing Rojo could've done. Second goal Jones keeps them onside on a counter and they score. Any other shots they had?? Because I can't remember any

On the offensive front United played without a CF because RVP is so crap. Rafael and DiMaria played some nice crosses into the box but he got nowhere near them because he is so lazy. Lvg should continue with this formation but have Falcao there instead of RVP

I don't know if we watched the same game because I thought Januzaj and Jones had good games especially Jones bar that mistake. No standout player this game but thought Rojo was pretty solid. Oh and Mike Dean did good to not fall for their dives

I have to mention though, I felt United lost the ball needlessly with some awful passes and dwelling on the ball. Need to sort that out before next week. But barring the result thought United played well

by B-Mac Tue Oct 21, 2014 5:15 pm

i just hope ander is fully fit for chelsea next week, because the ribs clearly effected him today....i could tell about 5 mins in he wasn't right

by B-Mac Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:22 pm

No Costa and perhaps no Remy for Chelsea Sunday hmm

by Busby Babe Thu Oct 23, 2014 12:33 am

Costa is meant to be back early November, so he just happens to be coming back the game after we play them. Think Mourinho is lying and he'll back for our game, him or Remy will play against us imo.

by Glory Thu Oct 23, 2014 12:43 am

heard Di maria and Herrera are doubtful :facepalm:

and there goes our chances of getting something out of this.

by Busby Babe Thu Oct 23, 2014 12:46 am

Club is confident Di Maria is fit, will just take scan for precaution, but he should play. Herrera should be fine too.
