hey everyone happy new year,
Now onto last nights game I know we are all sad about the result but I expect no one now expects us to still win the league to qualify for top four would be a massive bonus with the way we are playing unless we improve drastically over the cause of the season.
Of the whole of last night game the one positive thing I gained was watching januzaj play is improved so much and you'd notice all our attack came from him down the right flank going pass players like they were never there and also the one problem he seems which is a 1 vs 1 encounter seems to have improved may be that's down to the fact that he was in playing on the right wing which gave him the oppurtunirty to play on his stronger left foot, in my opinion I think is best position would be on the right wing if he continues to work on his acceleration.

That Also Shows how bad a team can be who relys on an 18 year old Kid to do the Damage?
2.) To be honest he was very poor on the left wing and gave the ball away which led to the second goal and had some very poor decisions. Granted He did improve when he went down the right but then again we had 6 to 7 offensive players and the fullbacks pushing forward and it was helper skelter stuff trying to get back in the game.
For a left footed guy I would like to see him get to the byline and put in a decent cross from the left, which he could not do yesterday even once and like all our wingers likes to come back inside. The only guys who goes to the byline is Valencia but his crossing is something of a shocker and not sure what happens as it is not that difficult to cross a bloody football.
In general I thought Adnan was poor and so was Rooney and Welbeck and his goal masked hoe poor his first touch and some of his passing was. In Rooney's defense he is not right physically. Carrick was also not fit and quite poor and cleverly looked knackered. All in all did not deserve to lose looking at the game and the stats but that is how football goes sometimes. Should have had a penalty and you never know what would be the outcome with 6 or 7 minutes to go and a 1 man advantage.
{Ed004's Note - Tbf Januzaj didn't have the pace to get to the byline vs Walker.}
3.) Maybe we should realise that none of our strikers thrive from a strategy geared toward wingers running to the byline and whipping in a cross, and perhaps try something different? I know it's a weird idea, but I've heard that other teams sometimes play through the centre.
4.) Ed04
I realized the same thing as walker is tough customer and really gave him nothing and took the ball off of him quite a few times and for the second goal. Dembele also did a very good Job of shutting Rooney down.
5.) 02 Jan 2014 12:47:16
Kyle walker and Aron lenon and speed machine. You have to be on your toes to keep them quiet.
Adnan is a young kid, but the only dissapointmetn, He doesn't rtrack back to help evra. and Evra is the slowest in the PL. so a goal from the Left side was always looming.
6.) Attitude
I agree. If you watch the replays of the second goal, he kind of jogs bag then speed up and just when he has caught up with the play gives up and goes back to a Jog and gives Lenon the channel to leave Rooney for dead and make that run and the cross whilst also pulling vidic out of position.
What I don't get is where was our other CB Evans as it is his side of the box and where was Evra. The worse part of the goal is that it looked as if the break had fizzled out.
7.) 02 Jan 2014 14:10:23
Its shame we rely on an 18 year LW to score, track back and do everything. Nonsense.
Ashley young, If you look at the list of Richest English Plyaer would be right up there. what on earth is he getting a pay cheaque is beyond me.
You can't complain a kid of not tracking back. At home we should be 2-0 up before the first 45 mts.
We were pretty poor, let's be honest, We had the balls, and then?. Nothing, we simply failed to unlock the defence.
Its a clear Bet, If UTD doesn't score inside first 45 mts and then its almost certain we would loose the game.
8.) 02 Jan 2014 14:11:59
Willian and Hazzard would eat us down the flanks, I am worried, The only possitive, their strikers doesn't score.
Hazzard against Evra. dear oh dear.
9.) To emphasise my point about changing our tactics, from Sly:
"Manchester United top the Premier League for crosses per game, swinging in an average of 26.65 of them in their 20 league games so far this season. In the New Year's Day defeat at home to Tottenham, they took the policy to new levels. A whopping 47 crosses were lobbed goalwards for Vlad Chiriches and Michael Dawson to deal with. That was a United high for the season and more than in any game they played last term. It isn't proving an efficient use of the ball in the final third.
This is precisely the area of the field where the best teams will play an intricate through-ball to find a breakthrough. Tellingly, that's exactly what the impressive Januzaj did to create Danny Welbeck's goal on Wednesday. It leads to better quality opportunities and United are eschewing plenty of them: 423 of the 533 crosses hurled in have failed to find their target (again, a Premier League high). That's 423 chances to do something better in the last third that have been wasted."

Its been along time have posted on this site but I would lyk to correct an impression that there is not we can do against the glazers, when we have a fanbase has large has 650million
With just 5pounds contribution we would buy the club.
{Ed002's Note - And have enough left over for a great party.}
1.) 06 Dec 2013 10:30:08
Its a lovely idea, but in the real world it is woefully naive.
First of a lot of those fans are fair weather fans and wouldn't contribute, also a lot of those fans live in parts of the world where a £5 is in fact a lot of money, in some places £5 may be equal to a weeks wage. So it would be impractical to expect those people to give what would be to them a huge sum of money.
Your also assuming the Glazers want to sell, what if they don't what if they tell you they have no interest in selling the club for any price? They supposedly have turned down interest from other parties in the past when the clubs financial situation was in a worse state, why now when they are in a much stronger position would they want to sell the golden goose?
And finally even if you were able to get all the fans to contribute the money required and you managed to convince the Glazers to sell what then.
You'll have 650 million shareholders who will all have their own opinion and views on what is right for the club. So who would run it? Would you want Kloot or me or Sydney running the club? Think how many disscussion happen on this very site which has a large number of posters but a fair few less than 650 million. And we can't even all agree on simple things.
Who would manage the club? Who would be chief executive? Who would be our transfer targets? What would be the future vision of the club?
If we on here can't agree on these things then how could you expect 650 million people to agree on it.
Like I said its a lovely idea, but it is woefully impractical. Which is a shame as it means that we are at least for the time being stuck with the Glazers.

For the few times have been hear this five have been great
1.) 5 best or 5 most most egotistical?
2.) Thank you for your kind words Sammy. We are all passionate about united and want the best for the club. We hope that management are successful in the proposed signings, though barca seem to be playing hardball on cesc.
Nomidfield
3.) You forgot Gan/Ngiak! :o) Obviously Syd just for how prolific in his posting he is and Moon is always a good read, Shappy says cool stuff but the majority of the time I can't be arsed reading his essays. and Gav/Honeybadger talks a lot of sense.
I've been reading and occasionally posting for about 3 years.
4.) Just Gan.
redseven
5.) Mine would be,
Gav
Syd
GDS
Zee
Brenden

2) Jred
3) Jono
4)StevieK
5)Syd
Deeps.
9.) Sammy,
Thanks mate, I certainly don't post on here to be egotistical as some lovely people have suggested. Obviously the posters on this site are what makes the site what it is.
If I was picking a list I would to mention honeybadger, weggy, steviek, GAGUS, moon and chris the redman (CTR if he's being lazy). Me and AJH have a good connection when it comes to trying to be funny and people not understanding! Also the guys you mentioned, what a weird and wonderful bunch of united fans we are, it's like a little dysfunctional family.
I also love the no names as regulars will know, especially the ones who posted on here to slag the list of 5 of without leaving a name, classy.
10.) Syd of course ;)
Nah, on a serious note Jred and I should get paid for the amount of entertainment we provide.
I like all the posters on here. It's the no namers that troll that I cannot stand. I do miss the teams though, I think we have lost a lot of posters due to the team formations being banned.
Sydney!
11.) Shappie every time
12.) I like bfro he's got quite a lot right
and he's funny+ gds sydney boarshaw red
and mick the fireman
13.) Anybody with a reasoned arguement that does not contradict themselves is normally worth reading; except people who never sign in as they are all taking the Michael
14.) Shappy, Shahram, Dodgeybanter, Gav, Constantine.
You too Deeps ;)
15.) Also Red Man.
16.) I agree Syd, the posting of teams was a very fun element to the banter page and I miss all the dodgy formations and everyones wish lists etc.
17.) I also like crazy bipolar penguin dude.
mick
18.) When we do lists like this it makes me realise how many different good posters we have on here that I really respect the views of. Just looking down the page I have seen dodgybanter who has made me laugh out loud on many occasions and also Jono who I missed off earlier but is another favourite of mine.
19.) Lol thanks GDS
CTR ;-)
20.) 1. Ed004
2. Editor 04
3. E. D. 0. 0. 4
4. Mr. Ed004
5. Sir Ed004
21.) Hilarious Ed. {Ed004's Note - What?}
22.) Thank you Mark :). Love your posts. Its getting touchie now ;)
Deeps
23.) Pfft, don't know why I bother (cheers GDS)
24.) You know what.
25.) For what it's worth.
Stevie K - seem to agree with him most of the time
GDS - makes me laugh, probably doesn't always mean to
Dodgy - makes me laugh out loud
HB - common sense for a youngster.
There's a few who drive me to distraction but as has been mentioned it does feel like a family, albeit a dysfunctional one.
26.) Don't know why I bother haha.
27.) Gan (the man talks to penguins!)
Zee (infectious optimism)
KLOOT (always get discussion going at quiet times - clearly on purpose!
Shappy (E P I C)
Bond (for the classic putting down of Scousers!)
Great thread btw
28.) Oh alright then - AJH, MrE, GDS, Shappy, Brendan and Gav, because they tend to walk the same road as me in terms of their realistic expectations in a sea of FIFA-fuelled fantasies.
Deeps for some of the Rooney banter over the last while, which I hope, has never overstepped the line.
DodgyBanter and Gan for the humour.
Syd and Jred for their love/hate, just get a room relationship.
Honourable mentions to Zee (where are you, my man?) GAGUS, Jono, Shahram and CTR for making the effort on this great site. {Ed007's Note - Ya shower of ungrateful bams!! After me standing by your side when all the other Eds wouldn't talk to you!! Now I know how Wazza feels, it's $h!t feeling unappreciated.}
29.) Can I just say that I love that gav just changed his name to honeybadger one day and many people on here still call him gav, still makes me laugh.
30.) 23 Jul 2013 09:35:01
Well my favourite 5 to read are in no particular order except number 1.
5. GDS/G. A. G. U. S/Jred/Jono/Mick/I AM KLOOT/Weggy/DodgyBanter (couldnt decide 5)
4. The Moon
3. Sydney!
2. Shappy/Ed004 and Ed007
1. Ed02 (Eyes well up)
31.) Ah Bond, haven't heard 'bams' since my uni days in Aberdeen :)
Haven't been on the site much lately due to some of the neanderthals over here - thought you were all away, mate. {Ed007's Note - No mate just Ed002 who has given up on the Utd site for a while.}
02 Jul 2013 18:18:29
Hi eds and everyone just joined the site and am so glad I found this it have been visiting for the past couple of months and I must ay I admire the passion all u united fans are showing for the club and am glad to join the likes of sydney and co am looking forward to learning from u guys insight and knowledge.
1.) Welcome, jump right in. Mort
2.) Welcome Sammy, I have to say this is by far my favourite United forum!
3.) Welcome buddy, we are all decent people here, sometimes debates can get heated but grudges are never held.
Any info u need this is a great place to come, the eds (when here) are great,
Make sure u get an account name it really helps the banter and conversations :-)
CTR (Chris the REDman)
I meant show interest in pogba
{Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, PSG and Real Madrid all have shown an interest in Pogba. PSG are obviously in a difficult situation with UEFA and will need to sell to buy to help start balancing the books. It will make any deal for Pogba very difficult indeed. Juventus would like to keep hold of him and following a meeting with his representatives on May 8 and right now the situation remains settled - although that could change. However, Juve have decided they can probably not afford to keep both Pogba and Vidal if they are to do some business in the transfer market. There is interest from PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea still - but Barcelona may switch their attentions from Vidal.}
Ed, can you give the list of clubs showing intrest in any, are MU showing any interest.
{Ed002's Note - I don't understand the question.}
Syd depay is very good, him and januzaj together 3 yrs down the line would be immense and they would still contribute now but if they mature playing together then mu future is great.
I would love bale even though fab is a great player
Plymouth, you could ask any other club fan, if they would rather have Sturidge or Rvp, if there is one player in your team that should be compare to rvp is suarez and not sturidge.
I think the OP was refering to 20 as in age.
Shaw would be the best
Yeah that seems about ryt
OZ
januzaj would be given the No 11 when Giggs retires next season
