@WayneRooney And Me!!!!!

lulz

It seems that ppl fail to understand why we put such line up yesterday. Even SAF said the plan was to tire them out then put wayne, nani and hernandez towards the end and go for the win. We've got so many important games coming up such as the UCL which we obviously need to win, and derby to Man City. Why should we risk go against a team whose form is not consistent. Since wayne and co. just got back from international duty, it's good for them to be fresh for the UCL clash and the Top of the Table clash with our neighbours. We can't win all the time....there's ups and downs. Their so called 'best fans in the world' can butt hurt all they want but for me, if you can't win at home, u are not good..haha 

Even if this happens, it doesnt change the fact that Man Utd were playing badly yesterday. With your eyes, you saw the game and yet you guys can live in denial and keep pointing on Liverpool diving. Dive or no dive, MU were still underpar. Accept reality or you watch the replay. Am really mystified. No Rooney or Nani? Seems to forget in March those 2 fellas were on and the result was 3-1 thrashing. You should thanked Alex Ferguson for not being foolish as you guys or else yesterday would have been an embarrassing outcome for you guys.

By the way, my prediction for next week:

Manchester United 1    Manchester City 4

5 goals all score by MC. Why? Because even the solitary goal is an own goal by MC. 

Well from the game I think our midfield did well compared to previous Anfield games.

That makes me wonder, is Giggs should start a game or be a important substitute option? So far he had done well when being subbed on, the only game when he plays well when he started is Leeds (and Benfica?) I think. But looking at the situation yesterday when we are due to play in Romania later and Cleverley still unfit, I think starting Giggs yesterday make sense.

Over the years I think Park is suitable to play behind striker role like Giggs' position yesterday, but seems SAF didn't think so.

COme on. You guys kept saying this every season "Money dont buy you success immediately". So why would you think we should not just aim for top 4?We will need time to gel. In years to come, it will be unpredictable because MU, MC, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool all can win the BPL. And I actually prefer to see this happen. If your team keep winning for the next 100 years, i guess you will switch off the TV also. So not competitive.

I think our midfield wasn't totally bossed. Fletcher & Jones put a decent shift yesterday, the latter a bit off after his collision with Lucas.

So after this anyone still consider Jones in midfield? For me, why not? Although it is better to put him in his natural position anyway.

i wanna see Jones as DM too.but problem is

-the twins and vidic is still not around.and Ferdinand is always out as well(Evans? i won't go there)

-even if the twins and Vidic is around,with our current system works wonders for us(442 system),i don't see where Jones going to fit in the midfield

we stick with 442 since last season.last time i saw SAF deployed anything other than 442 is when we fought Scuntorphe in Carling cup.and looking at our performance so far,i don't see SAF gonna change it in near future

but i'm prefer Jones+vidic partnership in centre back.
Evans not consistent & slow.

so far, the defense area still look fragile .. really need good combination & establish partnership.
Normally, SAF will maintain with the regular partnership in defense, but so far this season , injuries  really make a different in back four

Fergie had no choice. He had to put Evans as CB bcoz he can't play in another pos as well as he played as CB.

But yeah I like to see Vidic + Jones partnership too! 

Man I don't know what to say man. Now they are saying they need more strikers with better finishing.. I mean, come on you already got Suarez, the guy that scores 40+ goals in 1 season albeit in a weaker league but he's still a very good striker, what a waste 

OT: Barca got a penalty in the last minute but can't convert it, lol.
