We had a counter attack and Scholes couldn't play a simple pass.

8 United players just trotting out as Ronaldo picks up the ball. Where the feck is he supposed to go.

Regardless of whether he is isolated his first touch is very poor
Its all too slow and we are only passing it before ahlf way
fecking Play
Rooney should be playing in the middle!!!Wtf is this rooney on the left!!
I take it back. The passing is astonishingly poor.

He is the only one playing tonight
You know they are diving alot when Ronnie is telling em to quit 
Our passing is.. I can't even find words to describe it.
HT:SAF really needs to change his tactics.If indeed we had any.
Wow, that was absolutely dreadful. Last season all over again.
Half -time and we have played the worst football of the season so far.
so instead of improving we ..............

I expect we'll nick a goal and hold on against all odds, agonizing stuff
We're turning into England
Play your best players in stupid rolls
Set up the team so no one knows what they're doing
Players trying stupid impossible things instead of just keeping the ball
Collapse onto the edge of your own area when it starts not working

4-4 fecking 2. Please Fergie
Thank God, that's over...
It can only get better.

The whole team has been awful so far. What the feck is this?
I told you lot we were awful, you needed 45 minutes to notice that. We've been awful since the first minute.
The good news is we lasted 45 minutes without conceeding... thats good news lads!
Half time... we are definetly playing the wrong formation.... !!
Im almost glad I can't watch the game because they put the Celtic game on up here, by the sounds of it the team seem totally unprepared for the match, as they often are these days.

that's a foolish thing to say.
This is all about tactics, not players. My biggest gripe with Fergie is that he simply won't accept he has got it wrong and change things until its too late.
Its half time at the Bernabeu
Real Madrid 3 and Kiev 0
Ruud, Reyes and Raul scoring.

I can't believe we've been so poor. I expected us to struggle, but I would've never guessed we would go 45 minutes without passing the ball more than thrice without losing it.
And how many more of these games is it going to take before commentators will realise that Benfica are a decent side?
They were obviously going to have more of the ball, the dissapointing thing is our shite usage of it

It was a good cross from Diarra for Reyes to score.

Norwich away, circa 1989, a 2-0 away defeat was truly awful. Our only shot was a wayward Michael Phelan long ranger.
we cant seem to keep the ball for more than 5 seconds. no one is up there to support saha, rooney's touch is shit, and for some reason scholes is playing in the holding role!!
FFS! 
How did Benfica not take the lead with all that domination?
Scholes off, Smith on. Someone who can hold up play would be welcome.

Incredibly poor display the first half. Can't string passes together. No creativity out there.
What a match, dive after dive from Benfica, terrible pass after terrible pass from United.

I think he just picks a team, makes sure there is a defender in midfield, and sends them out
