Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [10th - 14th January 2014]

Like when we got raped in midfield against chelsea and he played

At least we tried to play decent football against Chelsea and lost to a better side. This has been dire, and we're playing Stoke.

Henderson's gone back in to his shell, Lucas playing ahead of Gerrard isn't working and Gerrard's trying to do everything and forgetting the basics. The balance is all wrong.

Perhaps because they were better

We always needed a different style of midfielder and never got it, we should have 4 goals though countinho shooting boots have been missing for his last 5 games

Really hope Lucas and Gerrard are swapped at half time, can see this getting even worse if we stick with this tactic.

Yep, only have to look at yourself and how quickly you went from:

He needs more time, squad is a mess to there are no positives at all about him and his team and set up.

I think there will be too much pressure to get rid of him. Gimp is the only person on here (united fan) that's seems to have seen this will take time. Plenty of others started from that point but seem to have given up already.

I think far too many fans have been spoilt by the success, a period of Arsenal type success the last 8 years might buck them up a bit.

I remember the post-Busby years and have always said Moyes will need time, unfortunately too many United supporters have never experienced lean years and want instant success.

With who? Allen isn't there and rest of bench won't make much difference. Rodgers has been great for us but he didn't get the right amount of players in we needed during summer

Meant with each other so Lucas is the DM and Gerrard further forward

He means position I'm guessing, Lucas hasn't done much further forward and Stevie isn't collecting the ball and getting it out the way Lucas does. He has been okay defensively though bar the slip, actually gone out to players and tackled them, something some of our defenders could learn doing.

Fair enough my mistake still my rants right haha

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Joke decision tbh, I'd be livid if that went against us. Simply out muscled him.

3-2 Gerrard

Stepped across him

I'd be furious if our defenders did that

 

[manic111]

Hmm...went down a bit easy tbh.

That's something I don't like about Sterling - he gets ahead of someone, then slows down so he can stand them up.

 

[MrJohnSherry]

Gerrard, cool as a cucumber.

 

[johnny cass]

Jesus no penalty

 

[Mark1989]

Wasn't a pen but who cares not me woot goal

 

[Robbo]

Has to go down as a dive with very minimal contact.

 

[manic111]

Very soft penalty - he's stepped across him, but it's minimal.

 

[Trusty]

Has to go down as a dive with very minimal contact.

Definitely. Really does my head in this cheating.

 

[Purdy]

Still due a pen from the Suarez punch

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Cissokho on a yellow, would probably sub him for Kelly now to keep us at full strength and add a bit of height.

Niall quim not happy
