Dave Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Pretty good, but we should have killed the tie. Four goals yet i'm still worried, that's not good. First-half diagnosis? Second-half diagnosis? Full-time diagnosis? Star man for United? Worst United player? Opposition comment? Toon-pros? Toon-cons? Post-match feelings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Great result tbh. They in no way lived up to their hype for me. Need to start the same team away me thinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Great start, but should have been so much better - while it may have been a whole lot WORSE. They'll concede on their own ground, while we damn well will if we make the same silly mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 christ, good result despite the away goals, we played very well for a lot of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 they'll have to be attacking constantly at theirs so i feel we can score two there, which would leave them needing 4 just to draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Very good result but still feel a bit gutted! I know people are going to lay into Taylor but I thought that was a little harsh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hagler Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 got to start just as fast in the second leg...cause they slowly started comming back into it tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 class result altho i think they got lucky with that pen and the decision Their attacking play overall wasn't that special. They scored through poor defending and a penalty which from the pre game bigging up of their attacking flair, you would think they would of done better.

mouldy_uk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Annoyed that we gifted them two easy goals but I thought it was a pretty positive result overall. I really fancy us to score one or more in the away leg so I think we have a really good chance. All the players put in a decent shift, though Duff could have easily had a bigger impact. Carr did ok though wasn't really tested much. Butt or Solano would be my MOTM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 At 3-0 after 20mins its stupid to have let them score 2, but 4-2 is decent enough. Martins - fucking class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpies_rawk Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i agree that while on one hand, i feel gutted to have conceded the 2nd goal, the thing is that if i were given 4-2 at the start of the match,i'd take it. AZ is a lot of hype? Maybe, but we've seen how dangerous they are at the break. This tie is by no means laid in stone but i'd say we are in with a great chance, no?

James Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Even though we conceded two away goals, it is still ours to lose. The defence, like the rest of the team were outstanding tonight against an outstanding team. Their first goal was undefendable, the second was just one of those bad pieces of luck. Player ratings: Given 8 Solano 9 Bramble 9 Taylor 7 Carr 7 Dyer 8 Parker 9 Butt 8 Duff 8 Sibierski 8 Martins 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Can't forget the contribution of Sibbers, a fucking CLASS flick for the Dyer goal (if that was Henry it would be shown for years), and great pass to Oba for his first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It is a very good result, absolutely no two ways about it. We've scored four goals; we don't do that very often and to do it at this stage, against this team, is brilliant. I was so pleased by that first half - we were absolutely scintillating - no exaggeration. It's disappointing that they got another. I don't think they really deserved it tbh. They weren't good going forward and they were shit defensively. Them scoring that second goal didn't do justice to an all-round decent performance from the defense. Even Carr put in a good shift. And as bad as the penalty was, there was nothing we could do about the follow-up. I'm usually the first to lay into Bramble, but he had about half a second to stop the ball from going in there. It was unfortunate. Thought the penalty was a little bit harsh tbh. His hands were well tucked in and it would have hit his stomach. But anyway, if someone had offered me 4-2 beforehand, i'd have bitten their hand off. One goal i feel over there should secure it. *Remembers what he said before the Lisbon game* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I think we deserved our three goal lead. Their back four looked a bit ponderous. The penalty decision was one of the most unintelligent that I've seen. Taylor had his arms pressed right down by his sides, in order to minimise the risk of handling it. I think the ref knew the minute he'd made the decision that he'd bungled. If a defender goes towards the ball with his arms flapping all over the place, that invites suspicion, but Taylor was doing the dead opposite. Some good individual performances. Titus produced the tackle of the season to prevent a near certain goal. Duff showed a few moments of real class as well. Nobby created a lot down the right. Looks a bit 50-50 now. A 2-0 win will see them through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
