Manchester United Thread [2005/2006]

[Fernandez]

don't mind this

 

[barthez4]

We need to fire the coaching staff including ferguson. We need to bring a new era to United. Hire Del Bosque and bring already great players.

We need a midfielder urgently, I think if we make the right offer, say 50 M Euros, we could land Kaka'. He will be so good for our team.

You think we can get Kaka? You think Kaka would want to join a team that finishes LAST in a group with NONE of the world powers? We didn't have Chelsea or Barca or Juve or Milan or Lyon or Bayern in our group. We had Villarreal, Benfica, and Lille. And we could only win once, against Benfica, due to a fluke freekick.

Get real.

 

[ticcan]

Got what we deserved, nothing! we were awful

we created nothing, we didn't deserve anything

This is a wake up call that the faults we have can be hidden in the EPL, but in Europe it can't be

 

[Andrejs]

I wonder how much money we lost thanks to droping out so early...

 

[Fernandez]

15 million. We deserved it. 3 goals in six games? Some players need to go. Rio and Silves were awful today. Mis hit passes and awkward clearances. Probably if we had Keano there, it could have been a different outcome.

 

[ticcan]

Don't care about the money loss well except those Glazers ****s, I am more concern the way we played and how we have become a laughing stock in Europe this season.

I think what got exposed tonight was our lack of pace in central midfield and fullback, smith was sitting very deep and the benfica midfielders were having no trouble getting around scholes. and our fullbacks, especially o'shea were having a lot of trouble with the pace of their wingers

i just think we are too static on the field and our movement on and off the ball is nowhere near where it needs to be to be competitive at this level.

 

[x4dixont]

sack the boss, get rid of oshea, park and giggs and pay out 100m to get this team back on top where it should be, im disappointed in the whole team i thought they would have got their ass in gear when it mattered but obviously not

 

[mnj2x]

it was coming....i mean the united players were confused over the 1st goal thats how it remained..they were confused didnt know what to do became desperate. At least we can mount a serious title challenge but better dont slip up or else...bye bye to fergie i am afraid

 

[shrekiejai]

well there goes the new signings....
wonder if SAF will still be given the $$$ now that we've missed out on the big bucks..

 

[Stotty]

Don't worry, money will be well spent on jaidi, stephen davies and shefni kuqi.

 

[ladylover]

Man this hurts like hell, but it was fully deserved based on the performance, when Park came on he brought in a little spark which the team could use, but they didn't do anything, I hope SAF now realizes that this team needs something special. I am still confident SAF is the right man for the job, he is the same man that is responsible for this team's latest performances in the league and some peepz seem to forget that, the second goal was unlucky and Benfica didn't show class in the time-wasting, this was to obvious, atleast we can fully concentrate on the league and co. and put in a good fight. Oh man this wouldn't happen with Heinze, silly goals, we concede them to much
I think I know who SAF's summer target is by the way, silly of me not to notice it, I am quite confident that it is Udinese's Muntari, SAF has been chasing him for a while

 

[ZamundaMan]

We were sh1t, fvck it.

We need to be knocked out for the sake of stopping further embarassment.

Fergie should not be sacked...yet, he should be given until the end of the season mount a serious title challenge.

 

[ladylover]

I hope this doesn't affect the recent league form,

 

[mnj2x]

i m sick of FA cup plz give me the premeirship title fergie!!

man the united fans who at the stadium were let down by the team...united didnt create an awful lot. but benfica retained their reputation of playacting diving...etc..

 

[barthez4]

I hope this doesn't affect the recent league form,

We'll draw 0-0 to Wigan, and scrape by Everton 1-0 with a Yobo own goal this week.

 

[ladylover]

keeping a clean-sheet hasn't been easy recently,

 

[Hopeunited]

You Have Got To Be Sh1tting Me

 

[Seán D]

85% of the players should be sacked. this is unacceptable and disgraceful. i remember fergie saying before the match play it for george best - well did they? **** no!

 

[ericstarkid]

this is a new low

 

[ZamundaMan]

It sonds as if Ferguson knows his players are sh1t.

I give my team 10 out of 10 for determination and effort but in the end it was not to be.

For a manager to say that, it means that he knows his players are inferiour to that of the competition.

"You couldn't argue it was an unfair result, but I don't think it would have been unfair if we had got an equaliser either."

Again, it shows a level of helplessness.

"We probably lacked that experience and ability and when we needed top players they weren't there," he added.

That summed it all that, theres no real top players, and the ones on the pitch for United just didn't show up.
