Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

It WAS a penalty, because regardless of where the ball went when he touched it, the keeper still brought him down, and that'll be a foul anywhere else on the pitch, so why not in the box?

They're probably just pissed because the other blatant penalty wasn't given.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

fletch was real lucky the penalty wasnt given.what a crazy game..giggs had an awful game..kept giving the ball away.
we were really lucky to come away with 3 points, but oh well. wenger at the end cracked me up. :D
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Not the best performance but the 3 points were gained

Rooney, Fletcher and Evra were amazing I thought, they all played really well. It still seems some players are still finding their feet and are still bedding into the new season.

Giggs!!!! Giggsy, Giggsy that was pretty shocking to be fair, his final pass was absolutely shite today, plus he looked a bit weak whenever he tried running with the ball.

But never mind 3 points is in the bag and the ending with Wenger was hilarious, top entertainment!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

true Giggs was shit but he set up both goals, If Nani had taken the free kick it would of been an outswinger and we wouldnt of scored mate
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah that's the funny thing and what SAF will justify his selection with but Giggs was terrible again, he's really in poor form at the moment.

Fletcher was immense. He has got to start as many games as possible. His workrate and drive is incredible. I also though only Fletch, Rooney and Evra were decent today.

3 points is a good though.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

though Carrick wasnt with it today either, i would of swapped him with ando

I was thinking the same thing during the first half. Then the second half comes and he produces a couple of moments of magic and saves the day. I really dont know if I should love him or hate him. :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

with god-knows-what on diaby's mind, we might have scored even then. it was a perfect header, really.
what baffles me is,he clearly headed it back towards his own goal, it was not as if it just deflected off his head. maybe he was trying to pass it back to almunia.
fletch was amazing today..he covered almost every blade of grass, but he gotta be careful in the box tho. it was a clear penalty..

Well moments of magic is a bit too nice to Giggsy!! The first was a great pass but Almunia should never have taken Wayne out and the second assist was a cross to an opposition players head :LOL:

Some things that made me laugh

1. Fergie Time. 7, yes SEVEN fucking minutes and we didn't even need a goal! What was the ref playing at? I thought this only happened when we were losing or drawing?! That's what some Liverpool fans told me anyway. ;)

2. Eboue diving! How fucking stupid can someone be?!?!?! After everything that's happened this week he goes and does that! :LOL:

3. Wenger getting sent off It was a bit harsh I thought, not to mention utterly pointless given 6 minutes of 'Fergie Time' had already been played. I was cracking up when he had went and stood in the middle with all our fans waving at him! :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

To be fair, the last 3 minutes were "Wenger Time". He should have done a little dance while he was up there. :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Wenger was quality, few managers would have handled that situation in such a humourous fashion as he did. :APPLAUD:

Nah cause Ando would've been just as bad.

I don't think it's a stretch to say I can't remember the last time either had a decent game.

Carricks problem is that he dwells on the ball for far too long, and then he produces a shit pass once he gets closed down.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I'm actually surprised Scholes didn't start, he had a good game against Wigan with Fletcher in the centre and besides, he probably wouldn't have done any worse than Carrick (who's in bad form) and Giggs (who seems to play better in a midfield two).
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Scholes seems to do better against teams lower down the league where he has more time on the ball but like you say he was fantastic against Wigan and probably would have done better than Carrick today. He's very composed on the ball and could've helped us get a grip of the game.

Ps. I <3 Darren Fletcher.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Something else I didnt like was seeing Rooney alone upfront again. He just doesnt get enough of the ball when he's up there alone. As soon as Berba came on, he started dropping deep where you can clearly see he was enjoying the game a lot more.
As for Berba, he's just like Owen. Owen gets into great positions but cant score to save his life. Berba shows amazing skill and has impressed me with his will to get around the pitch a lot more (must be trying to prove the critics wrong) but again, his misses are letting him down.
If only we can get those two to start scoring as often as Rooney then we'll be on fire.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Owen cant score to save his life :LOL: Jesus thats rubbish! His record for club and country since he started at 16/17 is almost 1 in 2.

And Berba's miss was unlucky, it bobbled just before it came to him.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Oh, and anyone else think Berba should have started?

Everytime he seems to get going, he's put back on the bench.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah I thought so, in place of Carrick, Giggs or one of the wingers. Some of SAF's selection decisions have been a bit strange lately.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Berbatov should definitely have started.

I really don't get why Fergie has to match up against Arsenal or the other two, it just doesn't bloody work.

We were happy playing 4-4-2 against Wigan (albeit in the second half), and we should stick to it. Having two up top would've given us the ability to keep the ball up there more often.

As it was, Rooney had very little of the ball and we had to rely on Giggs to get forward, who failed epically at doing so.

Also Valencia needs a lot of work before he's upto scratch, especially if we're gonna go 4-3-3, he was never anywhere near Rooney, playing way too far back.

I'm talking about as of right now, not in the past. :ROLL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Did he actually fall there or was he trying to get the ball out of play?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He tried to intercept it. Arsenal got the thrown in though despite the fact Rooney didnt touch it :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

think he was trying to header the ball out mate
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

great performance. i am upset with the result but manu was very very lucky.

Arsenals back for never put a foot wrong while we was ahead and our midfield and attacking play troubled united. it took a brilliant save and the bar to save united bacon.

Diaby? stil not sure why his playing but wenger MUST see somethin in training for him to start. i feel sorry for the lad on his own goal. he did well to pick himself up and trouble united. its a shame his finishing was awful.

If arsenal keep putting in a similar performance every week until may, dont be surprised if we are still in it for the title. From what i can see, this was a flukey loss on arsenals part.

a few inches here and there and arsenal would have been 3 goals up but like people say, football can be crual.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We weren't anywhere near our best today, Fletcher is most definitely our best Centre Mid. Good news on Hargo back next month cause Fletcher won't be able to play in every game. Giggs and Carrick were below par but the former created both goals.

Berbatov probably should have started but I do think we'll stick with this formation in Europe. :LOL: That Rooney diving header is similar to what Moneybags Tevez did against City last season.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

If we had to go 4-3-3 (was really 4-5-1 for be honest), we should have stuck Berba up front and put Rooney wide right with Nani on the left.
The only reason that'll never happen is cuz I'm sure Sir Alex must have promised Rooney he'll never play wide again.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

That was one crazy game but everything went to our favour.

I dont even know where to start about Darren Fletcher.He has become an important player for us,excelling in big games.Too bad he got robbed of the MOTM by Rooney.He is a "Man United through and through" material now.

Like many of us,I was shocked to see Giggs starting upfront with Rooney from the start when we have two other natural forwards stuck on the bench.

We got the result nonetheless and that is the utmost important after watching the sods got away with 3 points too against Bolton.

Another irritating international break before we face Spurs at WHL.

ROSSOBIANCHI!!!!!
