I don't get it, I thought with Keano and Butt in a 5 man CM that we'd be trying to stop them playing when instead we're positionally defending.

I'm not going to mention that we drew here three years ago playing 4-4-2. I'm not. :)

No we don't. Three would be nice of course, but two away goals will do nicely.

Our defence needs to get its act together. I've not been convinced by Rio all season - I would have Wes and Silvestre in there, with O'Shea on the left.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Rio has looked the best of the back 4 IMO. Wes doesnt look very comfortable.


Theyre ripping the piss royally now. But we CAN nick it...

I'm not always confident with Wes either. Truth is, I'm amazed we have the best defence in the league but I think you can attribute a lot of that to John O'Shea.

No, they are teaching us Football, and I wish our players would start paying attention.

If they keep standing off Zidane the score will only get worse, you need him off the ball but they seem happy for him to have it 40 yards out.

Let's hope Fergie is paying as much attention as you.

If that's true, then we should put Ole on the right - someone who can do the job and also has a striker's mentality.

i cant b3e arsed typing it all so heres a quick way to do it!


feck, feck, feck x1000000000000000000000 :mad:
 
If we get just one goal it might force the pressure back on them... I think Nicky Butt is doing well but in general the whole team seems nervous!

Well half time and i'm shocked at how its gone.

They have been fecking great and at times you lot seem to be letting them run the show.

You didn't get to this stage playing like this, and its no good going back to Old Trafford two or even three down, cos thats near impossible against this lot.

Zidane - Best player in the world and showing it.

Touch typing while watching the match today. <img src="graemlins/angel.gif" border="0" alt="[Angel]" />

Y'know that 4-4-2 would have made no difference if we weren't going to tackle, press and attack with fast thinking.

Our defence has been shite...

However, we've looked good going forward..

So there's every chance we'll score...in the next half.


Come on United.
 
awesome stuff from Real Madrid.

Too bad our defense and midfield are also star struck

Atleast Ole wouldn't be on the bench alone...

lets face it, when it comes to the CL Madrid step up a gear. Theyre taking the piss.
Ronaldo & Raul are leading our defence a merry dance and every time the ball goes near Barthez tonight my heart is skipping a beat! what the fecks he playing at!?
 
While watching Zidane play, I was thinking, "Just one stray pass, just one...!" I dont think any of Real's attacking three played any bad passes in that half. We looked nervous at the back. We went ball watching for the first goal, and the second was just terrible defending. Becks hasnt got back as much as i'd like, but to be fair, Zidane's roaming position has undone us - not much you can do to be honest. We're letting their names beat us. We've carved em open a few times and we need to stick at it. An away goal could change the game completely.

The fans have been fantastic by the way.

If Giggs was quaking with fear last time it seems all of 'em have been this time. :(

They didn't even stop their cautious, neutered, approach after they'd gone down a goal or two.

Ronaldo was doing us a favour in the first 30 minutes or so, he just kept ruining all those beautiful Real moves...

They've looked awesome going forward...

I haven't seen them play that well this season..

Still reckon, we've let ourselves down... too many mistakes in our third.

Beckham needs to control carlos better, he´s always down by our goal whereas david is no where to be seen. But Real are great, and i think we should put Butt on Zidane for the rest of the game that man shouldn´t be making all of those passes.
