Birmingham v Manchester United

[Drifter]

Brummies getting back into the game.

 

[Rado_N]

What the shitfeck is going on

 

[Commadus]

shit ref

 

[Raees]

This is a disjointed formation and Giggs/Gibson for Nani/Park = less energy and pace, not to mention its putting three of our most important players in the recent resurgence out of their comfort zones in unfamiliar positions i.e. Rooney on the left, Berbatov up top alone isolated and made to fight hard and Anderson pushed up when most of us prefer him to be deeper alongside Carrick having more of an impact in terms of possession and driving us forward.

Evra and Rafael need to deliver more searching balls and provide some telling width if we're going to bring the best out of our forwards tonight.

Anyway I think we're comfortable enough even with this formation to nick a goal. Birmingham are always tough opposition away from home and there are no guarantees that we would have been winning this game with an orthodox 4-4-2.. but we do look to be making it hard for ourselves.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

That's my point. Stupid from Anderson, not the referee, although it wasn't much so he could have let it go.

fair point I will retract my sending off. I made a mistake

 

[Rooney1987]

Funny how allot of these so called tough teams like Birmingham and Stoke go down so easy.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Cheating bastards...

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I dont get it. Why aren't we playing the normal 442??

 

[Hellboy]

Birmingham play like they are champions or smthg, game raising cnuts

 

[Garethw]

This was always going to be a tough away fixture.

 

[Spoony]

I don't mean to sound racist...but girls at football matches? Still an odd concept.

 

[Escobar]

I'd rather stick Gibson out to the right

 

[Marcosdeto]

any news about gibson?

someone should call the police, he has been missing for over 48 hours

 

[Sarni]

Is there any way we can go into 442 in this game without conceding a goal that will put us in a position where we need to chase?

 

[Commadus]

why we poor away from home.

 

[Makki]

Cheating bastards...

Stop that nonsense. It's only them foreigners that would do such things, so don't go accusing Gardner of diving like a fanny when not touched.

 

[jrsenior]

Please God, not another away draw........

 

[Hellboy]

We miss Park

 

[The White Pele]

Rafael you tenacious little fecker

 

[Rado_N]

Berbashove

 

[Sarni]

Birmingham play like they are champions or smthg, game raising cnuts

Yes, and they raise their game for pretty much any home game, which basically means that this is the level they are at, doesn't it?

 

[Garethw]

I dont get it. Why aren't we playing the normal 442??

No nani, Valencia or park.

 

[The_Midfielder]

Is Scholes on the bench?

 

[Marcosdeto]

Stop that nonsense. It's only them foreigners that would do such things, so don't go accusing Gardner of diving like a fanny when not touched.

Gardner real name is Gardnero

he's italian

 

[Brwned]

why we poor away from home.

Or, in other words, why are Birmingham so hard to beat at home?

And there's a host of explanations for that.

 

[Rado_N]

why we poor away from home.

Please God, not another away draw........

Look at the top left of your screen lads, you see that clock?

Be calm...

 

[RonaldoVII]

Since when?

It's been ages since we played in this formation and so narrow away from home. We'll play like this till either the 70th minute or till we go behind and then go 442 and look to play again.

 

[Rahul]

We miss Park

I thought exactly the same.

 

[Number7]

Unimpressed with Rooney tonight

 

[Drifter]

We miss Park

True.Nothing against Gibson

 

[Spoony]

We need to draw their full backs into the centre...and put pressure on the midfield. We could do this by running around a little bit more.

Spa-ctics.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

to be fair to Birmingham you can see why they have only lost 2 games at home in what 20+ games.
Dreadful to watch , but gets the results

 

[Makki]

Is there any way we can go into 442 in this game without conceding a goal that will put us in a position where we need to chase?

We need to take Gibson off pronto. He's doing an impression of Liam Miller that would make Miller proud.

 

[The_Midfielder]

Think we need to go to the flanks..

 

[VidaRed]

midfield cant keep possession

 

[Sarni]

Or, in other words, why are Birmingham so hard to beat at home?

And there's a host of explanations for that.

We've been poor so far.

 

[Shimo]

No nani, Valencia or park.

Put Rooney out wide and Berba behind Chicha then. Doesn't sound like Rooney is playing centrally anyway for this match.

 

[Stack]

It's been ages since we played in this formation and so narrow away from home. We'll play like this till either the 70th minute or till we go behind and then go 442 and look to play again.

What game are you watching??????

 

[Solius]

Birmingham play like they are champions or smthg, game raising cnuts

They're always good at St. Andrews. Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have all gone there and only one of them even managed a goal.

 

[Cold_Boy]

I'd rather stick Gibson out to the right

I'd rather stick Gibson in the dressing room.
