Sunderland vs. Manchester United

Kiko and Owen are just so wrong for this sort of game. Baffling decision to play them from the start. Hopefully Ferige realizes and changes that next half. We've been well bossed most of the half and should consider ourselves lucky to be drawing and not be a couple of goals down.

the ball has barely made it past midfield.
 
We don't have any movement up front, nothing down the left. Need to change things to get scholes more involved further up the pitch
 
What a rubbish half of football so far. The only positives has been Rafael, Ando and VDS's performance.
 
Our most advanced move, and Owen traps the ball 5 yards backwards.

Half time.
 
Easily the worst half of football we have played this season. Comprehensively outplayed for 45 minutes. To say we've been dire would be kind.Fergie needs to get his hairdryer out, and use it on himself first for picking this side.
 
Well from what i've seen we lack anything going forward, Andos passing is still rubbish, Scholes is being man-marked and Nani hasnt done anything to write home about.

Also has kiko even touched the ball?
 
Terrible performance.

Only player who should not be embarrassed is Rafael
 
I think we can only create chances and score if we end up conceding two goals per match.

Lol, we're looking shit then? Is Anderson on the left?

I have no idea who's playing Left-Wing but it ain't Anderson. Looks like O'Shea on his own, yet people are wanting O'Shea off for a defensively awkward Evra :lol:

What we need to do is bring Owen or Macheda off and bring on someone to play at LeftWing.
 
Get ready to turn up the hairdryer to full blast.

For me, we just haven't played in this game. I expect a whole new attitude from half time because we will lose if we continue this way. Everyone should be shamed by that.
 
HT:What was that.Playing like a team fighting relegation.Hopefully a few choice words will see some improvement.
 
Anderson has been the best of our midfielders. Rafael looks good too.
 
Positive thing is that we somehow managed to go without conceding. We'll probably nick it now, although we don't deserve to.

Berbatov probably needs to come on, we need someone who can hold up the ball.
 
Sunderland :

5 shots on target
3 shots off target

Manchester United :

0 shots on target
1 shot off target (which was a free kick)
 
unbeliveable, totally outclass and outpass by sunderland:(

would have been 3 down if sunderland got their shooting shoes on:annoyed::eek:
 
Anderson has been the only one who's not been completely and utterly shit. This has been our most embarrassing performance of the season and that's something.

Great to see Kiko and Owen are playing so well.
 
45 mins of the worst football I have seen in many years.
Toothless and without a clue.
Kiko and Owen might has well not be on the pitch.
This may be one of the rare times that SAF makes half time subs
 
I'm in serious need of a decent stream, people. Preferably a veetle.
 
Why is our centre midfield so fecking deep.

it's like we're playing 4-2---2-----------2
 
Embarrassingly similar to the Valencia game, where we're happy to sit back and absorb the pressure. While riding a ridiculous slice of luck.

Hope it'll end up the same, with Hernandez impersonating God again.
 
To be fair, we were shite against Valencia and all. So it's nothing new.
 
Soccernet claims United are in a 4-3-3 according to the lineup positions listed. Says Owen is at LF with Nani RF, a Fletcher-Anderson-Scholes midfield. That surely isn't right?
 
Berba and Evra are inevitable.

Forwards not in the game, not helped by no service.

We've survived a few scares.

I'm buzzing that it's still 0-0. We always did this last year then came out all guns blazing.

Big CL hangover though, no doubt about it.
