We've missed that all season and it's a shame it took Giggs to release the shackles. Finally recognise this team again. That was United!
Yep. he's got the face of a lurker.just saw that
I liked him, but didn't rate him as highly as some. Especially early on in his career.Sorry to say this but I've never liked Gary Neville, even when he played for us.
Who cares?If only we had played Norwich in every other game this season, we might have won the league.
He was very good in one-on-one situations in his first season but no doubt he has lost some of his sharpness in front of goal.Hernandez really isn't a good finisher. Most of his goals come from his good positioning and despite his poor finishing.
If you can guarantee that RVP wil come back and have another miracle season where he constantly turns shitty performances into wins then anything is possible. But baring that, two new CBs and a LB won't win a title.Why we won a title with this team and the 3 obvious losses in the summer from that squad could be replaced with better younger players. ie a current world class Rio, Vidic and Evra.
Calm down.feck it, give giggsy the job. Easily best league performance of the season, biggest premier league win since Norwich last season.just a very enjoyable game to watch again.
Well if you're going to use it as a blatant dig at the previous form, at least bring a little context to the game. For example, at least two of our goals came from ridiculous errors by the Norwich defence.Who cares?
We comfortably beat what was in front of us, the team was positive and played on the front foot and their was a positivity in the air.
Yep. Really excellent 2nd half performance too.The match was certainly really enjoyable!
Even in the first half we passed it faster and more incisively then before. There was more pressing, more width, but not hoofing it like moyes width. It's out biggest win since Norwich last season. What more do you need? Think it's the most shots we've had all season as well, and everyone just playing with more freedom.Genuinely tell me what's been different?
Most likely we'd have beaten them 4-0 under Moyes too, playing in exactly the same fashion. Norwich are that awful but even still if they'd have come out and attacked us rather than being wet blankets I'd bet they might've scored first and then we'd have been in the same old situation. We barely laid a finger on them in the first half, we were as dire as ever. Second half has been better yes, we've played some nice stuff but not unlike against Villa or Newcastle or any of the times we've actually won this season.
People are getting swept up in the occasion, in the fact we've got Giggsy in charge but really this has been a completely standard game. The defence haven't been troubled but on the rare occasion Norwich attacked they nearly scored. The midfield were pretty awful until we scored at which point Norwich stopped pressing and Carrick was free (plus we took off Cleverley who was utterly dogshite) and until Mata came on we created the square root of feck all.
If we didn't get the penalty I bet it wouldn't have been anything like 4-0.
Still, home wins are a luxury this year and of course it's nice to see Giggsy managing so enjoy the win regardless.
If you can't really see anything different then you need to watch the game more passion more drive , defensively solid , I enjoyed watching united play some good football , we have been shite this season man it's a nice change c'mon admit it ?Got to love some of the people on here. Thought most were joking at first but it seems some are actually serious when talking as if we're "back to playing like United". Today has barely been any different to some of the performances under Moyes. No different style, no different setup, no different tactics, no different lineup.
No idea why some feel the need to shit on Moyes too. It didn't work out, it happens. Move on. No need to act like we're suddenly back to our old ways because we're beating an absolute dire Norwich (not trying to be negative either, great to see us up 4-0 right now).
yep, exactly. and we got a decent result against a team we should beat but there were lots of encouraging signs compared to the last few months of dross.Yep. I'm not sure what people were expecting really. All our problems to disappear overnight?
Yep. Let's be honest we turned it on in the second half against a possibly doomed Norwich side. We need a fresh start.If you can guarantee that RVP wil come back and have another miracle season where he constantly turns shitty performances into wins then anything is possible. But baring that, two new CBs and a LB won't win a title.
Ok,Well if you're going to use it as a blatant dig at the previous form, at least bring a little context to the game. For example, at least two of our goals came from ridiculous errors by the Norwich defence.
Genuinely, we wouldnt have seen Hernadez netmeg not 1 but 2 players. Valencia's crossing was rubbish but what we did see was Valencia beating players with the ball at his feet and he wasnt doing that under Moyes. We saw far more shots on goal than any game Moyes was in charge of. We saw other players running with the ball that we dont normally see, even Cleverely made 3 runs forward with the ball ticking off 30 meters each time. We saw a couple of no look passes from Carrick. We never saw any of those things under Moye. Norwich will be relegated but we didnt look this good against the other relegation sides, even in the other games we won 4-0 we didnt look this good. I thought we looked freer today, there were some bits of flair appearing from a number of individuals. Check my posts if you want, I was still hoping Moyes might get things right up to only a month ago. I never hated Moyes, hoped he could succeed but he never had us looking this adventurous.Genuinely tell me what's been different?

Poor timing for a wank, I suppose!Went to have a long shower during the second half and missed everything
Someone summarise how it was please?
I've always thought he's liable to feck it up when he has time to think about it, but deadly when it's instinctive.He was very good in one-on-one situations in his first season but no doubt he has lost some of his sharpness in front of goal.
It was like something out of the land of milk and honey.Went to have a long shower during the second half and missed everything

A similar case could genuinely be argued for Welbeck. It's just about playing time really, match sharpness and getting those chances frequently.I've always thought he's liable to feck it up when he has time to think about it, but deadly when it's instinctive.
