Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace

Why is Diouf playing up front while Macheda is on the wing?

Diouf is terrible at holding the ball up and always ends up running back 20 yards just to keep the ball, while Macheda is really slow.
 
Palace have been fairly the better team.

Defence pretty poor with the back passes.
 
I don't think I'm "more of a red" than anyone. I haven't been to a game in friggin ages, which is why I never complain if Old Trafford is empty or "has a shite atmosphere" because I haven't made enough of an effort myself.

And it wasn't directed at you or R Nick so chill your boots :)
What's the point of your comment anyway then!
 
1st Senior start for Macheda and Gibbo and people think they should automatically be amazing to justify their start? The fact they are a rusty is exactly why SAF has started them - they need game time.
 
This is painful to watch. Who else called that it would be like this before kick off?
 
you have a point there , but a month before Christmas and just a CC Cup game , not a shock that the ground is half full.

True. I'm not one to complain about the travelling fans in any form. Just a shame it wasn't at Palace, and just a shame the game wasn't yesterday. Half of Old Trafford didn't want to watch this game, but the FA/FL/PL decided that it demanded more attention than Arsenal-City or Chelsea-Pool.

This is the type of crap that United get hated for. Small small time from those in charge.

It's actually to be very expected. Patched up team, players who haven't played and players who aren't used to playing together. Against 'hyped up Cup Final mode' opposition. Game is going accordingly. Oh and no exciting youngsters.
 
As quick as a cannon.
As manoeuvrable as a cannon.
Built like a cannon.
As pretty as a cannon.
As useful as a cannon.
The same weight as a cannon.
Place him 40 or so yards from target and fire predictably, just like a cannon.

Why are they keep replaying the challenge by fabio outside of the box? Not like it was a penalty or anything.
 
Im sure we never used to be like this.

I'd kill for a centre midfield.

I think I might watch something else.
 
You did mean it, you're a racist.

D'you know what it's like? It's like what Real Madrid fans must have been thinking when Julien Faubert went there. "What is this persona actually doing here? and what's the point of him?"

'cept Faubert was there for half a season on loan and played two games. Diouf's been here for 2 years!

I think games like this are a good time fir good old fashioned Pay at the gates.
Would let some people who dont normally go to see a game also reduce the price.
