Yeah, I don't know how it happens, but every team that comes to Basel starts playing shit.

Might be the fact that Basel's players make you play that way...

Isn't the generally the case when one team is leading the other?

No, even if we were ahead, we are playing shite!

We'll fcuking have them in the second half though

Maybe so,

I bet you didn't think you would be one down at half time either.
 
Not as many players seem up for this match as they did against Newcastle, in particular Giggs and Ole, though I suppose Silvestre has been quiet too. We've had no width at all. The players are cropping up all over the place and don't seem to know or feel comfortable with their formation at all.

Actually it was Murt that made the argument that 4-4-2 lost 9 matches, and I counter argued, and proved, that it didn't.
 
Fergusson should have kept the winning team, and Veron on the feck*n bench. If I was a player, I wouldn't want to play knowing no matter what I do, I'm going to be dropped the next game, or change my position or some other sh**e. This was perfect excuse for him to drop Veron without admiting that he was wrong to buy him.

That said, we'll win 3:2 in the end :cool:
 
Who's going to grab this game by the scuff of the neck and get a result from it? Nobody looks like doing so far. Great captain's performance by Giggs. :rolleyes: Scholes looks as though he's intent on replaying his role against Sweden at Wembley a few years back. Diving in everywhere.

Come on!!!

With O'Shea at left back, we need Giggs huging the touchline more than EVER now because we don't have Silvestre's runs to compensate.

Get em going Fergie!!

What 'gear' would you say we were in? I'd say 2nd struggling for 3rd. Just not clicking.
 
quite funny, but currently the joke is on you... a great football night for basel and a great honour for us to be playing vs manchester.. only sorry we don't get to see the real manchester - currently in everybody's opinion the most powerful club in europe, even the world. looking forward to the next 45 minutes and still have tears in my eyes that I couldn't get my hands on two tickets - just one, so I sent my boyfriend. let's enjoy - but I guess we win *sorry*.
miska, basel

Agree with Giggzy that we miss Blanc defending AND attacking corners/free kicks. We're not winning much in the air.

Deja Vu! :rolleyes:

I should be jumping for joy (and I will in the Football Forum later if this turns out to be a good result for Pool fans), but right now for some reason I can empathise (and even sympathise) with the Utd fans. :eek:

O'Shea at left back and Mickey in the middle is just crazy. How to create confusion in one simple step. Is Giggs vice-captain again? Doesn't look like he wants to be.

don't think we've been that bad, neil..


infact we controlled the game for a good period..

they aren't that good defensively, alto they look very good going forward.. hakan yakin is getting far too much space at times...

gear? 2-3.. prodding away, i suppose..


ole's been a bit quiet.

Giggs has the captain's armband, doesn't he?
 
They are packing there defence and asking us to break it down - which we've shown for a long time now we are not very good at. We need to sit bakc let them come on to us, hustle them and hit them on the break - like we used to. They are playing the game perfectly at the moment I think. We are not.
 
Dans is right.


They break like a fecking train at times...
 
barthez needs to be more alert coming out to collect balls being passed through. That's twice he should have come and left it to the defenders. It cost us a corner there.

Makes up for it with a save though!!

Ruud tried breaking once, and was brought down, but it was one against two. I don't think you can play the counter attack properly with 4-5-1.
