Manchester United vs. AC Milan

milan have been very poor in the first half

Terrible defensively, but I think they've been impressive going forward.

Pirlo, Silva, Ronaldinho have all had great passes that could've led to a goal.

Huntelaar's shown everyone exactly why we don't want him. Ambrosini's shown everyone why he's an embarrassment for Milan.
 
Nani put us under pressure by giving the ball away eight times that half

Sort it the feck out

We looked class until we scored, now it's all about containing them.

He is working hard by tracking back but he has been woeful thus far. Doing his best to feck it up
 
park has been very good again in the middle... and as per usual he is putting in loads of work... (berbaflop take note)
 
Pretty damn happy with that, gone very flat but we're keeping them quiet and I'll put up with a similar second half.

I'd like Rooney to stop trying to flick it behind himself without looking, it's not worked any of the 4 or 5 times he's tried it and if we'd kept possession in those positions it could have turned into something. Also someone needs to tell Nani we're the ones in red.
 
had a peek at that milan forum
god its awful

they make rawk look sane
 
Park our best player. Rooney trying to overelaborate. Think we will shit ourselves if we concede early in the 2nd.
 
Neville has been very good so far, that right wing has been a United stronghold so far. Neville cross for the goal was immaculate. Gazza to Wazza.

Rooney has been silent since the goal, but hes probably just dropping enough to keep midfielders interested in him in breaks. He doesn't need to chase the ball as much.

Nani is inconsistent.

Rio and Vidic have been brilliant.

Fletcher is quality.

Park is healthy.

Playing great, need to keep it up, kill it off.
 
Good performance, doing our job.

Rooney should come for the ball more often. They couldn't handle him the very few times he did.
 
Park was a magnet for the first 10 minutes, every ball in midfield was dropping to him and allowing us to get back on the offensive. Thats not a coincidence. He really knows his stuff that boy.
 
oh and i wasnt downplaying our performance
we were very good for the first 25-30 minutes


but even when we slowed down, milan werent playing like a team that needed to score 3 goals

maybe the rooney goal deflated them .. thought they were predictable and not really much of a threat


they will play better in the second half .. surely
 
You have got to be kidding.Why all those cheap shots at Berbatov when he isn't the type of player who plays in the penalty box like Rooney does :wenger:

He was in the penalty box plenty for Spurs and scored far more often with his head for them than for us.
 
Berbatove woulnd't do a good job marking anyway, what Berbs needs to do is be in the box just like Rooneys' header. He doens't need to come up to link the game if we have Scholes/Fletch/Park/Valencia.... I'm leaving out Nani until he can actually pass the ball correctly.
Completely pointless to bring him up and insult him when a) he's not playing at the moment, and b) park and berbatov have completely different styles to their play. We're up 4-2 on aggregate and Ezee fits in a dig at Berbatov. Unbelievable.
 
Nemanja and Rio are playing fantastically well, winning everything in the air and making some vital blocks. I'm hoping that this is a sign of things to come, if we can keep them both fit.
 
saw the replay for the pirlo shot .. the ball was moving a lot

Agreed, he's brilliant, unbelievable that people still roll their eyes when his name is on the team sheet.
 
That Rooney - Neville hug was man-love central.

He's playing off the striker, Berbatov's role, instead of Berbatov. And he's doing it really well. Comparisons can certainly be made.

How the feck is not marking Pirlo and insult ? Better go back and study English bro.
 
As a game it's awful and the the atmosphere seems a bit flat since we scored.

Park is a top player, and I loved that bit of inovation from Valencia to win the corner. Rooney was awesome for the first 20 minutes, a bit overelaborate but you don't mind that because he's working hard to unlock the defence.

Great to see Rio Evra and Vidic together and Gaz has played very well, 2 crosses aside.
