    Also, he has Rojo on the right side of central defence. Schoolboy errors.

    Are people still hot for Vidal?

    Two friends are heavy Seria A fans from the wonder days of Channel 4 airing matches, and have been saying he looks laboured and well below his previous this season. They can't tell if he's genuinelly struggling coming back from that injury, or if its just Pogba totally overshadowing him.

    Pogba who they told me penned a new deal last week.

    He's obviously just heartbroken because his move to United didn't happen.

    Secret Aent Kagawa has been sent to destroy good ship Dortmund and plunder the ship for its best pieces of silver... and bring them back to manchester...
    Hummels, Subotic and Reus with Kagawa...

    Dream team of

    Blind
    Herrera

    Rooney
    Falcao RVP

    Anyone else impressed with his movement when he came on on Saturday? However brief it was, I thought it was a joy to watch and looking forward to seeing him hopefully have a decent injury free run. the man was class and hopefully can prove he still is.

    I agree. Think once he gels with the team he will score a bucket load of goals.

    Why are all the players in your team currently playing for united?

    Something not correct here.


    Falcao no and Rojo yes? Christ have mercy.

    I wouldn't say he was poor. Not at top of his game, but he had a goal and an assist and another header that was called offside but very close. I think his movement is excellent and he worked hard during the entire game (something that might have been missing in previous games) deserved his goal and really benefitted from Carrick in the team as he's the only one it seems who can pick out his runs, maybe Herrera can but Mata it seems can't.

    Aside from his goal I would call his performance poor. I agree his movement was good, but his assist was a simple lay off and the header was saved, his passing and hold-up play was weak. That was a goal poacher type of performance for me - as in, not much to his game other than scoring goals. So if he's going to play like that he'd need to be scoring at a high rate before I'd agree that he deserves a place in this team.

    Unfair criticism of his best team available. Leaving out big names is what happens when you buy so many of them for one area of the pitch.

    Only if he guarantees to bring in KLlinsmann for Rooney and we get loads of Klinnsman dives celebrating every goal!!!

    Am I the only one who's been very impressed by Rojo? I think he has shown some great defensive skill. Is hard but not rash, very comfortable with the ball and the only times he's looked uncomfortable can be put down to bad communication which is something that time fixes. I think he'll be a bargain and a mainstay of defense for a few years. His injury was an unlucky one so can't see much future problems there. Don't forget he provides much needed left back cover too.

    And on top of that it seems like he takes pride in playing with the United jersey. Seems like the sort of character that would get on well with the other players, some of the passion he's shown in celebrating goals, saves and victories has been great to watch.

    We can't be too happy with our midfield options, Strootman would change the game for us. Having him and one or two of Blind, Herrera and Fellaini to partner him would leave us in a great position for choice in different scenarios.

    It's not the main priority at the moment because we should manage 4th with what we have. But if, dare I say when we get back to challenging for titles we will need a player like that.

    Regarding the recipes:

    Is there a thread you can discuss them on are is it totally banned?

    I ask cause I actually hate watching matches these days in standard definition never mind on a blurry stream. I'm a HD fanatic.
