Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Jones can have decent games. Think he'd be good at midtable or lower in the PL. I think Jones could be a really good Ivanovic style right-back. He'd need to focus on that as his position long term though. Being shifted around all the time has clearly messed up his development. I think he's got much more talent than Smalling, who I can't imagine would ever be near the England team if he didn't wear a Man Utd shirt.

Ro Sham Bo Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 West Ham look okay this season. I'd say they were favourites for this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 put your money where your mouth is son 7/1 It's 10/1 for BTTS and West Ham to win. I've got a tenner double on it along with a Middelsbrough BTTS win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Incredible how widely spread this myth that Phil Jones is a good player who's been ruined by being asked to play a couple of different positions every season. He's simply shite, giving him a run in one position won't change this, still utterly bemused as to why they signed him anyway as apart from the usual initial media hype around an Englishman every time one makes a debut he never showed anything that would suggest he would be good enough for a top team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's going to be a top level centre half though. To write him off at the age of 22 would be crazy IMO. Man Utd fans absolutely hated Darren Fletcher for years when he was being used as a right winger, but look what happened there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 In the grand scheme of things, seeing out the last 20 mins or so down to 10 men with the defence United have is a good result. The lad McNair had a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 They've been absoutely shite this season and are sitting in 4th place. But when you look who they've played so far their position is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supras Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 "Meanwhile, United are set to offer defender Tyler Blackett, 20, an improved contract which would increase his wages from £2,000 to £50,000 a week." Surely not?! It's from BBC gossip granted, but if it's true that's absolutely mental. He looked so bad against Leicester, I thought it might have been Chris Smalling.

Saigon Raider Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Right, and they will all be available when? And of course, they will all be available, settle in straight away to whatever formation Van Gaal is trying to achieve, gel with their team mates and be just super. Who has said they will be "miles off" the top 4? They need to oust one of the existing top 4 to achieve it and the two weakest candidates, Arsenal and Liverpool have both significantly strengthened this summer also, and had a better base to begin with. Man U will get it right eventually - they've spent enough money to ensure that. But I would make them 5th favourites to be top 4 this season. The Liverpool side that comfortably and comprehensively destroyed Tottenham at White Hart Lane had 4 new players from last season, 2 of whom are proven Premier League players, in Balotelli and Lovren. Their other new signings will be integrated as and when. They have absolutely no need to play the likes of Lallana, Markovic, Can, Lambert etc. until such point as they choose to. Man U on the other hand have been shambolic this season already, and are faced with the prospect of having to throw all of their new signings in in a desperate attempt to halt the slide. Di Maria contributed nothing at Burnley - how long is it going to take him to get up to speed? Even if it's 3 or 4 weeks for all of them, that could be the difference at the end of the season. Arsenal have added Chambers as cover at the back, upgraded from Sagna to Debuchy, and have Sanchez and Welbeck, plus the return of Theo Walcott in a few weeks. Yes, they are still the weakest of the top 4, but I would happily bet anyone at Even money that they will finish ahead of Man Utd this season. Just going to leave these little gems here.

Distant Doonhamer Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yep ManU have been shit this season. Suspect Liverpool and Arsenal are probably both craving a similar level of shiteness as things stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The whole league has been shit so far. I don't even think that Chelsea are a great side, but everyone else is so inept that they will stroll the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan-bufc Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The whole league has been shit so far. I don't even think that Chelsea are a great side, but everyone else is so inept that they will stroll the league. Man City and Chelsea's squad are clearly a class above everyone else's on paper but the latter have been able to perform consistently and have managed to open up a gap they probably shouldnt blow now. Man United have a decent next few games coming up and if the get to January in the top 4 they should stay that way until the end of the season id say. Assuming they do the obvious and strengthen the defence and midfield. Oh and get shot of the players who spend 6 months a year out injured.

callum-ayr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Getting 4 points out the City, Chelsea and Arsenal games was good, arguably it could have been more. With the amount of injuries, I think it is a testament to Van Gaal that he has United in the top 4. Should be looking for 6 points from today and Tuesday and a boost in goal difference.
