Manchester United F.C Thread [2010/2011]

[cfdemarco]

City and West Brom did us huge favors today.

We damn well better win tomorrow.

What a Saturday round of fixtures. Crazy results. We HAVE to take advantage..NO 2 ways about it. but i know we will screw it up.

 

[cfdemarco]

but i know we will screw it up.

LOL...see if I said something like that, all the overly-sensitive people around here would jump all over me.

LOL...see if I said something like that, all the overly-sensitive people around here would jump all over me.

haha..the reason i said that is because the united way is always the hard way. It is part of our tradition..we make life as difficult as we can for ourselves but somehow go on to become champions.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Yes Chelsea's form is worrying but to be fair, they played against below par teams so far. West Ham, Stoke, Blackpool, Wigan etc... All would probably be in the bottom half of the table at the end of the season. Whereas United have played Fulham, Everton and Liverpool: all 3 competing for the Europa or even the UCL. So thats kind of reassuring. Plus I would count Charity Shield as well since they were full-strength. This showed that they are not really unbeatable.

The Man City game would be the real test... If they win that game by a big margin I'd be very worried. I hope they get overconfident and lose points. I'm hoping for a draw for them because I want both Chelsea and Man City to lose points.

Now who was right? They won 6-0 against bottom table teams this season but failed against us and City.






Yes I have a feeling as well that we'll screw up Thats Bolton... A very tricky one. We MUST win that. We'll be only 1 point from Chelsea then.

 

[Mandieta6]

We're only 6 matches in, you're not right yet.

 

[Pogba4Now]

I was right that the City game was the first real test and that you're not really unbeatable even though you can totally trash bottom table teams. You guys are definitely favourites but I'm sure that'll come down as a 2 horse race yet again. Liverpool is no longer in the Big 4. Its not the "Big 3" but we all know Arsenal will stumble and fall.

Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal all lost this week and Liver-poo just drew Sunderland. We better NOT screw up

******* Zat Knight

Now we'll see them park the bus for sure.

EDIT: NANI! Wow breathtaking goal. That was very Ronaldo-esque.

Bolton are playing very very well btw.

 

[AlienSeafood]

interesting to see Nani in Adizero's

 

[mnj2x]

what did i tell you guys...i dont see us winning this now.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Owen. 2-2. Still hope left. Bolton are playing very well and deserve at least something IMO.

We're playing a weird formation now.

---------VDS

OShea - Vidic - Evans

--------------------------Evra

Nani ---- Scholes -- Park

---Owen - Berbatov - Macheda

 

[Pogba4Now]

2-2. Bolton deserved the point. We did well but Bolton were very good as well so fair result.

Bad result for us but on the positive side, we got 1 point closer to Chelsea. Owen has showed that he can still be useful as a sub.

 

[mnj2x]

Well..we messed up as predicted. Nobody to blame but We could do with a few clean sheets from hereon in.

 

[mnj2x]

oh and what the heck is up with our corners. Always going for the near post. Cant beat the first man. Annoying as hell.

 

[cfdemarco]

Despicable performance. Where to begin...

So many parties are at fault but this loss (because that's what it really was) is on Evra in my opinion. Bolton's first goal today was at least the 3rd goal I can recall since last season we have given up solely because we don't know how to cover a post on a corner kick. WHAT WAS EVRA DOING 4 FEET FROM THE POST?? His responsibility was to mark the post which means you PUT YOUR ARM AROUND IT and stay right there. And then on the next Bolton corner, what do you know, he is on the goal line but four feet from the post AGAIN. Does United seriously need to hire me so I can teach our defenders how to mark a post on a corner kick?

O'Shea was garbage, Evans was garbage, Fletcher was garbage. Scholes didn't run the midfield like usual.

Rooney was garbage, and more importantly, he was acting like a child for the second straight week. When he punched the ball on the offsides call I was really hoping he was going to get carded because there is NO EXCUSE for that kind of behavior. Glad he came off and honestly I don't want to see him on the field again until he learns to behave like an adult.

Only 6 games in and we have already dropped points to 3 ****ty teams. By rights we should be 6-0 right now.

Nani, Berbs, Owen and Kiko all get free passes today because they were the only 4 guys who looked like they wanted to win today.

 

[Payaah]

What up with our defence lately? We already conceded 9 goals in 6 games. This is pretty much the same defence that was on a clean sheet run few seasons ago. They made Elmander look like Drogba today geez. And Rafael should be playing at RB.

Nani was outshanding again. He was involved in all our last 10 PL goals.

 

[VanTheMan]

I agree Payaah


The ferdinand thing is wierd..
fergie plays him midweek and puts him TOTALLY out for the weekends..
its bullcrap

O shea just cant play on the right and support pace.. Rafael needs to be given the nod
rooney has been utterly garbage..its astonishing..
Fletcher had 5 misplaced passes in a row today...

and ya i agree with cfdemarco and mnj2x..
our corners are dismal...they rarely beat the first man....

nani is really becoming different class now..thats the only good note...

but rooney's form is a huge worry..this is a long long dip in form for him..its too many games for the so called boy wonder.

 

[adedawson]

aye the only good thing from the past few games is how good Nani, and Berba have been looking. I think you can add Owen to that list now. 3 Goals in 6 games, cant be bad.

Our defence really needs to step up, I'm not sure what's causing it, but it needs fixing. Just look at Evra, he's usually our most consistent player.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Its the absence of Ferdinand. He used to lead the defense perfectly. Why was he on the bench today?

Evra has been piss poor this season. I hope he picks up.

 

[cfdemarco]

Giggs is out of the Valencia game by the way.

I would overhaul the entire team for Valencia. Berbs and Chicharito up front, Nani and Park on the wings, Anderson and Carrick in the middle.
