    QPR are really shit. Sandro and Fer are rated by some people, I've very rarely seen Fer play a good game.

    Anyway, Herrera, Blind and Di Maria look very good.

    Excellent half. The tempo still needs to increase but it's far far better then the past few games and at last we have been more clinical with two well taken goals by Herrera and Rooney. Angel Di Maria has been the big man today though, by far the biggest creator of danger. Only Evans and De Gea for me were noticeably poor, the former in particular responsible for a number of suicide balls. Hoping for a tab more stability from them in the second half.

    We certainly have the players to compete at the top so now the confidence needs to match that. Hopefully we can build that up starting from this.
    DDG has not been poor he made one wrong choice trying to be proactive granted but poor no no no!

    Defence needs to gel and it will. I think Chelsea will have some serious competition from us.
    Don't get carried away, it's QPR, if we start doing this against last season's top 4, then you can perhaps start saying things like that :)

    I don't even think the attack has clicked yet and RVP needs a little turn in form.

    Then we'll see what's up.

    One Love!

    Favorite thing is seeing Blind take the ball off the back 4 and get the ball forward. Makes transition so much more smooth.

    Daley blind has been the best player on the pitch for me. Lost the ball only once. If he plays the whole game he will likely have over 100 passes with almost 100 percent rating.

    RVP seems to be coming over the right side a bit too much for my liking, I'm not sure if its because Mata plays almost like a CF.

    and Rooney, please stay up top around the box stop dropping deep!!

    :drool:Beautiful, entertaining football

    Di Maria is going to bring the excitement of Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.

    Loving it!

    QPR are making us look a lot better than we actually are. They aren't even trying to play, very poor from them. It's great for us to build some confidence though.

    Our season starts here it seems. Di Maria is going to tear this league up. Blind solid. Herrera shaping up really well

    Evans not good enough for where we're going. Crap myself every time he's on the ball his distibution is atrocious. Bailed DDG out I know but he remains a liability. RVP looks so off his game. Falcao on for second half please.

    6-0 would be nice :D

    Di Maria has been phenomenal, all over the pitch, the best player in the game.
    Blind composed and good, like he's been here for a while. Rojo has been very good too, him and Di maria on the left is a joy to watch.
    Rafael is back and boy is he back, has been great. Blackett very good too.
    Herrera is the midfielder we've been missing, running, passing, opening himself for a pass.
    Mata has finally been visibile too, very active.

    Rooney with an assist and a goal but haters wont let it to of course. Assist -it's sthing anyone could have done.
    Goal - keeper's fault.
    Blackett really looks the real deal. With more experience maybe one day he will be an automatic selection for us.

    Rafael always makes a huge difference to our team. Without him we really lack an outlet on the right flank. Two seasons ago when we won the title it was no coincidence that he was relatively injury free and was absolutely in top form.

    Jamie Redknapp thought that Di Maria was shooting on that free kick...
    He was , when you have a free kick like that you shoot and except that one of your teammates or opponents touch the ball.

    Thks gents. I usually watch United matches but unfortunately can´t today because of work related stuff. Wanted to see his debut
    You've missed a crazy first half, a different team.

    Falcao must be pleased looking on, at least when he come on there's no extra pressure (if we were losing)

    Evans and Blind have looked very good today. Blind looks like a bargain for 14 million.

    RVP and Rooney are average as shit at the moment. If they would be on on form we'd see some proper fireworks. Blind and Di Maria have been fantastic.

    I've been impressed with the impact that Rafael has had. We've missed his penetration. Also, Herrera looks the part.

    I agree. It's been great seeing Rafael back, he's another one of those players that provides some pace and loves going forward.

    Its so good to see a great a solid midfield again, Herrera, Blind and Do Maria are going to be epic as the season goes on.

    Let's get Falcoa on now and make this games score a statement to other teams.

    Blackett could turn out to be a good player imo.
    Really like the look of him in defence. He made one mistake vs Swansea which helped lead to the goal and his possession play was frustrating in other games (long balls). But today with movement the ball possession is good.

    I see by this discription that he´s playing LB. Don´t really know about his english but i doubt he knew any before he joined. Must be having an intensive course now.
    Yeah @ LB, yeah I thought so, but he was talking with Rooney at the end so must be learning. Also Aggressive as you mentioned :lol:
