But he nearly very could have been sent off. Etherington will have a go at him at every chance. Best to take him off.

Still think that Bryan?
We NEED to finish this one off. I have a feeling Stoke will nick a goal performance aside.
Gazza, sorry, you have to come off.

agree, I like em. Scored from corner against Stoke that's something when you are shit at them.
have you ever seen a naked woman ?
Shouldn't play Neville against Etherington - silly.
Bring oranges on.
Neville off at HT please Fergie, either bring Brown on, or stick O'Shea to the right.
Fergie does not look pleased. We had a 50-50 first half. We are good and sometimes pretty bad too. Berbatov has not really got into the game. He just looks pissed off. I hope he does not turn into the Berba of last year.
Neville has struggled. Evra has had a mixed half as well. We definitely need to reduce the amount of fouls on them. Chicarito has been really bright the first half. He just has to get better at making those crucial final runs to finish.

Well Evra brightened up towards the end, but still the threat didn't come from the wing
Nevile is a lucky bastard
Hernandez and Berba are our best attacking pair
Nani average
Scholes was steady. Missed him
The defense did well with the areal threat

Neville for Obertan at HT? (Evra to LB, O Shea to RB)
What ever the reasoning to start with Neville does not seem to working at the moment.
Paddy could've scored a couple already...wtf does he have to do to score
Gary should be taken out. One more mistimed tackle and he is off.
We are struggling in midfield.
We are struggling in midfield.
Gary Neville will always do "fine"... but when a player with any pace runs at him he's now a liability, accept it because it's the truth. I loved Gary Neville, he used to be one of Europe's best right backs, but note the word "used".
Hopefully Nev will be taken off at half time - we will go down to 10 men otherwise.
What is with Mariner? Stoke keep going through the back of our players and waves play on - we touch a player and it's a foul - ridiculous that the team that is doing all the fouling doesn't even have a card yet.
Really need to figure out how to maintain possession better because they are bombarding us - that and get Berbatov and Nani more on the ball.

not pretty, but doing what needs to be done away at Stoke.
Great goal and good energy from Hernandez. Hes really coming on.
Gaz
lucky to be on.
Still far from over though.

I hope your wife did not see you type this.
Shouldn't play Neville against any team with a left winger.
He gets skinned by everyone. Take him before he gets sent off.
That said that first tackle was never a yellow.
Brown should replace Nev, so we don't lose a guy that is decent in the air.
But the second tackle was, so I think its all fair.
Neville must be subbed. No risks.
Phil McNulty reports: "Manchester United the more dangerous side and deserve their lead - but Stoke City not out of this by any means. Answers on a postcard explaining how Gary Neville is still on the pitch please."
I'd bring Carrick on for Neville, put O'Shea out right and put Evra at left back. Take control of the game. Carrick has good height as well.
True but if we win everyone's going to say we only won because refs love us blah blah
Neville's done ok, but needs to go off now. He should've been sent off and whatever kind of foul he gives away next time, he will be sent off. Bring Brown on instead.
Team have defended well, hopefully we manage to keep our concentration for the whole game this time.

Harsh but fair, still lets not have a go at one of the true legends of the club we'll miss him when he's gone.
I just saw the tackle on Nani again. I think it was Delap with a shocking tackle.
Gaz getting away things that would have got Rafael sent off by now.
If he plays another 45 mins, we're going to end up with 10 men on the field.
Scholes also on a yellow.

I like Evra on the left wing, gives us natural balance out there and someone with speed and delivery down that flank something we lack without Giggs.
she knows about my man love for Berba /Berba's first touch/...damn, however you say it, it still sound dirty
I'd be surprised if Neville goes off given SAFs strict rule on subbing before the 60 minute mark.
So you want to play Chica on the left and leave Berba upfront on his own? We all know how that will go. We cannot afford to sit back and defend. We most definitely need another goal. When we score another, then it would be sensible to bring on an extra defensive midfielder.
Delap should have been booked and it's 'well yea but you know...'
Neville should have been booked and it's not right, tue big teams get the decisions, that's not the rules blah blah blah. Christ, yes he should have been booked for that, but let's have some consistency shall we.

I'm expecting goals from Berbatov and Obertan in the 2nd half. (Plus a 3-0 win)
btw that really was an amazing goal by Hernandez.
quality.
quality.
63% possession for us!!!
We've done really well in the air against them - well played Rio and Vida to be fair, they've been supreme thus far; let's keep it up.
Fletcher and Scholes have been great as well, in particular Fletch has picked up his game from the past couple of weeks.
Plus Berbatov and Hernandez link up really well, hope there's more good stuff to come form these two. It hasn't been Nani's finest game at all but it's been a game so far where it hasn't been necessary to rely solely on him for service.

Can't even call that a tackle, he just kicked a lump out of him.
Its not a strict rule, he's made subs at HT plenty of times when it's needed.
It's needed.
