Any particular reason as to why we are playing in last seasons kit??

BAAAAAAD OMEN

Get it sorted.
 
I think Mulumbu IS their best player. Been a fan of his since he played against Liverpool at the end of the 08/09 season.

They've signed Shane Long now, so he might feature.

That's if it takes place.
 
If it goes on, Odemwingie and Mulumbu have been confirmed fit.

Edit: Actually that was BS, they're still 'hopeful' they're fit. But I'm pretty sure that'll mean they're in.
 
My only concern is De Gea... the 2nd City goal seemed rather poor...

Great idea, let's drop de Gea and destroy his confidence due to one error.

Welbeck's a doubt? =o
 
Hope Welbeck still makes the bench on Sunday.

Bebe did his cruciate while out with the Portugal U21's, he's out for 6 months but he was on loan anyway.

1 match = 1 error :nervous:

Hope it's his last for a long time, I hope you remember that we've had some really good keepers but some really shit ones too who had a very bad impact on our defensive line... :(

We'll see...
 
Match looks to be going ahead. From the BBC:

In the next few minutes the Premier League will announce that the remaining 9 matches planned for this weekend will go ahead, writes the BBC's sports news correspondent Dan Rowan. Only Spurs vs Everton postponed.

Young and error prone =/= shit


I've watched him at Atletico and he's looked like one of the biggest goalkeeping prospects in recent years. However, he was error prone there at times aswell. It really is such a massive, massive season for him as a player. I've always liked him as a keeper since he first broke in the Atleti's team, and I wish for both him and the club that it works out.

Well, VDS beats that. He made errors against Barcelona and West Brom at Old Trafford.

2 matches = 2 errors.

Therefore, VDS is twice as error prone as De Gea.

I mean, if we are allowed to cherry pick, I could go on like this all day. I could even write a book about how every goalkeeper in history has been error prone as they have made at least one error in every game that they have made an error in. It would be a fascinating read, I'm sure.
 
Glad it's going ahead!

Look forward to going, pity I'm in the Albion end :(
 
Lindegaard
Fabio, Rio, Vida, Evra
Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Young
Rooney, Berba

Bench: De Gea, Giggs, Cleverly, Smalling, Park, Welbeck, Jones.
 
De Gea needs games and he needs to get used to Premier League football sooner rather than later.

I don't want to see him rotting on the bench - this is Manchester United not Real Madrid.
 
I dont get the calls for for De Gea to be dropped from some, OK so he had a dodgy first half V City , but the second half was excellent and he pull of a few good saves.
His first major match and I thought he was excellent.
