Swansea City vs. Manchester United

Giggs has given it away a bit
Carrick has been good
Nani not so much
Park often grows into games..

good chance . shouldve done better there.

I tell you who'd make a world of difference to this performance.... Scott Parker :wenger:
 
Pretty solid performance. Just a bit dull to be honest. Since the City loss we've been playing pretty boring football, spending most of our time passing the ball between the CB's and central midfielders. Come on United!! Let's play with a bit more endeavor!
 
Poor performance but at least we're winning. Tempo is too slow and we've not been able to create any chances. Nani needs to play better and Giggs has to be less wasteful.
 
We just look like we are in first gear - waiting for things to happen rather than forcing the issue.
 
A lot of complaining on here I see. Not sure why, cos I think we're completely in control of this game. We're dictating the pace and Swansea are doin a lot of chasin. We're playin within ourselves a bit.

Carricks done a good job infront of the defence and back 4 have generally kept their shape well. Passing a bit sloppy at times, especially from Nani and Giggs is my only gripe.

I'd expect the game to open up a bit further in the second half and for us to get another 1 or 2 goals. A typical United European performance I guess. Considerin swanseas home form we've done pretty well. First goal they've conceded at home since February let's not forget.
 
Despite leading 1-0 the general performance has been average.Carrick has been good but the likes of Rooney,Nani,Park should do better.
I'm amazed by the lethargic movement up front, apart from Hernandez who seems to run all the time, it's not enough.
The off-the-ball movement has become a negative aspect of the game for United for a few matches now.
 
I fancy them to score in the second half so we need that second goal badly.
 
Carrick and Giggs' return to something like the form we saw from both during last season's run in has been a Godsend. We have been infinitely better than we were before the international break in midfield and by and large its been a sturdy performance. Nani seems unusually off colour, especially in light of his midweek performance but no doubt now that I've said that he'll go and blast one in from 20 odd yards, whilst Vida in possession has been quite the liability but everyone else seems to have been on it. 1-0 is a decent score so far but we really should capitalise on the possession we're enjoying and put the game beyond doubt.
 
I'd take poor sceond half performance for that 1-0 and hope that the next game is a lot better.
 
Early season form and he'd have been all over that like a fly on shit. I thought he looked a bit slow to get to the ball from where he was. Admittedly it wasn't a fantastically hit pass.

It wasn't a pass, it was a scud missile directed at the far touchline.
 
I fancy them to score in the second half so we need that second goal badly.

Yeah, they've looked threatening, but they haven't been able to take their chance.. I suspect they'll have one more chance in the second half. Definitely need that second goal.
 
not surprised. Fergie has gone back to basics of Defence first...

I know. Just hope it changes soon because we've got the players to play some wonderful stuff but you can understand Fergie being cautious post that result.

Nani's just back from an international. Giggs hasn't played in an age.

How is it a poor performance? We're dominating possession and our passing is pretty good.

We could do with upping the tempo and getting a second but I'd hardly call it a poor performance.

No point being all cavalier, we're in the lead, no point taking the risk of conceding trying to force the issue.
