I think Kagawa has shown his worth. Much rather keep him than Chicharito as much as I hate to say it

Back 3 with Vidic and any two of our other CBs would be solid IMO.
Fantastic watching the scousers squirm after that. 
LvG really sorted the team out and they came out and put Liverpool right in their place.
Now for signings, we can really strengthen this team and end up with something pretty special. I think we've probably got the best central attack in the league by some distance already.

Nani looks uninterested, even in the pic. He is definitely off.
Ricky Lambert was utter shite. He looked like he'd just wandered out of a pub onto the pitch.
I think the current squad even without any additions, would be a very good shout for a top 4 finish.
Shaw looks like he'll enjoy winning trophies
Nani with a Vidal-like smile there.
I really felt for Kagawa last season and was confident he'd flourish under Van Gaal. Unfortunately for him there's the small problem of a sensational Spaniard standing in the way of him being a nailed on starter.
thats fecking racist, i'm quite offended
Yeah i dislike Valencia with a passion, his play style, mistakes and general untalented being just makes my blood boil.
Still, at least with the new formation he won't have to compete with Rooney anymore
really hope we don't sell him
I'm sure we'll need both Mata and Kagawa for the coming season
I don't get it, I watched mata closely today. lots of tidy touches but nothing constructive. very poor defensively-letting players run of him. Touched the ball a handful of times in the second half. took a shot which deflected. Still scored to be fair. He was okay today, certainly not sensational
Herrera
Rooney - Kagawa
Mata - RvP - Januzaj
Wouldn't mind seeing how this works out for 1 match :P

What a sapp!
Shaw looking cocky already, encouraging signs.
Someone please photoshop Rodgers face onto the man in the white polo. Please.
Also, needs more Cashley.
I think we'd need more cover in midfield to be honest. LvG really has a tough task picking the front Five players though. Who do you leave out!?
Stirling will start to bite people soon...
Not sure if serious? I'm quite familiar with Warren Sapp's personality. He's a straight up clown. And my comment was a dig at him looking like a overgrown fat kid on a free year's supply of cake. Besides, I've already used my "racist" remark earlier when I confused Ibe for Sterling.
the team with league and champions league winners have to prove a point whereas the duds with books written on their second place finish don't.Depends on the match up really. But i think Mata will just be rotated with Kagawa mostly with Mata being the starter.
That comeback was beautiful
I didn't actually think we were that good, but we still bossed it. Liverpool only really looked threatning on the break.

I think you're right. It's crazy though up top. We still have RvP and Januzaj to return as well!
Kagawa was not only decent enough to earn a pass, he's also noted by LVG to be one of his best passers, surely something he values given the style of play he's trying to implement.
Agree with Nani and Ando, but I dunno about Fellaini.
I mean I'm well aware he's been shit under Moyes (at United), but honestly apart from De Gea, Januzaj and Rooney who wasn't? I think Fellaini isn't nearly as bad a player as the season he's had (injuries didn't help) would make you think. True, he might be going regardless, but I'd like to see LVG try and utilize him.
Chicharito is someone I wouldn't want to leave by any means, but I'm guessing he's as good as gone.
My guess is
OUT: Hernandez (sadly), Nani, Anderson.
OUT on loan: Zaha, Lingard, Powell
IN: 1 CB (possibly also a midfielder, but I doubt it, if anything I expect a winter/next summer midfield signing)
Realistic options (ones whose names have been thrown about, not ones we could afford):
Hummels, Vermaelen, or you can take a wild pick at a random Dutch player apparently.
Bit harsh!! He's always like this. I feel a bit sad if he's off (although it might be inevitable eventually. I would prefer to keep Kagawa for sure.

Some of these writers write utter shite. I could write better analysis than this may be.

Is the man in white photo shopped too. LOL

Trust you to bring that up ya rascal ye..All i said was, we need upgrades in certain areas - i dont see the problem with what i said at all. Every transfer thread & many others this summer, have spoken of our need to upgrade
Big plus at CB has been Blackett, & Smalling for the best part, Jones to the lesser extent & Jonny havin a predominantly a great pre-season, apart from tonight's game - same as Fletch in CM.
We can criticise posters for comments they make all we want, but LvG would be a fool to go with what he has for the season. Its too risky & we'll get found out if we want to win the Prem & that surely has to be the aim - not 4th, aka - 3rd best loser..
Refreshing really. I'm seeing some bite in our midfield after a long long time.That comeback was beautiful
I didn't actually think we were that good, but we still bossed it. Liverpool only really looked threatning on the break.
I thought about the same thing today. Even though we look quite shaky today when Liverpool pressed us, the overall defense has been quite impressive through out the whole tour. And you gotta give most of credit to van Gaal - the most experienced CB we have is Evans (26) - how he managed to get 5 20-26yo kids to understand a 3-CB defense system in about 2 weeks, I would never know.
And people naturally worries about our goals when we play with one more defender and one less attacker. Turns out we look fine with average 3 goals per game. The main improvement has been on our passing and fast movements, especially during counter attacks.
Its always the same old heads jumping in to get a dig in, because of previous disagreements. Very tacky to say the least.
I couldnt give a shite what you think or say..
Yes, we definitely need one, or two more, depending on what happens in the next few days.
