Stoke City v Manchester United

Stoke are a fecking disgrace! They came here to stop us scoring not to play a game of football!

How are they a disgrace? They have set up the best way possible to try and get a point, if they try and play us at football they will be swept aside.

Credit to them for keeping us at bay so far.
 
Berba defensive work rate today is very good, both of Stoke's corners he was heading it away
 
Scholes ran that half, we need to buck up our ideas in the final third
 
Disappointing half, we've played well but just can't get through that massive Stoke defense. Hopefully it'll come in the second half.

Scholes has been absolutely unreal though
 
Loads of possession but no end product.Nani and Valencia need a kick up the backside.

I don't mind teams playing defensive against better sides. However in my mind it is almost unsporting behavior to just park the bus infront of the goal from the first minute.
 
Valencia has one trick...and its rubbish.

Nani has many tricks...and they're all rubbish.
 
fecking awful half to watch, although, apart from the score we have dominated them.

Valencia should have scored, and Nani has been pretty abysmal apart from that 1 shot.

Berbatov and Rooney getting extremely frustrated by the lack of delivery to them, and rightly so. Ball getting stranded on the wings, and either shit crossing or being slower than a scouser learning algebra and getting past the Stokeys on the wings by Nani and Valencia are decreasing our chances in half.

Scholes has been good so far, minus the tackling, although that comes at no great suprise. However, on a couple of occasions he has gone for hopeful pokes upfield instead of keeping possession and passing into an, admittedly crowded but passable-through penalty box and surrounding area.

However, we must keep the pressure on them, and this will end 3-0, Rooney with all 3.
 
berba would be the best player in the world if only he had some pace .. the time he was running/walking with the ball down the right flank .. walked with it .. got it past 2 players ...


stoke are playing very narrow. . and they are huge. . crosses havent worked and we cant get through them

:nervous:

feck off.

Nani has been beating his man the entire game.

Our problem is the crossing, it's not working, and it's not likely to against a team like Stoke. We need to keep the ball low.
 
Well Tony Pullis certainly seems happy with his tactis

I dont understand all the Nani comments, yes he was having a bad half but him and Rooney are the only ones who looks like scoring in those kind of match.

Nani's been pants
 
If Nani had scored a hat-trick in the first half everyone would have been saying how well he'd been doing.

Aye, Stoke are a tall, strong team. It's seems pointless putting balls in the air. How''sBerbatov been? He's the only real one who is strong in the air with his height.
 
valencia and nani with chances.

United has to keep on fighting. it'll be a corner or on a counter but it'll come.

maybe setanta north america can catch up during ht and get within 30 seconds of actual time. :rolleyes:
