CFR Cluj v Manchester United

Good game from our boys so far I just think we need to be a bit faster switching to attack after we win the ball.

Evra and Rafael have to get a bit more involved in attack though, they are all the width we have in this system.

I really like that we put some early pressure at our opponents and don't just wait until they give us the ball like we normally do.
 
Not sure how good Chicarito is at games like these, having to play with his back to the goal.
He did pretty well in the league cup game against Newcastle.
Similar formation... did well on the ball.
 
This is exactly the game where we need wingers. They have 10 players around the box, there's no we are going to get many ball through it. Even barca struggle in these situations sometimes.

United have true '9's and have a Plan B. Barca simply have to hope Messi conjures up a miracle and/or someone dives for a penalty/gets an opponent sent off.
 
Why is RVP taking corners if he's decent in the air? Second goal with his head.

Don't think that was the best reflection of his heading ability, to be fair. :D

Good play again, that.
 
Annoyingly, this is one of the few games in which we actually should be playing Scholes.
 
Wait I thought the CAF said Hernandez' link up play was shit? feck sake who am I gonna crucify now!
 
That was actually really good defending from Rafael there. Protected the through ball perfectly.
 
Rooney really needs to try controlling the ball
 
Anderson's doing well but should be getting forward more. Not sure we need him and Fletcher holding.
 
We are controlling this.. People will still complain about the lack of tempo and goals/chances... but I think we've done well.
The defence isnt playing well.. 1 error and they scored.. But on the whole, we've controlled this and created a few good chances..

We'll step it up if we fail to break them down like this sometime in the second half..
 
I think we look good in midfield but it's hard to tell since Cluj have effectively surrendered midfield.
