Hannover 96 vs. United [Preseason Friendly]

Well much like the tail end of last year we're pretty good going forward but defending it looks a bit dodgy. Lets hope we can outscore everyone we play! LOL. 4-3 in every match. :P Cleverley my MOM.
 
If we get Carrick out of defence, drop Hernandez to the bench and put Rooney up top then we will be a match for anyone. I don't think that Kagawa is a midfielder though, we saw in the later stages of the match when Hernandez had gone off just how well in links up in those more advanced positions.
 
Kagawa can play in the middle. He is very good at giving himself space. Exactly what is needed there.

We are lacking a ball winner in midfield because Fletcher is out.
 
Good comeback, and some goals!

But, defence was shocking, maybe we'll play defenders in there next time..
 
Hate to say it but we miss vds. We should try bringing him back from retirement

Why are we struggling against a 2nd rated German team?

Pre season games have been a disaster.

I fear we will not get out of grp stage in the CL for 2nd yr running

Did Rooney dived to get the penalty? Watch the replay again and it seems so. :(
The feck is wrong with you, you weirdo.

No kidding, during the season I try to avoid the match day threads during the games, the tone of the discussion goes way way down. Mostly it's just a list of complains and obvious statements like 'Good goal!"

If you try to actually the have a discussion in-game it will be drown in all the shout outs.
 
Just glad after 5 games and 3 goals we actually put the ball in the net a few times.
 
Ignore him. He's a fecking idiot.

The funny thing is even his nickname. Doesn't Azzurri stand for "blue"? So either he is a closeted Chelsea/City fan on a wind up or he has just no clue what he is doing. Or third possibility an Napoli fan that also is a Manchester United fan but... well never mind I have no clue what is going on with him.
 
This thread has been a timely reminder as to why I never come into match threads. Luckily reminding myself just in time for the start of the season.

Yep agree think he is on the wum!
 
I don't think Rooney dived. His foot made contact with the keeper because he had gone to jump over him because he rushed out. The keeper being there stopped him from landing his foot on the ground.

I'm guessing he's Italian or a fan of the Italian national team, since Azzurri is Italian for blue and the nickname of the national team.

You can jump to get out of the way of a foul and it can still be called a foul even with no contact. I believe the idea is to save the players from having to let themselves be clattered to get the penalty, though you very rarely see a pen given in such a situation.
 
Goals, goals, goals... Finally ! Well Done, United.

Some things in defensive formation needs to be sorted and with players slowly coming back from injuries, we should cope, way better.

Also, more than great to see Shinji, fitting in Fergie's football puzzle.

Same here, how anyone can spend time posting shite on the internet when their team is playing is beyond me.

You really dont like Hernandez do you? I feel another apology coming on.
