We've always been an attacking team though. It's great to have a solid back four and GK now.

I mean the style you play now, which is very fluid. With RVN, you tended to us the wings a lot more, with balls coming in for him. That's obviously changed. You have always been an attacking team, but I do think you have the BEST attack in Europe now. Same with your defense. 2-3 years back, I would say Barcelona had the best attack, and Milan/Liverpool had the best defense.
I am still to be convinced by your midfield though, which is your only weakness. Scholes is brilliant, but he's getting old. Anderson looks good, but he is a different type of player that I was expecting. He's got a great engine, and power, but he doesn't really control the midfield. Not sure what type of player he will be. Same with Carrick (who is still pretty good and very creative , though not very mobile) and Hargreaves (who I think has been a waste of 17M).

Thought you boys were awesome on Saturday, Villa simply didn't have an answer. It should have been 6 or 7 tbh.
Can't see the title ending up anywhere else this season, I don't get the feeling Chelsea have enough in the tank and we are 1 maybe 2 years away from winning it.
If you do win it then you will have done it with style and with a brand of exciting, attacking football and thats to be applauded.. :applause:

I think the fat lady is onstage now...just awaiting her cue.
CL news...Looks like Edwin VDS is fit for the Roman Job tomorrow night,which is a boost for us.
Roma however looks to have their talismatic captain Francesco Totti to sit out of the game due to injury.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
Just reading the team news on the BBC & United sites...
Saha (suprise) & Nani are out. Carrick is a doubt, though Giggs & Evra came through training last night. Silvestre is back in the squad, and Danny Welbeck has travelled with the team as well, though can't see either featuring.
I guess it'll be 4-5-1 tonight, with Tevez coming on in the second half (for Scholes or Giggs).
Might be me being hopeful, but think we can get a 1-1 draw. If Totti is out (we'll see), maybe even - dare I say it - a narrow win.
What do you guys think?

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
I WILL be waiting for her if she comes to hand us our 10th Premiership title!
Tonight will be close no doubt.I would be happy with a draw with goals but would be great if we could nick it...
Carrick will be missed but we are lucky to have Scholes on form with Anderson and Hargreaves hungry for action.
It will be a 4-5-1 without the ball but 4-3-2-1 with the ball.
Roma without Totti will be a bonus but still formidable.The might also be better off without him.Its like they will have more freedom in attack without going through Totti every single time.Kinda like Arsenal after Henry...
C'MON UNITED!!!!

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
actually that's a good point.
2 years ago, spalletti was forced to play without totti for 3 months (broken leg), and during those months roma played the most beautiful football, and won 11 matches in a row.
missing totti might be either a terrific boost or a tremendous blow.
however nobody would ever be happy to miss a player like totti for such an important match.
good luck for tonite guys

I'm predicting a 2-1 win for Roma. Guess the work might be done later on at Old Trampford.

Well you just knew it didn't you? We have fantastic luck with our centre two, and then we get a problem. Same time last year, the same thing happened and it did us in in the CL eventually. Lets hope Vida is alright.
EDIT - Never mind, doesn't matter, Ronaldo...

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
must of watch a different game then me...manutd sat back w/ led in their trunks no movement at all. If Ronaldo wasn`t on the pitch to dance w/ the ball this game would of look so one-sided. I hope he never leaves United cause they will be dull. Manutd plays effective football while chels plays result football and L`pool nevermind

Also thought United sat back and scored their 2 goals in something like 4 shots on goal. Roma were pushing but just couldn't do anything. Good save by van der Saar.

Not over yet, anyway. Roma look a fantastic side and if their attack comes off, they are capable of scoring goals at OT. It takes a lot of pressure off the next game, but I hope we don't just sit back.

The reason they sit back is because they have Ronaldo.
If they didn't, then they'd adapt their team to play more of an all round way away from home.
They played it perfectly tonight and are generally a joy to watch.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
I though it was a smart game by United. SAF knew Roma's strengh was in the midfield so he countered with Scholes, Anderson and Carrick, and then Hargreaves, with help by Park and Rooney.
More than deserved. You score you win, that's it.
Wasn't much of a match, but it was a much better than I expected.
The first leg of a CL game is usually like this. Nobody wants to make a mistake.
Ronaldo is improving on the important games. He came out of nowhere on that goal.
Maybe he can show that for the national side.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread, 5 points clear + 7 games left = 10th Prem T
I agree with Peter, Roma built well but were lacking a cutting edge in the box.
I thought Scholes and Carrick were brilliant in the middle though. They did what they had to do, passed it well and covered for 90 minutes.
Rio was great at the back, making several key interceptions and he was a great leader (I think he should be captain over Giggs). Park's performance was a nice surprise, he never stopped all night and the assist for Rooney's goal was something another player may not have bothered to get to.
Rooney and Ronaldo were both ok, not outstanding but definitely effective.
All that's needed now is a similar team performance back at Old Trafford and that should see them through.
