    Wow crazy. Where are they landing now

    No idea, not sure why they wouldn't have just landed in Liverpool.


    Something about trophyware in Merseyside I'd say. :D

    It's to do with a flight from Doha to Manchester being escorted in to the airport by the RAF after the pilot receiving a report there may be a device on board. Guessing it had a knock on effect to other flights landing.

    Just heard it on the radio apparently a device on another plane landing in Manchester but not sure how genuine the threat is

    Apparently it was a league trophy found on the Liverpool team flight. It was reported by the squad as an unrecognizable and suspicious looking object!

    Was impressed when I saw him play a year ago in pre season.
    Scholesy rates him better than Januzai

    Have to say Scholes said what I felt too, his preseason last year deserved far more than being sent out on loan.

    I bet he will feel really pissed off if he gets the same treatment again, but I don't expect LVG to make that mistake.

    Qatar sponsors terrorism but is a friend of the west and man city, maybe a Man City link with United on the way to land :P

    I don't see where Lingard fits in this season, even as a squad player. Far too much competition for his position, he'll have to go out on loan.

    I could be very wrong, but wasn't he dropped back into midfield when United went 4-3-3?

    Lingard is probaly the most versatile young player we have.

    Disappointed at lack of association with terror threat and prospect of Tom Cleverly continuing in midfield.

    They didn't switch to 4-3-3?

    No use in being versatile if you're still not going to get much game time.

    I did feel at times that we were using a front 3 with it being...

    Mata
    Rooney
    Hernandez

    ....and then, from time to time, Mata would drop back and in behind the other two so we had a front 2 and a #10. Seemed to drift back and forth between the two, especially then when Nani came on as well.

    I'd be very suprised if Lingard and Powell aren't sent on loan to a PL club this season. Think there is too much competition for their position to warrant them staying at the club, especially with no European football this season.

    Nice win, judging by a few of the pages on the match thread I think I made the right decision staying away from it during the match ha.

    I imagine we will see the players VG doesn't think have a future leaving within the next week. I can't see him dragging it out very long. Hell probably give them a day of rest then tell the players who aren't part of his plan.

    Going to be an interesting next two weeks. Cant wait for league to start.

    Only going to watch the 2nd half now but the vine video posted on the previous page, LVG says he switched to 4-3-3.

    I think that was old press conference where he was explaining about win against Mexico.

    He is talking about playing Mexico during the world cup in the Vine.

    It looked 4-3-3 in the second half, don't think Nani was playing wing back.

    There was a bit of fluidity in the forward positions alright but I was fairly sure we were always 3 at the back with two wing backs, hense no 4-3-3.

    I think there a vine going around today where LVG mentions changing to 4-3-3 and coming back to win, but I think that's from a few days ago and he was talking about a Holland match at the WC (v Australia or Mexico) but people think he's referring to the match last night.

    Nani was striker, Young played as wing back whole game. Shaw as LWB. Jones, Smalling and Blackett as CBs.

    Nani was up front. Young and Shaw were the wingbacks.

    I certainly hope so. No more excuses, the world cup is over, the pre-season tour is over, he has had time to assess the players, he has had time to identify targets, there can no longer be any excuses for avoiding transfers.

    There is no guarantee that because he sells players that we will buy anyone. He may feel he has what he needs in the team already and as said no european football.

    Now I do think we need players , but I'm not LVG.
