Self proclaimed tagline king.
I thought of this thread while watching the match yesterday. Well done, noods.
I can't post it here but but if you youtube a video for a song called I Hear You Calling by a band named Gob they play aginst some zombies in a soccer match.I think it's unfair to dismiss noodle's observation until we've seen zombie's attempt to pass a football. For all we know it could be like-for-like to how we played yesterday.
Cheers Dwayne, I'll watch and observe it a few times and see what the comparisons are like before completely disagreeing with moses on this whole affair.I can't post it here but but if you youtube a video for a song called I Hear You Calling by a band named Gob they play aginst some zombies in a soccer match.
No, it's not something that happened for brief 10 minute spells, sandwiched between swashbuckling football. You say I'm dismissive of posters, yet this grievance you lot have is exactly that. Think for a second why people say it. It's obvious that they don't agree with you that it was something tiny that happened amidst great football. Give them at least that much credit. Noodles isn't a moron, he knows his football fairly well. So yeah, the people who "harp" on about or did so in the past, didn't actually see it as something that was insignificant and hence as relevant as a yourube clip. They felt it was something that was seeping into our football, in general. Or at least quite frequently.What do you mean? We are having a discussion about how a simplistic gag has been turned into a mantra. I think the youtube comparison is quite valid. It's a snapshot of something we do on the way to winning games, scoring goals and winning titles. That's the context of the gripe.
Debate or go away. You offer very little to any discussion apart from dismissive posts, regarding other posters or the players.
On your last part, I'm getting Vision of a younger Carrick at RomaThe problem is that we have had a pedestrian midfield pairing ever since Keane/Scholes. Carrick does not run beyond, nor did Scholes. You look at a player like Mata or Ozil who have many assists. I doubt they could replicate those figures with us, because you are only as good as your options. I'm sure a large amount of Mata's assits are for the likes of Ramirez or Lampard who have run beyond him.
I honestly cannot recall the last time one of our central midfielders ran beyond a striker and was played through on goal. My guess is that it has rarely happened since Scholes was in his 20s!

Not good enough though. However, given they play with a bit of urgency, they stand out and make a huge difference to our team when paired.Cleverly and Anderson are a good combination.
Yup our movement off the ball has been atrocious for a number of years now, bar the odd game here and there. My favourite recent United attacking performance was the 4-4 against Everton. We were amazing going forward.
Fergie and Moyes seem to think otherwise.Cleverly and Anderson are a good combination.
this is true. But man we were playing total football...or so it seemed. Fluid. I think if we added Herrera as the third midfielder......I think Cleverley, Anderson and Carrick would be a good 3, Cleverley and Anderson were amazing to watch at the start of the season before last but the number of goals we shipped due to having no defensive cover from the midfield was amazing.
We can disagree, it happens.You're way off the mark. We've suffered from "it" very often. I don't know how you watch united and don't think so.
As for the term, you offered an alternative but people don't want to use it. So they probably will. Why do they have use your wording? And why do you care so much about wording? Why not just discuss the point it represents. It's so irrelevant to be discussing the damn phrase like this.
1999 wants its formation back more like.I still cant get over the fact we play a flat 4-4 fecking 2. 2006 wants its formation back.
Always thought this was pretty much the dumbest fecking thread on the internet. Now its confirmed.Pretty sure Rooney's made more passes to the Sunderland team than Sunderland's whole team as well.
Carrick still seems to think he's earn't the right to play with half the urgency of every opposition team he's up against. He must be the thickest person in the world or something.
Yeah I'm sick and tired of 442 and crossing crossing crossing, its so fecking predictable.we've taken to relying on scoring from crosses far too much for my liking. i'm not really that concerned about our poor start just yet, but it's getting to be apparent that we need to adapt to a different style of play and for the personnel we have to step up or we're going to be hard pressed to finish in the top 4, let alone win anything.
Kagawa.I want us to play with someone in between the midfield and forward lines. We looked so much better when Rooney was taking up those positions against leverkusen
