Hmm maybe some of that £150m should've been spent on a couple more defenders

Yeah but from what I understand the medical staff told van Gaal pre season that Evans smalling and jones were looking fitter than they'd ever been

Plus I'm not really sure who we would have bought. Even now the players I see us linked to are shawcross and vlaar

City spent 30 mill on mangala and in not sure he's been worth that. The games he's looked best are next to kombat but you could stick Titus bramble next to limp any and he will look good

you know how europeans have said that van gaal infamously starts slow and it takes a bit of time before his teams come good? Did barcelona, bayern and ajax have michael carrick and antontio valencia as their defenders?

To be fair, noted manager Davey Moyes also played Valencia as right back. And possibly Carrick at CB if I'm not mistaken.

The second yellow was at least as dumb. There was no need to go in there and even if there was he was waaaay too late.

Fake E: Uwe Rösler just said the first foul wasnt a pen :v:

Evans is under rated Imo he's by far the best of the 3

Jones has gone backwards, I'm not sure what happened to him. Maybe he wasn't mentally ready for the step up from Blackburn. He's just got no footballing brain which means he goes in for clumsy tackles where he gets himself injured

Smalling I think is ok but not at the United level

^Shawcross and Evans would be a cool and good defensive pairing. Shame we ever sold him, really. Stupid Barcelona DNA in Pique.
