Ill get injuries up around 11:30ish & Lawyers 12ish.

Koscielny very visibly frustrated Lukaku who probably expected to have the physical advantage. He even pushed him down off the ball at one stage because he couldn't move without Koscielny being on his case.

Morning 

Kos is  very good defender but has lapses in concentration when his found out of position and does something silly to recover. 

We lost so what we still support the team, Moyes is taking far too much stick the players need to take some responsibility. We'll still get 4th,at the end of this month we will have a better picture.

Anyone wwants to beat these speak now or forever hold your peace.
Stefan Kießling - £13m
Michael Carrick - £11m

Koscielny defensive intelligance has really improved, thats what got the better of Lukaku. As Viva point out tho, he does have lapses which cost big like his red cards are usualy needless or silly mistakes.

players need to take some responsibility.

The do indeed. Still didnt look like Man United the other day. Same as Spurs & Everton match, we wernt breaking in numbers with pace, lack of desire. Not moving the ball quick enough between the lines.
Chicharito put some effort in pressureing defenders, RVP comes into his own half to get the ball & then once pinged a great ball to put Chicharito on goal. Shame he didnt finish that chance, think the lack of regular match sharpness was clear then as his finishing is usualy good.

I dunno, I'm more likely to "move on to the next match, anticipating defeat"

That urgency is not there Nick, even the last ten minutes when we need a goal the team is very casual. I don't know about you but the players bar Rooney don't look hungry enough.

You always move onto the next match expecting the worst, but hoping for better.

4 points out of 6 from two tough away games v United and Arsenal, I fully expect us to waste all the work by loosing at home to Fulham next week. I hope not, but I won't be surprised

Afro you must be loving it at Everton after Arsenal they are my team of the season. Oooooh Barkley kill em, what a player big lad but he has such quick fit, fearless and brave, he wants the ball and looks to do something with it.

I'm enjoying it at the moment. The step up we have made with Martinez is that we now aren't going to the big clubs and trying to snatch something. We are actually going toe to toe and matching up at the moment. It is great to see the confidence we have at the moment

I was impressed massively by your defensive efforts. I thought Martinez would signal a downturn in your defensive play but I was dead wrong. I guess at Wigan he was just polishing turds.

An that's what we're doing at Old Trafford looking to get something against the big teams and holding onto it. Under Moyes you'd have probably got no points in the these two games. Refreshing to see Martinez adopt an attacking game at Everton, he could have played it safe and stuck to Moyes methods.

This Thursday ITV 4, Best Of Enemies a programme on Keane and Vieiras rivalry. I watched a clip and Keane is asked who's the best manager he ever played under and he went with Clough. An then they're both asked jointly to make there greatest XI and they're debating over Cole and Irwin at lb. Keane would have smashed Vieiras face if they ever had a 1 on 1.

Yep, nothing like the Man United of old. Usualy chasing a game we would be piling pressure on but there wasnt any of that.
Carricks been missed badly, no one else is moving that ball from front to back like he does.

 Thing is I anticipated defet on Saturday. however in the CL tomorrow I do expect a win or at very least a draw.

Clough punched Keane square in the face. Probably the only way to get respect from certain types of people.

I wouldn't be so sure Keane beats Vieira one on one. One of those two is a tonk black dude, the other is Roy Keane.

For me we need something new, a spark. Maybe a winger would be good. Carrick and Rooney were both missed on Saturday and are key players. I'd have played Kagawa behind RVP on Saturday, then brought on Hernandez on 60. People saying we need a new striker is complete nonsense though.

Maybe we should go for a few players in January, Pique, Rossi and Pogba would fill in the gaps?

Let be realistic Trebs, Pique, Rossi and Pogba only Rossi could be possible.
I felt in the summer Cabaye would of been good & I still think that.

7 changes on the weekend, too much chopping & changing of the starting line up.
Shinji should of been started behind RVP. He played well there when behind Rooney.

Trebs, fancy doing my injuries & lawyers? Or anyone else, whoever is around?
Just pick them, dont post yet, ill give a heads up when im ready to post.

I think Trebs might have been alluding to the fact you let all of those players go. Don't worry, you kept Evans, Macheda and Cleverly so it's pretty like for like there.

I can't zzz, my laptop has broke and I'm only on my phone. Tactics will be fun to write this week.

Wonder the best xi would be getting players from united youth?

Roy Keane was an amateur boxer, he grew up poor all he knew was Football and fighting. Yeah Vieira has an impressive physique but he lacks the heart, bravery and courage. Keane all day long the only Footballer to give Keane problems would be Duncan Ferguson. 

Fifa 14 online is difficult played 8 matches lost 4 drew 2 and won 2. I need one point from 2 games to get promoted. I think I may have found my new team online FC Basel, 3 and a half stars and I know them inside out managing them on here I won one of my matches with them.

Nick I'll do your lawyers and injuries.

Ohh ok. Evans is good. I have no problem with him.
Pique was always going back to Barca, its in his DNA like Cesc. Pretty much most La Masia graduates who make it good return to Barca.

Pogba was annoying, still think its more complex then offer a contract & sign. It was common knowledge his agent was saying this & that to him so I can understand not wanting to play him. There was no commitment from him so no commitment to play him. SAF gave him some appearances from the bench, still no change in his attitude so he stopped. Maybe more should of been done to keep him (I think it should of) but its not as easy as we on the outside think it is.

Pogba & Ravel smashed youth level, I would of loved both to stay but both went for different reasons. I can agree with the Ravel one more. Its a shame tho as they were primed to take over.
Could that be why no midfield signing wasnt made year after year?? Did SAF/Man United board/whoever it was put all there chickens in one basket??
We will never know.

Pogba, Cleverley, Morrison in two or three years time would be a world class midfield capable of going toe to toe with anyone.

Anything that involves Cleverley is not a World Class midfield

It's why he's on the list of 10 supposedly being axed from your squad in Jan/Summer

You're funny Nando.

I agree with you Mighty, that would be a terrifying midfield. Cleverly is Scholes, Pogba is Vieira and Morrison is Gazza.

Clevez actually played alright on sat. Well I though. He defo wasnt the worst ive seen him.

Still ain't going to change Cleverley being distinctly average, He may get better in time but their is still a Frak load to improve on for him.

That must have hurt your soul typing that   

Doing injuries now.
Trebs, Viva, Nando, last three to post so can one fo you sort mine out. Decide amongst yourselves, ill be back in 10 ish to give a heads up before I post them.

We've never said Cleverly is going to become the best player in the world, he'll become a world class player at the most but 
not at the level of Messi and Ronaldo. 

There's another young English lad playing in North London who has been claimed the messiah but truth is he has glass ankles and will never reach the levels his supporters think. 

Barkley and cleverly will be the England future and Morrison.

He's 24 man. Give it up, he's a solid 6 or 7/10 per week but that's all you're getting. There is a bit to be said about that though, nice and steady.

He wont make top class but his prime is yet to come so I think he can still improve to be better. If he continues with his decent run of the mill standard he wont survive long.

Injuries are going up now.
Lawyers will be up in 15 mins ish.

I firmly believe Jonny Howson is better than Tom Cleverley

He's Aaron Ramsey without the goals. Ramsey was terrible yesterday, like really terrible. Speaking to Arsenal fans he is basically a bit sloppy in possession and he just masks it with goals.

lawyers are ready. Will be posted at 12:45

Done. post mine if you havent.

Julio Cesar -£3m
Ben Davies - £3m

Anyone want to beat these?

I was joking nobody ever can become or be compared to Wilshere.

Dj Campbell and Sodje brothers are arrested. I seen the video of Sodje punching Jose Baxter on his Winkle haha he got 70k for it though.

well he doesnt have the 70k after being arrested

PM for Viva

Wilshere is being really poor this year. He is not building on any of what he was doing two years ago and at the moment, on current form, should be nowhere near the England side

But he is still better than Cleverley. I think the fact that United are supposed to have been offering Cleverley about to other clubs says it all about him.

He is no more than an average footballer

£20m for Rossi is a little bit tempting.

Anyone interested, make an offer

Wilsheres not having a great season so far, but I'd absolutely take him over Cleverley everytime. If United had any quality at all to speak of in CM, Cleverley would be playing for a team like West Ham by now.

I cant afford Rossi. Now would be a good time to $$ in on him.

Can't see an obvious replacement for him, but £20m is a lot of spondoolicks and it gives me an idea of a direction to head with formation...

Hope Wilshere starts for England at the world cup and gets effed up and Cleverly comes on and saves England but decides to cancel his goals because Afro, GSC AND Olly have been saying stuff about him. The world finds out them three get banished to Nigeria. The End. 


Replied to you nick,mate you HAVE to get the ps4 it's too bad ass. I love it I love it I love it so much . I can't wait till uncharted 4 comes out.

Viva, I'll be getting one after xmas I think. Just waiting for Sony to get stock
