FA Cup: Man Utd v Exeter City 8/1/05

Well, I still remember the loss in the 95/96 season against York City. We haven't won yet, this is FA cup, anything can happen, but sure, Man Utd with almost even odds...
 
this pique lad seems to progress and improve very fast. what a prospect. but i would have loved to see rossi in the team! dont know why he's excluded.

I agree. Poor side.

I like the back four, but the midfield and attack is dreadful. A 5 man midfield of utter dross with bellend spearheading the attack.. truly shocking.

Djemba and Richardson are deadwood.
Eagles I am not convinced at all that he will make it.
Jones and especially Miller still have so much to prove.
Bellend - enough said.

Why is Rossi not being given a chance upfront.. or Blake? Fergie can be frustrating at times. To me he looks to be parading a midfield and attack for potential buyers, as these lot have no hope of making it.

Why not use this opportunity to blood some proper potential and mix in a bit of experience, like he is doing witht he back four ??
 
agree, why 4-5-1, when we could have lined a 4-4-2 with rossi or blake and bellion playing up front. We're after all playing home at OT i think, against a conference team.

Make up your mind FFS.One minute our under 15 could beat exeter then we're shit. :confused:
 
I'll take a risk and say none of you (ones who are calling for Rossi or Blake to play instead of Bellion) have never seen Rossi or Blake play for more than 15 minutes, yet you call for them to play ahead of Bellion who may not be the next Pele, but has scored some goals for us and IS getting better.

:rolleyes:
 
Oldham score from a corner kick but the ref calls it off because of a foul on James!
 
anyone got any radio links or better yet a stream? Am dying to see Jones in action.

I agree on that we are at home ,why can't we play 2 strikers against a non-league team, am sure rossi is better than the strikers they have anyway!!.

Would of been nice to give Fletcher some more games under his belt!
 
Notts County 1 Boro 0

1507: Scunthopre are beating Chelsea! Paul Hayes took his chance well before firing The Iron into an incredible lead at Stamford Bridge

Any team will beat them yes, but what I would like to see is the opportunity for players with proper potential to show us what they can do... Not Djemba, Bellend or Richardson, as they will not make it at united.
