Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

it could be you

It wouldn't feel right. Keep it tight, close Wolves down for the first fifteen minutes, hope they overcommit and we can nick one and make the game safe.

wtf

Wolves aren't doing themselves any favours here, could have had three sent off by now for stupid fouls

Valencia's just a proper old fashioned winger innee? Real opportunity to eat into the goal difference here

this is classic ynahtid, lose in europe to technically superior side assembled at a fraction of the cost, then a crapshoot playing on the break vs the worst defence in the epl

valencia is in his element, just dont ask him to do anything innovated past 1950 and you'll be fine

46 min: Hernandez kicks off with the ball not on the spot. What with all this positioning of corners so the ball is outside the quadrant, what's this aversion to whitewash?

I've been wondering about this too? Every penalty gets delayed while the ball needs to get respotted too.

p

he's not playing against any defenders that have learned anything innovative post 1950

how can they even celebrate a goal as basic as that

paul pogba the new tall black lothar matthaus

what are the post-1950 wing innovations?

i'm all for hating utd but tbh 4-0 up and wolves deserve the rancour so much more

not being able to beat a man, cross or stay wide, i reckon

GOAL!

fuck's sake wolves are ye fulltime or what the fuck are ye

So hateful, if Utd are going to crush a team they could at least have the grace to let Wayne Rooney be the one to score the goals for my fantasy team. Fuckers.

beg mick back, on yr fukn knees and beg him back

maybe the idea that touchline wingers without first rate technique p much dont work at the top level?

which is fine atm cuz ynahtid arent playing at the top level

I wonder if 30 points will be enough to stay up this season

25 by the looks

lol

Don't worry, there's no chance of United going down

the only rly impressive things abt this side are scholes, ferguson and to some extent welbeck and phil jones

but mainly just the manager and his 37 yr old midfielder

the idea that touchline wingers need perfect technique might be outdated since fullback started to become a position for whoever you liked but couldn't fit anywhere else

I think they've already got more than 30 pts already iirc. Having an okay season by all accounts.
xxp

the rly impressive thing about utd is that their ability to win so far outstrips any other ability in their collective arsenal

Phil Jones has been one of Utd's poorest players for quite a while. Keep seeing what you want to see though

yeah wellbeck isn't really much cop tbh, fairly dangerous tho.

Utd's best player this past while- scholes? Evans?

maybe in the epl where the fb corps is aging and/or limited, less so in the wider world where they are pretty damn important in providing width upfield

Evans, Scholes, Carrick

Rooney's keeping the stats ticking over too

Fiorentina went down a man early and lost 5-0 to Juventus yesterday, that match somehow remained watchable, even enjoyable, though. This is awful by comparison.

jones is just impressive in the way that any talented and unpredictable prospect is, someone who actually excited the ynhtid fans too last year

as for him being crap atm wow whod have thought that a 19 yr old who had played more games than anyone in the first part of the season might start to flag after xmas

that's my point nakh, fullbacks can't rly tackle/mark anymore, they rely on athleticism and pace to shut down their man, so trickery and creativity becomes less of a thing in a winger

I'm not writing him off or anything but he hasn't actually been a factor in Utd getting to the top of the table. They might not be impressing you but that's down to players like Evans, Carrick, Rooney and yes, the 37 year old.

yah i dont rly see that at all

'wingers' are more likely to be inside forwards / attacking mids who cut in with their stronger foot and/or go for the gap between fb and cb

there are a lot of talented players in these categories atm

nb yes by impressive i mean ppl who just stand out or do something interesting rather than just productivity

valencia is a talented player that doesn't do those things

He was also the worst player on the pitch by some margin in last year's CL final. I think Nani's better against top opposition.

valencia is only really dangerous in a flat 442, which cannot work consistently vs the better teams

hes not alone but represents the diminished ambition and parochialism of this ynahtid side

Wigan moving off the bottom in style there

Wait - what? How did that happen? Do City have even more?

City have 69 with a game in hand
