Only 3 weeks until Van Gaal v Mourinho

Last time out Mourinho beat him to win the Champions League

Monaco want Rooney, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/players/wayne-rooney/11144856/Monaco-drop-largest-hint-yet-that-they-are-determined-to-take-Manchester-United-captain-Wayne-Rooney-to-France.html

We keep Falcao & they get Rooney - I'd be happy enough with that.

Second worst final in recent memory. Only beaten by Juve/AC Milan.

Or, possibly....

Rooney --> Monaco
Falcao --> Real Madrid
Ronaldo --> Man United.

Would leave us a forward short though.

If, it's probably a big if, we do resign Ronaldo, we would definitely want to keep Rooney considering how well they played together before.

Would you ever get over your obsession with me.

Considering I probably make on average a post a week in this thread I'd hardly call it an obsession. Sorry for calling out one of your many ridiculous posts. I'll bugger off now for another couple of weeks. I take it all back everything you've said about cleverly is correct.

Spotted this on Reddit the other day:

I wouldnt mind Moutinho too. Madrid can **** off too

If we are selling any forward, not that we should or will, it would be best if its RVP. Rooney>RVP.

Winston Payne · 07-10-2014 01:58PM

Blind absolutely can be pressed. He's not the quickest, is slight so not that dynamic physically and doesn't look to have an abundance of tricks. He also tires towards the back end of matches. Having said that, he's two or three steps above Cleverley. Much better defensive side to his game, better passer, more versatile. It's not a contest between them.

The team in general only looks to have an hour of puff in them though. We're not seeing games out like we should, we've lost control of the match pretty cataclysmically against Leicester and Everton. The demands that 4-3-1-2 is placing on our central midfielders looks to be taking a lot out of them. Di Maria gasses on '70, Herrera goes a bit before that but has a late wind in the last few minutes. Blind looks wrecked late on too. It's not helped by our front two being pretty immobile no matter who they are. None of Falcao, van Persie or Rooney will work the channels with enough dynamism to utilise the system as effectively as it could be, and to ease the physical demand on the wider two central players who have to come wide and high towards the box to make up for it. Welbeck would have been ideal in the system, but that didn't work out. That's my biggest worry ahead of the games against Chelsea and City, that we'll run out of legs before the end of the game and we could suffer pretty badly for it.

Good footage alright, only noticed at the end Naismith giving big Dave congrats for the save, nice touch alright. Missed it watching the game.

grames_bond · 07-10-2014 02:53PM

Never noticed naismith going over to DDG to congratulate him on the save at the end. Nice touch that!

Cant stand people who go to gigs, sporting events etc and watch it through their phone.

Well its not like his phone covers his whole field of vision, people are well able to record something on their phone when they know something is gonna happen and still watch.

Cant stand people who think they are 3 school 5 school.

Leroy42 · 07-10-2014 03:12PM

Jebus, Fellani totally loses his man for the free at the end. It actually wasn't his man that took the shot in the end but since he had totally stopped Mata had to cover his man leaving him to 'not cover' theirs.

Watch that vimeo at the end and Fellani is left for dead!

The Moldy Gowl · 07-10-2014 03:18PM

So is Rojo

I didn't think it was stamina that was the problem, I think it's the mentality that's come from last season/start of this season. We need to be more imposing towards the end of the game and not withdraw deeper. It's nervousness.
We've largely controlled the opening 45-55 minutes of the past couple of games, so the other team should be more fatigued. But we withdraw, get nervous and invite them onto us when they have no right to get back into the game. We're hugely lacking experience at the back too. I think we'll see it become less common if we manage to put a decent run together and gain some composure.

What. A. Tool.

Imagine being sat next to him all season long. Bloody hell.

I rather seeing the players celebrate than the constant replays and replays of the goal

I love seeing Cup Final footage after the final whistle goes and the lap honour.

When you win something you have different reactions with people depending on your relationship with them. The exception being how Roy Keane used almost injure team mates during goal celebrations whether he liked them or not.

Nalz · 07-10-2014 05:30PM

Nobodys fault, but Im seek of seeing Roy Keane's face or name lately.
