I have that feeling that this might be our CL line up
Aye, it's been ou formation for most of the season. Maddening that!

The stupid thing is that there is far more of a reason to play 4-5-1 against Arsenal than there is at home to City.
Still, 4-5-1 at Arsenal would be very bad. We can't match them in a 4-5-1 but can dominate with a 4-4-2.
Giggs was no where near his best.
Well i think weve just wasted 45 mins there, again created very little by way of chances again Rooney looking isolated and feeding from scraps, happens everytime we play this system and yet we persist with it......Scholes off Berbatov on 4-4-2 please....
Berbatov's bound to come on soon. I'd gamble with Valencia as well if it continues like this.
Fergie needs to grow some balls.. what the feck was that? Wasted 45 minutes going through the motion.
sack fergie, sell giggs
Difference is that one goal for us means extra time and not us going through.
we have no pace. They lool waay faster especially on the counter.
Giggs is better as a sub.
Owen or Berbatov please.
God I love Van Der Sar.

Were fecking shit scared of em and it shows.....the first game was a classic because city went for it.............if we go out we go out but for feck sake lets go down fighting.......come on fergie lets get at em
Our lot were outsung by the City fans for large portions of that first half.
You can understand it in a way. If you start with an attacking lineup only to find out the opposition is killing you, what do you do? Replace a striker with a midfielder, when you already need to score? If you don't take too many risks and don't score you can still take it up a notch or two.
But I remember days when all of it didn't matter. We'd just for it.
I don't call 4-4-2 domination, but we take more risks and we usually get the right results with it. 4-5-1 is a more cautious play.
The players are playing well.
Fergie is insanse using this system.

I don't think Giggs has beaten his man, got a cross past the first man or generally done much apart from that shot 5 minutes before half time.
erm you have missed HOOF, HOOF, HOOF AND HOOF
I like the midfield. If any changes are needed, Giggs should be the one off. Valencia can come in. Or to change the formation, Scholes off, Berba or Owen in.
Scholes has been brilliant. IMO it is Fletcher that needs to be brought off. Perhaps even Carrick/Fletcher - Bring on Berbatov and Valencia pushing Giggs inside and Nani left.
Once again lack of threat on set pieces is biting us - should have had least a couple threats on goal from the corners and free kicks.

If Fergie plays 4-5-1 v milan, I'll scream.
whose got the one goal advantage here?
surely not us, looking at the way we are playing.

I said we *can* dominate, which we could.
Berbatov and Valencia on please. Let's play a proper 4-4-2 and twat these bastards, no more of this 4-5-1 shite. Can't believe we didn't trouble them even once!
I think Scholes has been good and it should probably be Giggs who makes way, but then we would push Fletcher to the right and Nani on the left so maybe Scholes will make way
is the atmosphere as shit as it seems to be on the telly?
Nani and Scholes have been sexually good. Giggs, not so much so far.
What the feck are we hoofing it for with Rooney up there on his own? Carrick is the worst offender but distribution from defence has been shit.
Our best, and only decent attack was when we PLAYED IT ALONG THE feckING GROUND.
ffs frustratingly predictable.

Rafael needs to be careful. Nearly cost us dear on a couple of occassions
I really don't think Fergie rates either Berba or Owen. I just cannot for the life of me think of any other explanation for playing Rooney up top alone in a home match in which we have to score goals or get knocked out. I could understand it if we were 3 or 4 goals up from the first leg, but when we're losing? Strange.
you might as well start screaming now.
I would rather if we go out ,go out fighting not like this with a wimper.
But there is still time yet and I know we can do this , we only need one goal to win on away goals.

Cant believe how scared we look. We're not pushing forward and Rooney is coming deeper and deeper.
451, SAF still not learning. Fletch - effort! Scholes, long passing. Rooney. That's all that has happened, go back to sleep until the 60th minute and then turn the tv on when some subs are made.
What does Rooney have to do to get respect from Fergie, no wonder he likes Capello more.
how is that not a foul you bastard ref
Because H. Webb picks his camera-time wisely and in proper dollops so as not to overwhelm the swooning fan-base that he believes he is sure to have.
Go feck a park bench Terry
cant lose against the scum though!
Oh, that part I understand, but I have gradually seen SAF becoming overly cautious and taking less risks as he ages.
Now it seems the players wait till the last 8 mins or so and then start to blitz the opposition when we need a results
Hoping Rooney gets on the end of them.The defence can deal with that all day long
