Yeah, Smalling has played well this season at CB. Jones has just come back from injury, but as the half has gone on he's gotten better. He also makes great last ditch tackles. He reminds me of Rafael at times in the way he tackles, he goes enthusiastically into it, not in a reckless type of way.

Not so convincing performance, somehow we are ahead courtesy rafa and robin.
rooney and rafael at the 2 extreme ends of the scale with rooney shiitiest and rafael "beastest " so far

sub off rooney, thats no where a 300k a week performance by any means.

I sincerely hope we score 1 more early in the 2nd half. otherwise if it remain like this for 80-85 mins, theres every chance they will nick a goal in.

Not that I'm complaining, but our goal was always going to come from a set piece.

It's been the same problem that we've had all season, we just struggle so badly to create from the middle. A lot of posession, but in the final 3rd we fall flat.

We need to work on the understanding of the frontline. I get the feeling that there is no clear strategy to our attacking play...I mean in terms of our front four being in sync with one another.

Januzaj, Mata, Smalling and Jones have all had solid first halves. The ref has been shet, how the hell did he and his linesman not see Foster handle the ball out of his box. Ridiculous

RED wrote:Kudos to Moyes, he picked the best possible team:

team to face West Brom: De Gea; Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Evra; Carrick, Fellaini; Mata, Rooney, Januzaj; van Persie.

Subs: Lindegaard, Giggs, Vidic, Young, Fletcher, Kagawa, Welbeck.

If only he went for a simple approach v Olym... but for this match, I give him credit.

Hope the team can atleast show it's quality now.

No way!! how can you let him off the hook that easily. come on. Obvious team selection. He had to field at least this line up. Otherwise we would have surely lost today and his end would have come sooner. And this is not the best line up as a matter of fact. replace kagawa with rvp and that is our best line up.

No surprises whatsover IMO in team selection and i am certain he will stick with this line up and even include kagawa in the coming few games and will keep his shit boys out for some time as he know playing them now will do him no good for his career as a man united manager. He definitely wont start them at least. He will rely on our good players to get us ahead and will introduce his shit trio in the 2nd half like he is going to do today.

No kudos to Moyes hence   

I think that's a legit excuse, RED.

Even against Crystal Palace we needed the break to come from a penalty. We don't know how to break teams

Rooney has been unbelievably shet. i never understand how inconsistent he is. One match he can look WC, the next he looks like a pub player.

RVP got away with it there. Should have been a red tbh. Needs to calm down.

Rooney has been bad this whole year apart from Crystal Palace

RvP deserved to get sent off kind of cancels out Ben Foster's red now

kinell we got away with it there. Wonderful intercepted clearance by Mata.

The game is starting to get tasty

Fellaini has to be the most immobile. slow reactionary player ever lol. It takes him forever to decide what to do with the ball.

Should have shot that one time

bloody hell. RVP and Rooney bumped into each other there. Doesn't dispell what RVP said that players get in his way.

common sense sub. RVP was starting to lose his head.

yea and he eats 300k  a week.   

We should judge him more strictly hence. Perfrom or gtfo.

welbeck.. arghhhh
bring in kagawa you fking twat.  give him some minutes to at least get ready for the world cup.

haha well played there. 0-2! By a player having a shocker too. But class always shines in the end. Nice assist by Rafa.

That should be game over now.

Rafael MOTM today imo

rafael beasted. Really good performance. Player of the Match by miles.   

The funny thing is, did Moyes really pick his strongest line-up or is he just resting Young and Valencia

lol welbeck ladies and gents. Typical

Kagawa

Kagawa

lool BB...that is creepy at precisely the same time we posted that

lmao

Instead of making a run for a counter attack Rooney comes towards Kagawa
