West Ham United vs. Manchester United

Noodle always moans at the lineups, regardless of who's picked/what formation we play.

Just do what the rest of us do and ignore it.

From what I can recall. Every time I've said the line up was wrong this season, we've ended up changing it after things go wrong and we have to desperately chase for a result.

Clues that line up is stupid
A) players not in their position
b) ridiculously top heavy bench
c) premier league top scorer not on the pitch while other oaf about needlessly in midfield.
d) substitutions made which involve player being played out of position taken off and replaced by player who plays in that position

How long this time until he subs one of the strikers on, switches to a not completely moronic formation, and we suddenly look miles more threatening? Might even happen at half time and give us half a chance of snatching a result in a game we should be winning easily.

I want to be made to eat my words but at this rate I'll sooner be starving to death.

I am a bit confused why SAF chose not to use two strikers when West Ham are playing with two strikers. It's not like he'll deploy two strikers in the CL match. Well I wouldn't expect him too.

Gibson and Giggs off, Hernandez and Nani on, Rooney to midfield

United will roar back and win this.

i'm with you on this.
 
45 fecking mins to correct this. It'll require a lot change in attitude and extreme dedication, but we're more than capable.

Come on lads. Season defining stuff here.
 
I reckon Hernandez would have got himself a goal with the amount of balls Valencia delivered in that first half. Get him on ASAP.
 
We could really do with Chico with the amount of balls we're supplying to the box. Hopefully it happens soon and not in the 70th minute.

Replays show 2nd penalty was just outside the box and ref had a perfect view in line of it.

Not surprised really. I've no complaints about the first one, but the second one is just bollocks. Should have been a freekick just outside the area.

Genuine error though. Vidic should have been better anyway, he brought it on himself.

This has the feeling of Liverpool away all over again tbh.
 
we need to do like what arsenal did to west brom 2 weeks ago.....

This.
 
I hope mankind almost gets wiped out by a sentiment species leaving us living in a world where we're forced to use flawless androids to officiate our games.

2-0 down and getting spanked. We're on top in this game.

You'd expect people to not be claiming the league to be over, worst team ever, blah blah fecking blah with 45 minutes left in a game.

Then again this is the matchday forum so

We're not good enough, get over it.
 
7 games to go, you're 2-0 down we should have a real fecking go in the second half. There's no risk in it, we're 2-0 down, switch to 4-4-2 with Anderson Nani and Berba/Chicharo, two changes at HT and one at the 65-70th. Come on!

On top of this game with no hope in the world to score from a corner and not creating chances.

We have to get one quick. Vidic is seconds away from a red now and we all know how he can be in a losing game.

Gibson has this stupid yellow card on him so I expect him to be a substitution casualty.

It's just annoying seeing Berbatov on the bench as this is a game where he's the best player to have on the pitch. I simply can't understand why he didn't start.
 
If we score one they'll shit themselves and we'll win.

Get fecking Gibson off and Chicarito on, and keep giving Tony V the ball.

He's been head and shoulders above the other 21 players on the pitch so far.

Well, it was Chicharito warming up when we went 2 nil down.

Do you have any other explanation of why not Berbs ?

no but to suggest a falling out is a bit out there.

Maybe out of favour but not a fight between them?

Maybe chico and his pace is what is needed today, a languid berba holding up the play is not whats needed today IMO

The 5 in midfield is because of our only option for a midfield 2 was Gibson/Carrick, which isn't great defensively in front of an inexperienced defence, and isn't great going forward either. Hernandez warming up because he's more what we need - we've fizzed a number of good balls across their penalty area, perfect for Cheech. I don't think this game says anything about Berbatov or Hernandez personally.
 
Yep, our "great play" consists of crossing the ball into the box and hoping it'll bounce off someone's arse in. We offer nothing else.

League is done if we lose today.

We'll still be ahead if we lose today. And we're Manchester United. It's far from done if we lose today, it just becomes more difficult.

It will be 'done' if we don't get the results we need against Chelsea and Arsenal. Until then nobody's throwing in the towel.
 
Rooney is useless off the ball, Valencia has put in two balls, one in particular which Hernandez would definitely have scored. Giggs' delivery is way too wishful to be played in the first fecking half. Carrick is a coward, he wasn't terrible or anything, he's just not up for it enough.
 
My miserable jinxing is not working.

Nothing we can do apart from sit back and watch.
