Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread

Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread
He hasn't exactly set the world on fire in North London, so I don't think United would be much better with him still in the squad. He's a good player, and he's had some good games recently on the wing, but it's not like he's been some revelation who would drastically improve the United squad.Last edited by rsnomar05; 03-10-2015, 03:56 PM.Comment

Re: The 2014-15 EPL Discussion Thread
Finally got that FA Cup loss out of my system.
Some thoughts:
1. We played pretty GOOD in the 1st-half. Possession coupled with directness in Arsenal's half. I was wholly confident of getting a W due to our play even when Arsenal scored first, as evidenced by the quick reply a few minutes later by Di Maria's cross for Rooney to head in.
2. Tony V and Smalling were shambolic defensively, aside from some of our more usual shambolic defense. Smalling looked nervy and was caught out of position numerous times, while Tony V would find himself pressuring in midfield or wherever the ball went, leaving Di Maria to cover the right, which in turn led to Di Maria not giving a **** at all when Monreal moved past him to receive the ball from the Ox (after more shambolic defending) to score that first goal.
3. I really didn't get why Carrick came in for Herrera. Blind and Carrick are practically the same players, and United stalled in attack for a good 10-15 minutes at the start of the 2nd half. Really bad substitution by LvG. Still, I thought that we played better than Arsenal in the 2nd-half.
4. Can we please treat Fellaini for what he is, Plan B? Mata is the better option in the hole! Carrick + Blind provide enough defensive cover for Mata to do what he does best if LvG's concern is balance.
5. Man. United showed their appreciation of Danny Welbeck's service by giving him a gift from Tony V's.
6. David De Gea man. Woody, show him the damn money! And if he still has doubters, I don't know what to say.
I can understand being outplayed and losing, but playing better than the other team and losing because of silly mistakes is infuriating. Fair play to Arsenal, they pounced on our mistakes and made us pay.
What a wasted opportunity to (most probably) get to a cup final. Every match until the end of the season is a cup final for us now if we want to secure a spot in Europe.Last edited by Leon; 03-11-2015, 11:30 PM.Comment

That is beyond hilarious. We bossed you at your own stadium where your best bet were long balls to Fellaini.Comment

Fellaini was used to counter your deep defensive line. Something I'd rather have seen at latter stages if Mata would've been given a chance instead.
Enjoy the victory. Lord knows it's only the 3rd time (in 19 matches) you've beaten us since 2008.Comment

Did you even watch the match? Have you seen the stats? Bossing is quite an overstatement. Much like the story of our season though, our possession play has been inadequate when teams defend well against us. Only difference this time is we had more directness in our play.
