Manchester United vs. Sporting Lisbon

It's important we win this game, otherwise the Roma game won't be a dead rubber(love that term)
 
Too right, centre backs aside the entire team have been guilty of giving the ball away cheaply.

On the plus side O'Shea made me laugh when he tried to beat his man and ended up back heeling the ball of the pitch.

:lol::lol:
That was funny.
 
Gotta be one of the worst performances I've seen from any United side so far.

Literally every touch of the ball Nani's had has been a disaster...get him off, for anyone
 
Dead Rubber duck

poor, very poor. Everyone is just fannying about. I think we miss a Keano like leader who would tell all of them to wake the feck up.

hope Fergie sticks the boot into them.

If we lose this then we might as well give up on top spot and send the reserves to Rome. There's no way we can send our strongest team with the Liverpool game days later. And if we don't send our strongest team there's no way we can beat Roma in Rome.
 
I hate it when we play like we can win a game if we please, we usually end up losing.
 
scholes and rooney cant come back sooner enough.

Just shows the Anderson = Zidane is still maybe a little early. Even if he's far from the reason we're not scoring.. Ronaldo needs to stop trying to win the game all on his own. Nani.. i'm far from impressed by this kid yet

lol...not a mention of scholes a while back. couple of results now its scholes and rooney or we are shit??

Please. we've been poor today because mentally we came out complacent and to put a show on. You only need to look at the way ronaldo is looking for a trick every time rather than playing.

Fergie will get a better performance after half time. whether its enough who knows, always hard to lift when you start so poorly.

But my take home message is dry your eyes mate, the team out there is more than good enough to beat sporting we just havent prepared properly. too many out there thought it was won. its obvious.

calm down..its only a commercial
 
With this game, I'm trying to persuade my sister to become a United fan. Almost there.

yes, just like the team against bolton was good enough to beat them.
 
We can't play worse in the second, I think I'll take solace in that.
 
come on...we look as though we are not urgent. I bet you, when Fergie does the afters...no matter what the score he will say: well, when you qualify an edge is taken out of your game, there is no doubt about that, I can't fault the players and I'm sure they learn from this :-)
 
:eek:

Fergie in making the same substitutions as most of the cafe wanted shocker!!!

:eek:
 
Good subs by Fergie, great decisive management.
