Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

[arbboy]

gotta be buying money laying 0 0 every game. will score tons and let in tons. def will be fun to watch this year.

would love to know what  one of the experts that post on blonde, redarmi arbboy etc, would give for utd to go rest of the prem season without drawing 0 0.

If you base the average 0-0 price for the rest of the season around the 14/16/1 mark on average it would be about a 5/1 shot roughly for no 0-0 for remaining 33 league games.

Anybody home?

Shell-shocked

Can't begin to describe the feeling.

I keep expecting the manager to rip off a latex mask and reveal himself to be Kevin Keegan.

LVG is supposed to be a master tactician but he seems to have decided that asking any of the squad to do some defensive work would be beneath them.

Doubt we'd surrender a two goal lead under Moyes.

[George2Loose]

This goes deeper than the manager. He just doesn't have the personnel. All our defenders are looking around at each other looking for someone to take the lead.

Drop RVP and Rooney- both haven't done anything recently and need some time out after World Cup.

Play mata and Di Maria behind Falcao and two proectecting the back 4

[horseplayer]

The fact he has started slow in every one of his last five jobs is surely enough reason not to panic

That front four will win you a lot more games regardless of the defence

[arbboy]

I also think this Leicester team are a bit better than people give them credit for.  They have come up with 100 points (statistically proven to be a good bench mark for premiership survival historically) and have spent well over the summer relatively to other new comers.

Setting aside Holland, one league title in 15 years..er with Bayern, wpwp. add Holland in and it's 2

Massively over rated and ludicrously arrogant imho

Would do well to get a 2 goal lead under Moyes...

[arbboy]

Pulis should get the Manure job.  The current front line could do whatever it liked every game and Tony just focus on the back 5 and Manure would be unstoppable.

Totally this i'm afraid. Didn't see much of them at the world cup but from what I did it seemed he had a Dutch team of very capable football players yet his tactics were to get Kuyt pinging balls into the box from about 35 yards out.

result like that is the perfect excuse for lvg to start up the 5 at the back again if there was enough players available - dont think there will be for wknd

embarrassing the way they imploded never seen anything like it - 1 terrible decision n they all saw there arses - pub sides dont do that

rooney showed hes not captain material losing it like that - fergie had it right about him should have been flogged last summer

things i would like to know - whats lvg scribbling away at all game , whys giggs always sniffing his fingers and are all coaches and backroom superglued into there seats in the dugout

that ref should be struck off for a game or 2 aswell

positives - di maria can play a bit

any opinions on blackett -  i think hes got the makings of a decent player hes just been hung out to dry by experienced full internationals got no help off them at all. could finish him off this.

[Marky147]

Hopefully not too far behind by xmas, and he needs to do about 100m on defenders in January.

They should contact that bloke who got 900k on 'No' to get them on over 4.5 every week, and hopefully make enough to pay for a couple of them.

[George2Loose]

One centre half is all we need. Jones/Evans are both decent enough players but they need a world class centre half to play with.

I also think that playing two up top is not the way to go. Pick Falcao or rvp and stick with them. I still believe having mata and di Maria behind Falcao is the way to go with two holding midfielders filling on for when the fullbacks get forward. Rvp and Rooney haven't been good enough- simple as that.

Perhaps you don't remember Bryan Robson or Roy Keane?

Blackett has some learning to do and as we observed last season, if you change the defence every game and lack a defensive midfielder you will create problems. It can't be good for the lad to be as exposed as he is being.

Yesterday was a freakish result, maybe lessons will have been learnt. I certainly hope so.

[George2Loose]

I really don't care about his performance as a captain. He's just not influencing games like he used to. When he was younger he used to be able to dribble the ball and be a general nuisance more recently he's controlled the game with his distribution. We are getting neither at the moment. He either gives the ball away or gets tackled too easily

[malt vinegar]

rooneys ranting and raving and general attention seeking after giving the ball away for the 3rd goal himself is whole different ball game to robson and keane. they would do it before the worst happened he was doing after it happened. if he wanted to make a point to the players it should have been after the pen but he was too busy losing his shit with the ref.

rooney should look closer to home to his own control, passing and shooting - typical scouser always blaming somebody else
