Shit refereeing
Definite late tackle from Shawcross

Scholes showing his age at times.
Well done Rafa, great composure there.
Scholes off, Anderson on in the 2nd half please.
Rooney and RVP scoring! Oh yes
Scholes off, Anderson on. Please. Or else we'll finish with 10 men.
Welbeck off, Nani on.
Welbeck off, Nani on.
great defending at the end by rafael
As much as I love scholes, him being on a yellow make me very nervous..
Please calm down in the second half.. Let others do the dirty work.

RVP's been excellent, we've improved since conceding.
Can't give away any more stupid free-kicks and Scholes should stop tackling or, more likely, needs to be substituted before he is sent off.

"Dominated by Stoke City"
Second half of that first half was much much better, need to keep that up (or even do better) throughout the second half.
Great play Raf
Anderson on for him. No point in risking cleverley against this lot.
We weren't all that convincing at the set piece at the end there.
Danny and RVP good. Rest have been average.
Milner has been sent off
Charlie Adam run the show for the first 25 mins.
This is exactly the sort of game Cleverley would get injured in.
Not really.
We have played really well after 20 mins. Plenty of chances and 2 goals
RVP is the player with the most beautiful finishing moves.The way he strikes the ball is artistry
Very much like the Fulham game. We play well in patches and then let Stoke take the initiative.
I don't know what formation should we play so the defense get it sorted out...
if Cleverly is on the bench, he really should come on for Scholes.
We look fantastic going forward, but they are bullying our defence.

Our full backs have looked good
I reckon Milner will get sent off today.
Giggs and Scholes should be impact subs. Not starters.
Cheers for the tip, I'll stick a bet on.
Can people stop talking about whether to put Cleverley on or not? He's not on the fecking bench!
Milner has been invisible in the Citys match so far.
Good shout, he just got sent off!
I think Welbeck has been below par (as he has been most of this season,) but I think he should stay to give him confidence. Scholes has to come off. I'd even bring Giggs on for him now. He's in one of his prickly/retarded moods, one which inevitably leads to a sending off. He's been ok on the ball, but not dangerous enough to offset the danger when he is off it. I'd get Anderson on there, and if not him, then Giggs.
Who did?
SAF will be over Scholesy at half time. If he gets us down to 10 and we end up losing points....I'm scared for Paul
Not to mention that he gave away the FK that led to their first with another rash one.
Evra has practically had to play left back and left wing, with nobody else out there. I don't really know where Welbeck is meant to be playing because very rarely I saw him out left, pretty much all over the place. Evra's done a good job though, Rafael also done well. Scholes is an idiot, he should be off really. Hope Fergie brings him off, I'm sick of hearing "it's just a Scholes challenge" because it's going to cost us today.
After a sluggish start I thought it was pretty good from us, bit uncertain in defence but really we've been unfortunate with some of our attacks. Have to say Welbeck has impressed on the left and he's linking up well with RVP who's been great.
Scholes has played really well but he could have gone at the end there, I'd hope Fergie brings on Ando as I don't think we need to take the risk of going down to ten. Valencia did well to create the RVP goal but in general I think he could do more. He doesn't seem that confident atm and isn't running at his man and he's not looking to try and whip a cross in, if he can't drill it he passes it back and I think it's slowing our momentum at times.
