Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I was at the first home game of the season when Chelski played without any strikers, it was a dreadful game. Somehow don't see this afternoons game being much different. Even if United got hammered it would make no difference to the managers position, United don't go through managers like some clubs do.;)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I'm not sure sure United will get 'hammered' - it's always possible with Moyes - but I can't see us winning today. This year's top 4 will be without United.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I favour a draw, which helps neither team, but will help arsenal and man city

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

United line-up:

De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Carrick, Valencia, Januzaj, Young, Welbeck.

Subs: Giggs, Smalling, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Cleverley, Fletcher, Kagawa.

:banghead:

3-nil to Chelsea.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Man Utd have not lost for the last 7 games away so l see a draw as the favourite for today as United have a good record here.

---------- Post added at 15:32 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------

Man Utd still have enough strength in depth to get 4th spot even though they are going through a difficult time.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

We need a strong attack threat but there's no sign of that in today's team. Welbeck hasn't impressed me yet other than being in the right place at the right time occasionally this season and Januzaj is still young and can't be relied upon. Nobody else in that team offers a credible threat.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Man City will take some stopping for the title as there are formidable up front and have a strong midfield as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

if it was my money, i would buy some decent defenders...that said..if it was my money, i wouldn't be here :D

The league table is looking a bit surreal. Middle of the table teams could consist of Man utd, newcastle and southampton. Bottom is 10th place Aston Villa, and top of the table is 6th place upwards.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

2-0 Shocking defending there.

Man Utd can still get a place in Europe...they aren't that bad

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

They can indeed as l still expect them to finish 4th.

Oh, i was thinking Europa cup. But yes, 4th is still a possibility

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I never thought in my lifetime I'd say I'd rather have Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko and Gouffran than Manchester United's midfield :erm:

We'll be looking back at this day in 20 years laughing at the people who doubted Moyes whilst United celebrate winning the Johnstone's paint trophy.

"
A guy called Tubby, you would have thought he would be made to fill the gaps :)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

But sir it's all Fergie's fault! He left poor Moyes with a dire squad that only won the top league in England last year!

That bloody Ferguson eh. But Moyes didn't have much time to buy amazing players. Did he or did he not spend £30m on a corner flag with an afro?

And Rafael should have gone there as that was worse then Vidic's foul.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

absolutely correct

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Moyes should have gone too.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Totally, and not first time he has been that poor. Man Utd feeling the pressure starting to play dirty. All that is missing is a rooney kicking someone off-the-ball

Everton news
Lacina Traore is due to have medical at Everton.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Don't really follow English football that closely, but haven't you been without Rooney and Van Persie for large amounts of the season? Leaves a pretty big hole in the team.

In saying that thought Man Utd could have done way better than Moyes.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Man Utd's problems go much deeper then that as they have two static and safe midfielders whilst their defence is a shadow of what it once was.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

RVP has been largely anonymous in the games he's played and even with Rooney we've played like Liverpool of the 90s.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

its amazing how the refs are missing these

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2014/01/30.jpg

Kolo Toure could have gone yesterday as well for a two footed challenge.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The worst thing about today was that we controlled the game for large periods, most of the game in fact. There is just no final ball at all, they're relying on Januzaj to create everything and its not going to happen every game for someone so inexperienced. Two awful decisions from the ref at the end, it was as if he knew he ballsed up the Vidic decision and let Rafael stay on, ridiculous.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Souness - Man Utd need three players
Hoddle - They need to rebuild totally
Neville - Moyes will be given plenty of time

Juve rejected a loan bid already, they want to get a full transfer done. Arsenal to now bid for a loan with view to buy. I doubt it'll get accepted tbh. Arsenal are in a bit of a limbo. The club needs a striker but wont tie down a player that is only needed for 6 months.

would have loved to be there would have no transport look like United are going to get Mata be a great signing for them

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

l shall have to have a word with these hooligans.:)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Hopefully he'll be good but don't United need a quality midfielder first? I'm worried about this - They gave Donkey 4 years to prove something and he was a waste of money. Fellaini cost around the same so does that mean we're lumbered with him for the same amount of time? If so I can't see much money being spent on another midfielder.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Tom Cleverley ?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He is alright but in the scheme of world class footballers he is just another ordinary midfielder.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Careful Den. Utd fans reckon hes better than Wilshere ;)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

:rofl:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He just runs around the pitch seemingly with no real purpose or role.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

We seem to be going from one extreme to another regarding Mata. Too many attacking midfielders to only one to cover 3 places. Unless we have plans to replace him with someone new or call back one of the players out on loan, if we have a recall clause that is, I honestly don't understand it from the clubs point of view. He wants to play, I understand that, but we have to put ourselves first surely.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You'll pull Utds trousers down with the fee. That and Jose not rating Mata highly enough swings in favour of a sale regardless of what people think. On top of that there isn't really that much of a shortage of midfielders, there is though a shortage of strikers.

---------- Post added at 13:37 ---------- Previous post was at 13:36 ----------

West Ham bound ?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

If they were to sell then £40m has to be the minimum considering what players are going for. It'll be a shame though. We got plenty of strikers, just no outstanding ones....It's the 4 players for 3 spots that concern me. He'll revert to 4-3-3 for some games, which gives 4 for the 2 either side of a striker, that's fair enough. But 4-2-3-1 leaves not enough cover. I suppose Matic releases Ramires to be the right side of the 3, but that's more of a stand in than someone who plays there regularly. Oh well, I'm beginning to sound like Mike Bassett with all these formations. I'll leave it to the men that get payed a fortune to sort it.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Chelsea would be utterly stupid to sell Mata to United. I can only think Mourinho has either lost his mind, is still seeking the United job, or there is a backroom deal for Rooney in the Summer.

They wouldn't deal with Arsenal over Eto so if Mourinho must think United are not a threat. He is wrong.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I disagree. Mata can't harm Chelsea now and even if he manages to transform United in to a position where they start winning again, beating the teams ahead will only aid Chelsea.
