67' Cronaldo with his patented run across the face of the box and shoot while ignoring my teammates move, and it ricochets right out, but Utd. still have it. No, now Ronaldo concedes an offside.
That was v.s Fulham - if we keep playing as well as it sounds we are, I doubt lightning to strike once (Diop's goal for Fulham was an absolute once-off cracker).
73' Brum flick the ball onto no one in particular. Its pretty boring stuff now; United daring Brum to break them down, Brum being patently unable to do so. Seems a bit like a Chelsea game at times, actually. Darren Carter on for Nafti.
74' Rooney has a go from a poor angle and blazes it over and spoons it quite wide. Ronaldo on the left, and force of his stepovers blacks out my satellite feed for a moment. He put in a poor cross after all that effort.
75' Pandiani deep to win the ball, Wes Brown fouls him. In the Brum half, of course. Brum can't do diddly with possession though.
Fixed. If you'll recall, Diop scored a goal of the season candidate against us too. You're hardly alone. Meanwhile, 77' Giggs has a shot, but its a simple claimfor Taylor. Utd. playing more possession ball now, without overly threatening. Nope - here's a chance, Keane is set through by a lucky deflecion, but Taylor saves well.
Brum play a horrific backpass, which Taylor tries to "slide-clear", but it just goes straight to Rooney who lobs a hopeless Taylor. Pennant free to deliver a cross, but its poor and cleared out by Neville for a corner.
Don't push your luck, father ted, or you'll be writing that on our boards in a month or so. Without the smilie.
Well, that's mostly been sorted since at least November. What killed us at the start was lack of synchronicity between our attackers, as well as injury after injury.
Am I the only one who is never comfortable up 2-0 with less than 10 minutes to go? I think I was the only one at The Globe still on edge after we went up 4-2...
The Nevillicious one comes on for Giggs. Rooney's off (to the whorehouse - ba dum bump) for Liam "Why am I playing for Manutd" Miller.
Right, but neither of those things are responsible for Diop's goal, or your decision to use the toothless tactics you used in the first half today.
Pennat sells the ref and wins a FK. Morrison and Pandianie looking for it. Oooof - Morrison send it just over the bar. Thinking of you no doubt, Achtung. Morrison was left almost alone. Should have done better.
