    Valencia injured so even thinner defence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49,304 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Some nice interplay.

    Then we lose possession and concede a corner in 3 seconds.

    One day we'll have a team capable of stopping the opposition running through us.

    Yay... Darmian on to be sh1t for 83 minutes. Hope valencia injury isn't bad. Don't want him first choice, really, but certainly don't want Darmian starting the season right back for us.

    No, that would mean Darmian staying

    Reckon that could see us move for Sandro and stick Young on the right..

    I wish

    As a left back, without a left foot, it's moronic that he could be first choice left back. Seeing him as good enough is part of the mentality that has seen United do nothing in the league for 5 years and falling behind the top sides in Europe.


    So moronic he was probbaly the best LB in the league last year..


    So moronic he was one of if not the best lb at the world cup...

    Do you think Madrid would like him as their first choice? Munich? Juve? City? Barcelona?



    Sure, he;s a much better defender than Marcelo for example.


    Which City LB would you be putting in front of him based on last year?


    Would any of them be forking out big money to buy him? obviously not due to his age. That doesn't take away from the season hes had.



    It's players like him being first choice (valencia, smalling, Jones) that means we've no chance of winning the PL or CL.


    All PL winners.....


    But carry on..

    Yeah sorry lads donno what i was thinking there ye are right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Surely if Darmian is going then you bring on TFM for Valencia


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 19,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Fella auditioning for WWE there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,813 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Alexis looks very eager. Garner holding his own in the deeper role!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Shaw got absolutely done there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,813 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Jaysus Shaw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now

    How did Bailly not score there?

    A great defender at either end of the pitch

    Chong having a good run out so far he's an interesting prospect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,083 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Sanchez and Perrera impressing so far.

    Martial not so much.

    To be fair to it, Russia was a better than normal WC

    Vidic and ferdinand were the first choice centre backs when we won the league. Rafael first choice right back

    All the players were backups when we won the league. We've not won the league with them as first choice in their current positions. Valencia is the only one that was first choice in a title win, but not at full back.

    Mendy is a better lb than young. Marcelo is light years ahead of young going forward.

    You could take young ahead of Delph but Delph is backup, I'd have zero issue with young being our back up.

    Our first choices are the level of other top sides backups. That's why we won't be winning the top trophies.

    Who would buy Valencia to be first choice right back in the morning? Jones? Smalling? No big side, yet here we are... Going into yet another season with fans (and Jose) deluding themselves into thinking this season will be different. This season valencia will realise you should try to aim for your own team. Smalling and Jones will realise 'last ditch' isn't the only way to defend. That young will realise going the outside will stretch the opposition and provide more space.

    How Mourinho is ok with this effing sh1t show is beyond me. Has he given up wanting to win? Happy to just take his pay cheque and not rock the boat?

    Yeah,Shaw has lost the holiday weight. :)

    Wtf pathetic statement to make


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Has Shaw ever looked in shape fit in a football Jersey?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Andreas needs to be getting game time this season. Sure he wont make the starting 3 but he should be 4 or 5


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 19,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Sanchez is getting creamed outta it at every opportunity
