Manchester United F.C Thread [2009/2010]

[adedawson]

I'm worried, not only do we have to wait for our players to return... we will then have to wait before there back at there best. Don't think we can afford to lose another game.

 

[Help?]

Chelsea got a lucky penalty call and ended up tieing 1-1, they are not doing too well either.

well if nothing else it makes the table much more interesting reading. aston villa within striking distance of 1st at christmas? whoda thunk?

Fergie said:

"We hope that Wes Brown will be back in a week or 10 days' time, Rio Ferdinand is improving, Gary Neville is getting there and Rafael Da Silva has now started training.

"We are not so bad and we are not looking at signing players."

The next update regarding injuries is expected on Christmas Eve morning (Thursday), when the manager meets the media for his weekly press conference.

No point in buying any defenders in January if most of our defenders will be back by January. Looks like we'll be playing with Carrick, De Laet again this coming weekend. Maybe Evra - Carrick - De Laet - Fabio. Still no proper centre half. Hopefully its the last week we're playing Carrick in defence.

Rafael, Vidic and Neville are doubtful and could be back for this game. Hopefully one of Vidic or Neville is back before the game on Sunday.

to be honest the main problem is the lack of creativity and killer passes in midfield area.


plus our away form is simply horrible.

Mikey and Dipanjan, didn't post for a long time. where are you guys?

 

[Mandieta6]

Mikey's been here more than you lately and dipanjan has cancer.

 

[adedawson]

I wish we had a Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke partnership again... that was special. memories, some cracking goals there.



Pity we don't get games like this any more... United vs barca 1998 - 12 goals.

unlike what some people think about me, I'm not here to argue and fight, I'm here to discuss different issues and enjoy the game.

but I don't know why people attack me unfairly after some typical posts, I don't like any second of it at all. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't response ...

anyway, I hope Dipanjan get well soon. I think United fans are a bit disappointed by current results. to be honest, this year's league is very crazy, we lost 5 matches and are still just 4 points behind leaders.

I miss team 1999. They were playing amazing football, they were a very good combination to each other.

 

[Mandieta6]

You said Mikey's not been here in a long time, and he's been here more than you lately, he posted this weekend if I'm not mistaken. No one's arguing with you.

Sorry to read about Dipanjan, I wish him the best.

It seems we are in talks with L'OM's Hatem Ben Arfa:

[Help?]

Yeah, we haven't had a partnership like Cole and Yorke since

Some good old memories Getting nostalgic. Btw how many goals have they scored together?

Concerning Ben Arfa, Fergie said several times he won't be adding to the squad this January.

 

[kp41]

am I the only one who misses Classic Beckham crosses and Cole/York/Sheringham headers!!!!

how many goals United scored with headers this year, very few!!!!

 

[MikeyM]

I was actually hoping/expecting United to revert to that style of play after Ronaldo left. Valencia whipping in the crosses and Berba and Wazza getting on the end of them. In addition to our usual quick counter attacking. It's just when Ronaldo came he began to play in a free role which dominated our attacking patterns. This is exactly why I would love to see Aaron Lennon or Ashley Young at Old Trafford.

I know a large part of the problem is the awful injury list, but I've still felt that we've lost some of the potency in attack and that has also cost us points.

I'm not being critical just for the sake of it, this is honestly how I feel about United's situation, especially with Milan upcoming in the Champions League and Arsenal breathing down our necks in third.

oh yeah..we're comin' alright .. as speedy as a raging bullet .

 

[kp41]

Most of our defenders are injury prone and Fergie should know it better than anyone else, so it's to risky to count on them, he should bring a solid defender as a back-up.

btw, will Diouf join us in January?

 

[ladylover]

Yeah I remember SAF saying not to long ago that he wants to add Mame to the squad next month
