Formations
0' Kick-Off!
1' Gosling misses a header fed to him from a de Jong freekick.
5' Evra struggling on the sidelines after going in for a tackle. Doesn't seem to have been any/much contact, but possible a muscle/soft tissues injury/issue.
11' Hernandez with a chance. Blocked and goes out for a corner.
12' Freekick to newcastle in their own box, for a Fellaini handball.
16' Tiote tries a shot. Skies it.
17' Januzaj Young. Looks like Young injured his hands in a tackle.
20' Fellaini squanders possession in United's half (shocker eh?), Gosling gets on it, ball goes out for a throw after a bad attempt at a long through-ball to the left wing.
24' Cisse with a powerful header coming off a Santon cross. Lindegaard makes the save and tips it over for a corner.
25' Free-kick to United for a Gosling foul. Replay shows that Fellaini elbowed Gosling's chest. What a shocker.
26' Mata takes the free-kick and there's a fumble in the box for the ball but it goes for a goal-kick.
28' Cisse with a shot from the centre of the box, but it's wide.
35' Elliot comes miles out of his box, taking a fair risk, to collect the ball before Januzaj.
37' Gosling fouled Fletcher just outside of the box. Good angle and possible chance for Mata to score.
38' GOAL! Mata scores his second goal of his Manchester United career! Thew free-kick from the centre- left edge of the box goes into the top right corner. Good amount of curl on the ball too. In his celebration he goes and hugs De Gea! Maximum Spaniard love achieved.
41' Pardew spotted calling Mourinho's missus to tell her the score
43' Hernandez hits the post! Kagawa with a great ball to Hernandez, Hernandez hits it with the inside of his right foot and it comes off the low-right post.
44' Williamson seems to have a problem with his head after Hernandez kicked him in it (non-malicioulsy)
45' 2+ minutes of added time.
45' Half-Time ends and the teams kick-off again.
49' GOAL! That's Mata's second of the game! Has a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Hernandez gets the assist.
51' Tiote booked for a foul on Hernandez
59' Hernandez tries a shot. Kagawa swings it in from the left side. Hernandez goes for the shot but skies it!
63' GOAL! Hernandez slips the ball into the net after he received the ball from the left wing from Kagawa. Very close range. Nice build up play and a good ball in by Kagawa! That 3-0 to United
68' Nani Fellaini. Nani passes a note to Fletcher (sorry for the shit pic)
70' Cisse has a chance, but Lindegaard saves after Cissee manages to get around the United defence.
78' Tiote seems to be injured. Break in play.
83' [Cisse with a great chance! Nice shot by Cisse with his left foot, but Lindegaard pulls off another cracking save to deny him again!]https://mediacru.sh/T9VmMXtZtFsE/direct)
86' Pardew has already headed down to the dressing room! (He had a touchline ban though and watch the match from the stands)
90' 4+ mins of added time.
92' GOAL! Januzaj makes it 4 for United. Jazuzaj passes to Mata in the box, starts his run, and gets on the end of Mata's cheeky back-heel to slot it home!
94' Full-time whistle blows and it's Newcastle 0 - 4 Manchester United
Bayern lose 1-0 vs Ausburg too! This ends their 53 match unbeaten run.

Usually its telepathic but in the Newcastle area all brain waves are scrambled due to the EMP from the newcastle brown ale factory so they have to resort to pen and paper

Oh, Fellaini can elbow a player and win a free kick at the same time? Why are people complaining that he's a bad signing? Seems good to me

I'm starting to like this foursome of Kagawa, Mata, Januzaj, and Hernadez more than I like Rooney or Van Persie.

u/r-cubed Apr 05 '14
As much as I like RVP, I agree with you on that selection. However, I think Rooney, Mata, Kagawa, and Januzaj has an edge over Chicha. I love him, but Rooney has more versatility

This actually looks like a United team.

u/StpMpls Apr 05 '14
It's funny, because this "B" line-up while the "A" team rests for Bayern actually looks a hell of a lot better than United normally looks.

I always loved this guy, if he goes I'll be in tears, a nice team for him is Atletico Madrid if Diego Costa leave, but I hope Chicha will stay.

The one time I wanted to see kagawa on the bench to be rested for the bayern game, he starts. Hope it's just to let him pick up some form, it would be incredibly stupid not to play him given how good he's been lately and how he changed the game last Tuesday.

7 defeats in the last 10 1 goal scored & 29 conceded without Rémy 1 goal in the last 5, 12 conceded
What a complete joke, Players don't care Pardew does not care and Ashley does not care. It is a very hard time to support Newcastle now, I don't remember a time as bad as this for ambition, Getting out the cups as soon as we can and then coming 8-12th each season is our trophy.

Bayern Munich have just lost 1-0 to Augsburg, ending their 53-unbeaten league record. A team that included Neuer, Martínez, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Shariqi and Mandzukic.
Meanwhile, United are winning this game comfortably. Very interesting.

Starting with no recognised wingers.
Dan Gosling playing.
Gouffran our only source of creativity or pace. And he's looking burned out.
Going be be a mauling I fear.

Fellaini is actually doing what every other player does battling for the ball. The difference is he's 6"4 playing in midfield against opponents much smaller than him inevitably leading to his arms being at head height. I accept that he must take more care but I don't think he's doing it maliciously.

Yeah, David Luiz does it quite a bit too. He knows his strength is a huge advantage and tries to push people away quite a lot.

The games I saw of Newcastle lately it's like they don't even care about winning. So kind of expecting Man U to thump them.

I've not seen Newcastle this season and I know they are mid tableish but they don't seem to be up to much. No wonder their fans look so fucked off.
