Guest Knightrider Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 It was Dyer's fault, he was marking Scholes and when the ball went wide, he followed the ball, despite there being two of our men there to try and deal with it. Once played back to Scholes he was free to aim and shoot, Dyer basically made up the mind of the Man Utd player on the ball (to pass to the unmarked Scholes) and Scholes himself (to shoot).

Guest JamesD Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 yea, but if dyer leaves scholes, it doesn't mean parker should rush over and triple team ronaldo and leave scholes wide open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makemeacupoftea Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Wasn't anyones fault really, just happens, Man utd are a class team and Paul Scholes always scores against us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 It would have been nice if any one of the five defenders had committed themselves to blocking it - by going to ground for example - instead of just waving their legs at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Shut up, of course it was Parker's fault. It's Parker's fault we're in this position. In fact, it's Parker's fault we were beaten to the title in 96. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's Parker's fault we were beaten to the title in 96. Well if Parker hadn't made that advert for Macdonalds back in 94 then one of our players wouldn't have seen it and hence the course of time would have been DRASTICALLY altered and we would have won the title.

Howaythelads Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've never really been into this allocating of blame business. Never will be either. It's overall performances and contribution that matter most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesD Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 All i'm saying is that for the second goal, it was very poor defending from parker and dyer, but parker was in more of a position to mark scholes. It reminded me of childrens football where the players just follow the ball around, which i noticed parker doing quite a few times this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of that, tbh, but I think that was mainly down to good movement from Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 The ball shouldn't have been able to drop at Ronaldo's feet in the first place. The cross from Park passed 3-4 Newcastle shirts that didn't even try and intercept. 3 players then were caught ball watching and left Scholes free in the centre. Bad defending for that goal overall on most players parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Why not just credit Man Ure with some good use of the ball and good movemnt off it to create the chance. We cannot whinge on how they got to create the opening, if anything Roeder will be asking why there was no one breaking their neck to get infront of Scholes when he received the ball, we all know he is a great striker of a football and there is always a risk of him banging it in if you stand off him. Just seems there is a lot of Parker bashing goimg on at the moment on here, Parker did his job yesterday and kept Rooney out of the game for long periods of time.

Guest Imperio Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I thought Parker had a good game last night, everyone played well so why can't we not just enjoy the fact that we got an unexpected point instead of reverting back to slating Parker.

Oh dear, I must have been logged in as my daughter and I'm not sure that she remembers Clarence Acuna or would use language like that! But seriously, everyone to his or her own but are there really NUFC supporters who truly believe that Clarence was a better defensive midfielder than Parker....? I can only think of David Batty that I would be as happy with in that role... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
