Play so much better without a traditional winger and withoutRooney/RVP clogging the center, our whole team has been excellent especially Kagawa when surprise surprise Mata is at number 10. I really hope Moyes has the balls to choose one of the two big strikers or next year it will be the same.

See this is what happens when you play Mata in the middle without him having to do more work than he's used to. It's not that he's lazy, he just doesn't fit in a system like ours, but he's thriving now at United. RVP shouldn't just get his spot back, cause that'd push Mata out wide which will stunt your attack again.

Yeah of course its plain for everyone to see that Mata is our best number 10 but its the same problem we had with Kagawa. Its a nice dilemma to have i suppose, but not when it impedes the team hopefully Moyes knows how much better Mata is now and will rotate Rooney with Van persie.

Kagawa has got to be Man U's smartest player on the pitch.... He's finally thriving in the free role he's been given, and it's all thanks to Mata always looking for him. It's amazing how two short ground passers can change the team. Also, Kagawa has really good passing abilities deep (and up top too ala BvB). He could literally be Man U's next Scholes if he plays in a 3-man midfield with two deeper midfielders. His ability to track back sucks absolute balls though. And this is what I've been saying about signing Kagawa... literally can play wide (and if willing, play the false nine), but I still truly think his natural position is the Iniesta role in the 3-man midfield. I've always felt this since his days in Germany.

IMO, Mata has a better first touch, but Kagawa's positioning and passing ability are better IMO, and each passing with the manager's trust keeps making me think he should come to Barcelona......... There's no one else more fit for the Barcelona game outside of the team except Kagawa. I'm probably overrating him LOL but too bad we're banned to transfer next year.... Also, I'm kinda biased since I've always seen Mata as a poor man's Silva since the semi-golden Valencia days.

Also I really think people underrate Fellaini... As much as he is an oaf with the ball on the ground, he's a top class physical player. He seems to win balls in the air and whatnot LOL. I think he could play a lone DM and play well, but for some reason Moyes had him play behind the striker hahahahaha

Well, he was meh at the start, but I think it's because that Januzaj and Kagawa are available to link up with him. Young-Mata-Valencia was absolute bonkers, as is starting Januzaj at CAM over Kagawa before the winter transfer window or the 4-4-1-1 with Rooney at #10.....

Van Persie is a passenger off the ball. United should just use Rooney as a #9.

Ferguson is going to be taking up a 'long-term teaching position' at Harvard. The students are going to hate him because of Fergie time.

He'll teach them the advantages of chewing gum during football matches and how to cement your legacy by picking an incompetent fool to be your successor

So annoying because we got our tactics spot on and took the lead, only to make the same mistake of getting overly excited and losing our concentration in the celebrations following the goal.

Evra was a rock until his goal, then collapsed. The game opened up after they equaliser and that suited them. Vidić and Evra have been two great servants and were world class for many years. But their time has come to an end. Liabilities.

Rooney, unfit or not, was inexcusable for his finishing. Overrated when fit anyway. If I had my way, he'd be gone.

Kagawa and Welbeck did really well. Especially Kagawa.

We gave a respectable showing over both legs and made it a contest.

Better than i thought we would be, went to shit after the goal celebrations. Get some half decent players in and well be fine. Sell Kagawa and we riot. Give Moyes another season.
