Manchester United vs. Blackburn Rovers

i reckon obertan might start tuesday night, he looked good when he came on, got to play better than that at chelsea next week
 
Only positive to take from the game is that despite possibly the poorest he's ever played for us Rooney got a goal which generally leads to him going on a run of goal getting
 
agree...but we were quite woeful today. was hoping Obertan would be the spark.

think he was really nervous...will come good for sure,

as for the scousers....there's always next year :smirk:

Well take the world's best player and replace him with players that aren't half as good. . .and this is what happens. I hope Obertan turns out to be a surprise package.
 
And everything is ok with the world again.

Obertan had a poor debut, looked like he was shaking. He'll surely improve though. Got to feel sorry for Tosic though. He'd have surely done more for us.

Rooney seemed well off his game today but still got a goal. Valencia was excellent all game. Berbatov did the business when we needed it.

Wes Brown looked like an accident waiting to happen at times, but he's not played enough football to be match sharp.

yeah..the commentators were going on about that Obertan could be the new Ronaldo....hate to put that kind of pressure on the lad...but he looks a prospect.

We desperately need Fletcher against Chelsea or we are gone.
 
ripping into him for what ?
not scoring
he did very well ..

feck everything
liam miller scored
keano won
dippers were embarrassed
and
WE WON

who cares what someone on ssn is saying
 
Funny, Obertan seems like Nani inverted. He makes clever runs but appears to get nervous when he's on the ball. Nani doesn't make any clever runs, but he's cool as feck whenever he's got the chance to do a stepover or two. We should try to merge them.

When's Fletcher back?

Amazing that he's become such an important player.
 
My thoughts are in here (since I am banned from the Utd forum :()

Obertan was really mixed. His awareness seems much better than Nani/Valencia. He is also not that quick, but not slow. This doesnt worry me that much though. I think hell start against CSKA.

Most of the game, Anderson/Carrick never got into the box. That meant we only had 4 attacking players, who were likely to create/score. If Anderson/Carrick got into the box more often, it would make us look much less predictable. Fletcher can do it, but I still feel we are missing a player here.

VDS is a great keeper.

They're all better than Modric. And questioning Obertan's racial/ethnic make up is a tad racist.

He was on the bench. I reckon he'll get some time against CSKA.

Good news.

I agree with this. We're lacking runs from midfield, and it's making us a lot more easy to defend against.
