Benfica vs Manchester United.

Bring on Fletchinho and Smith.

Wonder if we loan Fletcher to Tottenham, we might get 24m + addons for him?
 
I think we have come here to play for a draw.

That would be really gay.

True, whenever he runs forward, there is no one there to support him.

Spastics will say he doesn't pass enough, fact is that he doesn't have anyone to pass the ball to.

What we need is to take off Scholes of Carrick and put Fletcher on. Fletcher is far better at the hard stuff than any of our midfielders. O'Shea will constantly get found out for the idiot that he is in central midfield. But at least with Fletcher telling him what to do we stand a chance.

We need Fletcher guys... Take Carrick off, put Fletcher on the right. Put O'Shea next to him, and Scholes and Ronaldo on the left side. Play Rooney and Saha upfront.

Problem solved. Fletcher will stop anything coming down the right, pushing all their play down the left. Then we can simply counter attack with Ronnie/Saha and Rooney, because atm Saha simply can't get a pass.

We have to get Carrick or Scholes off as they can't put challenges in, which is allowing Benefica (the diving cnuts) to roll through us.

i'd rather put smith in and let the benfica players roll about on a real injury

Why is it in European ties, the pitch always seems about three miles wide, and our players the size of thimbles?

Can anyone answer this?

Carrick is failing miserably to justify his fee. Scholes is not hepling him. Rooney isn't bothering..only Ronaldo looks dangerous.
 
Then what the feck is a bad performance, I'd rather not think about it.
 
Rooney's facial hair is stylish. Or maybe it isn't.
 
Some weird dribbling from Saha and pass to an empty space.
 
:lol: that was class from Saha, you knew he was going to do exactly that about a minute before he finally did
 
2 wingbacks, 7 centre-backs and Ronaldo would be a suitable tactics for us. We need no midfield.
 
Why did Rooney dribble past two players only to find himself in the same place he was before dribbling?
 
Ronaldo needs to pass. Actually everyone needs to pass.
 
Ronaldo has been good so far. It's a natural reaction not to pass when you have ball and no one decent to pass it to.
 
Actually, given so much space Benfica should've done much better in the first half as well as at the beginning of the second.
