United Thread 2015/16

So if Rooney is injured they have 2 19 year olds (1 potentially out on loan imminently) & Fellaini as striker options. It's pretty brutal that.

To be honest though I see Fellaini causing teams far more problems than Rooney at the moment, he won't make any good runs, but (whilst he's a massive cnut) you have to give it him he does damage when in the box most of the time.

It's going to be a horrible match to watch with Liverpool lumping it to Benteke now they are missing their one creative player and United lumping it to Fellaini..

united will win, de gea with a blinder and depay and martial with the goals.

I'm hoping the De Gea plays like Simon Tracey as a fuck you and thanks for the pay rise.

And most of the damage will be to the cheek bones of opposition defenders!

Oliver will have his special red card ready for the dippers.

I imagined it did go back that far but I wasn't around then. ;-)

From the mail .... Exposing LVG's philosophy


"United’s players practised lumping long balls up to Fellaini for Herrera, plus wide men Memphis Depay and Juan Mata to feed off the knock downs on Friday."

F'in hilarious ....

People are obsessed with pretty football. Long passes, not to be confused with long hopeful clearences to Fellani was unplayable at times last season. You play to your strengths and Fellani is good in the air. Even we struggled against it last season.

Thankfully, Sky don't 'write' the scripts anymore.

People enjoy 'pretty' football because it's how the game should be played.
The long ball, playing to your strengths, is a tactic that you see in the lower divisions by teams who can't afford the top quality you see in the Premier League.
The fact that Utd have to resort to it after spunking nearly 300 million in a couple of years is just one more reason to laugh at them.

Aha likely true, he seems even more violent in the big matches, & being from Everton I wouldn't be surprised to see him elbowing the crap out of anyone who gets near him. Would love him to be sent off.
