Excuse me, I need some alone time to enjoy that thought.Now onto the Champions League.

SAF played him RW instead which completely contradicts your point. You have a point but it's the left-side the real problem.1) Valencia gets the ball with an ocean of space in the final third.
2) He waits till he's marked.
3) He then tries to run the ball to the bye line to deliver a cross when he's closely marked.
4) Rinse & repeat!
Valencia is very happy with winning a corner than putting in a quick cross for his team to score.
There's a reason SAF preferred Rafael to Valencia in the RB position. From what I have seen in the last 2 seasons, Valencia costs us at least 2 points per each game we have not won.
.
Against Swansea, the second they opened up the game to try and get the equalizer in the final 10 we scored our second. They probably should have reverted back to a defensive shape because we got 2 more goals in quick fire.Too small a sample. Looking at the opponents and how some of those matches went (second game sudden last 15 minute collapse from swansea) I am doubting whether we truly have become this sudden attacking force with largely the same players in attack. We shall see. We looked okay in the first three games last season as well.
That and Jose didnt change things when he saw Stoke constantly had a man over on the wings
Stoke were good. put in a good shift. We were wasteful and made two bad errors for their goals.
feck that, I'm a fat bastard.. ain't jogging nowhere.So thats it? a handful of games, unbeaten top of the league but we didn't beat stoke so its all over, jog on for gods sake
Yep forget about the saves Butland madeThe saddest part about this result: it's predictable!
We just can't beat these teams any more, and that costs us points. Even when we somehow managed to score two goals, we still couldn't win. And even then we needed a MTOM performance by De Gea to salvage this one point!
Come off it. We hardly salvaged a point. What a load of shite.The saddest part about this result: it's predictable!

Sample is too small. Nothing is concluded either way after four games and I'm seeing similar symptoms of last season's attack so I believe we will soon see an evening out of our 'goals galore'. Might be a bit better than last season, nothing more.Same 4 teams who were in the league last season.
Go back to 4231 with Rashers-Mkhi-Martial behind LukakuWe need to find a way to accommodate Rashford and Martial in the same team with Mkhi, Lukaku and Pogba.
Haha, cannot wait.Excuse me, I need some alone time to enjoy that thought.
You need glasses then. Our game speed is much improved on last yearSample is too small. Nothing is concluded either way after four games and I'm seeing similar symptoms of last season's attack.
I swear reading some of these comments you would think we just got battered 6-0 in a game that relegated us.Come off it. We hardly salvaged a point. What a load of shite.
Sure they've taken points off Arsenal, but Arsenal aren't going to be troubling the troubling the engravers this season anyway. I wouldn't use Arsenal's results as a gauge for anything if we want to be challenging.feck that, I'm a fat bastard.. ain't jogging nowhere.
But yes, it was well over the top.. I knew this thread would be full of them. I don't for one minute think that a draw away to Stoke, who have already beaten Arsenal and will take points from others at home will damage our titles chances to much.
Alright Nostradamus I will make you a £100/€100 bet that we will score more league goals this season.Sample is too small.

This.What did people think, we'd win every game? Some people on here are absolute jokers.
De.Gea made one great save but other than that he had shit all to do.The saddest part about this result: it's predictable!

Pathetic post.No idea why Mata didn't start, Herrera was just an extra body. Also Rojo can't come back soon enough.
That's not what I meant. I meant we scored two goals, and that still wasn't enough. And even then, De Gea had to give a good game (MOTM according to this site). A draw was the fair result. We didn't deserve to lose this game, but I wasn't confident that we will get the point until the last whistle.Come off it. We hardly salvaged a point. What a load of shite.
I might need to order some glasses you're right. I'm thinking with a rosé tint.You need glasses then. Our game speed is much improved on last year
No bet then? pityI might need to order some glasses you're right. I'm thinking with a rosé tint.
