He hasn't played on the left once yet. He's always played on the right.

I noticed him on the left in one of the friendlies. Think Nani may have been on as well though.

Actually, I think he was switched to the left when Nani got injured. He put Henríquez on the right for some reason.

Ninja'd out the Valencia there

.

He might have drifted across looking for the ball but he hasn't been placed out there or started there, it's more likely that Nani/Young will be the left with Valencia/Zaha on the right.

Is Zaha on the bench. We need to lose valencia.

Zaha and giggs coming on

Bucket · 9 Aug 2013 at 20:59

Great from Adnan and good determination from Lingard.

Robbo · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:02

Januzaj was great for the goal.

dmcg · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:04

play giggs as a striker for the lolz

Bucket · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:14

We've been much more impressive this half and Adnan is ridiculous.

fozzybear · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:14

What sort of contract is Januzaj on? Need to keep hold of him.

Wayn0r · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:15

Januzaj is gonna be a star. Looks so comfortable even at his age.

Has two years left I believe but there's been contract talks for quite some time and it's all come across as positive talks.

Bucket · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:26

Smalling been at fault for two goals tonight, poor.

vanandjuanunited · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:26

Whoops

vanandjuanunited · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:28

Wonder if scholes has been keeping fit

Robbo · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:29

Good points: Januzaj

Bad points: Everything else

Still, it's far from a first team.

vanandjuanunited · 9 Aug 2013 at 21:29

Maybe so but the passing and movement was shocking

Wouldn't say it was just Januzaj that was a good point.

Buttner/Fabio were good going forward also.

There were points when we were going forward that everyone was looking good. It's off the ball where we were very poor and leaky at the back.
