Big game against Arsenal on Thursday, never give up. Valencia needs to play, can give Gibbs a good time again

They don't have Riise as a defensive wall Their fullbacks are pretty timid but pacey. Can outmuscle them with Valencia

The big f***ing German

I hope Jones will be fit by Thursday morning, he can mark Ozil again. Gotta agree on Wilshere, he is the man to watch.

Yup, he will get the sticks and boos, but who cares. RVP is on form at the moment

Gotta agree on the 65mil. But right now the market is inflated, players that are deemed with 'potential' or currently on-form will result to a sky-high valuation. We do not need 'superstars' players, with 65mil, I am pretty sure we are able to sign decent players that fetch a far lower price than the ones paid for Fellaini for instance. The price for Fellaini is indeed overpriced..still have yet to see him justifying his pricetag.

Mata's deal seems alright. Chelsea's best player for two seasons, able to play multiple positions and 3 assists in 3 games, sounds like a pretty good start to me. While Fellaini is still nursing his everlong injuries that is pilling up as the days goes by.. he has a big shoe to fill to justify his pricetag.

That formation inside your seluar

Match day!!

Hence the rally for our #kayuOUT campaign over the summer

Coach sino will give the players a good 'lesson'

Tight game. Defensively very sound but the forwards needs to make something happen hmm

It's okay. When you get a new phone, can always take picture of your 'montot' and share, xblh lari Awaiting your update

later chung's phone jam/stuck lagi

Region 2

Otherwise I'll consider. Our local players can support Region 3 only


Mata is more versatile than Kagawa. Mata can play on the flanks..while Kagawa only operates behind the striker, CAM, CF.

Maximize every potential given to him? So when Wenger deploys Oxlade Chamberlain at CDM a few weeks ago even when he is a winger, does that mean that Wenger is wrong? Or maybe when Lahm is RB and Pep operates him as a CDM, he is wrong too? Does that mean that they are poor managers?

Do you know that every players has their own workrates? There are players with high defensive workrates even when they are attackers? For example, Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria. Sure they can attack, they have tons of stamina, is it wrong for them to help out the defense? Di Maria tracks back a lot because Ronaldo doesn't. Just like Tony V. The reason why SAF pick him more than Nani is because of his willingness to track back and help out the defense and counter attack whenever possible.

Are you implying that forwards should just stay at the middle circle waiting for the ball to arrive at their feet? David Moyes loves to deploy his full backs to carry the ball forward, hence you can see why Evra and Rafael are attacking a lot and sending in crosses, but it backfires on Evra because he doesn't return to his position fast enough while Baines will run backward whenever he looses the ball.

So from your statement, attackers should just be attackers. No need to help the defense. I wonder if a manager tells Wayne Rooney, 'Look Wayne, you shouldn't play a deep role, your job is to supply and score', do you think he will listen? It's his natural instinct to track back and help because he was Wayne Rooney.

And to those who are arguing about Mata being wasted on the wings, did you know that Mata originally played on the wings during his days at Valencia? No you didn't. You just assumed that his best position is CAM or CF because he has been playing here for 2 seasons? Lel. Even if he is playing on the flanks, 4 games, 3 assists. Enough? Just accept the fact that Mata can play in multiple positions and he is happy about it, instead of whining.

If Kagawa wants to leave the club, go ahead. He is better off at another club outside of England. His style of football doesn't suit our style, talented no doubt, just not the right league for him.

PS: Don't go for Sino's interview session, you don't wan to be in his 'good' books

Chung submitted already, still got vacancy meh?

I do agree that David Moyes is not very good with his tactics of late, but I was comparing about the different roles assigned to them by their managers even if it is not their original position. To be honest, players should be listening to the manager, because the manager is the figurehead of the team. I believe if SAF was around, no one would dared to question his authority, well maybe Keano but one thing for sure, the players have to respect their manager. Sure David is new to the club, maybe the players don't like him or he is just not as motivating as SAF, but the players need to respect him as their manager, listen to him eventhough it is not always correct.

I think Rooney's habit is this. He hates losing. Whenever the team is in trouble, he needs to be there to save them, forgetting his role as a forward. I have no issues with that, but at times Rooney can counter well, if you remember occasionally he does long-balls forward to the strikers in front, RVP/Chica etc. Mata will be fine, he enjoys his current role, playing multiple positions. Because his main role is currently occupied by Rooney, for the sake of avoiding Rooney's sulking temper /attitude or senior role at the club, Mata is has to give way, playing in another position.

As of now, I appreciate Mata's contribution to the club. His first touch is excellent, something that Wayne Rooney must look into. I foresee Rooney changing into a deeper role as he age on, maybe as a CM, there he can defend and distribute the ball at the same time. That last line wasn't meant for you, was speaking in general. Kagawa is a great player, just our play doesn't suit him. Heck, even SAF cannot make full use of his potential, always playing in different roles.

As long as David Moyes is the manager of the club, he has my respect. Of course not to the extend of supporting blindly, everyone has their limits. It's fine to share ideas and criticism, it's football after all, but not to the extend of calling the manager 'stupid'. Sure he made a few mistakes over the past weeks but I am still optimistic that he will change the tides around. He is given a 6 years contract for a reason, I believe it's time for him to show to everybody why he was the 'Chosen One'.

Cheers

Looks like someone is getting back in-shape? Media hinting that he might return to football, and Old Trafford as a possible destination. Second-time coming for Van the Man?

RVN & RVP

Must be some Xbox promo for FIFA

But on the sidenote, he speaks so fluently

150 goals for us, will never forget him. RVN 10

Rooney on the brink of signing a new contract, 300k a week. But the question is.. will that change his mind about leaving? Hard to bet on, who knows, next year he might want to leave us again, seems like he's been doing it rather frequent lately. meh

Agreed. Let's just hope he is settled now, commercially, he is the person that Nike would recommend the club to tie down because Nike sponsors the club and Rooney is an ambassador for Nike, just like what Nike tried to do with Ronaldo, contributing a little for the 'supposed' transfer back to OT But yeah, some may say that his goal tally is not worthy of a striker, but his passion is still burning, the desire to win.

Moyes must be proud. If he can stay on until Rooney retires, he will be the only manager who gave him a debut at 16 years old and watch him retire That is only he can stay that long

He started off as a CAM, he was going forward and all, later he then became a CM, a more defensive approach. Such a pity, was always hoping for him to become something big, seems all has been fiddled out

Uncle RVN, we don't print money or bankrolled by Arabs wor.. Manaada $ for both? Unless we sell DDG to Barca for £50mil

Sounds pretty similar to Wayne Rooney with Chelsea
