I'm still struggling to see what Oscar offers the team, in the first 25 minutes today he lost possession 7 times, Hiddink had seen enough after 53minutes and took him off, I can see he has potential but imo he isn't suited to the Premier League, too inconsistent and not strong enough .

I don't think it's fair to judge him on this game. He really isn't suited to playing as a winger.

I wasn't judging him just on this game but over the last 4 seasons.

We start with Iva against martial stupid.

What did Martial do? Iva had a good game against him!

I agree, Ivanovic didn't get beat as much as I thought he would. I can only remember maybe 2 occasions when Martial beat him.

Wow I actually think you believe you should of had a pen lol.
You got away with one today no doubt about it.

Yes Ctr think it was a pen, and we were lucky in that aspect, . Do u want Jose as your manager, I would say it will guarantee you the league next year, but with pep at city I am not so sure. At least it will awaken the club, and guarantee world class players, but with pep and Jose in the same city should be interesting, to say the least,

CTR- if that terry decision had been in the opposite box and it he was blocking Blind's shot you know you would have wanted one.
And you say we 'got away with it' yet many people are calling DDG MOTM for 3 outstanding saves.

Should indeed have been a penalty. Clear hand ball. However I can see why the ref didn't give it as it was from very close range.

I was at the game and first impressions were that it was defo a pen, having seen it on tv I think there is very little Blind can do to get his arms out of the way from that range. Not a pen for me.

Not entirely sure why you believe you should have won. Courtois made one great save to deny Martial but apart from that the rest were routine saves. Your only goal in the match was a wonder strike, which 9 times of 10 Lingard probably would have missed and came just after Zouma had been replaced so we weren't fully organised at the back.
On the other hand DDG made 3 great saves, we had a penalty appeal turned down (probably rightly, although they are given) and I'm almost 100% sure that if there was another 5mins or so we would have gone on to beat you.
Stats wise; possession was pretty much 50-50, you had one more shot than us, passing completion % was pretty much the same for both and in fact we were the only side to create a 'clear cut' opporunity.
Overall a point was a pretty fair result.

Looks like a nasty injury to your boy Zouma.

Cheers, Dags. I was really devastated to hear him screaming on the pitch like he did. A very good player and he seems a genuinely good guy to me as well. Hope he recovers without lasting repercussions.

Would love to see us start RLC and Kenedy today as they would tear the static Man U midfield comprising of two of Fellaini, Carrick, Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin to pieces. Doubt it will happen sadly.

Same here mate, it's sad though that we won't play them. That's what kills me the most, not the results but the fact that we won't play the ones hungry to prove something.

I hope the new manager has some money to spend because personally i think we are quite a few players short
Just hope the chinese come in with an offer for pedro as well.

HAHA RLC and Kenedy. Why? RLC looked crap against Milton Keynes last week, so why the hell would you want him anywhere near the starting line up baffles me!
Kenedy. again why? This is united not some lower league team.
Think people need to stop going on about playing the youth, and admit they are not good enough. YET.
RLC - will be another Josh McEachran. IMO. Far too lazy, doesn't work hard enough to be in the match day squad.

On RLC i think that was mourinho's problem with him but when you watch him it is quite apparent he doesn't do enough work without the ball.

This is a question that is for everybody and I would like to hear Ed001 and 018 opinion on this. What has happened to matic? He is performing badly to say the least and compared to last year he looks a shadow of himself. As far as I remember there were not any rumours regarding him wanting to move which can suggest his head has been turned. He looses ball so often, is not strong enough in tackle and more often then not is pushed away from the ball. It is baffling and I think if you would have any cfc supporter last summer his position and form would have been the least of worries.

{Ed001's Note - he just looks unfit and lacking in confidence to me. With each compounding the other.}
07 Feb 2016 12:28:41
I think he struggling from the start of the season covering for whomever was playing alongside him, constantly being dragged out of position and I do think he is a confidence player and he came into his own last season because he was getting a lot of praise, now he is shaking off criticism. What should be worrying is the 'unfit' tag that many of the team have been labelled with during the season and they 'were' clearly unfit; how did that happen?
