Manchester United vs. Swansea City

Scholesey you legend, I just realized that this may be his last game at old trafford :(

Too much criticism in here - at the end of the day, City have 'invested' around a billion pounds in order win a MASSIVE...£16m in League-winning prize money; and we're going to criticise SAF & United for not being able to compete with that? Pfft...
It doesn't matter. We squandered an 8 point lead with a relatively easy run in.

I agree completely. If not for City and their billion pound version of the New York Cosmos we'd be crushing the rest of the league and there'd be nothing but talk of greatness.
 
I know it is the United way, but unfortunately it is starting to look dated as you say. Barca's creativity comes through the middle. If someone snuffs out Young, Nani or Valencia we seem to produce nothing from elsewhere.

Barca's creativity comes from everywhere. If they can't work it through the middle they have excellent wing backs overlapping down the flanks.

Like you say, it is the United way but when something better comes along does that mean that we should stick to our guns. Forget going forward, I feel that our system has left us vulnerable at the back this year. Is that the personnel in the middle of the park or the system?

No we criticize for throwing away a 8 point lead with 6 games to go. We criticize for not getting a shot on target against Wigan, for wasting a 4-2 lead against Everton with less than 10 minutes to go, and for playing like complete and utter bitches against City knowing that a result was paramount.

Money doesn't matter in any of those cases.
 
Jones at CB, Smalling at RB maybe?
 
If Valencia can beat his man, we can score, if he can't, we can't.

Ok, this might be a bit of a simplification but it's not far from the truth.
 
Good call. Even before Scholes scored that was dumb. As much as I'd love to see the lad become key, he has done nothing of note on any scale in a United shirt.

It's been one of the strange things on the cafe this season, that somehow the answer to our central midfield problem is Tom Cleverley and nothing else. It's like when Arsenal blamed not winning the league in 2008 on Eduardos injury.
