Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Yeah i've been watching this kid in the U17 world cup, i've been impressed, but the only resemblance to Ronaldinho is physical. I think they got the same barbour’s. :lol: they look so similar. Plus his higly rated at Barca so why would he leave? :shock:

He has not scored yet though but his overall play is good and you can tell his got potential. I think Mexico are playing Turkey tonight on Brit-eruosports 9:30pm.

Heinze on injury

"I can't get out of my head the noise the knee made. I didn't feel any pain. It was the noise which made me leave the field"

and he tried to run it off!! I now he's a hard man but that takes the biscuit!!!

The club have sent him back to Argentina to recover....

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

'Tis a shame when we have all the attacking prowess we could need and we can't create enough chances anyway, Imagine if we still had Beckham, because we don't cross anymore, we don't score as much, but Becks added that killer ball, shame he fell out with Fergie. I see Scholes has said if we don't win our next two games, the title challenge is over, So that means it's over full stop if we don't win 'cause no one else is gonna stop Chelsea
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

People seem to be forgetting Mikel if he joins us in january. Who knows what he'll bring to the team. From what I've seen, he's like Essien. Attacks and defends too. And is kind of a holding player.

Miller Knocking On Fergie's Door
Liam Miller is itching to make his presence felt at Manchester United. The Republic international, 24, moved from Celtic last summer — yet has failed to make an impact at Old Trafford. But with Red Devils skipper Roy Keane out with a broken foot Miller hopes his time may have arrived. Miller revealed: “There will be so many games this year, hopefully I will get an opportunity — and then I have to take it. I am training with great professionals every day and am trying to take everything on board and learn from it.”
Staff reporter, The Sun

United notched their second consecutive Senior Cup win with a comfortable victory at Ewen Fields.

Irish midfielder Liam Miller was instrumental for the hosts, scoring two goals and dominating midfield in an impressive second half display.United took the lead after just 12 minutes as Sylvan Ebanks-Blake continued his comeback from a broken leg with his first competitive goal since February.The Cambridge-born striker reached Lee Martin's left-wing cross before the visitors' defence before calmly slotting the ball home.While County battled gamely for the remainder of the first half, United put the game to bed soon after the interval.Miller scored his first goal after 52 minutes before American striker Kenny Cooper continued his recent goalscoring form with a scorching third goal just after the hour mark.The burly forward picked the ball up full 30 yards from goal before picking his spot and hammering a shot into the top corner of the County goal.Adam Le Fondre pulled one back for the visitors shortly afterwards, but United kept County at arm's length before Miller put the icing on the cake two minutes from time.The ex-Celtic star notched his second goal with a fine curling free-kick as Ricky Sbragia's men bounced back from last week's Lancashire Cup defeat at the hands of Oldham.

The Kids seems to be doin well but we have yet to see the likes of Pique and Rossi breakin into the first team.As for Liam Miller,i'm gonna update his stats now in WE9 to make him at least decent.Do yall still think he got the grades to make it at Man United? He was highly rated and Celtic was really pissed to let him go,so,i'll still hold on to that belief he still has a chance.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

I saw that game. He was ok. Nothing special. The freekick was nice though.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has set himself the target of being back in training by the beginning of November.

The popular Manchester United striker has spent almost all of the last two seasons on the sidelines trying to combat a serious knee injury and reports coming out of Norway recently suggested Solskjaer had suffered another, potentially career-threatening, setback.

However, while Solskjaer has admitted he has been forced to ease off his recovery programme because of a minor niggle, he insisted the new injury was only loosely connected to the old one and he intends to resume training in six weeks' time.

'There has been a bit of a setback,' the 32-year-old told MUTV.

'We had a look at it but it was not really anything to do with the old injury, other than it will take a few more weeks to recover.

'The specialist is very pleased with how the old injury is progressing, so I am hoping to be back in training by November 1.'

The news will give Sir Alex Ferguson a big lift, even though there will be no demands placed on Solskjaer after such a long period out.

Ferguson has previously revealed his own doubts over whether the man who famously scored the injury-time winner against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final would ever play again.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

they HAVE to bring in spector.... i cant imagine who else can play... looks like maybe we should have kept neville and butt..
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Have I said before that we should have kept Phil?

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

I agree with bringing spector back, has he even played for charlton ? I haven't really seen them much but i haven't heard of him doing so.

He impressed me the last time we played him, he could be a good player for us.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Kamikaze United
Manchester United have not scored a goal for 225 minutes and Sir Alex Ferguson's solution to the worrying goal drought is for his side to go out and play "kamikaze" football. Ruud van Nistelrooy's 45th-minute strike in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City a fortnight ago was the last time United found the net, since when they have drawn a blank against Villarreal and Liverpool. "Manchester United cannot only defend," said Fergie. "We can't just play defensively.The fans, the people here, just won't stand for it. It's not us. This club has a kamikaze streak which, in a funny way, I rather like." Fergie, who is concerned that the goalscoring burden in United's opening five Premiership matches has been shared by van Nistelrooy and Rooney, has urged others to find the net. "I'd take a goal from anywhere," said the United boss. "Of course, it's great when your strikers are scoring, but we do need goals from other areas as well. The goals are definitely there for us. Our problem last season wasn't creating chances, it was taking them. We made more chances than any other club, but we also missed more chances than anyone else." Yet there is increasing discontent among United fans over the persistence with the 4-3-3 system, with frustrated supporters shouting "Attack, Attack, Attack" throughout the stalemate at Anfield. United are still without skipper Roy Keane, who will be sidelined for two months, defender Gabriel Heinze, who is out for the season, and England full back Gary Neville, who may make the bench tomorrow against Blackburn.
David McDonnell, Daily Mirror

Good news i think, as this would mean we will start making a conscious decision to attack more. I think we every now and then you see arsenal and chelsea murder teams 3 or 4-0, United use to be able to do this all the time but since we started playing 4-5-1/4-3-3 i cant remember the last time we whooped a decent team in the premiership. Hopefully now we will go all out attack and see some high scores, fuck the clean sheets man, i mean its not like the top two teams are gonna have same amnount of points at the end of season and have to come down to goal difference. I remember arsenal hammering everton last season 7-0 now that is a result.

Nah we have enough fridge players in our team and i think it was high time we got rid of some of the shit(p.neville aint shit but he aint gonna start fireworks) out of the team like djemba,butt and kleberson. I think oshea should be next to go and United should get a proper defender who knows their best position and doesnt play all over the place doing an half ass job.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Blackburn have managed 1 point from their last 3 games so this might be the perfect time to hammer a team.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Just read on football365 that Fergie want Unitedto rediscover their kamikaze style again.
Seriously, is he taking the piss! It was him and his adopted 'european' style of play that stopped them playing that way in the first place.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Well I'm blaming Carlos Quieroz(sp?).
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Fergie has the final say no matter what and if he cant think for himself then......
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Well Carlos obviously influences Sir Alex, he is assistant manager afterall. And after seeing Portugal and Chelsea successfully use this style of play, I dont think it would have been too hard to convince Fergie to use this formation.
Quieroz is great with people. He can speak a variety of languages and is a decent coach too. So Sir Alex must be thinking "hey, this guy knows his stuff. lets stick to his style of play". This also explains why Sir Alex would like Carlos to take over when he finally retires.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

We've stuck to his style of play for over 2 seasons and where has it got us? Someone with half a brain can see it doesnt work so why cant Ferguson. Two consecutive seasons finishing 3rd, out of the Champs League before 1/4 and a solitary FA Cup triumph.
Where did we go wrong? I think its bloody obvious!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

But if we're getting, like in some games, nearly 20 shots on target, hitting the wood work 3 times, and still not getting a goal, how does that suggest that theres a problem with the formation? The formation issue is just an excuse and something to blame. Yes, 4-4-2 is more attacking in the sense that theres two strikers but how much would it actually affect us? Are you lot saying that we'll all of a sudden be playing as well as Chelsea?

IMO, 4-3-3 would work if its played with a attacking mentality. I think the real problem here is that we're missing someone important in midfield. I was pretty confident that if we had bought Ballack, it would have changed things around. People are always talking about the replacement for Keano but I think what we really need is an attacking midfielder who's ability is as great as someone like Kaka or Ballack, etc. Someone who is a world class provider and also a goal scoring threat. Just imagine it. If we had someone who can score goals AND play world class passes to our front 3, we'll be hammering teams again.

In our last 3 games we've had 5 shots on target, just 5, i think that does suggest there is a problem with the formation.

They have just took two interviews Fergie did and put them together the bit about the kamikaze United was from a couple of weeks ago!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

0-1 to blackburn at half time at old trafford. This is disgracful. if we lose today at home with chelsea dropping points we dont deserve title.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

Yes 1-1 ruud van nistelrooy and still time to get 3 points if wer lucky! If we draw ita not as damaging as a loss as there will still be time to get our ass in gear for rest of season even if chelsea win today.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?

2-1 down now! Fucking pathetic!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread - Graveson to join in Jan?
