Manchester United vs. Benfica

Much better tempo after we got the goal. I'd like to see giggs brought on for fletcher. Benfica have played well. Carrick is playing well.
 
Who just heard them play a snippet of the champions league anthem to shut Steve the feck up for a second?
 
How we ever lived without Cleverley I wll never know.

Me too. In all seriousness though this season our ball retention has been poor whenever Cleverley hasn't been on the pitch. Fletcher and Carrick are looking like their old selves though, long may it continue.
 
Carrick has been awesome.

Young, Nani have been decent.

Fletcher is just out of depth and Jones really nervy.
 
Carrick, Berbatov, and Ferdinand are my current stand-out performers for us. The rest have been alright, Nani has had moments of magic but on at least three occasions he just ran into traffic expecting a free kick when a pass was well on.

We've played a lot better and I can only see us winning if we continue on in the second half. Maybe Hernández to come on and nick a goal.
 
We've certainly done better from 30 mins when someone tapped Berba on the shoulder & reminded him that he was due to play a game of football tonight...
Hard to put the blame on Berbatov if that was what you're doing. We were sloppy with little movement. The last 15-20 we started moving it quicker and as a result Berbatov(essentially playing as a lone forward) was able to get into the game.

Up until which point the game hadn't reached into their defensive third much, coincidence?
 
Carrickhaving one of his European Veron impersenation nights. Fergie was right he does come good in November.
 
How have we been so far? Been busy with shit.

Can someone please PM me a decent stream? Big reward.
 
Didn't want that half to end.Hopefully we can continue where we left off
