Park off for Scholes and Welbeck on for Giggs.
The Caf: OMG we can't keep the ball, they're so much better than us blah blah
ESPN and BBC Live Text: Possession=50-50.
We were back at OT at keeping the ball but we haven't be bad at all today, blunt admittedly but nowhere near as bad as some have suggested.
More magnets.
It is ahead and when you think of their top 2, La Liga is well ahead of the PL right now.
I dont think that was ever possible in fairness.
Are you for real?
When you are being closed down like that you play one touch football to negate it. Think about it!

Yup. Cleverley on the right wing, park in the middle. Baffling.
When was the last time we played Bilbao??
feck I don't get that at all.
We're clearly not arsed about this so I'm not going to be too critical. A wise move to take a hit tonight and focus on the league.
La Liga isn't only comprsed of the top 2.
Are you a silly cnut? Cannot you not actually watch the game and see where our weakness lies. It has nothing to do with attacking, but the mere fact of closing down the opposition in our own half. You stop the fecking flow goals, and 9 times out of 10 you win the fecking game. Especially when you're Manchester United.
Not really, I say that as a 'Spanish style' is as likely as me winning the lottery for our team. It simply isn't on Fergie's agenda. A star player is the only thing that'll see us beat teams like this.
Sorry if you thought I aimed the comment directly at you.It was more in general, the possession of the ball may be even but the quality of their ball retention pisses all over ours.
Might have something to do with Bilbao holding a comfortable lead. They can afford to let us have the ball.
Don't know and don't care if it's a better league but you'll see very few mid-class English teams play the same quality of football as those in Spain.La Liga isn't only comprsed of the top 2.
Chances of Rooney staying up top and not getting involved in the midfield?
With Vidic we'd have played yesterday.Of course with Vidic we win the tie.
lol...competitive?
we haven't looked their equal in the last three halfs of football. What makes you say we can do anything except draw this game?
No changes...
excellent.
maybe Park will morph into Messi and score 5 for us.
"Not being arsed" is what narrow minded fans convince themselves of so that they could take the defeat a little more easily.we clearly are arsed otherwise we would have fielded a different team, they are just a good side and we seem not to be able to play teams that are pressing us
This is not a particularly young or inexperienced team.
We need better players in order to compete with the top Spanish teams. We are miles off them.
We've a substantial squad of good players but few truly top players, if any tbh.
Munien (don't know spelling) looks like a player.
