Try watching united joel for 90+ minutes every game and not been bored.

Nah i've seen a couple of championship sides this season play more exciting and quicker football. I'll come back at the end of the season Joel and see Uniteds name below the top 2/3.

Wanna talk tactics? fergie and phelan have been clueless all season, that nobody can deny.

well its not like you dont have superb players. united actually has a great squad of attacking players.

just ferguson's selection is baffling at times

i personally enjoyed the everton and tottenham games.

yeah, good attacking players. means nothing with their spud midfield and broken defence.

Bingo, finally some sense on here. That and the so called tactics deployed.

Snrub also right defence made of glass and midfield were the best player in his late 30's.

Every times Giggs plays a big game nowadays he gets exposed.

I still remember how he was utterly embarrassed last season at the etihad

[Joel]

United haven't played a tactical game since Carlos Queiroz left. Ferguson has never been a tactical genius. He's the best motivator around who commands respect. I don't see what has changed. Maybe his selections have been a bit iffy this season. But so has most other managers. So whatever. Just the normal "poor us" and then you end up as champions or a point off.

I don't see how it's "poor us" whatever the fuck that is meant to mean . I don't feel fucking sorry for myself or don't realise we're better off than most if not all fans. it's just utterly baffling how fucked up the selections have been this season and the way the team has played.

Maybe it's a complete imbalance having rvp, rooney, valencia, kagawa, nani etc. I've said it all season imo fergie does not know his best 11 or best formation with this current crop.

[BANKSY]

inb4 you don't win anything with old men and Evra.

[JOAL.com]

No, i dont think Fergie does

All I know is underusing Kagawa. Absolutely brilliant player and Ferguson keeps misusing him

[Foreshadowed]

The team I'd like to see on Sunday against Newcastle:

De Gea
Rafael Ferdinand Evans Buttner
Cleverley Anderson
Valencia Rooney Kagawa
Van Persie

That is if Evans and Valencia are fit. However, I can see Lindegaard, Evra, Carrick and Scholes starting, which I hope doesn't happen. We need pace in this team (certainly against Newcastle) and Carrick and Scholes don't really provide that. Worst thing to do would be Ferguson picking Giggs to start again. I really don't have high hopes for this weekend not just down to the terrible football we've been playing but also due to Newcastle having a really physical team. We don't look consistent at the back.

It's odd to see how we've regressed over 12 months. At the start of last season, we were playing some quick, flowing football, which was enjoyable to watch and so far this season (yeah, I know it's only October) we've only played that way against Spurs for about 25 minutes of the second half. The energy levels need to pick up and some players need a good kick up the ass. That and Ferguson needs to realise what his best team is and stop over-relying on the pensioners.
