^^ Great goal, even considering the dodgy defending

Another great goal from Depay

Did Sony lose Champions League advertisements? They seem to have been replaced by Walkers.

The bigger issue is viewing figures. BT sports only vs ITV and Sky, which far more people have. Shame.



Hmm, pie.

Man U get through, Depay looked good. They still need a defender though.

It would be nice if United would buy Laporte from Bilbao, but Blind was simply wonderful yesterday! He even assisted Memphis' second goal.

United needs to have the balls to drop Rooney when he's not playing wel

True but you need a solid strong central defender for whom it's their natural position. Do you have any of those at all? I'm not sure Smalling or Jones fit the bills. Blind is good but he should be playing along sign Schneiderlin in DM. Morgan works best with a partner (see Wanyama, Alderweirald etc last season), someone who is comfortable to run up while defensively they form a great partnership to stop counters and players getting through at all.

There's Rojo, but he is not too consistent and is also very injure-prone. Also, I don't really see Blind ever playing as a DM due to Carrick and Schweinsteiger. I also can't see Blind play as a LB because we have Shaw! Until we buy a new centre back ( if we buy one in the first place) we have to stick with Blind as a CB.

Depay is a great buy for Man U.

I really need to get Rooney out of my Fantasy Football side, he is trash right now.

My team got another draw. Hooray.

They've yet to allow an opponent to score a goal against them. Two clean sheets + 1 OG with 3 wins in 3 games doesn't point to a major problem in defense.
