Manchester United vs. Sporting Lisbon

Well I say sporting can feck off, they should give up after hearing the Roma score and let us walk all over them in the 2nd half.
 
bring tevez on...he plays with passion cant say the same for saha
 
I`m not sure what the bench is but if possible, change to 442. Put on Giggs for Nani and Tevez for Fletcher. Fletch hasn`t been specially poor but we need two strikers on for the second half. Nani is having an off day, but he is young and these guys know him well. Sporting have been playing out of their skin, they can`t hold that pressure for 45 more minutes.
 
I would swap Fletcher with Tevez and have 2 up front with Carrick and Anderson in midfield
 
Well here's my indepth and revealing analysis of that first half performance.





Bollox, shite, arse and downright cnuting feck.

Sounds bang on to me lad.

I would do that at half time and then Giggs for Nani at 60 minutes.

Agreed. I haven't been impressed with Nani so far in this game, seems to be making the wrong decision too many times.
 
We've been playing like shit. No shape, piss-poor passing, woeful crossing and a keeper error.
 
HT

Defense doing well.

Ronaldo lively.Nani wayward as always.Anderson and Fletcher haven't been involved much.Carrick has been but has been awful.Can't see us winning unless we make changes.The ones on field are hardly bothered.
 
Poor display.... Can somebody tell Anderson that he has the talent to run at defenders instead of just playing first time passes.

His passes are like the only thing coming off for the team except for Ronaldo. So I can't criticise him, he's doing the right thing.
 
I'd like to see Ronaldo put in some more first time crosses and stop fecking about for a bit, as we saw at the end of the half it could lead to some chances.
 
Does anyone really care if we win this game?

The players obviously don't care too much. I guess if we really really needed to win then you would have a stronger starting line-up and everyone would be more up for it.

You can bet we're destined to play Milan or Lyon or somebody like that in the next round if we come runners-up in the group. Footballs like that. If you don't work hard enough then it'll bite you in the ass.

Agreed, he needs to get more involved and provide a driving force in midfield. We lack urgency and Saha is too isolated.

Thats what I've been saying, its as if he's not confident enough to run with the ball.

His passing is quality, but you feel sometimes he could easily use his pace a create a decent chance or even go for goal
 
Not our best 45 minutes
Lucky its not 2-0
Hairdryer at half time
I still think we will win 3 - 1
