Cascadia Saint Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Mane looks like a confidence player, when we were in full flow he looked decent and gave defenders a tough time,when things are not in our favour he looks nervous, he has seen enough of the ball though and has the ability to do something He's so slippery. If he can stay on his feet he can create opportunities all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Decent half from us and we would be deservedly leading if not for a brain fart from Fonte giving Van Persie an early xmas present. I would so love for us to beat them. They are badly disorganised at the back and there for the taking. this. we should win this based on that first half- no doubt united will score a screamer of some sort :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 1-1, we will never have a better chance. We need to make some of these chances pay. Agreed. There was a warning shot just before half time, that showed what they are capable of in a split second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 To be honest, both teams look fairly average, we look marginally better, could end up being 3-1 I'd say ... I can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Come on Saints, the Mancs are there for the taking. Get in their faces and their soft midfield\defence will crack. Mane is a livewire and has played some nice balls but for me he needs to get more direct, play more crosses so Graziano gets some ammo. Good game, 3 points are up for grabs but the Mancs do have a razor sharp attack, Shrek has been ominously quiet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Mane is this season's Papa Waigo/Anthonio. Bags of pace, bags of skill but doesn't know when to pass and when to shoot. Why the **** did he not shoot after taking on about 3 United defenders through the middle? Still, he's only about 21 isn't he? Maybe that will come with experience. We look like we need 4-5 chances to score, United, with players like Mata, RVP, Rooney will only need one. Pelle was terrible till he got the goal then all of a sudden he looks like the best player on the pitch. Shows you what a confidence player he is.

St Chalet Posted 8 December, 2014 Author Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Carroll looks to have steadied the ship at the back for them. They surely cannot play that badly second half? Never in my lifetime have I seen a more ragged Utd side against us (and I include the 6-3 in that as well). I would keep Mane on. He's so unpredictable it might just work. Shane Long is being an utter pest. If we can continue to keep it away from RVP and Shrek this is 3 points nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Man United are there for the taking, their defence is awful, but they won't be as bad this half. Certainly can't complain about big teams raising there game against us tonight, they have been awful. Almost as bad as Sunderland were first half but we squandered our chances. The difference between us I fear is that they will turn on the style second half and take a couple of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Just read back over the thread. I get called negative, but some of the posts before we scored are embarassing.

Saint Benali Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Him and Wanyama our best two players for me. guess it's a game of opinions as I think Long has been pants so far. Some shocking shooting and ran into Tadic when there was a through ball. Football is more then running around. If Jay Rod or any of the other strikers had his chances they would put at least one away. I appreciate his work rate but he needs to add more to his game than just running around.

Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Yeah, but you've got to wonder what it'll do for his confidence, being taken off after 30 mins I think we once sent Lloyd James on as a sub, then took him off 20 minutes later. I believe we may have done the same with Yoann Folly once too. Understandable as both were terrible players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
