Well said Gary..I'm fed up of the fans that just bash him because its cool...FFS...watch the games!!!

I honestly don't know what the guy has to do.

His job is to get the ball from the back four and distribute it around the midfield..... oddly enough, this was a large part of Roy Keanes job as well.

I think we are very lucky to have a player like fletch who is only 21 and has made so many appearances for such a big club.... who cost us absolutely nothing, and is already an important member of our squad.
 
excellent burst of speed by richardson so late in the game...

and oh yeah..nice work by fletcher to win the ball and start the move

couldn´t agree more
 
Rossi, Evans, Martin...really impressed today....not so much with Simpson..but he's young and will improve, I'm sure
 
to be very honest...even Miller had a decent game...don't think anyone had a bad game today....really really pleased with Rossi's improved performance...I felt that, based on his previous games this preseason, Fergie might have felt he may not yet be ready for the first team, but am sure tonight's performance will prove he is..

agree. i think rossi needs to be more confident in his skills and he'l start scoring big :smirk:
 
I'm actually amazed at how well we played.

We could have scored 5 or 6.

Brilliant, made my day :D

do you think that Rossi perhaps played better because he was up against european opposition?

He probably lacks a bit of the physical side at the moment, and so with a little more space tonight, he had a little more time to take a touch.

I noticed against the south africans, and the two league sides, he was outmuscled at times..... but he will get stronger given more games.

Really pleased with the performance tonight. Our youth set up starting to bear several fruits at once.
 
Sorry guys. Just logged into this thread and can't be arsed to go through it to find the score. What was it?
 
Seeing Simpson, Rossi, Evans and Martin playing for United, at such youg age! Memories of fergie's fledglings? Could this be the year that we see the new breed?

Lets hope so.

Our youth set up does produce players with excellent technical abilities.

6-5 Manchester, we ended the game with only 5 players, all of our goalscorers got sent off again.

Walked on it fine when he came down the steps though.

Hopefully just precautionary.

He watched the rest of the game on the bench, which means that nothing is serious.

Hav'nt read all the posts, but if any cnut has posted anything or comes on and posts about anybody being shite tonight they dont deserve to be called UTD supporters.
UTD Youth 1 Ajax 0.
 
Every one was brilliant, although I think special praise should be for Evans considering he only flew out today and looked exceptional.

I still can't get all the stick Fletcher gets. In the two years I've seen out perform Fabregas, De Rossi, Gattuso, Maduro all players people on here would love to have.

Yes I have to agree about Evans, not just because he comes from Norn Ireland. And i've said on many occassions that if Fletcher is played in the middle he can be as good as any around.

Ajax missed a couple of key players like us still a great match by United.

Just a quick nod towards the Ajax fans who gave VDS a great reception. No bitterness there, and good to see it.
