I can't believe Fergie's gonna make changes this early.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Harsh saying he's had no or little service.
Watching a different game from me. Berbatov's been in the box plenty of times in the first half. He's come deep a lot as well which is good for us since a lot of our good moves have gone through him.
As for second half - strangely our best attacking options may be to bring 2 fullbacks on - in Rafael and Evra.
Could take of Macheda and bring on Gibson and push Giggs up I guess.
Just need to be a little sharper with our final ball.
Come on United - know you have it in you to win this game. We need this one then worry about the next.
Berg is a decent pundit.
Dominating half. Not enough chances to show for it. Valencia should have put us 1-0 up. Berbatov dictating play well. He may not get in the box, but he is playing a huge part in our attacking play.
I don't think anyone's had a poor game. Just a case of Blackburn crowding us out. Give it time.
Berba has been the best player. Are you blind?
If Kiko comes off for a winger/midfielder it's suicide.
Our strikers not comfortable with each other. Uncomplimenting styles
blackburn have no interest in winning this game which is gonna make it difficult for us to win
I agree. Although Kiko has lost it at times, he is vital because he stays right up top.
unfair on him to be honest,he has played OK
You are watching Sky Sports 1, right?
Not only that, but we've got all the room we want on the ball, pretty much in any part of the pitch we want. Blackburn arn't even competing really.
Reckon Fergie will be tearing into them at half time for not already having the game wrapped up.
It's been a poor game all round so far.
Can I be the first to blame Berbatov, if we drop points.
And O'Shea.
And O'Shea.
As a midfielder yes. Not as a striker
Imbecile.
They're letting us play however we want up until their penalty box. Then it's like a vacuum with everybody sucking in to stop us.
Ferguson said in his pre match interview that Berbatov would be playing deeper. Berbatov is clearly following instructions.
If Valencia had stuck away an easy chance, we'd be rightfully toasting Berbatov.
That's where is being told to play I assume. The guy hasn't been much of a striker since he has come to United. I think he looks like a natural attacking midfielder. All he needs is someone who stays up front, all of the time (Kiko).
id bring on Evra for Neville
I think all players have had a decent half. We're creating a few chances but just need to improve the final ball. We'll walk this comfortably, be patient 
Well, if Berba hadn't made that run down midfield than there wouldn't have been an opening for Giggs to run into.
Yeah - poor is a bit strong in fairness. His touch has been off though. He's just not on the same wavelength as the rest of the side at the moment - naturally.
Are you a spastic? He's playing well. Just get behind him.
Obertan and Park coming on
Blackburn don't know how to handle Berbatov.
And he's clearly been asked to drop into the hole and try to break them down from there, but if you lot were to admit that, you'd have no stick to beat him with on today's performance. You'd swear it was easy to get other players in behind the opposition, which he's been doing all day.
Keep playing the blame game -while getting it ridiculously wrong - as it's endlessly entertaining.

So basically you acknowledge that he's playing the role the manager has asked him to play, and is playing it well, but you still decide to criticise him?

Indeed. No need to make any subs yet. We've dominated them to be honest and they are noticibly weaker without Samba. An early goal should open the floodgates.
Yeah I will agree with that , but that will come with more games
Nobody coming on
?? For who?
I'd like to remind everybody that there are other United players as well. Nani has been good so fat, bit wasteful but active.
He's a striker. As a striker he should have had a greater impact. Atleast against a team which is his level
David Dunn on for Rovers
The feck is that song about?
Obertan vs a tired yellow carded Salgado = Win.
