Ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Very entertaining half!
Basle haven't rolled over. End to end stuff.
Welbeck, Carrick, Giggs and Anderson all looking good.

man c getting a good beating.
Great fun, that was.
Apart from the last 10 minutes when they were seen higher up the pitch, didn't Anderson and Carrick seem to be sitting too deep? Wonder if that was a deliberate tactic.

Remember Mancini's big talk after the Napoli game?
Welcome to the big time.

Rafa has mono.
Our defense 
the defence scares me
feck me you're negative.
5 matches 2-0 at half time... the other two 0-1.
HT: Welbecks stature keeps on growing
Uhm... Did De Gea even make a save in that half?

Wow. So many goals today. Wish we got a proper highlights show after the games here
He made one reflex save on Frei's shot after he was flagged offside.
So what's our bench like?
Any young ones we can bring on if we're still 2 up at 70 mins?

Welbeck's been fantastic, very impressive.
And he's been lifting weights, built like a greek god now.

Kelvin is good fun to read.
There are a good few that are Veetle, but I bet you could find a few who aren't. Not to pry, do as you please!
Can't remember one. Which is utterly bizarre. Basle had so many chances to geta shot off around and inside the box
Off you go into Boss' thread.
Welbeck probably has the second all round best game of our strikers after Rooney in my opinion, Hernandez is probably more lethal but I'm even unsure about that. M12 represent.
Bayern Munich have outscored the opposition 29-0 since 07 August.
Good movement and goals by welbeck
two assists by giggs - master is still going strong
defence needs hairdryer treatment - have been rather shocking at times, although coverup from middle has been nonexistent
we need val and young more into this - when they start moving with ball they are magic and create havoc in basel defence

They've conceded 1 goal all season
ESPN are saying he should have done better on ummmmm.. a cross that came in at some point sometime... in the last game...
kidding ofc
I think the wingers are in the game more than enough. I'd rather see our midfielders push higher up when we have the ball, which they started to do towards the end. For the first 35 minutes it was as if we had two 'defensive midfielders' sitting and holding. Anderson in particular needs to push on when we have the ball. Not saying they didn't play well, mind you.
We are looking threatening everytime we go on the attack but need to tighten up at the back, as we cant keep getting away with this sort of defensive display before a team punishes us for it. As i said earlier Carrick or Anderson need to decide to cover back now and then to cover the runners to cut a few of their chances out. Other parts of their game are fine just would like them to drop back to help the defence out a little bit more than they are.
Churbishley with yet another of his classic cooking anecdotes...
Basel was on top at the thyme

Christ!
Curbishley criticizing Carrick.
I think we've been fairly sloppy, great to be in front obviously, but I'd expect a better second half performance
Carrick has been guilty - as has Fabio. Back four not quite a unit!
what is the old trafford attendance tonight..anyone know?
It will say it's near capacity as most of the empty seats have been paid for.
right here we go again
So basically he made no saves. Bizarre, considering Basel created good chances.
Et voila, first save.
It went on general sale though, so not that high.
