    Unlucky falcao, don't think he expected it back at the end.

    As brutal as Hull were, I was really happy today. Some great preformances, two absolutely top level goals, Falcao back and looking like he'll be great when back fit, Fel and Rojo looking great.

    DiMaria and Rooney getting hurt is a massive bummer though. Its absolutely bonkers how many injuries we're having (and yet....still in 4th!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    Funny how our defense has looked a good bit better, more composed and assured since we got back an old, past it/never had it player who slows down play, contributes nothing, and only ever had one season of any worth despite being a constant starter for the most successful spell in the clubs' history, eh? :)

    Herrera was excellent.

    Fellani played great today broke up the play well, some nice linkup play in midfield. Back four were solid. Good result, hopefully DiMaria is only a niggle and nothing more.

    Valencia gets a lot of hate, he can be very under rated sometimes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    Good result but a completely expected one given it's a Steve Bruce team. Hopefully Di Maria going off was precautionary and he didn't actually do his hammie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    That Falcao miss has ruined the weekend.

    Ruined it!

    He was talking about Carrick.

    Valencia is overrated still. Been one the team's worst players for 3 straight seasons.

    We got the fear factor back at OT. Im delighted with the progress of the team so far.

    LVG has done a wonderful job I think. Makes it even better the injury concerns we have

    I think (hope!) he was being sarcastic. ;)

    Also agree Herrera was great today, I was quite surprised he got dropped when his form until the rib injury had been really good. Then again I bruised a rib about a month ago and it only cleared up fully earlier in the week, real irritating type of pain since you can't much to fight the pain, unlike say abdominals, shoulder, etc.

    Falcao would want to get his act together.

    That fvcker is out for a month for a split end in his hair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,721 ✭✭✭Al Capwned


    Hull really are sheeeiiiiite!!

    Could have been 6 or 7 today - great performance .. 3 points now from Stoke and we flying.

    Bit worrying about Rooney at the end, looked like a impact injury so hes probably fine

    Looking at his wage packet, I'm sure he'll be fine.

    Well a split end could lead to baldness or maybe headlessness in extreme cases if he played through the pain barrier.

    What has his wage packet got to do with him being fit for midweek vs stoke?

    Dunno why I bother replying

    No, he was finding the right conditioner. the air in Manchester was wrecking his hair.

    I'm looking forward to United reducing Hull to absolute tears today.

    I don't like speaking in absolutes, but Man Utd -2 @ 13/5 is an absolute certainty and I shall have every cent of the €5.27 in my bank account on it.

    All winnings will be donated to the Man Utd injury clinic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    We should be looking to beat Stoke handily next week, which sets us up for a wild run of big matches... Southampton (A), Liverpool (H), Villa (A), Newcastle (H), Tottenham (A), Stoke (A), Southampton (H). What's more is that a winning streak there is pretty doable, and if we did pull it off (or even say 17+ of the 21 points) we would be in an absolutely excellent position.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,219 ✭✭✭✭Pro. F


    Nice goal for RVP but he was still way off the pace imo.

    Carrick continued to prove that he is a level above Blind, not the other way around as many had been saying.

    Hull are poor and I won't be getting too excited about this performance or result. But when you take it with the performances against Arsenal, City and Chelsea and the fact that we have had so many injuries, things aren't looking too bad.

    Fingers and toes crossed that Di Maria and Rooney aren't seriously injured.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 35,338 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Very Happy and not complaining at all.

    But happy in the "been waiting for this type of good performance at home for 2 seasons" happy.

    But like I say won't complain.:)

    Becuase he can look at it and realise how much tax he is paying.

    Im not excited we beat hull, we should beat them anyway. Im happy about how comfortable they were, everything linked up well. It was the manchester of old starting to come back.

    we were playing 2 at the back for a long time. I missed the first 30 mins of the second half so dont know what happened in that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Don't remember the last time we were that comfortable in a match.

    Di Maria and Rooney would be a loss but Herrera and Falcao are pretty good replacements.
