How many FUKEN times do we need to see Giggs in midfield?? Get him out wide for **** sake

And somehow Tony survives can't cross or shoot yet stays on when we need a goal SMFH

Gutted:(.

Thank **** we are 15 points clear. Team has been **** since Madrid game.

Please, please, let us sign a creative midfielder this summer.

Right I have calmed down slightly and this will be my final post on the matter.

The Madrid game has pretty much ended all our players mentally we have played like utter trash since and I hate to say it BUT THE UGLY MIDFIELD ISSUE IS REARING IT'S HEAD again and fergie has to take fully blame for this as it has affected us for nearly 5 years now and nowt has been done.

Our whole game is based on wingplay so take the last couple of years for example even though we still had a useless centre midfield bar Carrick because of the performances of our wingers we were able to compensate for it.

However now the wingers are playing more to there default setting nothing can be done about it as we can't change our default 4-4-2 setting as we don't have the quality midfielders to adapt it to say a 4-3-3 and even the ones who can play that formation like Shinji sit rotting on the bench

Sadly I don't think the issue wil be sorted until Fergie goes

Please let us sign any midfielder for poor Carrick to play with.

All banter aside would not back RVP to hit Anderson's arse in the form he's in at the moment

man utd have neeeded a creative central midfielder since the last millennium....why the heck cant they get one?

Well we still had Keane and Scholes at that point. Then we bought Veron who in some games would look class and other games would just pass him by unfortunately.

Then several years later we bought Anderson, who to begin with, looked a beast. Then injuries and inconsistency have hampered him.

Very nearly signed a midfielder in the summer of 2011. Went for Nasri, nearly had him until his agent demanded a stupid amount. Sneijder, not entirely sure what happened there. So much was floating about. Could of been his stupid wage demands, or Inter got rid of Eto'o and that prevented any deal from happening and the fact Sneijder was happy at Inter.
So we decided to put our faith in Anderson and Cleverley. Who looked immense in the first few weeks of the season. Cleverley doesn't look to of really progressed since then. Just doesn't offer much more than a ball retention player.

What has happened to Powell seems to be getting the Pogba treatment SMH. Ouside Carrick I would go as far as saying we have the worst midfield in the league

Anderson we have completely ruined TBH. If anyone saw him before he came to us he was a complete monster and was being touted as the next Ronaldinho and then for some unknown reason Fergie tried to turn him into some box to box dynamo

Cleverly Very rarely in CM runs around like a headless chicken alright in a 3 due to his energy

Fletcher for some unknown reason Fergie seems to think he is going to come back and be Vintage even in his prime ball winner nothing more

Scholes SMH

Giggs

SMH

So basically Jones a defender is our next centre midfield yet he can't pass a simple 5 yard pass the whole thing is bloody pathetic TBH

We as fans need to be thankful Carrick has stayed injury free cause without him I can honestly say we would be nowhere near top right now


On a more positive note watching De Gea command his area and come out for crosses yesterday brought a tear to my eye

We have a better midfield than most in the league, tbh. It's just amongst the top sides it's very poor in comparison.

I agree!!!

Boss: We lacked composure

Smalling's derby focus

Rooney set for return


Good news. I think we missed Wayne and I hope Jonny Evans is OK!

Evra laments missing medal

Vidic: I feel blessed

Vida is class:).

Just watching PSG-Barca and wow Lucas is fuken class. Just think we couldn't get him so we got Young LOOOL hardly like for like. Would not be surprised if Young was getting better wages then him either

Wasn't the same summer. However, yeah, I was thinking they have Lucas we have Young. :joker:

Apparently he's on 250,000 euros, roughly £212,000. Not sure that's true though. Be shocked if it is.

Edit: Reading elsewhere apparently it's 250,000 euros a month. £53,000 ish. I'm off to go cry.

De Gea: Let's finish the job

David De Gea is typically serene and relaxed as Manchester United prepare for a potentially significant derby clash on Monday night.

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...=77,92,762,602

Victory over reigning champions Manchester City at Old Trafford would put the Reds 18 points ahead of the Blues with just seven Barclays Premier League games left. De Gea, who has contributed as much as anyone to United’s telling run of six consecutive league clean sheets, is determined to finish the campaign with a first winner’s medal.

The 23-year-old told the latest issue of Inside United magazine: “I’d love to win the league this season but so does everyone else in the team. We’re all focused on getting three points from every game – that is what will take us to our objective. We appreciate where we are in the league and we want to finish it.”

De Gea has made 35 appearances already this term but is still feeling fit, fresh and happy with his form heading into the final straight.

“I’m feeling well, in good shape and I’m at ease on the pitch,” he said. “I’ve played a lot of matches but I get plenty of rest at home and I eat well – it’s important to look after myself.

“I’m more confident and feel I’m playing consistently because I’ve had a prolonged run in the team. But training well and having a good mental attitude brings its rewards. Everything you put in, you get out. That is what you’re seeing now – I’m very happy with how I’m playing.”


DDG is awesome:worship:.

Reds duo on track


Good news that Wayne Rooney and Rafael are fit again. I hope that Jonny Evans and Nemanja Vidic will be OK!

Boss: No rest for Robin

Jones excites Sir Alex


Nice praise by SAF for Phil Jones, who I am sure is humbled by it and I am too excited by Phil because he is so versatile and really is developing into a class player!

Sir Alex: League was the priority


I agree with Sir Alex that the league is the priority and the title race is not over yet, although it disappoints me how we have not won the FA Cup in ages:(.
