  1. Post match vs Arsenal

    Same shit different day. It's frustrating when we keep doing the same thing over and over, even when it's been proved not to work. Our game is overwhelmingly unidimensional: try and work out a pass to the wing in the slowest and most ponderous fashion. We play with no urgency, pass the ball...
  2. Arsenal vs Manchester United

    This is testimonial stuff with fairweather players all round. How on earth can a forward go through an entire game and not even have an attempt on goal? Sadly this has become a defining characteristic of our side
  3. LVG Out Thread | BBC: Sacked!

    I am amazed that the power brokers at United haven't even batted an eyelid at our goal scoring prowess in the league. 43 in 35 games is epic stuff!
  4. LVG Out Thread | BBC: Sacked!

    I don't know what's more depressing, United's continued failure to play as a cohesive unit for a little more than a third of a game, or the faint optimism accompanying the start of my new days hoping to hear/read the words sacked next to LVG. I need to be put out of my misery
  5. Chris Smalling | 2015/16 Performances

    He is simply not intelligent enough to play as a CB. For all the right physical attributes, he lets himself down by his poor decision making, panicking, and reading of the game. Yet I am often astonished by the praise he gets here. He is neither commanding, communicative nor intelligent enough...
  6. Even if we bring in Pep/Jose.. we need 7 new players for the first XI

    Aye, the more eager we try to get a quick fix the more desperate we reek and the more fleeced we get. In all honesty I'm struggling to see real value in our transfers in the post SAF era, save for a no more than three exceptions. We simply need a better manager, a director of football, and find...
  7. Memphis Depay | 2015/16 Performances

    That potential break in the second half when he had acres of space ahead of him but couldn't accelerate clear of a guy who had given him a ten yard start was just painful to watch. He can't: run, cross, shoot, pass, dribble, tackle, defend nor attack a semi decent opposition. What's he really...
  8. Even if we bring in Pep/Jose.. we need 7 new players for the first XI

    No club can afford such huge turnovers in successive seasons and not feel the effects thereafter. We do lack serious quality but we won't fix it in a transfer window or two. Our priorities should be getting a better management in.
  9. Post match vs Liverpool

    Absolutely dreadful!!. I am surprised we only lost by a two goal margin. We were played off the park completely. They were sharper, incisive, hungrier, more decisive, better organized and looked better coached than us throughout the match. In all honesty we made Liverpool look like Barcelona in...
  10. What went wrong for Van Gaal?

    LVG really is the Dirk Kuyt of managers, a beast in Holland that flatters to deceive elsewhere. If one carefully analyses his time here then the parallels with Kuyt's career are even the more staggering. Both would turn up against good opposition, stumble onto a decent streak of form lasting no...
  11. Could Van Gaal convince you to give him one more season?

    We need consistency and the only things consistent about his tenure have been his interview quotes, general inconsistency in the style of our play, and his steadfast refusal to compromise on Rooney. For someone hired on the premise of being a system builder, he has been anything but. Granted, he...
  12. Jesse Lingard | 2015/16 Performances

    Disappointed showing last night. I really thought he would use the game as a platform for regaining a bit of form. Instead he made even worse decisions than usual, kept running into blind alleys and generally impeded our attacks whenever he got on the ball. For someone with a higher than average...
  13. Marcus Rashford 2015/16 Performances

    Very pleased for the lad. What impressed me the most was that he didn't stop trying to play his natural game even when things weren't going for him. It is obvious that he still has a lot of learning and bulking up to do. The most important thing is that he seems to have the basic tools: pace...
  14. Joe Riley

    Really impressed with his technique and confidence. His adeptness at supporting the attack was reminiscent of the Evra days. I wish him well in his learning process and hope to see him succeed at United
  15. RedCafe's Official Next Manager Poll

    Basically anyone not saddled with the post SAF malaise. They should've a coherent game plan and be equally capable of motivating and commanding the players' respect and commitment.
