8raz posted:zamora and rooneys were really good but there's a reason why goals that far out are rare. i think i can remember like, two times offhand when players have attempted it and failed (there's almost certainly way more but they're usually just seen as wasteful and forgotten quickly). Rooney used to try it like at least every other game. Im a bit worried that Herrera is getting hyped a bit too much. He's improved every game, but he still makes some very stupid passes backwards rather than taking a risk and playing a forwarf ball. He played one pass on Saturday that was played from the wing back to the keeper, and another from the wing to Rojo that sailed over his head. The Herrera-Valencia-Mata combo is a big part of why we're on form lately tho.

Ronaldinho was going to sign for us in 2003 instead of Barca, I always would have liked to see him in the Premier League. It turned out ok because we signed Ronaldo instead, which might not have happened

Machinegunboyo posted:The worst bit is how content Van Gaal and the fans are. It's been lauded as United's performance of the season. They only got to play that way because Mourinho let them. He let them have free reign of the ball because he knew they could do nothing with it, and United thanked him with a goal he wasn't too concerned about getting. Shambolic. Pathetic. Its been hailed as a good performance because with the players we had out we should have got well and truly bummed and instead Mourinho played a poo poo game to play the opposition rather than let his team overrun us

Blue Star Error posted:Chelsea, Arsenal, possibly Man City Arsenal who are a point above us and City who are a point behind us? If I was going to give reasons it would be the defence, an inability to find someone to replace Carrick, no 20 goal a season striker. I think points 1 and 3 will be addressed in the summer but having to bring in a couple of defenders and expect them to gel immediately is a tough task, and Falcao was an attempt at tackling that and he flopped

TelekineticBear! posted:its bloody moronic, Rooney in the seasons where he has been the main striker and focus of the attack has absolutely took the piss in the league back in 09-10 and 11-12 he was the main man and he tore the league apart. Just because he works hard he seems to get shafted into midfield even though he isnt anywhere near as effective and a real midfielder should be playing. Rooney is a great player and is constantly used ineffectively, both for man united and for england Nice wikipediaing, what happened in 10-11?

TelekineticBear! posted:man united walked the league and Rooney was again the main man but didnt score as many goals?! I cant believe im having to argue with a Man united fan that Rooney is in fact an insanely sick player lol Im not saying he's not a good player, I'd have him in my team all day long, but he's not a goalscorer in the same way you'd say an RVP or Costa was. He's a much more rounded player. His big problem when playing up front on his own is he gets isolated from play and ends up coming back further and further into the midfield and then you end up with no one up front. The reason I want a goalscorer is I'd rather Rooney playing in the spot he prefers which lately Fellaini has been occupying.

not not luvd posted:this times a billion No ones saying that. LVG said it was a good performance. I think given the injuries we had it was. We were ripe for the picking and to be bent over and given a lesson, instead if anything they seem to have given United confidence for next season. If we'd had the first 11 out and had the same result it would have been a different opinion.

not not luvd posted:mourinho would have played the exact same way regardless of who you fielded You keep saying this so I looked up Chelsea vs top 5 United we know vs Arsenal 47% - 5 shots to 10 won 2-0 vs City 43% 3 shots to 9 - 1-1 draw vs Liverpool 54% - 19 shots to 16 won 1-0 If you thought that was a bad United performance then maybe you havent watched us, or maybe I've watched too much of us. Bad United performances would be something like the 1-1 draw with West Ham where we looked totally devoid of imagination. Or *in sassasin voice* the match vs swansea in the opening day of the season Ciprian Maricon posted:lmao I just realized Hernandez has scored as much for Real as Falcao has for United Hernandez will get a goal but offer nothing in all round play, I thought he'd do well at Madrid at literally just sticking the ball in the net. Welbecks scored the same as Falcao too.

vyelkin posted:If you had a goal but nothing else in all round play you would have drawn Chelsea 1-1 instead of losing 1-0. If you think that all players are equal then idk what to say. Hernandez had a ton of chances in Moyes season and showed he wasnt worthy of a starting place. He never has been over his career there. Welbeck I love to bits and he'd probably work well in this way of playing but he still wouldnt grab goals.

blue footed boobie posted:I don't think Welbeck is really a bad transfer. He's quite good on the wing but he just isn't a striker, and he's still Arsenals second best striker given the competition (none). He was a bit expensive, but no England international under 25 is going to come cheap. I think Welbeck would be great in the system we're playing now tbh. I feel bad when I see all the Arsenal fans turning on him But then again I still think Ravel Morrison is not far from being an amazing player

Id have taken the risk on Falcao again tbh. It was better than doling out the money to buy him at 43 million and then getting stuck United took a risk on Van Nistelrooy in a similar way and it paid off big time.
