What's with all the top teams being unable to score today? 
Good half from us imo.

Serie A syndrome
Not at all, since Villa haven't threatened at all going forward while the Arsenal match was end to end.
I enjoyed that.
Villa have come to contain.... at home 
Park should've scored. Giggs has been very good.
The goal will come if we keep our game up.

Tevez is doing alright, just needs to make sure he gets the final ball right.
Rooney and Giggs need to get into the game more

HT. 0-0. Need to step it up if we want to win this.
Not a bad half. Have had a few half chances.
Tevez looks a bit off the pace today. His passing is a bit wayward and seems to be holding the ball up too much.

Agreed. We've played fine, Villa have gradually got deeper and deeper. Last 10 minutes we really stepped up and started putting them under real pressure. Keep this up and they'll eventually crack.
Typical first half .All United with nothing to show for it.Can't afford to drop points.
Tevez's interplay is right up there with the best in our squad, it's like he just has this connection with everyone and they all understand his play.
Villa are closing down Carrick very well which has worked out brilliantly for them, otherwise they've been poor and we've been good.

stuck in second gear
We've had a lot of the ball, but don't seem up to our usual pace specially in the final third.
Pretty much untroubled defensively. But we do need to pick up the pace in the second half.

Park is an indecisive player, he usually takes too long in situations like these. Either that or he just freezes from fear in important situations.
Tevez is playing ok, he still dribbles too much and slows attacks down.

Hard to counter attack when the home team won't come into your half.
Quite embarrassing the lack of ambition shown by Villa.
We're playing ok. Park the best of our lot, for me.

He's been one of our best players so far.
I'd love to see Park in a Bruce Lee yellow and black body suit.
yeah, that's racist.
Where is Tevez actually playing?
He's all over the place, which would be useful but he's not been doing much with the ball
We're not playing bad, but need to be more direct if we re planning on scoring today...

Decent half that.
Park and Evra look our most threatening players going forward. Tevez looks well short of any form, Ronaldo seems a yard slower than usual as well.

it was a good half for us, minus for Tevez I think the guy wants to do everything: pass, score and become a bit selfish...also I prefer Anderson to Park
Bruce Lee was Chinese though. Park is Korean.
Early on in the half in partiuclar it was all a bit half paced and tentative, there was some improvement but we're not eactly oozing that lethality that the team is capable of.
Good half, I think we sussed Villa's game plan out by about 20 minutes. Fancy us to get a couple 2nd half.
Quite good so far but we hardly tested them. We are not efficiant enough and Tevez is really below par these days.
Park should have scored, poor decision making.

Playing some lovely stuff. Tevez has played well in build up but his final delivery has been shocking
Giggs has been putting himself about but his pass selection has been a touch off
Yeah, and I'd still love to see him in a Bruce Lee style yellow and black body suit. He's already got the hairstyle.
He was playing in Brazil on Friday night, I'm sure he's wrecked.
And Park's played well.
Am I watching a different game? I thought Tevez was dreadful :S
UAE doing a cracking job with the minute by minute as per usual, he's had a shocker naming Park the man of the half though. He's not switched on, has actually got into some dangerous positions but he's hesitating and letting the chances slip by. Better than that so come on lad
Tevezs overall play was good just his final ball was poor.
We should let them come at us, then hit them on the break. Sick of playing like Arsenal.
Wouldnt say Tevez has played well at all. But the more games he gets the more likely we'll see the real Apache.
Park needs to cut out the hesitation. He'd be a very good final third player if he just believed in what he was doing.

Rooney and Tevez have been too quiet. They are our strikeforce today and there has been very little danger from them. More chances in the second half can be created if we up the tempo and are more clinical in the final third. We must not let this rare opportunity slip past us.
