Newcastle United vs. Manchester United

So at one point we had 4/5 players in the box but nobody on the edge when it came out and now we have hardly anybody in there.
 
We've been so poor tonight. The greatest disappointment for me has been the inability of our players to spot runs and hit the ball early and accurately. The lack of speed in our passing has allowed Newcastle to get set every single time we've tried to build an attack and we've never looked like playing through them when they've got back into two banks of four.
 
Not all doom and gloom but we need some serious introspection - this nonsense about not buying because there is no 'value', our team rotation policies and damn the injuries. Not sure if we can do anything about the injuries, but we sure seem to have more of them than any others.
 
Even though we won the Champions League with a team that generally were at their weakest in the midfield?

Were they? Paul Scholes in superior to every player in our midfield at this moment and every possible player in our midfield from the bench or academy, so the point you make is wrong and secondly via I meant concerning the way we play, if you're out midfielded by Newcastle then simply we need to address these issues - and have needed to since Scholes started slowing down anyway.
 
If Obertan makes it 3-0 the caf will explode.

Well, make that 4-0.
 
Owen Hargreaves, Cristiano Ronaldo and Fletcher and Anderson of 2009 dislike this.

Ronaldo often played as a winger in a 4-3-3, or as a forward. I wouldn't have really said he was a part of that midfield.
 
3-0, Jones own goal.

Sneijder is not who we need, it's a Modric type CM

A third, feck
 
Inneffective midfield, strikers who can't control a football, and defenders who can't win a ball in the air. Recipe for disaster when all of these things happen in one game.
