We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

by Liam Sun Aug 24, 2014 1:50 pm

First topic message reminder :

such a shame Strootman got injured before the world cup. Think he'd be at the club otherwise. He should have been here last summer along with thiago but we ballsed it up and ended up with fellaini.

Rooney shouldn't be occupying that space passing it on to an overlap. He is drifting deep into the hole so rvp van be move forward.. Rooney needs to be the front line player. He will score. RVP doesn't look fit. Mata needs to be in the hole. Mata can not play as a cm.

by Ent Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:00 am

Mata was no 10 first half and did nothing.

He does nothing where ever he plays. It's like having 10 men.

by Ent Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:04 am

What a surprise, ball to mata, check onto left peg, over hit a lofted pass.

Predictable- get him off.

by Nakatomi Plaza Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:05 am

Agree with Mysti. Mata and Di Maria are playing as CMs, with Fletcher as the hodling midfielder. He has been toilet regardless.

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:10 am

Oh Frak not Anderson.

by Ent Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:10 am

Anderson coming on.

Burnleys to win now.

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:12 am

Solid debut. He certainly didn't look any worse than the rest of the team (admittedly not a compliment...). Where's Adnan?

by Nakatomi Plaza Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:25 am

Remy's not included in QPR's squad unsurprisingly.

by Nakatomi Plaza Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:28 am

Mata's hamstring gone. Looks like Ent's voodoo doll done the job.

by Ent Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:30 am

That's also a penalty.

Nothing going for us really.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:30 am

Mata gets a lot of stick for basically having Poopie all to play with in front of him.

by Ent Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:32 am

Rooney, rvp, di Maria.

How he pulled his hamstring doing nothing I'll never know.

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:36 am

Great point burnley...

Well played

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:37 am

Yeah, cos I didnt know their names...

There's no movement, RVP is looking god awful, the wingers offer nothing and the pace of pass from some of these players is so atrocious.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:39 am

Hey Louis play a formation your players can play in rather than trying to be a smart arse

by **Crimey** Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:39 am

What wouldn't United give to go back to 2009 and invest in rebuilding their squad properly.

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:41 am

Interesting stat.

Burney 100% British line up today.

English manager
9 English players
1 scot
1 northern Irish.

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:42 am

Now it's a crisis, play four at the back and we might start grinding some results out, it clearly isn't working and we can't afford to wait three months.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:43 am

Can't score against Burnley Laugh

Di maria 60 million Run

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:45 am

Another coupon buster for the majority of the country

It's like the bookies have tapped up LVG.

by AlexHuckerby Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:45 am

Don't worry United, transfer windows not over yet, you could maybe buy your way out of the relegation battle...

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:45 am

When will Valencia Fletcher and Young be dropped off.. and importantly who would sign them? No one would pay them the wages they live on We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread - Page 5 1347041234

One of the most worrying things for United is this is going to be their easiest portion of the season, the big teams have yet to come.

by Guest Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:50 am

October starts with Everton & then followed by Chelsea, Man City & Arsenal. LVG better start scraping his 'philosophy', start playing 4 at the back, drop Mata & play Januzaj & Di Maria on the wings.

What a mess at the minute.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:53 am

Play a diamond, get Shaw and Rafael fit and United will look a different side.

If this lethargy continues I'd put money on Liverpool putting 5 past them

by Guest Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:02 am

oh dear 0-1 palace.

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:03 am

Gayle on the minute . He doesn't stop scoring.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:03 am

They went and signed the argentine gollum when they should've got Nige de Jong to fill the middle for the pair of donkeys. Very 1 dimensional

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:06 am

Gollum

The problem with Mata is hes a luxury player. Jose saw this immediately and punted him out the side. United don't have a side good enough to carry him at present.

Also doesn't help that LVG has taken the Gerrard/Lampard approach to RVP, Rooney and Mata. Its 2 from 3 really but for all the reputation and hype, hes tried to avoid making a decision that needs making.

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:57 am

Routledge's goal was unbelievable!!

Dyers was slick as well.

I am betting they beat united this season(finishing place)

Playing Mata would work once the team has confidence to go out and play but at the moment we need to set up to win by any means with 11 players who will put a shift in. Drop him for the time being then bring him back once our form improves.

by Guest Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:02 am

I wouldn't get carried away with Swansea after three games. Look who they've played, WBA are awful, so are Burnley & everyone takes 3 points away from Old Trafford. Don't get me wrong, they are a good solid side with potent strikers in Bony/Gomis but I fully expect them to drop down the league & United to finish above them, come May.

As for NUFC, if we don't buy a striker in the next 48 hours, we're in trouble.

Newcastle 1-2 Crystal Palace - Puncheon

Really need a forward now John.

Tell me about it. I expect Pardew will go to Ashley tonight demanding a striker & will get no response. Few games down the line, Pardew out the door. Horrific start, if we lose this

I would say they are a top 9 side and could nick 7th as they showed in the season before last. I think the UEFA cup just killed them. and man united may not beat that 7th spot.

Puncheon.. 2-1

by Fernando Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:16 am

Southampton have a goal disallowed for offside even though he was onside according to SSN

Man City 0-1 Stoke - Mame Biram Diouf well atleast one former United player is scoring Laugh

Ran from 10 yards inside his own half apparently shocking keeping by Hart.

by Nakatomi Plaza Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:16 am

Mame Diouf, former United striker puts Stoke 1 up at the Etihad!

by CFCNick Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:32 am

Diego Costa starts.

I forgot to put him back in my team after hearing he may play so need Wanyama to stay on the bench for Saints so Costa will be promoted after the points are done after the weekend.

by mystiroakey Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:35 am

cracking game this- zaha just scored an offside goal that looked that it might not have been(bad stream)
