smokie36 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't think its that Rooney doesn't put the effort in or has the required skill as he has shown over and over he has that in abundance. He is simply too slow now....and nothing is going to change that. Just his physique....its not even something you can lay blame for....but it is ruining Utd's shape happily. Long may he retain his place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Looks like we dodged a Rooney-shaped bullet a few seasons back when he was maneuvering for a move or raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Lifelong Manchester United fan gets his dying wish to meet his heroes - and passes away 45 minutes later. I think it brilliant that Ashley Young, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Timothy Fosu-Mensah all visited the 73-year-old - well done lads! Not knocking as I think it was great that those guys showed up for the fan, but surely a +70 year old might have preferred players from the days when he was in his 20s to 40s. Anyway, once again, well done the club and the 4 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally inept,lethargic performance last night.The fringe players did little to aid their cause. Played on a pristine pitch this was the chance for United to show they might be a force this year but were totally outplayed albeit their goal was marginally offside. Watching it live on 365 sport at midnight I wondered why I bothered. Rashord started and I cant remember one ball he could run onto ,his strength and was repaced by Zlatan. De Pay, when they suddenly sprang to live in the last 5 mins took a free kick which,instead of landing in the box, sailed over into the crowd, that about summed up the night Jones is out for at least 4 weeks,injured knee in training ,the guy just cant get a break. If they dont pick up their game dont expect any points at Watford....dire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm watching the re-run now. Fortunately I've only been up an hour so I'm not sleepy but this game is doing it's best to send me back to the land of nod. Interesting that Zlatan hasn't played Thursday night football for 15 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) it was a hard game and Feyenoord played a very physical game as can be seen by the fowls committed, they just bullied pushed shoved manu off the ball and the ref allowed it continue throughout the game, mix that with a green team that haven't settled as a team and a few players that should have been transferred as they still can't pass a ball, it takes time for bunch of new players to learn how to play together. also was it just me or was that also a rather small pitch. some would argue they were outplayed - I would say they were out fouled and not as football should be, how you defeat a team like that is force penalties by getting inside the box Edited September 16, 2016 by smedly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 There tactics worked stop united playing by fouling and it worked. Not to bothered about the loss we can come back from this, all about 3 points at Watford who are no pushover after a great win at West ham.

Example Scholes was never quick but never really declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some players might be settling in it was a very poor performance.Shots on goal were minimal and never worried their keeper. Rojo,Darmien,Schienderlin and De Pay certainly won't be playing this weeknd. If LVG had been managing this effort he would have been slaughtered.

smedly Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 they were played hard on a pitch that was tiny and compact, it was like watching a football team playing a rugby team, the ref did blow quite a number of fouls (match stats) but allowed it to continue without showing red, it was a scrum the whole match, we will see when they have to play at OT..........quite a different game entirely, if ever there was a game that Roon should have been playing it was that one, Rashford doesn't know how to play hard he was out of his depth being pushed and shoved off the ball......the ref never got a handle on the game as he should have........football is football not rugby - it is not a contact sport - contact is a foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Handful of games into the season and the media presure is ramping up on Mourinho and United.Only 99 points left up for grabs so you can understnd it Obviously will be some changes tonight after the mid week debacle. Using the stick the pin in method I would go for De Gea Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw Carrick Pogba (Last chance saloon Rooney Rashford Zlatan Martial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Zlatan although has scored a couple of good goals he also has missed quite a number of sitters were he should have easily scored Manu still seem to have box phobia, players like Rashford and Pogba should be charging in there and forcing possible dodgy tackles and penalties But it is obvious they are not playing as a coherent team yet. I also think the tackle on Marial was a fowl and should have resulted in a free kick not a goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
