Starting Anderson was stupid. Him, Tevez and Nani are the only pace we have upfront and most of the time they are so spread out as we're moving the ball around, there's absolutely no movement into the box and no attempt to play it into the box.
ok two little glimpses of goodness. let's get some more shots on goal. one in and i think we can rattle them a bit. *sigh*
Great ball from Anderson to Tevez on the counter, shot. Saved. And Eagles with a nice link up with the entire left side of the field for a nice shot from distance. He's performing pretty well.
Eagles is doing very well, I'd be surprised if Anderson goes more than 60 minutes - he's not even close to game fitness.
I hate it when players perform outstanding when they play against us but when they wear the United jersey they look like a puddle of dog sh!t
Scholes at least trying with a couple of shots there... not sure why he's been playing so far back again.
I'm not quite sure what the point of this first half was. Did Ferguson think the same team that stunk up the pitch in the last four matches could somehow produce in this one? Either way, we wasted 45 minutes doing much of the same. Bring on Saha, Anderson is surplus at the moment even though he hasn't been terrible. And maybe Scholes can make an effort to drive up a bit more. Bring Fletcher on and put him on the right. Eagles is cutting in far too much and isn't staying on the proper flank. Brown is providing nothing in his role and Fletcher will.
Makes you wonder where all the players are playing. The defense looks very shaky (except for Evra), the midfield is not there, the forwards are somewhere else and the the wings are isolated. Scholes FINALLY decided to take 2 shots in the 45th minute. Vidic seems like he's completely lost the ability to control a ball. Anderson needs to pick a position and stick to it. Tevez gives the ball away alot. Oddly enough, Eagles has been the best looking offensive player.
This has been a seriously tough game to watch. I can't believe Tevez has played so poorly this season... wtf Evra and Eagles are the only two players that look interested in scoring right now... where is the killer instinct with this ********ing team... also is it me or has the away support been really loud at OT this season... like that is all I'm hearing... maybe it's just in my head but damn make some noise
Evra by far our best player. Eagles is doing ok, at least he's willing to have a go here and there and try to inject some pace into proceedings. The rest of 'em are worthless, passing round them at a snails pace. Speaking of passing, Wes Brown . I'd even be tempted to put Evra in central midfield at this point to try and hit them where it hurts. FFS, how easy are we trying to make it for them?
is carrick hurt, or did they just go with hargreaves and scholes deep(er) with no room for carrick? how much possession did you guys have, it had to be close to 70% I'd guess. edit: i see it was 62% by an earlier poster. man it felt like more than that, and that is still a huge edge
wat a statement , u have no idea wat ur watchin there is no width right now in the united squad nani is comin in anderson is also comin in tevez is droppin and hargreaves and scholes adn playin defensive mid, as for brown let ********ing ride the ********ing bench he ********in sux the worst ********in player on the united team in the history of united , evra has been the best player so far , rio ferdinand looks like he doesnt give a ******** if we score or not as long as they dont score , and vidic is tryin to do somethin by pushin the ball forward but there is nobody to play it to , we definitely need saha to give us pace and please send eagles to the weight room, thank you
Fergie Out !!!! come on lads ...sort it out and stick 3 past sunderland in the 2nd half Sunderland fans= Small time singing YNWA
Eagles has been our best player, Anderson seems to come in and out of the game, we need Saha! I also think that scholes is playing too deep.
