Strange that we subbed him
Thought he was looking safe as houses.

You miss the runs through the middle to get our attack going then I take it ? He hardly went hiding and this is his third good performance for us and he has dealt fabulously with West Ham's front 2 and Romelu Lukaku.He won't make 100 Premiership appearances, never mind for United. He just offers nothing at the back, he never gets tight to his man, so they always have time on the ball and yet when it's played in behind he is always slow to read it and doesn't have recovery pace. He's just hiding at the back, dropping off and praying he doesn't get exposed. He's not made a catastrophic error so it's better than 75% of our centerback performances this year but Daley did 80% of the work at the back today, McNair has been a passenger.
Looked like he had a knock and limping a bit.Strange that we subbed him

Slight knock I think, or at least, that is what we will tell the press, I expect it is the club pulling him out of the NI game.Strange that we subbed him

They have to be fit first before we can talk about that.At this rate the likes of Evans, Smalling, and Jones will have to perform or face being subbed for McNair.
We were lucky to concede just one in both of those games, West Ham he gets a free pass for (although he has similar before the second off anyway) but against Everton he didn't do well at all.You miss the runs through the middle to get our attack going then I take it ?

What a strange thing to say.Think you need to calm down a bit.
Well they have been at various times this year and McNair has more or less matched or outperformed them when he's been on.They have to be fit first before we can talk about that.

Conveniently leaving out Blind's involvement in that moment eh? It was a misunderstanding between two players. Happens to the best of defenders.Most of you forgot about him letting the ball bounce and allowing Campbell a one v one with DDG?
Huge error imo and lucky not to be punished.
BUT with some context, he's 19 being thrown in at the deep end and generally having a higher level of performance than older, what should be more established CB's.
Again, just an incredibly odd way to conduct a debate. Not sure why you feel the need to invent anger on behalf of someone who disagrees with you to help your point.See below
I don't need any help with my point. You are wrong.Again, just an incredibly odd way to conduct a debate. Not sure why you feel the need to invent anger on behalf of someone who disagrees with you to help your point.
Then why bother to do it?I don't need any help with my point. You are wrong.
Why let it bother you ?Then why bother to do it?
Again, why do you feel the need to invent offence where there is none? I'm asking you a question, filing a case in a small claims court. It's strange behaviour which you seem unable to explain, that's all.Why let it bother you ?
I'm not leaving out anyone. I was discussing McNairs mistake. It was Paddy's side, he should've dealt with it. But yeah, it does happen to the best of defenders. I did pay him a compliment aswell, incase you didn't notice.Conveniently leaving out Blind's involvement in that moment eh? It was a misunderstanding between two players.

That show lack of mutual understanding between him and Blind, which is understandable given one of them never played CB for us before.Most of you forgot about him letting the ball bounce and allowing Campbell a one v one with DDG?

I don't even remember telling you that you were angry ? "Calm Down" referred to making 3 posts on the lad in the space of 15 minutes which started by calling his performance "far from impressive" to then claiming he will not be a future United player, to then saying he won't play 100 premier league games. When all evidence thus far (however small the sample size) has pointed to the contrary.Again, why do you feel the need to invent offence where there is none?

A post every 5 minutes just after a game? That's really the explanation you're going to stick with is it?I don't even remember telling you that you were angry ?

So not only have you been bang wrong about his performances, you've also managed to map out his career all in 15 minutes.
So yeah, calm down.
Take it to PM.A post every 5 minutes just after a game? That's really the explanation you're going to stick with is it?
Ok then. How about you stick to talking about the points and leaving my posting rate to me? Thanks.
Gone one better mate.Take it to PM.
Or just not bring it up at all in the first place? I just wanted to talk about McNair's performance. Not sure why saying a player who has made 3 first team appearances for Man Utd and otherwise been average in the reserves won't have much of a future here attracted that kind of comment.Take it to PM.
Yeah I think people are forgetting he's only 19 and still relatively obscure. A few weeks ago, people were baffled why Tom Thorpe wasn't being selected ahead of him.Made that one mistake in the first half, but other than that he's been very solid in all of his games so far.
