FWIW on paper anyway, even minus Rooney/Ronnie/Saha we've still had the players to do a better job than they have done. There are many reasons why they haven't both the players and manager need to take responsibility and act quick. However I'm not so sure Fergie still has it in him and I honestly don't know whether he really knows what to do with the new signings.
It's hardly a secret that he would have preferred to wait another 12months for Nani and Anderson but the club felt others would step in, they certainly would have in ANderson's case, but I doubt either will be happy to sit on the bench for an entire season. They've got to get minutes and I just worry that they'll be shoehorned in at the expense of others. Rock n roll anyway, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Wouldn't want it any other way. Life's dull enough as it is. |

We don't play next week. As for being in the shit - we're two points off the leaders with 33 games to go. It hasn't been pretty so far but it will get good. |

I doubt Ronaldo will do a £#%&!ing thing against Everton. He'll be ineffective since he hasn't played for 3 games and will try too hard to impress. In fact I'll be £#%&!ing amazed if we come away with a point let alone all three.
Feel free to bump this back up if Utd win. I'll be gutted I guess. |

The idea that we didn't create "enough good chances" to score in those first 3 games is bizarre - we created the chances to win all 3 games. What we didn't do is take them. I won't go through the chances because if you don't want to admit we made them you won't want to hear the facts either.
As for keeping the ball in the corner against Sunderland? It was the last couple of minutes, and I enjoyed watching United take the piss for the first time in the game - it was pretty clear to everyone in the ground that we were not going to score again by that point anyway. Saha was just having fun AND doing his job ffs. What is wrong with some of you people? |

we should have our own standards. £#%&! it, we could have a cushion for when we play crap. you know... there might be a period during the season where we can't score because we don't have much idea up front. did you see anelka's goal? and his crossing? what about that torres fella? berbatov looked a bit tasty. again. |

In fact, I think we had enough efforts against Reading to win all 5 games this season. |

We got a striker on a 2 year loan deal. Despite all the huff and puff in the press I think that speaks volumes atm. Any cash for players was probably spent on the other three (and the PiG). Not forgetting the other £7million for Carrick. I can think of 1 of the other 3 that we don't really need at present and would happily swap him for a Berbatov or a Huntelaar.
Utd were probably skint Jem but Gill et al were too shy to admit it. The @#%&!s. |

The Sunderland game was dire, hence the piss-taking at the end was a highlight. Hopefully by the time Derby come to town we'll be flowing and the team will keep its glory-hunters happy with a 5 goal blitz. |

If we're going to play 4-3-3 then we need a midfielder with some energy in there, to break from deep. That would be Anderson for me when he's settled. But that's just my opinon. If it's 4-4-2 then again I'd like to see Anderson on the left Hargreaves in the middle alongside Scholes or Carrick. I don't like picking players on their past records, I'm more interested in the here and now and like others if they're puttingi in shit shifts I'd like to see them dropped from time to time. I can just see Fergie having this approach with other players, not the stalwarts if that makes sense. Taking Anderson off at half time yesterday was daft IMO does nothing for the lads confidence. He could have quite easily brought Saha on for Eagles, played ANderson wide left in his preferred role and Nani on the right. Job done. Mind you once the CL kicks in I cannot see Giggs and Scholes playing every game so I'll probably get my wish and look pretty £#%&!ing foolish. |

What worries me is that Carrick looked lost when he was on the park with scholes and hargreaves and he's not the type of personality to start being agressive and making sure he gets more of the ball than the others, probably because he's so much of a team player and the truth is he shouldnt have to do that. Hopefully this can all be worked out over the next few weeks and some sort of regular pattern will emerge that works for everyone. I personally hate to see a player like carrick suffer because he has done nothing wrong for the club since joining, it's only new players and formations that are throwing him off, and i think thats something the coaching team need to get sorted rather fast. |
