Sheva.

Dat hair.

He's not a god, but he's surely better than Oscar or KDB. You think either of them can get 20 goals and 30 assists like Mata did last season?

Disgusting summer, media can't stop trolling us.

I'm confused, is that: "Wow, you're right" orrrr "Wow not a big deal" I don't know but there were times he did fuck up in attack, not only that VP incident, but he got the ball a few times in good positions and his final pass wasn't good enough. Or he took a quick shot when a pass was on, Oscar was also guilty of this.

Not to mention we do need someone more threatening on the wings. Hazard atm doesn't want to dribble anyone, and is happy to play at a walking pace. KDB and co also just come back into the middle. So Willian will be a welcome change.

Hopefully he gets his chance. Mou playing Ramires-Lampard in 3 straight games is just ridiculous. Forget the fact they're not great together, fatigue would also be an issue. And we have fresh legs in Essien, Mikel and MVG just sitting on the bench.

He really should have though, i didn't see RVP when the shot was taken, but on the replay he was wide open, easy pass and they would have their best chance of the game.

Last season Mata didn't play at the beginning of the season, and then he wasn't even injured like he was this preseason.

Porto did the same with Falcao, bumped up his release clause when they saw teams sniffing and then sold him 1 week later to Atletico.

Good challenge, hope to see some changes in defence and the pivot, for once this season.

Fake.

60m for him must be some kind of joke. We need a striker, yesterday all the good he did was playing as a cam. He hasn't played as striker for over a season in the PL, and when he has for England, hasn't exactly been great. 60m? Lol.

If you really want to leave, then you have to hand it in. But he's playing it safe, doesn't want to upset the Utd fans or lose his loyalty bonus, and at the same time wants a big pay day and main man role here. Can't have it both ways, Shrek.

We did not go there to get 0-0, we setup on paper to hit them on the counter, but it just didn't work as planned. But we were away from home so Jose settled for 0-0 late in the 2nd half, hence the defensive subs.

true, but if he had just been happy under Moyes and got on with his football, we would have signed a striker by now. Rooney's camp told us to go after him.

Fuck him, he's wasted our time and has really narrowed down the options we have to pursue at striker.

Forgot RVP was playing for a minute, well done

'I made changes at the end because I felt it was difficult to win and I didn't want to lose.' - Jose. I think that's fair enough.

Lampard was good, defensively. Didn't bomb forward, kept an eye on Rooney and also helped Cole out a few times. His problem right now are those rubbish long balls, he's meant to be our "Alonso" but doing a not so good job at it, to put it nicely.

Mourinho played defensive football but, defensive football does not = 0 attack. We had 4 attackers out there, and they all managed to play badly. No width, no drive, nothing. We will play like this vs Man city also, but if we select better forwards, we will be able to do damage on the break.

Oscar was good defensively, but a CAM is meant to focus on attack first. Mata needs to get his first choice spot back behind the striker. Oscar plays deeper, or should be on the bench to rest Mata.

Defence was ridiculously good. Only positive i can find.

Typical Mourinho "we cannot lose" mentality, meh.

Hazard is annoying.. how can you have such pace and skillzzz and not use it. Instead he always stops and passes short, arghhhhh.

KDB and Schurrle out. Mata and Lukaku on.
