Manchester United vs. Newcastle United

This is simply appalling. Time enough to change it around of course, but there's no question having an utterly dreadful team selection like today puts us under unnecessary pressure. What was Fergie thinking?

You seem surprised that we are behind after 4 minutes with this lineup?

He doesn't realise that Scholes and Giggs cannot be starting matches anymore, and starting them together, well.....
 
Fergie making the team selction mistakes we expected from other managers.
 
From what I have seen so far though Newcastle look really average. We should step things up as soon as possible.
 
Its becoming an anchor on our necks that we want to go wide all the time
 
Yeah, lets blame Giggs and Scholes for something which Carrick and De Gea have to take the blame for.

As I said it wasn't their fault but playing them together from the start in any game is asking for a bad performance pretty much. Obviously Carrick/de gea/ Hernandez were at fault for the goal but when you play two players who are close to 40 and Valencia who hasn't had a good game since April, you cant expect a good performance.

I'm surprised because we've seen it several times this season, but it's a kick in the teeth every time. This time it was sort of a feck up by De Gea though.
 
A bottom table Serie A team got more urgency than the current United team
 
Krul's already playing for the final whistle.
 
Just started watching, why is Rooney not in the squad at all? I know he was shit against Swansea but should still be on the bench
 
What happens to us over Xmas these days? Used to be a really strong part of the year for us but I can remember some really stupid results at Xmas time over the past few years and its shaping up that way today too...
 
Looked at Giggs, trying to run into all the safe areas, dare not even tackle, never go for 50-50 ball, probably scared of hurting himself. What a disappointment!
 
I can't believe 20 minutes of this game have gone already. We've done next to nothing so far.
