The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1 – Man United vs Swansea

16 August 2014 2747 comments

Mark

And we’re underway. All our deadlines have passed and the season is here. It all starts at Old Trafford.

Normally the home of trophies and glory, this season United will host teams bereft of silverware but still buoyant, thanks to the Louis van Gaal revolution.

There’s room for optimism. A goal-strewn pre-season accompanied by all the right noises from the manager carries United into an opening day clash with Swansea who are asked to take up the role of sitting ducks. However, the visitors will have other ideas. With the bulk and pace of Wilfried Bony and Bafétimbi Gomis at their disposal, Garry Monk’s side have the weapons to disrupt a make-shift United back-line. It’s going to be interesting.

There should be goals. There should be points. Our expectations are raised by the fact that the world and his wife have the armband on Mr Rooney. The familiar tide of joy and frustration is just minutes away.

Fantasy Football and The Dugout Discussion has returned and it feels good. Enjoy the game.

They always seem to use the phrase "De Gea, he couldn't do much about it"....

Um, he's the Manchester Utd goalkeeper - He should do EVERYTHING about it! It's what he's trained to do!

Bartley and Moore, get out my team!!!

Maybe if i woke up earlier today, I would've come to the sensible conclusion that Bruce was a better pick than both of those

I regret my Blackett choice.. not because they lost + Yellow Card but because other than a clean sheet you can't hope for anything from him... And it wouldn't surprise me if next week he's not playin..

When do the United defence starting coming back into contention?

De Gea in goal and not too upset for now.
Expect them to improve each week and they will slowly and surely get back to full strength.

With Siggs and Rooney capt can't complain too much.
