we're currently a team in search of a formula according to Bill O'Herlihy on RTE

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
When he moves with the ball, great. Too many times he's stood with the ball at his feet and given away possession. Don't quite understand it.
I think the main problem with both those pairings at the moment is Rooney.
He's just not on the top form this season.
Rooney OUT Tevez IN
I agree with one point of you. Our tempo is really DAMN slow, dont know why.
Ok,We are playing like the best team ever.Our passing is better than I have ever seen.We should have been 10-0 up but only for the stupid ref and linesman who have ruled out every single goal just for fun.
Because no one is running without the ball. Scholes isnt even running WITH the ball.
First half was as I figured it would be. It was never going to be a 7-1 thrashing again. We've yet to kick it into high gear. We're using the width this game, something we haven't been doing much of this season.
it's like watching united with veron but with a better defence.
i dont think i am watching the same game as many others on here...
we are in fine control against a very tight determined roma..
are people upset because we are not wasting them 7-1 again..
we have had a few good chances and we look as though we could get a result if we persist.
i personally dont think giggs is the answer in this game, but i think hargreves for scholes and fergie should tell carrick to shoot more..
maybe tevez for saha at 60mins

They all look afraid of taking a chance. Show some urgency for fecks sake!
Not bad otherwise

Dunphy on RTE - Nani isn't going to be a player, contribution nothing, the contrast in quality between Utd's youngsters and Arsenals is huge - there's no contest.
It's the same problem with England too.
The word inconsistent was made for Nani tonight, flashes of utter brilliance and a great end product mixed in with constantly having the ball nicked away from him and giving it away
Easy to say now but this game was made for Tevez, Saha should of been kept on the bench

Scholes needs to be subbed. He's been non existant.
Get all our forwards to RUN, and we may actually start getting somewhere, otherwise we're doomed for another drab second half performance of jogging :S
It's strange.
Me and some others seem to think we are doing alright, others seem to think otherwise and reckon we've been poor.
First half's had mixed opinions.

I was joking, doesn't matter.
So you don't agree we've been pretty awful throughout the first half?
I think we've played well we just need to up the pace
We need some more tough player in there..
Tevez needs to come on for Rooney or Saha.
And Scholes needs to start playing.
I think we will do well then.

substitute the word "nani" for "ronaldo" and you have every comment he made about united matches last season.
It we make that work that formula and we'll be sorted
Fergie says we need to take more risks
I concur

where's the officials ?
feck it, who needs a ref ?

He's been playing very deep all game.
Thats what Im saying we aint playing bad, but we just seem to not run enough. Nani and Ronnie have run their legs off but what about scholes? His passes arent bad, but I think he can do more. He often had space but never used it and played long-range-passes.
2nd half kicked off!
No Scholes taking a shot at Rio's head at the end of the half.
That's more like it!
Does Scholes just not have the legs now days to run his ass off for 90 minutes? I think it's SAF's decision to have him stay deeper that's affecting his game.
Not really.
Every time Rooney or Saha goes down, my heart begins to beat very quickly indeed.
Ah, that was quite funny.
People seem to forget that Roma are a good team, and the fact that most of the time they play 4-6-0, it means that Scholes and Carrick had to work very hard in the first half. We started at pedestrian pace but we were picking up the tempo towards the end of the half. Nani's been good while Saha is starting to get into the game. I reckon we'll snatch this by a goal.
How did he miss!!!!!!!!!!
