i reckon last season, united would've won that , somehow! something seemed to be missing for them today. ok it was the first game and everton clearly wanted it more but rooney never stepped up. warey of RVP watching him?
 
RVP didn't look like he fitted in at all. Looked a bit lost. Man U's system is gonna need some serious tweaking to accommodate him.

Kagawa looks okay. But he's certainly not the answer to MU's midfield problems. I'm surprised Fergie didn't go for Sahin.

He's looked off the pace all pre-season. Something is definitely amiss.

Na.

i dont follow united ever day but know what i read from united fans saying you needed more important players then a new striker.

And how come your cb are all injured again? did you not have the same issue last season?

It does not sound like a one off to me and therefore you should have or should bring in a new CB that is less injury prone.

Oh come on it's just accepting mediocrity. Like every time Scholes acts like a ******* moron and nearly gets sent off everyone is going "oh scholes classic" "he's such a scamp" If we always start so poorly then why aren't we changing the way we prepare for a season?

The thing is Van Persie will do the same thing Rooney (and later Van Persie) did...stand in the middle wondering why we're playing a crossing game with the players we have. The likes of Jagielka must have been ******* laughing, like a training ground game for them.

With players like Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie, Cleverley we should be able to go through the middle where we can actually use our strikers.

play like arsenal then? :D

problem with that is teams will back the middle of the park and unless your barca, you aint getting through most PL's 10 man defence around the box

What would Fellaini cost? Fergie should put a bid in.

Serious question because he is a great player but where would we play him? Everton's current system suits him, you wouldn't get that kind of performance by sticking him in midfield, not saying he couldn't dominate in there but chances are they'd be far less high balls with his back to goal for him to be able to bring down or flick on

I said a while ago Everton will do well this season, Jelavic, Fellaini and Pienaar for me are right up there with the best attacks in the league, such a handful.

I don't know the individual reasons but it's most likely rotten luck.

We didn't need a new striker but when one of the best strikers in the world becomes available and wants to join your club, you generally should try and get him. Especially when Rooney is the only reliable striker we have and he seems to be struggling.

People say we need a CM who is very versatile. A box to box one, perhaps. Fellaini. :p

CM, in a Yaya Toure sort of role. I think that would work.

shamikebab continues his form of being the most grounded united fan on the forum

this is a very good point. there's no denying scholes' pedigree but one would have thought he'd know how to stop being so rash by now. could've easily been sent off tonight, then fellaini really would've had a fun time.
