Manchester United vs Newcastle United

Because he wasn't up against such an inept LB as Patrice Evra every week. We should be very concerned with how lazy and sloppy Evra has become.

Do you do anything other than criticise Evra?
 
What? He's been one of our best players!

The only really decent ball Obertan put in was due to Evra being fecked after winning a ball and dribbling it 40 yards and then the move breaking down leaving him to leg it another 70 yards to get back in.

I really can't believe you actually think this, he's been a liability. Overran has beat him at least a half a dozen times.

One of our best players?! There's a reason Newcastle have sent literally everything down his wing - every single half chance they've had has come down our left. He's just not closing Obertan down at all in one on one situations. He's also done feck all going forward apart from the 40 yard run you mentioned which finished with him giving it away.

He's been like this for a long time now.
 
Think we'l finally convert the chances that we create. to finish 2-0.
 
I really enjoyed that half (despite us not being 12 up by half time, obviously).

Proper game of football.

Carrick has been good but we're just missing a little spark from the middle I feel, its a little too pedestrian in there at times.

Get the wingers back on the right sides and start stretching them a bit. Hernandez has been unlucky in the first half, hopefully he gets a few chances in the second half aswell, I'd put money on him putting one away.

Overall enjoyable half of football, we started off brilliantly, then Newcastle came back into it. Come out flying in the second half and I think we'll have too much for them.

yup, i enjoyed it too and like i said earlier i reckon this game will be won in the last 30 mins when newcastle tire and when ben arfa has been sent off.
 
We are like a painter, with a canvas and brushes - but no paint
 
I don't think we have at all, but to compare us to Stoke and Blackburn is ridiculous.

I wasn't, I was just saying once you've watched a match like that you really appreciate how well we play even if we aren't meeting our high standards.
 
Yep was just thinking exactly the same! :lol:

I like match day threads. They're very primal in nature. Someone does something great and everyone goes nuts in excitement. Someone fecks up you have ten posts of frustation. It's fun, it's peoples immediate first reaction rather than a well thought out opinion.
 
Yes! 1-0 United. Hernandez.
