Manchester United

Is that like when we were in for Smalling?

Just goes to show that possession means nothing. Once again we dominated the game but could not put it away. Missing a penalty did not help. Looking at the players it is so obvious that to compete with teams like Chelsea you have to have top players. Rooney playing his best might make the starting team at Stamford Bridge and perhaps De Gia, but apart from those two, no other player would make it. If LVG is serious about challenging for the title then he will have to get rid of at least five of the team that played today plus a few more that were on the bench. Rooney and RVP were the only players that looked like it today.

I could bitch about our team for forever but just briefly, the refs are not doing us any favours. How was no one from West brom booked today?? Outrageous.

I haven't been happy with recent results wither but I see no need to overreact. The goal wasn't to compete for the title this season.

Nothing unless you can score...

I am ecstatic!

He has a great goal scoring record for a young winger. It seems like he can bring something we really need. I'm not so much worried about bringing in another centre forward. I think we still need more cover in midfield for next season.

Glad that deal eventuated!

Adnan out now? Surely

I don't think so. I just think that's the level of depth we want.

Young, Mata and Januzaj would be the ones I would have on the bench.

We need to put Januzaj out on loan. No point selling a young talent like that.

yeah it would be a bummer if he scored a goal against  you the season after next

Yeah if he goes it'll definitely be a loan. What about Falcao?

Nothing has changed much this week. A bit lucky at times today. De Gea was outstanding and he is the reason we got all the points. Our defenders are once again the weakest part of the team and until LVG gets this right then we have no chance of competing with the likes of Chelsea. Evans and Smalling are just too awful to watch at the moment. Surely can't be two  worse defenders in the league.

Hopefully Chelsea will stick it to Liverpool tonight and we will be be in the CL

I'm sure sunderland would swap you Evans and Smalling for Brown and O'Shea.

You could be right, but there might not be much in it apart from age. I never rated Brown, but was sorry to see O'Shea go.

I know Fellaini scored the winner but he was an absolute ghost until then. I feel like we are trying to play possession football with 10 men. Seeing as we are a man down in that department we then we we resort to just nobbing it into the box Fellaini decides to turn up.

LVG must have thought he was not that good as he subbed him.

Smalling was injured

Must be the best kept secret at Utd then, as there is no mention of it in any news I have read.

I found it eventually. He had cramp.

Didn't think i had dreamt it but 5am is ot my best time... I'd just remembered that a commentator or article had said "all 3 subs were forced"

Know the feeling--- it was 3am for me.

Liverpool 4 – Palace 0

United 0 – Arsenal 4

Stoke 0 – Liverpool 5

Hull 2 – United 0

Depay is a good start and is good to see that LVG wont be beaten to his targets.

Need to sign two CMs now, as we only have 4 natural DM / CMs in the squad. No more of this Rooney/Mata playing there. Yes Di Maria could play there, but not in his current form.

Then we only need to buy if we sell first. 
No need to get a CB as we already have Smalling Jones Evans Rojo plus McNair and Blackett - Evans could be sold
No need to get a RB as we already have Valencia Rafael plus McNair and Jones can play there - Rafael could leave
No need for wingers
No need for forwards unless we don't keep Falcao. RVP could also leave as he does not match his wages anymore.

oh and keep De Gea. thats a must. give him anything he wants

We definitely need a forward; Falcao and RvP are both not up to the standard we need anymore to compete for the title, and Wilson is far too inexperienced. I would not be surprised if they both left and we bought a couple of new strikers in, Cavani could be likely. Will be interesting to see what happens to Chicharito.

$100 at the TAB for these results should win you Millions.

I think max payout is $250k isn't it?

As if we will beat you 4-0 at OT.

Have faith!

Last time we played in a 4-0 at OT it was the other team scoring 4 :(

Nope.

Performance of Utd, Arsenal, City and the steep rise and equally steep decline of LFC doesn't bode well or anyone challenging Chelski next season. What say you United fans?
