Manchester United vs. Wigan Athletic, 20/11/10

I think I am going to throw something at my telly because of Danny Mills...what channel actually invites and pays for this spastic to spout his shite ? Seriously ?
 
We honestly have to stop playing Berba and Kiko up front alone. Neither of them can do it. We have only Rooney who can play that role.
 
Park made a number of good runs in the first half, a few of which led to freekicks in dangerous areas, unfortunately we're a bit poo from set pieces.
 
dire performances, we make N Zogbia look like Messi....
 
Park is really frustrating at times but seems to come up with a goal or an assist every time. Hope he can find his form again and he will be better than ever. Think Obertan and Macheda should get a chance until the 60 minute as they looked quite good imo. Macheda did well but hadnt much support. If Park passes him the ball early he would have been through on goal.
 
Park will always be attacked.

It shows a lack of understanding always going after the likes of Park. Our squadplayers, who can step in and do a decent job when our best players are out, are what separates us from other teams. And also what makes us Champions so often.
 
The thing about starting young guys like Macheda and Obertan in matches like this is that when things arent going well they are the ones being replaced and then goes their confidence. I will never understand why Fergie seems so relucant to play the strongest eleven available. 3 points against Wigan is as important as 3 vs Tottenham or Arsenal yet Scholes,Rooney and Giggs are on the bench and we play like shit and somehow scored a late goal.

Maybe those player aren't 100% fit or you think Ferguson is just stupid and doesn't want to play them?
 
Can we PLEASE put a proper team out for the second half before we end up screwing this up?

I don't get what Fergie sees in a midfield of Carrick, Fletcher and Obertan. One has terribe decision making and positioning and the other two look in genuine shock every time someone dares pass the ball to them, and it means playing Macheda in a role which no striker in the entire world can possibly play well in.

If Scholes isn't playing we NEED an effective attacking line up to compensate, otherwise we're little more than a team of passengers.

Why can't Fergie just pick a proper starting 11 for more than two game sin a row?
 
I'd bring on Hernandez for Obertan ...Macheda needs support I think

Scholes would be more than useful here I think with that goal we won't be seeing it though
 
From earlier :

1525: Superb save. It's Gordon Banks-esque from Ben Foster, the Birmingham keeper getting down brilliantly to keep Didier Drogba's firm downward header from Nicolas Anelka's cross out left-handed. Brilliant.

Good work Agent Foster :devil:
 
get Rooney and Scholes on, Macheda not in the game and totally isolated, Carrick is having an awful game.
 
With Macheda up top on his tod we may as well have ten men. Rubbish half again, but then they all are these days. Parks been our best player so far, which aint saying much. Wigan deserve to be at least level. Watching United is hard graft these days. Here's to a better second half.
 
It just seems that we've adopted a very negative playing mentality these days. With the players out there today if we went for the jugular we could really hurt these bastards.

I'm sorry if i appear to be whining, i'm just frustrated by our lack of urgency from an attacking point of view.
 
Why does park have to play in this game? He has lost the ball whenever we attacked. Yes, he did provide an assist, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he has been poor.
 
November 2006 v Everton, April 2007 v Roma, November 2010 v Wigan.

I remember him almost scoring what would have been a legendery goal but I can't think who the hell it was against
 
Great header from Evra, hopefully that will jump start us in the second half as we have been very flat.
 
Busby and Fergie must be right cs then because according to them that's the very ethos of the club.

It's not their ethos that, if the team are struggling, you bitch and moan! fecks sake what a twattish comment. We're 2nd in the league, we've been spoilt rotten for the last few years and yet if we dont win comfortably everyone behaves like spoilt little bitches. fecking arseholes.
 
Poor first half. The stage is well prepared for Rooney to come back and make a difference.

But it does make us lead the game. Which is more important than you thinking he is poor or not.
 
I've more or less missed all the first half...

Apart from the goal, have I missed much?

I can't see how starting with Macheda & Obertan can provide a suitable strike force...

Get the fat cnut off the bench and let him earn his fecking money...

Which match were you watching? he has been our best attacking player even though wigan have kicked the lumps out of him.

:lol: And yet he's been our best attacking player
 
Carrick needs to wake up, caught in posession far too often, either that or he's just waiting for Scholes...again.
 
He's starting to understand German then I guess.

Knowing what Raul is like he will have had the whole Shalke team and coaching staff learn Spanish.
 
Poor first half. The stage is well prepared for Rooney to come back and make a difference.

Thought this prekick off

Hernandez more likely though I think...he's the type who'll get behind and make runs
 
I don't know why everyone are all sarcastic about people having criticised Park during the first half. Not saying that he's useless, but you're getting way ahead of yourselves if you let one good cross disguise the fact that his poor control and touch lost us at least two counter-attacks and a couple of attacks in general.
