Manchester United vs. VfL Wolfsburg

I am watching with a stupid grin on my face. Very positive football we are seeing in every part of the field. We sold the magician to Real this summer, but I can see magic pop up all over the place tonight.
 
paddy evra slotting that ball across his own box in the first ten. feck me, i nearly shit meself
 
Only watched from after 20 mins.
Thought it has been good ,Berbatov has been excellent and done some cracking little touchs and flicks , but for me Carrick has been outstanding more like the Carrick we know and love.
The "goal" should of stood it was not offside.
The only thing that has disapponted me has been the final shot ,some of them have been dreadful.
 
I can imagine that he was a doubt before the game, but Fergie wanted to use him so he played him from start so he didn't have to make two substitutions involving Owen (in case he brings on Owen, he then gets injured, and has to replace Owen again).

perhaps...thanks.
 
good contribution from Berbatov, bad news with Owen?

we do lack explosiveness though, and i feel none of our midfield playmakers are as fast and dangerous as some in the world are.
 
Valencia ain't good enough for me. I really hope I'm wrong but....
 
I think I'm watching another game then some of you. Carrick has far from impressed me even though he's miles better then previously this season.
Carrick's passing has been 12/21 or 57%, that clearly isn't Carrick at his best.
 
I'm often one of Anderson's biggest critics but I think he's had an ok game. Sloppy passing at times but can't fault his work-rate and his movement is good (usually a weakness)

agreed. does look for the killer ball to often in good possesion/build ups
 
Best I've seen Carrick play since Inter away.
Just need a goal now - Berbatov looks like he'll make sure we get at least one.
 
Did you see that touch from Evra as well? The one where he flicked the ball over a Wolfsburg player with his first touch from a long ball from the Wolfsburg defence (keeper?)

That was Berbatovesque :drool:

I will upload that for you tomorrow.

he's visibly better from his passenger style in his last games.
 
played well enough since Berba came on. Just can't seem to finish things off. Carrick looks a little more like his old self. Anderson been wasteful again but has had some good moments as well. Valenica has been decent.
 
Not clinical enough. An air of casualness to our game so far. Nice buildups but frustrating to see the lack of an end product.

Tonight is the best I have seen him so far this season.
OK so his passing has been a bit off , he is not the only one.
The conditions are not good ,not an excuse ,just a comment.
