If course the manner of the way we draw is not acceptable. I seriously doesn't know what the hell happens in that 3 minutes.

What also not acceptable is that ppl already written off our chances after 4 games.

karma is biting us in our buttock sweat.gif everytime score late winners (against city). Now we must be mentally prepared to be scored a late winner from City tongue.gif

jokes aside, anyone else thinks our right back position is in a little trouble right now? If i remembered correctly, the two goals conceded was like from header and a shot after we cleared a header right? Was it from the cross from the right side? Its definately disturbing to find Neville not in his best shape anymore, some rather silly tackles. And his backup, John O'Shea not so in form, i mean, frankly, he did not play well to me. Maybe injury or what, but still.. not so impressive on the right side. Rafael is too inexperience, well i hope he learns from his red card against Bayern so that he won't repeat the mistake again. Since our right back position kinda a bit cacat-ed ed, why don't we let Rafael have a run at it. See if he can outshine his seniors.

In 92-93 season, Steve Bruce's famous two stoppage time goals became the catalyst to our march for the first Premier League Title.

Who knows with Everton's 2 goals in stoppage time will give us a kick in the back side. Better to happen now that in last game of the season.

well, at least the team knows they can't afford any more slip ups. it can be a good wake up call like u said, a win against liverpool will be a good starting point. and im sure alot of fans here will feel much better if we win against them, myself included. hoping for a good weekend:)

@Boxy, aku paham how you feels. Masa end of season 2010 ramai poster dah bash Berba kata dia dah tua lah buat rugi duit lah. Skrg sapa yang perform and top scorer Utd? I learn from my mistakes when I kutuk Fletcher many seasons ago. Thats why I keep saying give Berba some slack.

Skrg ni semua whining pasai draw 2 kali nih. Macam budak-budak bila mak tak kasi 2posen nak beli gula gula.

I don't mind that we got off to a bad start to the season.
I've followed United and on a few occasions they do have glitches.
I have confidence in them no doubt.
Forever a Devil I am.

The players only got themselves to blame due to the two late goals. Again, as has been reiterated by many in this forum, they switched off. Thinking of getting the win instead of playing properly. I didn't watch the second half. Dragged to my cousin's for Raya. Was disappointed that the players lost the lead in the very dying minutes. That being said, Everton has always been a pain in the arse for us.

For me, my personal POV, I don't really mind if theres any argument here, let it be a sarcastic, or whatever it is. Different people have a different temper, I think. Temper, I'm not sure if that's the right word but, more or less. For me, it'll be more fun like this, as long as posters doesn't mock the players. Example, Berba. Easy. It's not correct to name-calling a new/regular poster here, but if the poster tend to post things that make him looks like one, who else you have to blame?

It's a good thing though, the thread is no longer quiet. Happening. biggrin.gif

Anyway performance wise, I can say I was pretty dissapointed with the result, and our back line. Evra and our Caps seems not really on focus, give away a slack defending, thus leading to the goals. And Evans, hope he can be more consistent. The person that shut Drogba doesn't seems to be himself lately. Still young I guess.

Oh and I'm very happy Vidic scores again. rclxms.gif Long time de since the last time he scored.

I can understand why Sir Alex didn't want to rush Rafael in RB slot. The kid needs more experience and stiff competition with experience RB. The fact is that Rafael has a lot of talent but at the same time he always makes rash or 'rugby' tackles. It is better to let him play on odd games.

Well,he certainly won't be gaining experience sitting on the bench shakehead.gif

I want to see Rafael or neville start at RB instead of JOS. Nevilles crossing will definitely come in handy when we play Berba and Rooney on top again.

Yes but he can play as sub or easier league or cup games. No harm done if JOS play. He is a decent RB with a lot experience. Sure he is slower and doesn't cross a lot but his positioning and knowing time to tackle. Therefore JOS is better choice. As for Gary , he is more reliable than JOS if he is fit which is rarely now.

Just hope Hargreaves comes back and he can fill RB slot against big teams. tongue.gif

nope it was in fact from o'sheas side, he should have marked his men better.and i dont think any of our back 4 is in threat, they just need a very very good wake call.yes even o'shea is still needed no matter how bad some deem him.remember last season??we could have stopped a lot of pts from slipping if we just had him fit.he is rather one of those unknown, under profile players that wont be bothered to be given the credit but when you dont have him, in a pinch and you start wondering. wait till we get to the hectic period of nov-dis, then we surely will need every able bodied players we have.so far the league hast fired on all cylinders yet, and even the relegation spots contenders arent worried about it.

one thing we can be thankful about.as apparent in that match, we do have match winners when rooney is out/not in form.

Neville parts with armband

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Gary Neville will no longer wear the captain's armband at Manchester United.

The veteran full-back has held the honour since Roy Keane departed the club in 2005.

However, injuries have taken their toll over recent seasons and he is no longer a first-team regular.

Taking that into account, Ferguson is keen to pass the armband on to someone who is a mainstay in his plans.

He feels continuity on the field is important and believes Neville is no longer capable of playing the number of games required from an on-field leader.

"Gary is still club captain but I have been looking for someone who is going to be playing consistently every week," said Ferguson.

"Over the last two or three years we have had to pass the baton along the line a few times.

Respect

"We have not had a consistent captain because Gary's injuries have prevented him playing all the time. If he was available all the time he would be the captain. He would have been on Saturday (against Everton). But I have to look at the overall picture.

"With all due respect to Gary's time at United, he knows and I know, we don't play him every week and I am looking for someone who does (play)."

Neville has spent his entire career with United, and is a lifelong supporter of the club, but understands his manager's logic and will not question the decision.

He said: "It is a great honour but it has never been the major priority for me.

"I wasn't captain for most of my career. It is not unusual."

It is expected that Ferguson will turn to either Rio Ferdinand, the England skipper, or his centre-half partner Nemanja Vidic, who led the side against the Toffees, to replace Neville.

Vidic for the team captaincy nod.gif

Fergie fears trio retirement

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Manchester United may have to dig deep to replace the old guard.

For the second summer running, Ferguson has opted not to spend heavily in the transfer market.

United are yet to make a high-profile signing since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez last year, with United having invested in excess of £20million to capture Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and Bebe this summer.

Ferguson's thrifty approach has led to accusations he is being handicapped by the huge debts incurred by the Glazer family, something both he and chief executive David Gill have repeatedly denied.

The United boss feels the Red Devils have enough youngsters coming through at present to do the business.

However, Ferguson accepts he may have to splash out once veterans Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville hang up their boots.

"We are not at the point where we have to go overboard to get the best player in the world," he said.

"There are enough really top players in the club at the moment.

Stretch

"There may be a time in the next couple of years where we have to stretch ourselves, particularly when Ryan, Paul and Gary retire.

"Then, it is a possibility we would need to get really top players in to galvanise the younger ones coming through.

"But at the moment we have the experience. We have players who have been through the whole gamut of emotions at this club and know how to deal with it."

While Manchester City and Real Madrid have been by far the busiest clubs in the transfer market over the last 18 months, Ferguson insists he has money to spend if he feels his squad is not up to scratch.

One target

"We have no financial restrictions," he said. "If I hadn't been confident maybe we would have done something.

"But there was only one player I would have brought here and that move was sealed off quite early by the club he went to.

"The best thing we can do until the market becomes more sensible is produce or buy young players and develop them in the club.

"By doing that we are easily securing the next eight years at Manchester United."

he wont be sitting on the bench always man, there is league cup coming, FA cup as well, these place are the best place for players like him to gain exp. like i mentioned earlier days, its not right letting this youngsters shouldering all the hope and burden you see. it could prove to be costly.

Rafael's mistake can be his room for improvement, but O'shea's mistake is shakehead.gif I rather take the risk. Since Neville is on the verge of retirement, it is time to find someone to step up to that position rather than trial and errors in the position just after Neville goes off. I say regular start for Rafael, and O'shea and Evra to rotate. Evra probably didnt need to rest, but we could save his best for europe travels.

Those crosses arent so easy to convert though, its usually high-arc and easily cleared by defenders.

Rafael is probably more brave and takes his chances to tackle, although it might be a bad one tongue.gif

How can he learn if he continue playing against small team. I bet the red card against Bayern thought him a big lesson. That is the type of experience Neville, Giggs, Scholes and beckham got during their young age huh.

Nah, i don't agree with you because you got to understand that Rafael is still young and learning(20 years old) and the fact he is not homegrown footballer which a high risk for Sir Alex to start him regularly. Sure, I would love Rafael to start as many games as he can but the fact is he can't because he is a little prone injury (which is normal to youngster) and whether JOS, Neville or Brown is better than him (excluding pace and flair) in RB position.

You must also consider the fitness and physical ability (plus the nervousness of youngster) Rafael in the league especially against team such as Blackburn, Stoke or Bolton. Maybe this season is not ready for Rafael. He can still play the odd games against big team but certainly he is not ready to claim the spot for RB yet.

Sir Alex will introduce him slowly, believe me. He is still raw talent (young and learning).

Other fact is that Rafael can slowly progress to become better footballer instead of rushing him to the first team.

Prove it on the pitch and training , sure Sir Alex will make Rafael as regular RB for either next season or this season if all the RB is not available (and i'm not surprise if Sir Alex prefer fletch in RB if all other RB not available).

BTW, the games is changing ,the modern games is requires more tactical approach (which required better football's brain) and physical is getting tougher compare to the times of Neville, Beckham and others (and the fact they are from academy which makes Sir Alex will consider them to start as soon as possible if they are good enough to claim the spot) tongue.gif
