Manchester United vs. Benfica

Denis Law & Gordon Strachan's lovechild.
 
It's important we don't repeat our mistakes against City when we went behind.
 
We should concentrate on the league. Not good enough this season to compete on all fronts.

Yes we are. You're implying it'd benefit us not to progress? Stop talking nonsense, we've lost once all season in the PL. injuries have crippled us and our consistency. Take our early season form if you really think we will be embarrassed in the final 16
 
So the plan is basically, get the ball to Nani.
 
Madrid are having fun. Could do with them sharing a couple of goals with us.
 
I think Fletcher may be done lads.

He looks pedestrian now.

The AIDS took his life force.
 
Deadly. Saves the humiliation later on in the competition. We look all over the place

You do realise that going out of the CL means going into EL, since Oteul will finish last, right? Yeah, that's not humiliating at all. Never mind the fact that we'd actually be knocked out in the fecking group stage.
 
So what's our formation?

Seems to be a 4231 with Young central and Nani and Valencia out wide.

Young and Berbatov need to get in the game more.
 
Tbh would like to see Giggs in the second half .

He is our most creative player.

Yeah, I actually agree. Giggs with Carrick is probably the best option.

Valencia is having another shocker, I'd move Nani right, Young left and Hernandez for Valencia, Giggs for Fletcher in the second half.
 
Imagine when Vidic retires.......shivers. We'll have a contingency plan for that one but it's not like you find a defender and that mould and quality down the back of the sofa.

No we're not. We have left our best striker (who I may add has been used as a CM of late) out of the game and put Berbatov up front who in 20mins hasn't had a touch and if he get's one chance I wouldn't imagine him to put it away.

Our midfield tonight consists of 3 players who are savagely off form. The most spritely player so far is Nani and he is fecking up 5 yard passes. Going out of the CL really isn't the worst thing in the world. Bayern, Madrid, Barca. They are the teams that would humiliate us.

Say what you will, just my opinion.
