Man Utd vs Dinamo Bucurest (wed)

i am... i don't think Roy Keane can play that defensive midfield role anymore...

how desperate are we that we have to put O'Shea in DM??
 
At least Heinze scored, unfortunately for Argentina not United where he should be playing :(
 
Could someone describe exactly what happened on their goal.

I didn't get much of an impression simply listening to the radio.
 
one of their player dribbled down the left, shot from a small angle, bounced off Howard, bounced off one of their players into Fortune's legs, then crossed over the line in some struggle by Fortune to clear the ball... hope that made sense...

just a bit of pinball in the 5yd box, unfortunately it hit quinton's legs, he tried to clear it but it went in.

Should Howard have caught the initial shot?

you know i'm never one to point a finger at anyone (except for SAF that one time a couple of years ago), but I do honestly think Keane isn't up to the task of being in DM.

SAF clearly realizes this and that's why Keane's in defence and O'Shea in DM today. Why do you think this is the formation today then?

Are we simply trying out a new formation you think?

Are we atleast taking the game to them now ? are we taking the game anywhere ?
nearly a pen.. roy nearly took their forward down in the box.

yes, we are taking the game to them, but we're losing the ball to easily and they're hitting us on the counter. We're not holding into theat CM pos good enough, then they're spanking out CHs. Fingers crossed it will only be a matter of time before we see a goal.

dunno which end though :nervous:
 
Murt, I think the day of fooling ourselves that Ole is perfect on the RW and Keane is the still THE MAN in midfield should have been over sometime ago.. wouldn't you agree?
 
We're missing ruud. we need someone infront of smithy. he's not getting the service and tends to drop too deep to pick the ball up.
 
Not a great performance by the sound of things. Troubling that the defence seems sloppy with many of the players lacking match practice. Important we keep it to 1-0 at HT - still plenty of time to turn it arond in the second half.

A fit Ole would be great on the right side of midfield.
Keane is still good enough to be our captain.

End of.
 
can't wait to see Liam Miller in action. He's on the bench today. I hope he can fill in the big shoes. We need more big game players right about... now.
 
Is anyone for United taking any shots? Seems (from the commentary on Soccernet) that it's offside, offside, O'shea surprised that Scholes passed back ...

agreed. if we can try keep it to one and go for the away goal. We should manage that as long as we concentrate ''' GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
