Sporting Lisbon vs. Manchester United - Wednesday 19 September 2007 (19:45 BST)

another classic match when we play one true striker upfront
 
Excellent tactic tonight, hoof it to our lone striker that is a big dwarf that isn't matchfit.
 
Giggs has been very very very poor again im afraid

Was thinking the same. Where has our Giggsy gone? For the second half I`d replace Giggsy with Saha, change to 442 and hopefully we`ll look better.

Our defense (and Edwin) is still safe and sound though.
 
Poor so far. Hope we bring on Saha sooner rather than later. Great save VDS, keeping us in it
 
Get giggs out of there,absolutely useless yet again.

Saha and Anderson to come on in the second half.
 
There hasn't been a performance at all. The only one who seemed to have showed up remotely is Vidic.

Scholes and Carrick i haven't even noticed in the opposition's half barring corner. Fortunately my expectations of this game wasn't high at all so it just confirms the fact that away in Europe Sir Alex has not and does not seem to be able to make us play like Manchester United.

its utter wank im sorry, but we have the cover...use it. Giggs has had a shocking start to the season ifi am honest. His touch and control is terrible currently.

saha or tevez on...


4-4-2
 
we should stop participating in the champions league. or at least forfeit our away games.

whats the fecking point?
 
Theres no link between midfield and attack for me, Giggsy needs to get more invovled, or sub him for Tevez or Saha...

VDS has been awesome, hes made me restore all my faith in him, top class GK.
 
I reckon bring Tevez on for Giggs or Nani. He's the man to link up the play which is what is missing.

What`s utter wank? Our defense? Or were you just agreeing with me?
 
Has Carrick made at least one good pass tonight? It's unbelieve, he is a different player this season, wake up Carrick. Also it was as if I was watching the game in slow motion...
 
I dont care about the result today, really. But I want to see us play football. please....
 
Seems like are quick passing and pressuring defenses like last season has vanished. No good one two's at the flanks either. Our passing has been piss poor from the start of the season. Where did all the pace and tempo go ??? And Rooney ain't suited to play lone striker where he is trying to get the ball too much we're like playing four playmakers with no one to finish off the goal. ( Ronaldo Scholes Rooney Giggs ). Dunno but this is a serious problem for Fergie in my aspects.

agreed.
 
We will never win the champions league playing with 4-3-3. It just does not suit our best players, i.e. Scholes and Rooney. Such a dull formation. How many years have we seen our team play away in Europe like this, against inferior oppostion we could pummel, if only Fergie grew some balls and went 4-4-2 all out attack. Yawn.
 
Bring Saha on, take Giggs off FFS, we look shit once again.
 
So awful, we've been playing like this and still won so hopefully that can continue. Bring On the King.
 
Saha or Tevez need to come on straight away.
Or Both I don't care as long as something is done at half time.
 
anyone else really worried about giggs?? been shite all year this is not good.
