Hull City vs. Manchester United

I think De Laet will surprise a few people today. IMO his best performance for the reserves at full-back. Quick, strong and aggresive, with a decent left foot. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on.

:cool:

Yeah, ok, self-quoting twice is a bit much (not to mention the sin that is using the cool smilie) but feck it, I'm feeling smug...
 
fecking delay, I flicked over to the Newcastle game for a bit and saw the Barcoads celebrating so I knew we'd scored. I hope they sort this out for the second half....
 
De Laet reminds me a lot of Carragher, similar style of play but a lot less cnutish of course.

Outstanding defensively but he has a very heavy touch which he'll have to work on. But impressive nonetheless.
 
Weve been very average imo.

Martin is never going to get a game in our first team.
De Laet, is quick and looks a good tackler, but in terms of being a footballer, rubbish.
Macheda, frustrates me with his final ball, Im unsure on him.

Can always rely on Scholesy for a glimpse into the abyss.

Mad as a cut snake, he is. Completely barking.

Luca.
Modric.

Nice performance so far, De Laet, Gibson, Macheda playing good. Welbeck made a sweet run as well. Brown is solid as well, so he'd make the bench for Barca imo.

Having watched the highlights at Villa Park, the barcodes doesn't deserve to go down. Hull are plain terrible. Shittiest team since January and with a big margin.
 
Like to see Tosic come on for Martin and play a straight 4-4-2. One highlight of the half was a long ball flicked on by Welbeck to Macheda who just shot narrowly wide. Other than that the two young strikers haven't linked up as much as we'd like.

Also wouldn't mind seeing James get a few minutes towards the end.
 
:lol: @ the barcodes.

but how embarrassing are Hull? They're supposed to be fighting for their lives and yet haven't come close to causing our reserves any problems, playing at home too!

Hope the results stay the same. Villa scoring a couple of early goals second half will be perfect.
 
I find it hilarious that we scored to send Newcastle fans into ecstasy only to build up their hopes to crash even further when they get scored on. Way to send them on an emotional roller coaster.

We could always hold it over their heads if we save them. Hell we could just hold it over their heads if we win and they still blow it as we could always say that we did everything we could to save them, they were just too shit to stay up.

They'll go down next season.
 
We have been though.

Whenever the ball gets played back to PIG, theres no composure.

De Laets touch is gash. No real technique. Looks a good athlete/tackler, but has been beater everytime in the air, so probably not a central defender.

Machedas pass straight out of play? Very very poor. He gives it away alot of the time and Im having my doubts.

Martin, should be sold. Hes not a bad player, but he just isnt United quality. And whines and groans alot.
 
De Laet has actually surprised me so far, he looks like a very decent defender.
Hull are Championship quality though, they hardly ever troubled our 'third team'. That's not taking anything away from our young team, we are playing well.

I'd like to see Boro just edging it, but it is almost impossible to happen. I can see us beating Hull with a margin, but not WH to lose...
 
Martin or Nani presumably while Welbeck moves up front to play with Macheda. I really want to see him play he's been impressive in the reserves lately.

I wouldnt change a thing at the moment, teams playing and working well together no sense in changing it up just for the sake of it. Maybe with 15 mins left or so.
 
Actually it would be even better if the barcodes score and then we score 3 own goals to relegate them.

Would add a good bit of spice to our future games, if they ever manage to come back up.

No chance. I'd rather Southgate and his band of wankers feck off to the Championship where they belong.

The composure should really be coming from Neville but he looks a mess. The youngsters need leadership on the pitch and I don't think they are getting it

Get in there.

Neville's been ok but PIG has been as dodgy as ever at the big. He seriously does not inspire confidence and we better pray that VDS gets through Wednesday ok.

christ your hard on them..

you've seen 45 mins of first team football from de laet and you think you can write him off?

macheda scores 2 in his first 2 games and is only SEVENTEEN

arent you being a tad rash sonny??
