much better performance, that. just lacking the finish but we're getting there. they'll improve with each match now - this was really the first match where we didn't look like we were still in pre-season.
pluses: park - excellent performance fletcher - key player in m/f today. an excellent performance. on current form he has to be the first pick in m/f for us for the next few matches evans - excellent composure, very good distribution, got forward well. certainly didn't look like the inexperienced youngster that he is, very impressive. ronnie - not up to speed but back ![]() rooney - creative, hardworking, clearly in some form. must be played up front. hargreaves - good hour under his belt minuses: we only achieve a high tempo sporadically atm (and when we do we suddenly look capable of ripping teams apart) neville - wtf has happened to his crossing? nani - decent game overall but far too many crosses hitting the first defender anderson - just doesn't look anywhere near form to me. poor passing, terrible shooting. let's hope he can play himself into some form soon. still, today at least we looked like a united side and showed some coherence and organisation. on the up ![]() |

Borsuk - pretty much agree with all of that and well put.
Towards he end, I really thought Fletcher was going to get on the end of a move and be through on goal - he and Park were really good I thought. Also struggling to see how SAF can drop Tevez - his work ethic is superb. |

Don't think we played that badly given the personal out there. Fletcher and Hargreaves in the middle, no real sharp/incisive creativity as expected, but both did well enough. Park, first game back, did well. Nani ok if a bit wasteful from set pieces. Evans - no problem there, should have scored.
They have the best defence in the Spanish league for me, two superb centre backs, and are a good side. Will be different at theirs, especially if Nihat is fit. Wonderful little player. They'll at least have a go for 90mins. I do however have an issue with our attacking play though, it's shit atm. Clumsy and sluggish in the main. Do we coach players not to shoot from distance these days, do players not work on it (Anderson take £#%&!ing note)? This sluggishness though is the main problem for me. Tevez apart, I'd bet an awful lot of money that we don't have single play approaching a decent standard of match fitness and sharpness. £#%&!ing dreading Sunday. |

Pass pass pass, the utd sides of yesteryear thinking of the 98-2002 teams were far more clinical in front of goal. |

wes for neville will probably be the only change at the back for the weekend. i'd hope for a central m/f three against chelsea: fletcher, scholes and hargreaves, with berbatov up front and tecezf and rooney droppin back to m/f when we lose the ball. |
