How shit has Cleverley been? Worst performance I'v seen from a Utd player for a long time.
Yeah, that's a yellow.
I wish I could unread this. Jinx.
Not a good tackle.
Yep. RVP's played some lovely football and our defence hasn't really been tested. Some much for the bigging up of Swansea the current "Carling Cup" holders.
We won't finish this with 11 men
Anothet yellow a bit worrying.
FFS two CM's booked on a wet pitch...not good
Clev is having an absolute shocker
Aaand another silly Cleverley foul.
couldnt have done any more to avoid fouling the player. Not sure that is a yellowe ither.Dowd really wants to send someone off.
Some tactical subs required to keep all 11 on the field, you feel.
At least Cleverley earnt his yellow
great header there from Jones
I'd have said that as well but given how rubbish Cleverley has been he's the one who has to go IMO.
Kagawa for Giggs, Ando for Clev
You not watching Giggs today then?
I'd go along with that.
Maybe that is how we need to play Clev/Ando. One half each.
Half time thoughts:
- Slow, slightly rusty opening. Classic "first day back" United, especially on an away day.
- Toni looking more confident, maybe the shirt change is a good thing after all.
- Slightly disappointed with my first matchday in the mains. I thought the meltdown was bad in the newbies last year, but some of the stuff being posted in here is beyond belief:
i.e. three dodgy passes from Giggs and kneejerk response that he's past it and has no place on the team ~ The man is still class, has a wonderful footballing brain, patience, composure, and can still do a job for us. I'd say that assist for RvP sums up his quick thinking and vision.
I'm not trying to sound like a 'top red' tosser, merely wishing that some here would have a little patience, stop thinking they know better, and throwing their toys out the pram that we don't dominate from the 1st minute and go 5-0 up before the break.

Clevs hasn't been too bad, just needs to calm down
Precisely what's needed.
Half of champions.
How the feck is Shelvey playing in this Swansea team. Slow and rubbish and it has certainly benefitted us.

Smash and grab - pleased for Danny, particularly.
Cleverley has been much worse.
Evra's crossing has improved so much. One assist in the Community Shied and contributed to our 2nd.
Good thing that Swansea is not consequent when it comes to finishing. Play until the box is good, but then they get lost.
Sigh, Clev doesnt seem to be good enough atm
Of course I am, you didn't see that he at least got an assist then?
Yes, the same Giggs who got our assist. People need to understand his role. He is there to provide magic, and he did. Yet again.
RVP and Welbeck have been fantastic.
Cleverley and Giggs absolutely shocking.
Also, why do we only seem to be able to control a match in terms of possession and composure once we're ahead? Its like we need the lead to calm the nerves or something. Very strange.

I know Moyes has his reasons and is a little restricted in the side he could start today, but how Kagawa and Anderson can't get in this side ahead of Guggs and Cleverley is a mystery.
Not the best half of football for us, and going into half time 2-0 flatters us some what. Not that I'll complain.
Apart from Jones, Val, Clev and partly Giggs everyone has done pretty well out there. Especially RvP and Evra have been class imo.
What Cleverley is doing out there I don't know though.

His cross for RVP early on was excellent too
Keys in mourning, and looking like a freeze-dried hedgehog to boot.
Not sure I've ever seen Giggs play that bad.
Happy with the result of the first half, but not so much with the game. Swansea dominated the passing and I am not liking how deep is playing our defense. Cleverley has been really awful IMO, while Jones offers very little offensively. On bright side, RVP, Giggs and Danny have been very good.
So much focus on Lindegaard in the first half.
