    Valencia and Young can't be worse than they were against Villa right :/

    I shake my head whenever Giggs gets played in anything that looks like a 4-4-2

    I know Norwich pose an Arial threat. But dropping DDG has always resulted in bad things happening.

    He wasn't dropped this time though.

    Ando's last couple outings have been very underwhelming. That said, if he was in a real midfield the last time out, it might have helped.

    Also benni... as has been said, Giggs in CM is enough - but Giggs in CM when you've got Scholes, Ando and Cleverley available and you are playing Hernandez, Young and Valencia is a little risky.

    There's a solid chance we'll struggle to control the game. There's also a good chance we carve them open but if we want to play enterprising attacking football sans Nani and Rooney, we may as well tell Ando to go out there and have fun, rather than have a 90 year old Giggs stinking up the joint.

    I'll answer my own question -- Cleverley was born Aug 1989.....why doesn't he play every game that he's fit for? Play Giggs over him? Why?

    Is he too weak to play 3 games in a week? Honestly, it just seems like we don't want to develop our players anymore.

    taking suggestions for good streams... sopcast or otherwise, all I had so far was a shitty Viatnamese stream on sopcast and a shitty flash stream.

    nvm this is a pretty good stream, well behind but very crisp 137201

    Rafael's positioning and decision making make me seriously wonder if he has a learning disability. For fuxake.

    EDIT:

    Hard to imagine how Valencia's play could be less imaginative.

    Just don't get a 39 year old Giggs in a 2 man mid against any team. Fortunately so far, Norwich are showing us a tad too much respect.

    He could simply stand still.

    Clearly our game plan is to gift them a goal so that we can wake up, and stage another comeback.

    So much for Valencia tracking back. Both the chances came because he was too lazy to track the fullback.

    Dismal both directions so far.

    That cross right there just sealed it.

    I can totally understand why Nani is in the dog house. This Valencia cat is just so much better.​

    Pure comedy.

    Fortunately for United, Norwich are just as bad.

    Nani would be doing something unpredictable, and we can't have that!

    Yawn. Good thing this wasn't an early game.

    Giggs is actually not our worst player so far. Valencia, Young and Smalling are keeping that crown safe.

    Anderson, Cleverley and Welbeck pls.

    Ugh, I miss the Ronnie days when we would attack from the first whistle and teams would just try to hang on. Those were the days.

    Young's attempts at beating a player is hilarious. Guaranteed loss of possession.

    Ferdinand should be playing next to Rafa given how much space Rafa is leaving. Smalling cannot keep up with his man and Rafa's.

    Ronaldo would struggle under the Fergie-Phelan pair.

    5 years from now, with Pep at the helm and Daehli, Januzaj and Pearson carving teams open at will, we'll look back on these days with laughter.












    Hey, a guy could dream right?

    Smalling's mistakes so far are independent of Rafael.

    It is when Giggs has been dismal himself.


    We need to go a goal down before Fergie gets us back playing 11v11.
