Well this is fun isn't it.....:(

Granted they're being negative and are peroforming to a game plan, but where is our attacking threat??

I think we left it behind in Manchester, in 2003.

We ahve to make changes at HT, push Rooney forward nearer Ruud, bring on Park.

For all the negativity they have had four or five meaningful shots - we have had one which ronny fecked up and one miles over by KR - they have created much more than us

these so called "wake up calls" arent working,we need something that will truly make them understand,like a wake up baseball bat for fletcher.

Give it richardson instead, he isn't even arsed.
For me fletcher has done ok this half, picking up the ball and moving it around, put in a good cross but still a bit lightweight in being able to force a player off the ball, even if he did the ref'd blow up anyway
 
they are closing down well - we are not - the system isn't giving us an easy OUT ball so we are conceding posetion. OK mostly forced errors unlike last week but still I dont think I have seen 4 passes strung yet
 
...i read uefa.com chat
some posterts really funny
"hierry henry i mean look at Man Utd the hardley have any good player they need a new defence Man Utd i think Man Utd will need to by some 1 like terry and maldini" :lol:
 
If there is no change at half time in some form, we need major changes. We are absolutely terrible at the moment.
Who decides how we play? from who do these stupid tactics come from? we have no ideas no fight and could not pass to save our lives.

Absolutely right, iw ould't disagree with any of that.

And that's the worse thing, normally when a team employs a game plan like this, it should be the other way around.

Don't you think that Ronaldo has stopped progressing or is it just me.

I more often than not depressed when watching him play.

our entire team resembles a kindergarden team while playing...
take a look at the stuff thats going on outside the pitch for ronaldo,he has lost his father and he`s involved in rape allogations,thats more than enough to unsettle a player for quite some time.furthermore,in his two seasons at old trafford, he has always been a bit poor in the first months of a season,then to pick up the pace after christmas.

i doubt he has stopped progressing.

It's the perm.
 
our strikers & goalie are fine heinze, nev, ferdi would be ok is surrounded by other quality players. But we need someone like vincente and joaquin, ronaldo fecks around too bloody much. And we need a gattuso in the middle of the park.

If only we had the right tactics we would be able to pass and fight better.
:wenger:
 
How many under 23 players did United field in the most important department i.e. the midfield?

Fletcher, Richardson, Rooney, Ronaldo.

And their inexperience has shown - too soft on & off the ball, panicky & stray passes, poor positional play & trying too hard & being unrealistic when in possession, trying to beat players rather than passing.

You could probably get a game then.
