    We don't need action man so 2014 Schweinsteiger would still be fantastic for United.

    Dynamism is exactly what we need in the middle of the field!

    He was like a salmon leaping out of water for that header!

    I love that high 5 from RVP and LVG. Great to see that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Man love is strong between himself and Van Gaal :)

    Super header, just brilliant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    That was the best headed goal I've ever seen. There'll be GIFs doing the rounds.

    Hopefully LVG saw his 85 mins or so today and looked up his wiki page. If he has I can safely say he's the answer to all our problems..

    I never said that he is the answer to all our problems. Our midfield is appalling for a club of our stature. The guy looks very good and is worth a look. He is clearly a much better player than Cleverley etc.

    Great to see the way pointing out that a lesser known player (than Schweinsteiger etc) could provide a solution provokes nothing but a sarcastic comment and a slew of sychophantic thanks.

    The Wikipedia reference was purely for the benefit of posters who haven't heard of Herrera (i.e. this Herrera).

    The passive aggression within this thread is astonishing.

    And then one of the best high fives between a player and manager as well.

    Such technique to take that the way he did. One of the most unique goals I have seen in some time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    A work of art that header. Need a gif of the celebration! :)

    If they'd connected properly with the high 5 it would have been perfect, agonisingly close.

    It was one of those rare moments where you see the ball sailing in, you see that he's onside, but then you think "Nah, it's overshot him, he's never getting on that". And then BAM, he's a salmon and it's in the net.

    Not as astonishing as basing your opinion of a player after one game and a wiki entry. Sure throw up a youtube video as well. I have no idea if I got thanks or not nor do I care. But if this is how you judge a player stick to champ manager. Again if people can't figure out that this player (who is Mexican and not playing for Bilbao who only have Basque players) then tbh I will probably not think alot of their opinion. That can be snobby but hey I don't care. Feel free to not respond.

    Sign up Blind!

    He's been shocking apart from that pass!

    Good analysis on BBC at the moment, Henry and Shearer describing the forward's mindset, Rio explaining the defensive side of it. Abnormally good from them, expect to see more from Rio if he's always this good.

    VG taking a leaf out of Moyes book with the crossing!

    Henry I like as a pundit. Shearer I can't take at all though.

    Normally I'm the same, perhaps the two lads alongside him are making him raise his game compared to Hansen but I think he's been good this evening.

    Shearer was talking ****e about the penalty. Its like he was saying its ok to cheat in this particular case.

    I actually like Rio and Henry's input.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,776 ✭✭✭Iseedeadpixels


    Can never forgive Henry :(

    Sorry that was meant to be we don't need him to be action man. He would bring bite and toughness still but also a football brain miles ahead of what we have.

    Look at Alonso for Real as an example of how a player can perform even as time passes. He may not be what he was but what he is now is still excellent.

    More passive aggression and rudeness.

    I didn't base my opinion on Wikipedia...the reference was for other posters' benefit.

    "Feel free not to respond"...Every time I see you post, it's rudeness and smart comments or disparaging about other posters. Why does nobody call you on it? Because you're a Moderator? I find the tone and content of your posts shocking to be honest.

    Incredible stuff.
