The giddy heights of 6th, 7 points behind chelsea

Then wait for Swansea, AV and Southhampton to drop points and UTD will be in the top 4 going for the title. Chelsea better hope Costa doesn't get injured.

And you had better hope the meds don't wear off its 3rd at best for you lot

Let's see if we beat Leicester first before getting the party poppers out...

Genuinely exciting attacking force now United.


Will be entertaining.



(and we are going to win the World Cup...)

 

[Trusty]

I've mostly kept my mouth shut as 99% of fans are reactionary and it's irritating.

I think it's more to do with the fact that you produce wall of texts when the team loses but can't even murmur a well done or that was a good goal when they won yesterday.

 

[el_dazza]

Anyone actually know how bad this virus hit AV? Could just be an excuse (doesnt sound like it however), but not convinced Arsenal would have scored three unanswered without it

I don't think the result would have been different but having half our squad affected clearly dragged us down.

 

[Robbo]

MUFC: De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Blackett, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Falcao, Rooney, van Persie

subs: Lindegaard, Shaw, Smalling, Fletcher, Mata, Valencia, Januzaj

Falcao. Hope RvP does a better job today.

 

[Rusty0611]

Surprised to see Mata dropped. I thought that he's done alright so far this season.

 

[fez]

No idea why we would play all three of RvP, Rooney and Falcao. Drop RvP or Rooney and play Mata. RvP hasn't looked on the pace at all this season.

 

[The Running Man]

Surprised to see Mata dropped. I thought that he's done alright so far this season.

Falcao time! Quite an attacking trio.

 

[Stewy]

RvP has been awful this season

 

[Robbo]

RvP has got to perform in this game, he should be more or less match fit now and has to play a lot better. I really don't think he's lost it, but he's low on confidence or something.

 

[Robert1986]

How can you say that so early on? I think we have just a good of a chance as Chelsea at winning the title. Things can change very quickly in football. A few new signings in Jan to strengthen our defence and we are right up there.

 

[Nate75]

I think it's a touch of cba at the moment with RvP.

With the recent new arrivals I'm expecting to see him hungry sooner rather than later.

We'll see though...

 

[Craterloads]

Interesting to see how United look in their second outing effectively. Echo above, suprised mata has been dropped considering RVP form of late. Guess LVG is givin RVP game time to get back to his best.

Is Shaw back yet?

 

[Stewy]

On the bench.

Indeed. Mata has scored a couple and whilst he isn't the fastest man on Earth I would have thought it would be better to have him playing in Falcao and Rooney rather than Di Maria trying to play in Rooney, Falcao and RvP.
