Jessie off Mata in ? :O

 

[Skills]

Our midfielders are 34, 30 and 29 and this is the second week in a row that we have faded in the second half.

Coincidence?

Rashford isn't having much luck today.

Our midfielders are also shit.

 

[rooney2009]

Poor 2nd half so far

 

[2 man midfield]

Our midfielders are also shit.

Bingo.

 

[space]

Some say Micheal Carrick is still turning

 

[christinaa]

Let's see how Mata takes on Kante

 

[Summit]

Done watching this.

Are you Jake in disguise?

 

[LeftyBlaster]

Ulloa isn't very good is he.

 

[DWelbz19]

Drinkwater has an awful haircut

Looks like he's doing a really bad job of dealing with a receding hairline

 

[Sassy Colin]

I'd like to think Rooney is coming off for Mata, I am sure that is wishful thinking though

 

[100]

How come we can't play well for more than 25 mins in a game?

Teams adjust eventually to how we setup and then we take 45 minutes to react to their adjustments - usually by substituting one of our full backs

 

[Stretford End Phil]

If Rooney was a big time midfielder he would get a grip of this game, but he hasn't got that presence.

 

[devilish]

Carrick turning as fast as the titanic

That's the first time Carrick had been fast in anything

 

[Lennon7]

Blind's growing on me recently

 

[kouroux]

It makes sense for a diver to act like they were fouled. It doesn't make sense for Mahrez to act like he wasn't fouled if he was. All I'm saying is that if the player who was "fouled" isn't even acting as if he thinks it should be a penalty, then it probably wasn't a penalty. Plus, you know, it actually wasn't a penalty.

I can really understand not thinking it was a pen. It is an opinion after all but using Mahrez's smile as a reason to explain it, that doesn't work for me.

 

[Norris]

I think Memphis should have come on instead of Mata... Need someone to stretch Simpson...

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Our midfielders are also shit.

Based on the two first half performances in question, they're not shit. They're not mobile enough though.

 

[GiddyUp]

It like Jack Charltan's Irish team. Long balls up to Tony Cascarino and no one within 30 yards

 

[Summit]

ah...the rooney lob is back.

 

[Needham]

To really kick on I think we need a new stadium.

 

[Stack]

There is something about Lingard that makes me think of Welbeck. That hope that he becomes a great player but the reality being he is sort of caught in limbo, somewhere between possibly great and quietly average.

 

[Vida5Nick]

Get a grip.

Van Gaal lost his several months ago.

 

[ha_rooney]

Rooney needs to stop chipping. Never works.

 

[LARulz]

Rooney chip

 

[Bojan11]

Oh feck off Rooney.

 

[2 man midfield]

Ah, there's Rooney's customary chip.

 

[kouroux]

feck off Rooney

 

[JTW95]

Why did Rooney chip it?

 

[Laphroaig]

From what I could see, Huth was climbing on him and had his hand on his head, the pull on the hair seemed to start around the same time that Fellaini was gearing up to elbow him.

At any rate, a tug of the hair and an elbow to the throat, two wildly different things.

Technically the guys in the noggie studio is right. It's a penalty to us and a red card to both of them, well, at least to Fellaini, but probably Huth as well. And a longer ban for Fellaini.

Comparisons between Fellaini and Cantona is daft. The king played 20 years ago, it was a different game then. Violentish stuff wasn't as frowned upon and as far as I remember the bans for episodes that the videos caught and the refs missed wasn't prevalent.

FFS Rooney and his chips.

 

[NJM78]

Feck off Wayne.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Rooney has been looking for that chip again his entire career. They used to come regularly enough for him in his youth.

 

[Aporkalypse]

Blind's growing on me recently

I think he's a superb candidate for the Carrick role.

 

[Mr Smith]

Where was the shot there? Fellani should be swinging his foot at that.

 

[Rado_N]

Someone needs to make a compilation video of Rooney and his million failed chip efforts and tweet it to him.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

I fecking hate those chip attempts from Rooney.

 

[Piratesoup]

That chip goes in 0/10000 tries

 

[christinaa]

Oh no Wayne! Cantona did it much better!

 

[Raw]

Ah the Rooney chip.

 

[Drifter]

A Rooney chip.

 

[Brinky]

The Rooney chip
