Tottenham v Manchester United

[Cina]

i don't blame rooney, or nani or giggsy

but today berbatov wasnt there

Huh? Giggs has been absolutely awful, the worst I've seen him in a long time, he can't keep up with the pace of the game at all. Rooney has been really poor too, he has no first touch at the moment.

Harsh to say Nani has been poor, he hasn't had the ball enough and Spurs are doubling up on him when he has the ball.

 

[Scholesy]

This is a test for Rafael, he must show discipline.

 

[Neutral]

Modric is raping Carrick and Fletcher, one of them has to come off.

Fletcher for me, already on a yellow. Take Carrick off, and that leaves Fletch to do all the defensive work, with the card hanging over his head.

Ugly ugly game, if thats what the best attacking sides on the prem have to offer.. dearie me, Blatter was right to say La Liga is a better league.

What game were you watching?

 

[Alex]

Scholes and Anderson don't offer much of an improvement...who else is there?

Gibson and Hargreaves?

Wind ups arent usually to welcome in matchday threads, quit banging on about Gibson

[Tumbling-Dice]

I thought it could have been red. was relived it was yellow.

Me too.

 

[Marcosdeto]

He set up Rooney with a very good chance and has hardly given the ball away once, Rooney has been far more wasteful than Berb.

IMO rooney has been our most dangerous player, he had some chances and just missed them

on the other hand, berbatov wasnt there

From kevhawker on Twitter: "Fergie should pretend to sub Rafael for his identical twin at HT, but keep him on and not need to worry about his booking!"

 

[FreakyJim]

Carrick and Fletcher are playing like SPL players. Both need acres of space and tons of time to properly control a ball, let alone pass it to someone besides VDS.

 

[TonyMontana]

and balance

 

[Berlinknives]

We are missing Park and Valencia, and Anderson and Scholes are on the bench. It can be solved.
.

Seems more of a greener grass statement here.

He is right tbh.

 

[The Black Pearl]

What ever about Rafaels yellow, no way did Fletcher deserve a yellow for that tackle there near the end, i couldn't believe when Dean pulled out the yellow.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them walking in the 2nd half now.

Scholes for Fletch
Anderson for Scholes

hopefully sooner than later

Berba has been the best out of those 4. Giggs by far the worst.

Great idea.

Did you see Arsenal's (front 6) performance yesterday?

He's not on the bench

 

[Godfather]

Henderson

No. An established one would be great. This guy hasnt proved anything so far.

 

[BahamaRed]

Y'all pick pickin too much. That was a very entertaining first half,. Totally open and don't forget its throwin it down out there with a swirling wind. Nick a goal in the 90th and I'll be well happy.

You asked for it....

BBC Sport - Football - Man Utd 2-0 Tottenham

 

[wr8_utd]

Scholes for Fletch
Anderson for Scholes

hopefully sooner than later

 

[Raees]

What game were you watching?

Don't get me wrong, its fast and furious.. in a sense rather thrilling, but the quality of the football from a technical standpoint has been dire. I expect a much better second half.

How long are you expecting Scholes to play for exactly?

Rooney's first touch has been terrible.

 

[TonyMontana]

against West Ham?

 

[evra]

He is right tbh.

Really he isn't, it's been end to end and played at a terrific tempo, I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[Red Dreams]

Scholes for Fletch
Anderson for Scholes

hopefully sooner than later

Anderson for Fletch should do it.

 

[Godfather]

He is right though.

Nonsense, how can anyone not love this game (from a neutral point of view)? End to end stuff, chances being created, excellent defending, 2 teams going for the jugular, beats scorelines like Barcelona 5 - 0 xxxxxxxx any day

yeh against the shittiest side in the league at the moment..

 

[Rado_N]

here we go... COME ON UNITED!

 

[Kraftwerker]

Scholes for Fletch
Anderson for Scholes

hopefully sooner than later

Bring Scholes on, then sub him off.

Great.

Almost all those chances you are thinking of have been set up by Berbatov...

 

[Alex]

No surprise, no changes

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

No changes

No they're not, not at all. We've created nothing. It's been a fantastic game in midfield and the wide areas but neither team can do anything once they reach the box.
