So how exactly is he supposed to get match fit?
That will fix things.
I liked your turn of phrase!
They've all been pretty crap except for Rooney who was superb the first 30 minute excluding the embarrising dive.
Park is a bit useless on the ball, but at least he's working his socks off at winning it back.
Giggs has been terrible so far, hardly put a foot right, but he seems to do that a lot in the first halfs only turn godlike in the second half.
Anderson's been extremely wasteful, they are over him within seconds.

At first i was missing the commentary but when Joe Royle started jabbering on i changed my mind, blimey.
Our defense is all over the place, but that is hardly unexpected against a very good Villa side who deserve credit. They are a handful even when we have our best back 4 available. We have actually played well, and would have scored if we had 2 up front. Owen on in the second half looks obvious, with the form he's in. Chelsea dropping points means that we have some room for error, so no reason to panic.
Biggest disappointment for me was that embarrassing dive by Rooney. Really shameful.

Good start, bad defending, bad team selection, bad bad dive, bad luck. Bad. Mine's a berbaberg.
Because you're a fecking Pandeco.
No way I would take Giggs off the way he seems to play second half. Park off, Giggs out wide, and Owen or Berb on for me.
I be annoyed though for us drop points since chelsea don't drop points often....
Park offers nothing going forward....need another striker on and put Giggsy back to the left...
I'd bring Fletcher in CM alongside Carrick. We need someone with better accuracy and weight in his distribution. Either Park or de Laet at right back. Giggs to the left and Berbatov on for Anderson (poor game - distribution). Valencia needs to be woken up - he's lacking sharpness he had prior to the midweek game. Else, bring on Obertan.
training
Training doesn't get you match fit.
Very good game so far. Our attach has been pretty good, just missing that little bit around their box. The interplay between Rooney, Valencia, Giggs and sometimes Park has been very good. Evra as usual providing a good attacking outlet.
Rooney has been great, Giggs has shown superb dribbling at times, Valencia has looked a threat. Park began well, but faded towards the end of the half. Would like to see much more from Anderson. He has been very quiet in the middle. PIG has been poor as well.
Defense needs to tighten up, and I would bring on Berbatov to support Rooney. Other than that, more of the same and we should have a decent chance to get back.

What do you think of what Kuscszack did on that play when he just sprawled himself out knowing that Agbonlahor was going to pass it? I thought it was a pretty smart thing to do.
Everybody post that they would take Giggs off. Come on. And park whilst we're at it.
It's not VDS!!!! fecks sake what a thick commentator.
Plenty of overreaction in here, you'd think we just got domianted by Villa for most of that half or something.
Wes positioning was clearly off there.
still, we have looked a great threat.

There is only one outcome of this match - United win. I am absolutely sure of this.
We are so reliant on Evra to provide attacking threat from the left, he's carried Park this half.
come on united!
Park off and Berbatov or Owen on. Don't think its Parks night. Need more players in the box. Come on United!
"A couple of saves for Edwin van der Sar"
Looked good because it worked, but I wouldn't say it was very good goalkeeping. Still, better to be lucky than good. Or something.
Fergie and United surely can't let this opportunity, to get level with chelsea, get away.
training
You only get match fit from playing in competitive matches. You can get fitter through training but the sharpness that is implied by the term match fit is something you get from the games themselves.
The Wolfsburg team should have played.
Tell me about it. It's been frustrating but we've played well and the game's been enjoyable. If anything it's set the second half up really well.
Well we are down by a goal at home, you can't expect people to be pleased about that....
Oh and bring on the oberskill too.
one up front?????
villa a better outfit than wolfsburg....
Annoyed? yes, but before the games started we had the tougher fixture on paper. Losing this will still leave us better off thanhad we drawn and they won. Can't expect only them to lose points.
Villa are a very good side. Saying that we were worth at least a goal in the first half. I still think we'll need more than 2 to win this.
Owen will win us this one MO7
Attacking wise we've been great, just been unlucky in finishing.
Need to sort out defence, but otherwise always have faith. A second half Giggs masterclass to follow.
