Incredible that despite Van Persie and Rooney being injured for the time they were and Van Persie now being in poor form, Hernandez still isn't being given a look in. Ridiculous really.
Hernandez has been pretty poor whenever he's been given an opportunity. RVP in poor form is still usually a better option than Chicarito, as much as I love the guy.
 
Playing well, good tempo, tactically fine and creating chances.

There's just one thing missing from this performance:

Kick the damn ball into the damn goal.
Yep. Playing well, just need that goal for a nice confidence boost.
 
We're playing better, but there's still too much ball watching and too few runs without the ball.
 
Might just be the microphone setup but Palace home fans are probably the loudest home team I have heard in a while.
 
To everyone responding to me... Give credit where it is due. Januzaj has commited himself to United with a 5 year contract because Moyes played him regulary and he broke through under his regime. He could've very well been another Pogba.
 
for the first time in months, some of our players seems like they're actually enjoying football a bit out there.
 
The creativity through the middle still isn't up to much and same goes for the tempo. Whilst there is more variation the end point is still by way of the flanks in most cases. Not surea about Fellaini, he's committed but as for the tactical situation there...
 
So Moyes signing Fellaini so we can play long balls up to him turns out not to be a joke.
Edit: High balls, to be fair, as we're actually getting some possession quite high up the pitch.
 
Unused sub, right?

That's right, I think we were all hoping to see him after his great performances in the reserves. But that day was all about Fergie's old boys getting a runout, Scholes and Giggs played for the last time together. Adnan didn't get on to the pitch.
 
Yes seriously? He's the one who puts things in the box. They haven't played there more than him, Everytime we defend Fellaini is there where he is supposed to be.

Ill repeat.

-Rooney and Mata are pulling strings in the middle, not Fellaini
-Mata dribbles, passes, shoots better than Fellaini. Thats whybd prefer him to be where goals come from

It's nothing against Van Persie or anybody else. The difference is that when fit, Persie has been given consistent runs in the side and a regular starter, which Hernandez hasn't been given even when our top two attacking players were out injured for large chunks of the season. You can't have Hernandez play 60-70 minutes of a one off game and act like he doesn't deserve any more chances just because he doesn't destroy the opposition. For the most part he's actually looked good when given the chance this season, somehow still goes unnoticed though.
 
It was almost as if Smalling was expecting to find a winger there, despite the fact that it was our nominally right-sided player (Mata) who passed to him in the first place
 
No wonder Eric attacked this gobby bunch of gibbons.
 
fecking hell calm down and stop- taking everything so seriously man.
:lol: ah the classic 'say calm down cause I can't think of anything else to say' move.

I'm very calm, thanks.
