    Travel question again folks but can you travel to the UK via Ryanair with a drivers licence or is a passport required?

    People on about Herrera: what was the biggest danger from Cambridge in the first tie? Set pieces. If Herrera plays we have 4 defenders that are decent in the air, Blind and the two strikers. Then we'd have three guys who you just couldn't have marking guys when defending set pieces. Considering Rooney or RVP normally do the front post role and don't mark then you're down another marker.

    Its fucking Cambridge at Old Trafford, who gives a toss whether they are good in the air or not. Maybe if we could string two bloody passes together we could actually play some football and deny them even a sniff of a high ball.

    I dunno lads, I reckon our 5th or 6th most expensive signing in the clubs History should be getting a game here. Not being smart, but he's only started 10 games this year, obviously injury played a big part in that but still

    The Herrera thing is 100% match fixing related.

    No players fee should ever gaurantee them a spot in the a match

    What an odd, odd system from Van Gaal. What an odd way to put out a team with the players you've got. Fellaini on the left wing and Rooney on the right? Really? Does that fit?
    "Why is he even out there, Rooney? Sir Alex used to play him there, but only when they were up against the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. If I was a player playing for United I would be absolutely deflated. If I was Rooney playing out wide against Cambridge, I would wonder what on earth the manager was doing with me. What am I doing out here? It's just crazy."

    Fellaini isn't on the left wing. Rooney is more central right.

    Fellaini just got an assist.

    Do you even watch matches or do you just find nonsense comments?

    Fellani is playing pretty central from what I can see he is drifting in from the left more then he is staying out there in assuming reason been that Cambridge have so much height in the defence and they are defending like they did in the first match with two banks of four so the best way of getting past them is crosses in from the wings to big men upfront. Rooney is putting in a few decent balls from the right wing too so that's the reason he is out there anyway we are 2 nill up so its all working so far.

    Are you watching the match? Rooney is playing fine. Sitting in front of the box on the right side becuase Maria is on the left.

    Paddy McNair looks excellent at right back. Take from that what you will.

    this ref is ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Regardless of the standard of the opposition, McNair looks like a natural in the RB role. He's been absolutely immense.

    His passing and confidence on the ball is brilliant. He is drifting inside too playing as midfielder.

    I really hope Rooney scores, I'm delighted to see him playing up front and not this midfield ****e.

    Im hoping if he scores a few van gal might leave him there

    Edit* From the few minutes I watched he was playing up front??
