ManU thread 14/15

[ShiftyPowers]

You should have seen the team Bayern trotted out today.

 

[ManUnitedXI]

Chelsea proving they aren't as strong mentally as people think. World Class teams kill off teams after scoring the 1st goal early or in the 1st half. All they did was park the bus, and play slow, boring football. Especially when they scored in the first half. 55 minutes of parking the bus. they parked for so long, they got a ticket for parking in a 30 minute zone.

A world class team (even if they verse another world class team) they would continue to look to score and kill off teams. Bayern, RM, Barca etc. They all do that (at times). By killing off teams you show authority. By scoring a 1st half goal (like Chelsea did) and playing boring defensive football (like Chelsea did) shows that they are worried they will concede.

Us United fans, we killed off City last week. Get 2-1 into HT, come at 2nd half, score another 2 and kill them off at 4-1. Yes we conceded but the thing is we kept on looking to score. That what makes fans interested in watching.
If a team scores in the 80-90th minute and takes the lead then park the bus all you want, its understandable.

[Sir Didier Drogba]

You are not good enough for it to be worth our while indulging you with a good game.

 

[chygry]

Too many injuries. I mean when you've got your main players out of it then you can't do much can you? While you guys have a spectacular player as in Hazard.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Will everybody please stop whinging about fucking injuries. Get more depth or rotate/rest your players better if this is such a concern for you.

 

[chygry]

You sound like Mourinho!

 

[Mandieta6]

Not every defensive performance is parking the bus guys. Parking the bus is what we did against Bayern and Barca when we won the CL, it's a suffocation of space around the area. I don't recall our ever needing to resort to that against you yesterday.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Exactly, Man Utd fans just looking for consolation by pretending to themselves that this game was big enough to be worth parking the bus for

 

[Mus]

Yeah, they packed the midfield not parked the bus - if you want to go for buzzwords

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I really really hope we don't sell you Cech

 

[chygry]

Seeing Cech in a Manutd shirt would most definitaly be bizarre, but it won't see it be happening. I just wonder how much truth there is to those rumours about linking de Gea to Madrid. I'd just hate to see it happen. I truly believe that he's the best goalkeeper in EPL, even better than Courtois.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I agree about him being better than Courtois (right now, anyway) but it seems like the Madrid story could be very real. Cech is thee natural target and we may have to sell him to you if he forces it as there is not so much time on his contract. Luckily he's a loyal guy so I hope he plays ball and agrees to go to inter

 

[chygry]

Going to Serie A, especially to Inter would be like taking a cyanide pill (I don't believe those things come in pills anyway, capsules i presume). Serie A except Juve is a retirement home.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Yeah this is a good way to describe their play. Chelsea played with 2 defensive midfielders; Zouma and Matic in midfield with the former being a natural centre back. We were forced to play on the wings but Chelsea have 2 excellent side backs i.e. Azplicueta and Ivanovic.

 

[chygry]

You sound like me! Absolutelly agreed....

 

[Arnau]

Going to Serie A, especially to Inter would be like taking a cyanide pill (I don't believe those things come in pills anyway, capsules i presume). Serie A except Juve is a retirement home.

If Inter get the players they are linked to it's a good destination.

 

[chygry]

Yeah maybe. Considering the fact that the big money men from Dubai or wherever bankroll those clubs.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Sky sports is saying we are wrapping up on Gundogan. Is that a good or bad thing? Can he play in Carrick's position or should he play more advanced? I am very concerned about his back injury that kept him out for a full year.

 

[ManUnitedXI]

I reckon its a good thing. he will play more of a Carrick role. Blind can rotate with Shaw at LB. Plus reduces the chance of Rooney playing there.

FUN FACT: if we sign Gundogan and/or Hummels, they will be our first ever german player/s to play for United.
