Manchester United vs. Sunderland

[pauldyson1uk]

that was a poor challenge from Evra

 

[Ruud10]

suppose if we win and keep Carrick and Cleverley fresh for the Christmas fixtures it's the right call. Just about.

Agreed. I'm not going to shit in my pants if we win the game, everyone comes out healthy and we got in some quality minutes for Vidic, Scholes and Giggs and allowed Carrick to get a few extra minutes of rest.

 

[#07]

Out of nowhere this game has started looking like the 4-4 against Everton: Completely open, totally stretched, we attack they attack and from a position of comfort we find ourselves frantically trying to hold on to our lead.

 

[Mystry]

Fletcher is on the bench. Why he didn't come on instead of Scholes or Giggs, I have no idea.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

We're 3-1 at home. It's a bit harsh criticism by some on here....

The assessment is based on how the game started...the first half was brilliant

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Passing let us down in the Second Half, just didn't keep the ball well enough, disappointed we didn't smash them 5-0.

 

[Ramshock]

No Hernandez again today? Seems a bit harsh on him.

 

[Chabon]

We're 3-1 at home. It's a bit harsh criticism by some on here....

The criticism isn't strong enough, this has been absolutely scandalous management by Sir Alex.

 

[Garethw]

I missed the first 5 minutes of the second half. Was Carrick injured, or has he just been rested?

 

[iAm20Legend]

Save the others for the Christmas games. We can survive with the old guys out there because we have 3 goals.

Hmm.. probably makes sense, but difficult to watch nonetheless

 

[pauldyson1uk]

first half excellent and from what I have seen in the second half, very poor, but we are the better team and will deservedly get the 3 points and thats what the record books will record a win with 3 points.

really??

 

[R.N7]

Smalling tekkers

"Scandalous management by Sir Alex"?

I've heard it all now. Unless, of course, there's white text I can't see.

 

[Jaz]

Valencia really has been terrible with his crossing and decision making.

 

[Chabon]

Yeah, it's exactly the same incredibly stupid decisions whilst in the lead which cost us the title last year.

 

[LR7]

No Hernandez again today? Seems a bit harsh on him.

His form couldn't have been better and he's struggling to even get minutes at the end

 

[Drifter]

Valencia had time,poor ball in.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

idiot, last I looked we was top of the PL by 6 points, his management has been doing just fine.

 

[TheBest]

Valencia really has been terrible with his crossing and decision making.

Been like that for a long time

 

[Maplered]

We look like we are going to score every time we go up the pitch

 

[iAm20Legend]

We can't keep the fecking ball for the last 40 sec

 

[Orton]

idiot, last I looked we was top of the PL by 6 points, his management has been doing just fine.

We could have conceded 5 goals this half. Sunderland have overrun us since the oldies have come on.

 

[Stobzilla]

Been like that for a long time

By long time I assume you mean this season, of which he has been injured his fair share of games ?

[ArmchairCritic]

Good win on the whole, disappointed we didn't maintain the intensity of the First Half.

 

[Ruud10]

For all you Fergie haters out there, this is exactly the kind of game you would put Giggs and Scholes on for.

A comfortable win in the bag = solid management.

 

[Garethw]

"Scandalous management by Sir Alex"?

I've heard it all now. Unless, of course, there's white text I can't see.

Scandalous is harsh, but it has been pretty naive from Fergie to think that Scholes and Giggs was an acceptable midfield two to pick this second half.

 

[Eugenius]

This game should've ended GD+4 at least not +2.

 

[Platato]

Good game from us. More work to do.

 

[Jaz]

A good game in the first half.

Job done and comfortably.

 

[Tonjo]

Alex Ferguson is at it again. Foolish tactics.
Playing 2 oldies who cannot defend in central mid-field is going to stretch and injure the defenders.
If United were winning 5-0, then it is ok.

 

[Drifter]

3 more points , and we march on.

 

[Mystry]

Good win but it should have been so much better. Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot in regards to playing weird midfields?

 

[TheBest]

By long time I assume you mean this season, of which he has been injured his fair share of games ?

I think half a season is long enough time? He has played plenty of games.

 

[Red Dreams]

this is what makes me mad.

making a meal of it. They should have been destroyed.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

We could have conceded 5 goals this half. Sunderland have overrun us since the oldies have come on.

the word being COULD , we COULD of scored 5 or 6 in the first half.

 

[Garethw]

Valencia really has been terrible with his crossing and decision making.

He was fecking abysmal. It was a good job that our other attackers played so well.

 

[Leg-End]

3 points, could do without ever seeing that midfield selection for the last 15 minutes again.

 

[ha_rooney]

Good win, but we should've scored more goals. Some of the passing and movement in the first half was exceptional. The second half was poor, the substitutions didn't help.

Carrick-Cleverley were very good. DDG put in another confident performance. Jones did well filling in for Rafael at RB.
