Bloody Baines and his mod style. Who scores two free kicks in a game? The big news was that we scored twice. I couldn't see where the goals might come from but well done to Morrison again. Top drawer that boy.

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:32 am

Tough luck Soddy. Lukaku coming on at half time was the game changer for me

And two top class free kicks from Baines of course Euro Division LXV - Page 12 3559488474

Anichebe-

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:36 am

I'm not sure there is a keeper in the world who would have got to the second Baines free kick. It was inch perfect

by Guest Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:38 am

So things we learned at the weekend:

- City look quality
- Arsenal look quality
- Chelsea look quality (when they feel like it)
- Spurs can grind out wins even when they're not playing well
- Liverpool still throw away points to teams they should be beating
- United look rubbish

Thing that's disappointed me most this weekend is David Moyes. Never has a football manager come across as sad, pathetic, whiny and irresponsible as he has this weekend.

David Moyes wrote:We wanted to win more of those games. We have to do that but maybe if these games were a bit later I might have had a better understanding of the players and the situation at the club. I think any manager taking over with the run of fixtures we have had would have found it difficult.

You frakking plum. You want easy games at the start of the season so your team can gel? Should have bought your players early in the window, like your neighbours did. You know, the team that looks settled. And that bought the players it needed to, in the positions they needed. You think you've had it tough? Arsenal have had it just as tough.

I used to like David Moyes, but getting the United job has gone to his head. He has no clue what he's doing.

Anichebe+/- set up our third goal at the weekend. Okay, so Jack Colback playing at LB was constantly out of position, and was nowhere to be seen on that goal, but still Euro Division LXV - Page 12 3559488474

Morgan Amalfitano looks like a playa.

Is that some slight praise for Big Vic (Lukaku+)?

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:42 am

So things we learned at the weekend:

Don't give away free kicks on the edge of the area v Everton and secondly, why the hell has he been letting Mirallas take them for the last 3 games

by Guest Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:54 am

To wind up Leon Osman, clearly.

I hate Anichebe, the only reason he has an assist is because the LB was awol. I would have expected him to set up that chance so no, no praise. Yet.

by FIFA Diva Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:05 am

Morning

Azzy you think you're the Stan Collymore of V2 coming out with controversial stuff so you get a reaction.

I really like Baines even though he may have wanted to join United he has been absoulety professional and got on with it. Footballers need to follow his lead.

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:09 am

Statistically (Opta stats) Baines has been the third highest performing player in the Premier League this season so far. So even if you don't give too much weight to Opta stats, that still shows he has not been distracted or dropped his performances despite any transfer going ons.

by **Hero** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:14 am

Don't know why he'd want to join atm, would be joining a club lower down the league and one that's equal on points with Hull.

by FIFA Diva Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:16 am

You reckon that was his last chance making a big move?

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:20 am

Nah. It might even work in his favour not moving to United. If he carries on like he is doing then, he might get interest from the big European clubs instead.

Everton the only unbeaten side left. Ozils hit the ground running. Spurs still struggling to break down (good) sides

What's controversial?

- Moyes complains about the fixture list
- Moyes complains that his team haven't had a chance to settle
- Their title rivals haven't said a word
- Their title rivals did their business early
- Moyes is a crybaby

I think that all stands up as fact Viva, nothing controversial there.

Fer was a bit disappointing at the weekend Olly Sad

Looked average at best to me. Was the occasional glimmer, but was too anonymous for the most.

I finished that game quite glad we didn't spend the best part of 9 mil on him

He started off well, but in the end for some bizarre reason we just went with trying to cross the ball in, rather than create through the middle like we did in the first 15 minutes when we were most successful with Howson/Fer running the show.

He did alright, but his alright was still enough for him to be the best midfielder on the park

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:35 am

He was poor in my mind. RVW too. Redmond was your best player IMO

Eh? What game where you watching? Redmond was completely locked up by Bacuna all day and his tracking back was terrible. By far his worst game for us.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:40 am

But RVW was pants. I put that mainly down to me putting a fiver on him first scorer at 7/1.

Also he was limping pretty badly the last 15 mins and there is rumors he is on crutches and out for two months

by Trebs Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:43 am

United were so bad yesterday, Young and Valencia weren't up to scratch, Carrick was left with no support in midfield, Rooney tried but he was the only one going forward who looked like he could do something.

Yesterday proved to me that Jonny Evans and Tom Cleverley have to be starting.

Never bet on your own team

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:44 am

Carrick was anonymous.

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:45 am

Is trebs the only person alive who sees a redeemable quality in Cleverley?

Made up for it on the NFL last night. Had Joique Bell, Jimmy Graham, Trent Richardson and Kenbrell Thompkins all to score TD's anytime

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:48 am

I'd genuinely rather have Bradley Johnson play instead of Cleverley

by Guest Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:48 am

GSC wrote:Is trebs the only person alive who sees a redeemable quality in Cleverley?

Roy Hodgson too. Maybe they are the same person? Trebs is about that age.

If United need to start Cleverley, I can't see them finishing top 6, never mind top 4. He's that awful.

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:55 am

I didn't say he was good or it was his best game, I said he was your best player IMO. Although maybe Ruddy and Garrido were your best players on reflection.

On Redmond though, when he got the ball, he looked like he could be threatening, but he was isolated. That was more down to his team mates than himself

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:56 am

Ruddy would've been my MOTM for us, says a lot about how crap the rest of our team was when he largely a spectator for the 2nd half.

Still dunno how Hooper missed that chance 6 yards out in the 88th minute. I was almost in tears at this point

So other than Rooney, can you name a United player who played better than him yesterday? Doubt it.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:57 am

A lot of Norwich fans want Gus Poyet. I weep

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:59 am

A new game....

If Cleverley is the answer, what the hell is the question...?

Redmond always looks threatening, but for in his 5 games so far it's pretty clear he's not ready yet. The end product/decision making isn't really there and defensively he's a liability. Pilkington is the superior player at the minute, plus I think Redmond would be massively threatening coming on against tiring FB's.

When the ball hits you in row Z in the Stretford End, who took the shot?

by FIFA Diva Mon Sep 23, 2013 11:07 am

Calling him a cry baby and having digs at United every single week. Moyes will prove everyone wrong he is a top class manager and will be a success at United.

Baines will do well abroad and I'd like to see him joining one of the bigger European side proving that we have players that can play abroad.

Clevrley is a fine player and was one of the few players that showed anything yesterday. I'm not saying he is world class but he is not the Poopie player you lot are making him out to be.

That doesn't say much when everyone else was terrible and he came on when City stopped trying

by sodhat Mon Sep 23, 2013 11:11 am

He wasn't bad when he came on but by that stage I think City had checked out and just sat on their lead. Hard to say how good he'd have been had he started.

So it's League Cup week, who do you want your teams to play? First team? Reserves? Youth?

I'd like Albion to play this side against Arsenal:

Daniels
Reid - Dawson - Lugano - Popov
Yacob - Dorrans
Rosenberg - Morrison - Sinclair
Berahino

Yeah, we're going out.

by **Afro** Mon Sep 23, 2013 12:11 pm

I'd like any side that include Deulofeu
