nani and ronaldo trying to pull us out the shit. well done.
its a shame the same cant be said about our senior players....
ive said it once and ive say it again by january anderson and nani will have replaced scholes and giggs in our strongest team. giggs isnt a striker and is played there because he isnt good enough to play as an out and out winger anymore. |

Yeah, I saw Scholes after the game. He told me he couldn't be arsed as it was still summer time and he would rather be on holiday. He said he never really tries to rescue United when we're in the shit - he'd rather let the more professional players at the club do their bit. He said he expected Anderson to replace him for the Pompey game and that he was thinking of joining Sunderland before the transfer window closes so that he can team up with his mate Kiers.

You have to give Scholes a few games, it usually takes him a little bit of time to get into his groove.
To be fair Reading did a very good job defensively today, i really wouldnt be too critical, the fact is United will get stronger as the season goes along and there wont be many teams that can live with us. For me if this game showed anything, it's how important Saha is for us, with him playing today we would have won the game. No point blaming individual players for us not winning though; it's a team game - it takes a team to create chances and if the chances are good enough any one of our players should have the ability to put the ball in the net. |

Fair play to reading though, they defended well. I can just imagine the training ground work teams will be doing prior to playing united at OT. 5 defenders against 9 attackers for hours and hours until they start to cover all areas of defense and can block all runs and one-twos. I dont think there will be more than a handful of classic open flowing football games at OT this year - might as well get used to that sort of tactic. |

We sure as £#%&! can't have Giggs playing in that 'free role'. Suits him to the ground at times, he can just go awol. I'd rather see Anderson play there. Like he did for Porto.
But then I'd also like to see Saha and Tevez up top. Nani/Giggs and Ronnie on the wings. 1 point after three games in. Mark my words. We don;t need another striker apparently. We can rely on Ole and Saha. FFS. Head out of the sand please Fergie or just admit there's no cash left.... |

It's amazing really.
We were top heavy with wingers yesterday & yet there was no service all day from wide areas...oh, & we had a leftback playing on the left wing I've said before that I think all that switching around of positions up front can often result in untidy, directionless football (especially at Old Trafford) I was £#%&!ing dying to see Rooney & Tevez forming a partnership Football really can rip the £#%&!ing piss out of you at times. 3 months without football. All that pent up frustration, dying to get it back. 4 terrific signings over the summer. Rooney looking outstanding in pre-season. Defending Champions. unfortunately the reality of that was - A dull as £#%&! 0-0 draw against a well-organised team of mediocrity. All 4 signings unavailable to start (for whatever reason) Rooney breaks his foot. O'Shea plays up front. & just to give it that extra bite, City & Liverpool (as well as Arsenal & Chelsea) all £#%&!ing win. YCNMIU |

Had exactly the same feeling last night. Waited so long.....to be let down straight away. I was so excited by the prospect of Rooney this season. Best pre season yet and a title under his belt. He must be devastated. |

We have to face it, some of the teams that come for a 0-0 will succeed. Others will concede early and get thrashed. The omens looked bad yesterday when we had to play the second half with no recognised strikers against a well disciplined team. |

Ok, great free kick but shouldn't have been given. |

He got there and got a hand to it. When you consider he also used his right hand on a left hand side shot, it's should've been kept out. That free kick would not have beaten Cech or any other of the top keepers in the league. |

Gutted for Rooney too, really thought this would be his most productive season in a United shirt. Still might be. Guess it's better for him to get this injury now, then during March/April time, when we may be in the running for major silverware. |

I'm worried about both Scholes and Giggs...well I'm worried they're seen as first teamers no matter what.
Firstly, Scholes; Yes, he is the "ginger prince", yes, he is a "genius" (or was), yes he is a great professional and a local boy, but for them 'great' moments you get off Scholes (which are exaggerated because it is Scholes) does that mean you can accept him not doing much else in the team? Is it worth starting him every game just at the hope of one bit of 'genius'? He should be used as a 31/32 year old player now which he is. He tires easily in games now and his impact on the game as a whole is fading a lot, Fergie shouldn't be scared of using Scholes differently now. He gets away with a lot because he is a great professional and a local lad, there's so many times you think during a game "what the £#%&! is Scholes doing at the moment?" Maybe it's time to start letting go of the past. Giggs; Giggs can be good in spells still but like Scholes tires easily now and can have a spell of a few months not doing much yet will get praised and it will be claimed he has had a great season from say a certain period in the season where he created a lot of goals. He still seems to go into "flicky" mood in a lot of games when we're chasing it, i.e, he'll canter about doing shitty flicky passes for no reason, the whole team can be guilt of this now. Again, time to use him differently. In general my main worry from Sunday is that it was very similar to games the years before last season, like we have gone out there thinking it's already won and the players get complacent. |
