Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Hargreaves and O'Shea both training well with the first team and SAF considering them for match day squads. One will probably feature as a substitute against Chelsea and the other against Bayern (probably Hargreaves against Chelsea and O'Shea against Bayern, or JOS for both).
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

THE Owen Hargreaves? No way. Surely not!

3-0 to the Rentboys this weekend. Sigh.
Prem's not over though...

Surely your a WUM, If Chelsea beat us 3-0 I'll admit were a crap team like you say we are.

We'll either score and dominate and concede 1 late or dominate and concede 1 similar to the Bridge game.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I'm just thinking "but where will the goals come from" at the minute...

When Berba plays up front on his own, he figures he shouldn't be at the head of the attack and plays as a sweeper instead, so we'll have noone up front...against Chelsea...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yep, he was fantastic as a sweeper against Bolton. Hence, he scored two poacher finishes.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

This is Bolton we're talking about though, not Chelsea, and he clearly scored them from his own half.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

You gotta get over the Berba hate. 7 goals in his last 8 starts. Hardly Dong is he?

Recently there's been a marked difference in his attitude on the pitch and he's realised he has to fit into the team and not the other way round and this has coincided with his great form. If the midfield try and stay on his wavelength then we'll be alright.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I'm just being a WUM at the minute.

I still don't think we'll score but I won't argue Berba has been very good lately. Much more like that bloke we supposedly signed from Spurs.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He's actually got a decent scoring record against Chelsea. 4 goals in 8 competitive starts.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Our defense has been crap so you'll definitely find a way to score.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Drogba will probably start on the bench,how about that?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I wonder how important not ruling that 2nd goal out for offside will be come the end of the season...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

your goal was handball anyway so doesn't make much difference

better team won, you lacked heart today

rooney is a massive player for you, has the heart of 3 men lol

That's Marshall Bravestarr isn't it? ;))
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah, probably.

Chelsea looked much fresher than us having had no midweek game.

Deserved a draw at least though, were on top in the second half.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I thought Chelsea definitely deserved the win tbh, they had more clear cut chances and played better football (i hate that cliché tbf), although the second Chelsea goal and the United goal shouldn't have stood imo.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We dominated the 2nd half to be honest (after a poor first) and really should have taken a point IMO. That period of pressure between the 50m-70m needed a goal from us.

Were still in the race but as SAF said its more what Chelsea and Arsenal do know, if they win their games it doesn't matter what we do.

Credit to Nani and Macheda though, great subs from SAF and both made a real impact, Macheda will become a top player.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

The main difference between the two teams was constant pressing. Manchester had none (except Fletcher, this guy is amazing).
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Apart from a tired squad and being ripped off at their own ground, it was very clear today how much United miss Rooney.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Bullshit. We looked just as lethargic as we did when he was playing against Bayern midweek.

Rooney wouldn't have done any better than Berbatov did today (and that's the only change to the starting lineup Fergie would have made if Wayne was fit). We suffered from poor passing and no movement from the midfield. Giggs and Park were poor and Fletcher didn't start playing properly until the second half. Scholes was alright, but playing Giggs, Scholes and Neville against a team as physical as Chelsea was stupid.

As soon as Nani came on the game changed and we looked far more threatening as he was prepared to drive forward and link up with Berbatov who had been totally isolated up to that point (as Rooney was against B.M.).
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

One way or the other, Rooney still was the man who scored for you in the 1st minute in Munchen. In the form he was in front of goal, it's obvious he's gonna be missed. Also his work rate can't be compared with Berbatov's. Let's wait and see what happens in the next few fixtures.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

it look 50/50 really yeah Chelsea held on to the ball longer but was suspect in finishing Anelka running didn`t know what to do and gave it away.Drogba`s goal was not even close to being onside he actually ran around the player to get in position quite odd.I rather Utd lose only because this will give Chelsea a false hope of over confidence . Mutd didn`t look off the mark the whole game they put on a good show 1-1 could of been the scoreline forget about the 3 pens Dean wasn`t trying to give any no matter what it look like :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We'd be stupid to play him. Reaks of one man team and all that. Plus the chance of re-injury is soooo much higher. Macheda and Berbatov should be able to do the business.

What pisses me off is that Giggs and Park are undroppable at the moment, and they're both playing like crap. Passing to them is the equivalent of giving the ball back to the opposition. Very disheartening.

Would much rather we go for it, and play Nani, Valencia in a 3 with Macheda at the top, with berbatov connecting play, Fletch and Carrick shielding. We need to score after all, and with those two wingers we should be able to double up when we've lost hte ball, and enjoy the space when Robben/Ribery don't track back.
