    My brain told me not to look at the thread yet because no doubt there would be panic :P

    We've had a good bit of ball but no real chances, VG will no doubt give them an earful. I can only hope we have a good second half and pull it around.

    But saying that it is only the first game, we won our first game last year by three goals against Swansea, and look how that year turned out!

    lads, as per the updated post at the top of the Soccer forum, please don't post in game vines (or gifs).

    Yes, it sucks, but it's the rules we have to enforce now cause of the PL clamping down on this sort of thing. Sorry.

    No penetration. Need more to come from centre of midfield.

    Knew as soon as I put mata in my FF team he would have a mare.

    Hopefully second half is better

    United have played very well I feel, but Hernandez is very off the pace, which is effecting the quality of the system because it relies on two strikers working off each other.

    I expect changes at half time or 60mins in an United to win.

    The one were United have controlled the possession, pace and bar a good break by Swansea, the game.

    Im not sure how anyone can say that 1st half "United have played very well". It was rubbish. We may have the possession but did absolutely nothing with it.

    If the return to 442 becomes permanent then Januzaj would play one wing. You'd hope then United would go for Di Maria.

    Vidal for midfield, Rojo for CB.

    But Mata would miss out.

    Dream signings, but something needed!

    He's a poor player, he relies on fouling players and his bald head to make him look hard, he's never played for a top team.

    You'll get abused by the scouser reds for that...

    Its a squad game and the squad is only as strong as they guys who don't start

    Lads if we don't make some good proper signings in the next two weeks I'll go mad.

    Shambolic.

    No difference between this tripe and the rubbish we were subjected to under Moyes.

    £150m spend required in the next fortnight.

    No more spin...no more spoof. 5 players required.

    Team looks far more comfortable on the ball then last year but still no killer instinct. The midfield is weak as is the defence. Players are needed badly.

    Personally feel what we need right now is a striker who isn't useless for 89 minutes of the 90....
