We'll play down to the level of our competition...it seems to be the trend as of late. I have no prediction on the outcome...but I sincerely hope that the 11 players that take the field that day play with a passion and fire that was missing against the 'Dippers.

but really, some people start threads for games noone gives a **** weeks ahead. i dont mean this one, but alot of threads pop up, and im like, woo, good game, then i check it, oh its in a month. who the **** gives a **** about usa - mexico? maybe three, four days before the game, so you can debate whats to debate, and the thread isnt dead by the time the game comes. i agree games like CL finals, or **** like that, can be started a week earlier, but thats the max.

I'll go for 0-0 draw or 1-0 Blackburn win.

You are an idoit. It is a big game for us. It is a rivralry game and we do care just because you don't doesn't mean the game is worthless. If you don't care about the game then don't read the thread.

As for ManU I think they will win based on how awful Blackburn is.

Jonathan Spector is the American guy right?

I thought van Nistelrooy missed Liverpool game because of his bust-up with Bellion, so he is missing this game because he injured.

Fernandez
01-05-2004, 10:05:PM
Poor half by our standards. There were a couple of decent crosses but no one gambled. Oh how we really need van Nistelrooy. And there is plenty of space for Gary to run on the right. :rolleyes:

Giggs can't play upfront, only option now, maybe bring Bellion on the 2nd half to partner Solskjaer upfront. :rolleyes:

01-05-2004, 10:10:PM
What kind of a ****in` formation was that ? Yeah we`ve lost the league, but at least try to win the remaining matches by puttin` the best players there. Djemba-Djemba pissed me off with his needless ball flicks tricks. Jesus ****in` Christ he really needs to learn that no matter how many juggles he can make, it the ball ain`t in the back of the opposite net, it`s all ****in` useless !!!!! PASS IT LOW AND SIMPLE FOR ****`s SAKE !!!!!!!

01-05-2004, 10:12:PM
Defence a little shakey,but much better as the game wore on...

Kleberson and Ole are the only ones that look like making anything happen.

Some neat passing by Kleb but no runners in to space,we need another target man in the box.... Bellion, Forlan?

Crap, missing Ruud and Saha. :(

Are Ronaldo, Ruud and Saha really injured or just being rested?

I think Ronaldo is being rested since he didn't get injured during our game against Sweden, and I'm doubtful he'd be trained so hard after that match and this match.

Sell Forlan, that useless crap. HE helped us a lot last season, but this season it's been total shiat from him. And Fergie better have a good explanation why neither Saha, Ruud or Ronaldo were in the game, after all they are our 3 main attacking players. And then Keane? Now only a win at OT next week and a win against Villa with a hope that Leeds draws Chelsea, will do it.

what a disappointing display! we dont deserve the freakin 2nd spot. just give it to chelsea and get over it!

just like that.
while chelsea seem to be taking even their ending games as title games although they know they will not win it,man utd are just letting the games pass by.
ferguson although a genious,he has this history with him regarding his mood.
he has tinkered TOO much this season
i'd say that djemba ,butt,bellion,forlan are of NO use.
every player shows a sign of a skill,but for how long do we have to wait?
man utd looked awfull today.
with one exception-ryan giggs.
he has always been there this seasonhis performance today was fine.we looked like a team with only 2-3 players.
very bad.
i know man utd can change things next season,and they will but the ruud and keano thing is really eatin' my head up!!!

very frustrating week for man utd supporters:(

I am pretty disgusted, like most Man. United fans with the performance. There was no objective, no impact on the Blackburn goal. To be fair, the 14 players that played deserve to get criticism. The passing is terribly awful and is even lower imo, than the standards set by most of the Division 1 clubs. Fergie should get some blame too. We were playing a disorganised formation with P. Neville and Butt as wingers. We were terrible in attack. How many attempts have we managed that made Friedel worked?
We really are playing footbore and I'd expect some changes to be made particular with Silvestre, O'Shea, Djemba-Djemba, P. Neville and some others axed from the match next week. I have to agree with shokz, they are overpaid. The crowd has been roaring, but have the team?

Congratulations to Blackburn though, especially Gallagher and Stead. It was a quality pass from Gallagher to Stead, and a quality finish from the latter. Stead will be a big star in the future.

It's now mathematically impossible for us to finish second anyway.
As for Forlan, it's entirely not his fault we lost. The players that were playing before him have to get some of the blame for not creating decent chances.

Fking gutless performance… how many losses by 0-1 to bottom-half teams?? This squad is weak. Period. When the squad players come in for the “lesser matches”… Time to rip it apart and upgrade (ie. finance new acquisitions by clearing out the old rubbish) the back-up squad members to anything approaching Man Utd back-up standard. Need a new on-pitch leader… without Keane, there isn’t an inspirational or cajoling character to urge everyone on.

Forlan bashers are f'king retarted. Im sick and tired of this. Last season he played amazing, saves United from losing the title (in numerous ocations....unarguable for you idiots who want to start up with your stats)

What does Fergie do? Bench him. He places him on the bench. Gives him about 5 minutes of play EVERY 5 GAMES.....And He STILL manages to score and play amazing.

If u seen forlan's interviews from Uruguay, ud know how he feels. Just look at him. He doesnt give a Sh*t anymore. its almost as if hes depressed playing.
Theres going to be teams diving head first to pick him up. Even Barcelona's coach (i think him or Valencia's) (almost a year ago), stated that Forlan was pretty wasted in United.

Internationally he plays amazing (ask brazil:hump: ) United plays like CRAP for the whole season, and ur gonna blame it on a Forlan miss or that he plays 5 minutes a game?
Even Rud Van (hes good ...ok....but its pretty hard not to score when EVERY PLAY in United's arsenal are writtien to just "Pass it to Rud when hes in the box". Imagine United without Rud? Oh man. How bout this? Blame it on Fergie! Like, really. Wow. Im shocked that People can be so thick headed that they wont regognize the "great" Fergie as the one who should leave because United has been playing like crap for years.
