Dave Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 just on my way back from this, we matched them well until berbatov scored, looked offside from our view, was it? After that we just seemed to crumble and jonas and jose's heads went down. Our problem is we want too much time on the ball and don't get enough men forward. Perch had a mare btw, totally out of his depth. Nah, Carroll played him on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 also this love in for scholes, the guy is fine against teams like NUFC who will give him space, against teams like city, he won't get that kind of space Bad example, given what happened in April.

Jayson Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thought Jonas was impressive tbh when i watched. Didnt catch much of the first goal, but looked to me like he had stepped up a level. Went past his marker several times, was dribbling across the width of the pitch at times with the ball to try to open things up. Just didnt have much support atall.

Mick Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Steve Taylor is a central defender not a RB despite everyone getting carried away by a few decent runs down the flank. I've always preferred Stave Taylor in the centre but at this time he's the best we've got for right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Didn't see the second half as clearly as I'd have liked to. Biggest single critical thing to say would regard our lack of attacking pace and verve. Broadly appreciated the attitude shown, though. Call me on the 1st of September and we'll talk.

A couple of flashy runs as a stand-in doesn't qualify him for the accolades in my view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Jonas is going to be useful because of his athleticism and excellent work rate, but a part me looks at him and wishes we had a genuine threat on the LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Harper 6, Perch 5, Enrique 7, Williamson 6, Colo 6, Jonas 5, Routledge 5, Barton 6, Smith 5, Nolan 4, Carroll 6 A cliche but the fans tonight were fantastic, great support throughout and some amusing Rooney abuse. I'm glad the shitbag wasn't involved and the Mexican didn't score who the Man Utd fans seem to think is the heir to Cantonas crown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackbelts Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Well, man u were quick on the break, we played well for 30 mins and then our defence remembered how they used to play, poor first goal from berbatov as I reckon harper could have got that! Mind you, on the subject of berbatov, if you can't do bicycle kicks, leave them well alone, he's no peter crouch! Were better with lovenkrands but anyway, season starts at villa yeah?

JJ7 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I thought both Williamson and Coloccini defended well considering the ammount of posession Manchester United had. Both could have maybe done better on the second goal, but other than that they did well. Man Utd didnt create too many clear cut chances despite having nearly all of the ball.
