Nani brilliant? He's done some great things, but made a lot of really bad passes too.


His overall play has been very good. Even if you look just at the end product, 3 superb crosses which we really should have converted 1 if not 2 of. He'l always lose the ball at times and misplace passes as he plays a risky game, i'd much rather see that than see our winger turn back and pass to Jones everytime.
 
What match are half you watching?

We've generally looked good and should have put away one of the chances that fell to Hernandez/Ando/Rooney. We've looked dangerous when Kagawa and Nani have gotten the ball to feet with time to turn/cross, we just need to take care of the final ball/finishing. Defensively we need to keep our concentration because West Brom have had a couple of decent chances themselves, from our brainfarts.
 
Nani has been good but please somebody take the corner kicks, please !!!

Rooney should be taking them, Nani's near-post floaters are eroding my soul, he obviously copied that from Giggs.
 
Nani, I love you like a brother I rarely speak to, but lift your cnuting corners over the first man.
 
I think Nani, Kagawa and Rooney are showing some decent movement but we aren't quite clicking and look shaky defensively.

I would say its not our defence but a lack of protection from midfield that's the real problem
 
Get VP on, and it's finally the front 4 we've been waiting for.

Why do I think he won't come on until about 75mins tho, when one of Kagawa and Nani has already been subbed.
 
I always thought that when Hernandez build-up play is brilliant, his sharpness in the box lacks a bit, it's usually either/or.

I don't think we've been as poor as a few drama queens are moaning out though. Some good play from us missing the final ball. Anderson, Kagawa and Nani have all had good games imo, and Evans at the back.

Very true. Risk = Reward. That's what the real Man Utd are all about. I'll choose players who attempt that every time.
 
They should have scored twice, I wouldn't say we're in control at all, we've knocked it about quite well in short bursts, but if I was the West Brom manager I'd think we're there for the taking.


We have been like this for the last 13 months at home against what people consider the lesser teams. We really give any of them a good trashing anymore.
 
Also worth noting that while Jones has been ok, he's once again underlining why he's not a FB. Time and time again both Kagawa and Nani have done good work, getting the ball early in space and cutting inside, but have had to wait for ages before their fullbacks turn up to make the run on the outside. Rafael and Evra would be producing so much more.
 
He's beaten Ridgewell one-on-one for most of the half. Should have had a free kick near the end of the half for that blatant piece of obstruction. I'd rather see Nani out there trying to make things happen than Valencia with his stop-start-stutter stuff (Been working on me alliteration).


Some of Nani's crosses getting right behind the defenders have been excellent as well. I thought Hernandez would be throwing himself at them.
 
Hernandez for Adnan

Stick Rooney up top and slide Kagawa into the middle

Well Anderson offers nothing in that regard so Carrick is on his own in there but I think we look susceptible on both flanks as well.
 
I'll be disappointed in Moyes if we don't come flying out of the gates in the second half. There's no excuse not to be overrunning this very poor West Brom side.
 
Mike Phelan is a pretty awful pundit. Monotone doesn't even come close.
