SL Benfica - Manchester United

They've all been shit bar Smith and Scholes.

Get Ronaldo off and get Park on, we need someone to work for the side.
 
Won't be devastated if we go out, because we're neither good enough to win it (or get past the 2nd round) nor are we as lucky as the scousers were last season. We'd deserve to be out.

to be honest, we might as well go out now with the players not being interested at all. only two players have stood out so far, scholes and ronaldo, they have actually tried to do something.


OShea and silvestre have been shit - they are fecking us down our left

Ronaldo is playing like he just wants to impress with his flicks needs to get more involved with team play

Not popular opinion!

he's our most creative player!

PS I hope you are a guy, if not someone is going to ask you to cook something.
 
John O'Shea needs to learn how to Run, if he doesnt then he needs to stay nearer our goal, he has been caught out of position so many times, he is too slow to be a full back

fecking Ronaldo is playing like a pansy.
 
Honestly, we don't deserve to be in the next phase.
We've been playing like that during the whole group phase, add the usual shakyness of our defence when we play 4-4-2 and the fact we're playing away in a difficult stadium, and that's what you get.
That fact that a good 45 minutes can see us into the next stage, is a crime.
 
COME ON LADS>>>>>ANOTHER 45mins to prove that you are playing for MAN UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB!!!!!!

In fact, Ronaldo looks hungry for it. He has been steadily improving as the half went on.

O'Shea is a joke. CLOSE the OPPONANT down FFS. :mad:
 
Ffs oshea needs to be subbed for richardson or brown and giggs needs to play in his fecking position left wing its no surprise there tearing us apart down the right.
 
Ronaldo is fecking me right off!

He plays for himself without a consideration for the team.

They're hitting us on the break like we should have done to them when we took the lead. Not looking good at all.
 
just need 1 lucky break in the second half, a flukey penalty, a defensive error or a piece of skill from United and it's 2-2.......Forlan to score a 90th minute winner for Villareal and we're through!

Hmm, get a feeling i'm clutching at straws!
 
We cant play much worse..the players are not finding one another and it's all long balls,

Park will come on at some stage and do what he done against milan....i hope :rolleyes:
 
We look so disjointed. Rooney's been anonymous. Ronaldo seems to be right on the edge and our defending has been shambolic. I can't believe how that half played out after we scored the early goal. I really thought we were on our way.
 
Terrible performance at the back so far. We started well but the defence have drained most of the confidence out of the team.

Unlucky for their second, not a great deal that could be done about that, but their first was criminal. O'Shea was far too slow getting out.

Theyre stretching us in a big way.
 
Ruud lost the ball stupidly and it led to benfica's 1st goal.
We can still win it but we have to be better organized.

Rooney should step his gear because he has been shit in champion's league matches if you remove his debut match.
 
Think positive. WE CAN STILL WIN THIS ONE ! Spurs 0:3, Juventus 1:2, Arsenal 1:2, 0:1 Bayern all at HT.

Come on Manchester United !
 
I think someone else said it, but we don't deserve to go through on these performances. We've hardly been convincing in the Champions League this term as it is.

Brown in the middle with Rio, Tweety moves to left full back. I haven't seen any of the game yet (I'm at work and recording it), but from what everyone's saying here, O'Shea is crap right now. Get him off.

atleast ronaldo is trying to do something. i`d rather have a player trying to do something than just stand there like a fecking clueless Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime trying to figure out why he has football shoes on him....

Agreed. Ronaldo is at least showing some sort of urgency although he hasn't been very good.
