There are no words
Well that wasn't very good at all.
This sort of talk can feck right off.
I mean... wow? What the feck? Want to give the league to the fecking Berties in January? are you fecking mad?

My therapist & mum said -- 'Knock it off! Magical thinking is shite!'
You lot are superstitious cnuts aren't you?
I'll be back for the derby.
The problem with a Giggs and Carrick partnership in the middle is that it relies on two things happening: 1. we keep possession and 2. the opposition don't attack the middle with speed and force. 1 and 2 did not happen. What happened was a team that is known for their force in the middle overran both of them, causing extreme pressure on the defense. This caused the whole team to constrict on itself, canceling any potential winged attacks. With two strikers unable to hold up play properly and no support on the wings, this was bound to happen.
Don't see why people are surprised. Once Fergie's 11 was released, it was downhill from there.
We are handing it to them for fs
Skilful sure... creative... not really. The ability to beat a man is just a skill, a skill that turns a 50/50 outcome into an outcome that is more favourable to you. What does he do after the skill? He puts in a cross... I'm not knocking him in ANY sense or fashion, but he is not creative.
Being creative is creating space, playing a killer ball, and most importantly making it look dead fecking easy.
No, but you've got to admit that we made it feckin easy for them.
Chill out!
It's january, and we're only 3 points behind!
fecking hell!
Yep. I said that before the game after seeing the team selection. Its not even hindsight!!
That's more or less exactly what I told my mum.Chill out!

That would fit perfect in the Phil Jones thread with all the number 19's in it.I'm going to end all of my posts with 19 from now on just so I can feel better.

Very poor performance from us today.
Lindegaard actually played okay in goal, and wasn't at fault for the goals, but I still feel that we should have stuck by our man and played De Gea.
At the back, we were woeful. Ferdinand was lucky not to concede a penalty, and he was very unconvincing throughout the whole game. You look to your experienced players to lead the line well in this sort of situation, but I don't think that he did. Jones was woeful, again. He's got enormous potential, but it's suicidal to play him at centre back right now. Evra actually had a decent game out at left back, but Valencia showed us why he's not a right back. Constantly getting caught out of position. We should have started with Rafael.
The midfield wasn't a lot better. I slated Liverpool for having plenty of the ball in the middle, but doing nothing with it. We were much the same tonight. I actually felt that Giggs played well, but Carrick was anonymous. Park drifted all over the midfield, but did nothing, while Nani's end product was woeful at times.
Rooney was abysmal up front. His first touch was non-existent at times, and I was expected him to bounce back with a good performance. For all he has done recently, Berbatov mastered the art of being a ghost tonight. Forgot he was there for most of the game.
I won't write us off, as we're only three points behind, and I hope that nobody else does write us off, because we're not out of it, but there were some very worrying signs out there tonight.
So how is it, if its not hindsight, that you have a better feel for what will work in this game than Sir Alex Ferguson??
By discounting hindsight, you are implying that you have a better tactical understanding than SAF.
I have not seen a single positive post from you - they all seem to rely on hindsight, which is, as we all know, 20-20.
it was a nice free kick though
When was the last time we lost three on the trot?
Right now I want whatever you're on.I somehow managed to forget this match was even on, and missed the whole thing.
I'm okay with that.
