Swansea vs Manchester United - 21/02/14 - 15:00

[Stevencc]

Hard to call this one. We are poor away from home yet we've still only lost league one game since November or so, Swansea are on a bad run of league form and look less of a threat without Bony but they always worry me as a team.

I'll go for 2-2.

 

[Stevencc]

De Gea, McNair, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Fellaini, Herrera, Di Maria, Rooney, van Persie

 

[Abertawe]

I don't understand what the fuck Monk is doing with the starting line-up. Thrashing imminent.

 

[Stevencc]

I don't think we are capable of handing out a thrashing at the moment.

 

[Christian Slater]

My optimism from previous weeks of thinking this is the game we click has completely evaportated. I'm now resigned to preparing myself for an ordeal. We're so boring.

 

[Christian Slater]

More open game and we seem to be taking a few more tactical risks, which is a breath of fresh air. McNair looks good a RB.

 

[Renegade]

What. A. Finish.

 

[Stevencc]

Get in.

 

[Renegade]

Get out.

 

[Stevencc]

Get Out

Ha - Great minds.

 

[Christian Slater]

We're playing very well here. Definite loss on the cards then, be fairbfor the games we've ragged.

 

[Christian Slater]

Is McNair injured? He had a good first half I thought.

 

[Stevencc]

I thought so too, he must have picked up a knock.

 

[JimJams]

Or hes just looking for more attacking threat.

 

[sl1k]

We look so much more threatening down the left hand side with Young. Plenty of corners but doin fuckal wiv em.

Whats plan C?

 

[Christian Slater]

At least it hasn't been a boring disappointment this week.

Spot on prediction, this is the best they've played in months and are losing to a freak goal. I hope LVG perseveres with Rooney up front and doesn't use a (potential) loss to revert back. This has been a decent game to watch at least.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Don't see how the players will ever have faith in Plan A if they switch to the hoof-to-Fellaini Plan B as soon as things don't go their way.

 

[sl1k]

The slow possession build up play is pissing the fuck outa me.

On a sweeter note, my 69th post

I thought you didn't care about how united play, did u just want the points?

 

[JimJams]

Man Utd have no fucking clue in the final 3rd. For all the possession I wonder how many shots on target they had compared to Swansea in that 2nd half.

Where did I say that?

Flattering to deceive.

 

[GodsGift]

United have some interesting fixtures coming up in the next month or so.

Exactly. Van Gaal has us playing such a risk-averse, possession by numbers, boring style of football right now. Possession is all well and good when you use it to your own advantage rather than to stifle the opposition. Today we didn't even manage that part.

RVP was hopeless again, shooting like Phil Mitchell after running a marathon.
