Blackburn v Manchester United

The more we loose games like this the more confident i am going to Unfilled tbh.
Like after the city game, no way we were going to loose to the scousers after that.
 
almost, almost a great comeback. In the end, the players might were too tired to get a 4th goal.

Poor defending but encouraged by our fightback.
I dont think we had one shot on goal after the 3rd goal.
There was no one on the center, either all were up or all were back defending.
No MidField literally

Evra had a soft one straight at Friedel.
 
The problem is the cenre of the midfield. We need central midfield players (Nicky Butt would do), even decent ones. Well, that's out of the window till Summer eh?
 
if Liverpool drew..thats only a point gained by them...no probs...also Chelsea drew???

of course some will be commiting suicide...and good ridance to them...

good comeback and hope SAF and the lads learned a harsh lesson today..

Interesting logic there Murt. I hope you are right mate, cos right now I feel totally the opposite to you.

We're gonna finish 3rd in the league, and the scouse cnuts will knock us out of the cup if we play like we did tonight again this season.
 
Our midfield is clearly our problem. Shame Scholes is injured!

But why the hell are we always so unlucky with injuries?
 
tonight, i also missed that focus and determination, probably the players felt we're gonna win it easy

I did not see it but from what I read this was a freak match...the lads will get it together...I feel confident we will be ahead of the scousers at the end of the season and we Will beat them at Anfield.

we obviously lack a proper midfield and add to that expreiments...well..
still we have some great players...just need to play as a team...with that one crucial signing in summer...back to the good ol days..

not performanicing drugs,was rio foul bad on savage
Do you speak a word of the Queens? i've noticed about 4 of your posts tonight and not one has made sense.
 
I feel much better that we came back to 4-3 from 4-1 - the players showed character and all the usual cliches...

To be fair, you can't give away 2 soft goals like we did and expect to win. I'm trying to take some positives from the fact that our heads didn't drop.

Thought Ronaldo had a good game. He looked sharp considering he hadn't played for a while.

Agree. Scoring 3 against Blackburn should be enough for a win - it only wasn't due to our charitable defense. Hopefully they got it all out of their system in this match.

It had nothing to do with the defence! Why some of you can't get this is beyond me.

Three elementary mistakes at the back though for the first three by the sounds of it, you've got to see that.

Doesnt get past the fact that the midfield is dire nevertheless.

Absolutely fecking astounded Ferguson used what little money he was given on two defenders. Even Gravesen would have been an alright option on the cheap, for feck sake!

I really love the bloke but he is bafflingly infuriating sometimes.

Apart from goals 2 and 3 you are exactly right...

How were they not gifts from the defense?

no one is saying it was all a defence feck up Weaste...of course the midfield is the problem...but that is not a fix that could be put in place...Keano types are not easy to find...confident SAF will get the right player this summer.

and for now...well no one could have anticipated Scholes problem.

Smith and Fletcher for the most have been better than average...Fletch still cannot run things on his own...yet.

but having said that I still feel we will be no worse than 3rd...probably 2nd.

Liverpoool have some tough matches to get through...and the games are coming on fast...Ok for all the teams at the top...but the lads will get it right...

the spirit is there...and Ruud Rooney...and Saha are better than any....

Nothing to do with the Defence?

Two goals were completely gifted by the Defence.

Rio (although playing in midfield) and Van Der Sar not communicating, and Brown needlesly sticking BOTH arms behind his back to catch the ball.

I thought we did show alot of character tonight after those mistakes. Rooney was a bit quiet but Saha was immense and full of confidence I thought.

Vidic looked a little wary at times but you could see the Premiership unpolished ability he has got.
 
well, what can you say about tonight...

i still cant help thinking we should have took a point if not all 3. Burn was shit, we didnt play great.

as dupes says, good character shown
 
That was one of the strangest football matches I've ever seen.

2-1 Rio and VDS messed up


As far as I'm concerned VDS didn't f up. If it was GK ball then Rio should have left it, otherwise he should haveheaded it 20 yards upfield. There is no excuse to blindly head it towards his own goal.
