We Go Again! The Premier League thread

[Fernando]

First topic message reminder :

Galloway off for Browning due to injury

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I'd need to see the first one, but if its as described (purposefully blocking a quick throw) then you get cards for them 50% of the time.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Currently dreaming of what happened at Bournemouth away in this situation last season

Bring on Ricky and be done with it

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hoping tettey halves tadic

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Comes in to Rodrigueeeeezzzzzz...and Tadic was there too. Wonderful commentary for the Tadic goal hahaha

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hoping tettey halves tadic

Really hoping this happens now

Wisdom is atrocious

[Guest]

United could do a lot worse than following up their interest in Mane before the deadline passes. Making things happen for Southampton

[Hammersmith harrier]

Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin in midfield with Herrera as the 10, we should create a lot more with him in an advanced position, aside from that the rest of the team stays the same.

[Guest]

As a neutral, disappointed that Montero is injured, could of been a real test for Darmian.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

One of those days - least we're getting our bad luck out the way early

Hopefully the Swansea game is more entertaining

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Same feeling on Montero. Been their best player so far and gives United an easier time

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

De Bruyne confirmed. Replaces Navas you'd assume in the starting XI, and that three behind Aguero will be a nightmare to pick up.

[Guest]

Aguero, De Bruyne, Silva and Sterling as your attacking quartet = hello premier league trophy

[Fernando]

What are you doing Shrek. Just shoot don't need to beat him

[Fernando]

Gotta be scoring that Gilf-y so close tho.

[Guest]

Romero is poor, he always seems to be a mistake waiting to happen. I'm not comfortable him being our #1 this year

[Fernando]

Gomis hits the post after bullying Blind away from the ball.

Gunna be a long day for United defenders

[Fernando]

That was some mighty fine shanking from Romero. Nearly caused an issue there.

[Fernando]

Schneiderlin booked for an pointless tackle out wide.

[Fernando]

Depay booked for pulling down the player after losing ball, Was silly considering in the Swansea half.

[Guest]

Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin in midfield with Herrera as the 10, we should create a lot more with him in an advanced position, aside from that the rest of the team stays the same.

Personally I think it should be Mata or Herrera at the number 10 (if LVG insists that Rooney will be the lone striker for the season), Mata should not, should never be out wide. We need pace on the wing, somebody who can beat a man and get the ball in the box not look for a cute pass before passing back to halfway if nothing is on.

[Fernando]

Routledge booked for the same thing as Depay.

[Guest]

From a United viewpoint for a game that started as brightly as it did it was disappointing to see us to refer back to the brand of nonsense boring 'football' the moment Swansea got a sniff of a chance

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ashley Williams is so bad so so bad

[Hammersmith harrier]

Turns out Luke Shaw isn't a donkey after all.

[Guest]

Ashley Williams is so bad so so bad

Rio Ferdinand would disagree, called him the most underrated defender in the PL

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Passing on Ayew cos of costs is looking a poorer and poorer decision.

[Guest]

that goal is on rooney, lost possession stupidly giving Shaw too much ground to make up

[Guest]

United are pony

[Guest]

Romero is appalling

[Hammersmith harrier]

What is Romero doing there, bottled it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What a beautiful goal that was

[Guest]

Gonna stick my neck out and suggest De Gea would have kept out both of those

Although this result could prove a blessing in disguise (if it proves to be dropped points)_ as arrogant as LVG is, surely not so arrogant to not add to this squad

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Utd haven't reacted to Swansea's tactical change quick enough - excellent stuff from monk

[Guest]

Let's face it, we knew this United side was awful, this is the first decent side & they've shown United's weaknesses. Rooney awful, schweisteiger is so slow & old & Romero is appalling. lVg's new team is pretty awful

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Romero looks like the kind of keeper Arsenal would have usually had in goal

[Guest]

Actually sickens me that we're gonna have to play longball in the hope of rescuing a point

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Quite harsh assessment, John. Swansea away is going to be a difficult fixture for every team in the league. Dealt with them quite well until that burst. Romero by all accounts is not a starting keeper long term in LVG's eyes. 

Would be lovely for Swansea to carry on this way and knock Spurs out of the top six come the seasons end.

[Guest]

Yeah my mate referred to Swansea as a banana skin earlier which I felt was a bit harsh. No team should be confident of going to the Liberty and leaving as winners, but we've been our own worst enemies.The undroppable Rooney stupidly gifted possession for the equaliser and then Romero may as well be made of water for the go ahead goal (granted Smalling was caught flat footed to begin with)

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Surely surely United will sign a striker, surely

[Guest]

terrible from Rooney, absolutely pathetic. To actually appeal for a pen as well, disgrace

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ashley Williams is so bad so so bad

This game and that bit of defending would disagree

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ashley Williams is so bad so so bad

This game and that bit of defending would disagree

You did see the United goal right? I don't rate him at all. Don't think Rooney dithering around letting him get back in is great defending tbh

[Dolphin Ziggler]

He's been fantastic today. Little bit caught out on the goal but he's been let down by those in front of him and probably expecting Rooney to touch the ball. 

Ayew best player on the pitch but Williams was brilliant.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Williams wasn't great to be honest, almost cost his side three goals with different mistakes but we're so poor up front he got let off the hook.

[GSC]

Maybe Brugge are just Poopie

[Guest]

Woodward firing off desperation bids tonight

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Not entirely sure what Mata did so wrong that Depay did right to stay on the pitch.

[GSC]

Not entirely sure what Depay did

[Guest]

Depay poor again (only decent games have come against Brugges)
Rooney poor again - he is not cut out for the lone striker role
Mata although he scored is not a winger
Less said about Romero the better


Only highlight from that game is Shaw who continues his impressive start to the season

Think United will sign two, maybe three players now before the deadline, deffo one striker who will start against the scousers and Rooney will be dropped. Needs to be shown his place is by no means guarenteed. A new winger and keeper as well please

[kingraf]

Coulda got 16/1 on a Swansea win the moment Utd scored. Such a level of disrespect.
