2006/07 season. The blooming of Roo and Ron's partnership.

Carrick, Rio, Berba, Vida, Park, Valencia, Fletcher, Giggs, Hernandez all played only small part so far. Bodes well later on in the season when the kids ran out of steam later on in the season. Hoho.

mana ada meltdown. itu confidence.     

they have the bestest midfield, gk and whatever that you can name.

Could say the same about defenders tho. Evans, Smalling and Jones are performing so well that Rio and Vida need to convince the gaffer!

The twins will cause more headache if they're playing at the same time. Que that Arsenal match last season ..

He's rested for this Sunday - same one used by AVB for Terry.

Hey guys, I just joined the MUST league.... but I want to know where the points are calculated from - Week 1? Because if yes.... I'm top of the league (unofficially) at 262 points 

We certainly don't look as slick without Anderson.

I stayed up to watch the game yesterday... it was so boring until i slept in the middle of the 1st half... but woke up in the start of the second half... Carrick made so many errors that I literally swearing in front of the TV. He can't even make a simple forward pass properly before giving the ball away. No confidence whatsoever. When your central midfield doesn't have confidence.. the team morale drop tremendously.. remember where we keep reminding each other that we need a creative central midfield? Well the problem is back..

Commenting about performances?

Any of you here actually realized Benfica played EXCELLENTLY, bringing the game to our team? Their attackers linked so well, Pablo Aimar, being a legend of attacking midfield he is, goes head to head with our defenders everytime he gets the ball. Their midfield and defenders managed to break our gameplay especially in the first 30 minutes of the game.

Do i see any of you commenting on that? Instead all i see is comments on how the team under-performed. Just because Benfica isnt a international name if compared to Porto (at least in our part of the world), you immediately assume they are the team that we "can perform against". they are runners up in Portuguese League, and the winners before. The very moment i tuned in to the game and see the amazing atmosphere in the stadium, i know they are one heck of a club.

And even if the performance of the team isnt as good, in what terms of performance are you judging? to get a point away from home against Benfica, this performance is normal for United. Why suddenly the talk about WEAK performance? Simple really; your expectation skyrocketed after the game against Arsenal and Bolton.

If you think every game is like how we play against Arsenal and Bolton, then i suggest u stop watching for the rest of the season. It's gonna be bumpy as always, shock defeats or draws will turn up at some point of the season.

If opponent plays well and disrupts our gameplay, wouldnt our performance be affected as well? If opponent continues to put a foot in and intercepts passes, does that mean our passes suck, or they did well in preventing our performances from going the right way? The way i see it Benfica did enough to makes us sloppy by applying pressure. They bring the game to us so our defenders have a lot to do. Or are you saying that United should play great football, and that how opponent play against us is irrelevant? So If United's passing completion is 95% against Swindon Town, but against Barcelona is only 90%, United's performance against Barcelona is worse than that against Swindon Town? by your logic the opposition doesnt matter, so that is the conclusion?

and like i said, if you think every performance needs to be excellent, no missed passes (regardless opposition intercepting or not), each shot goes on target (regardless if opposition puts their body against our shots) or our defender tackles every single ball (regardless if opposition have great and fluid movement or not), then United's game is not for you because United being United, the club will always grind results, and win games even when doesnt perform.

Obviously the team wants to play well and doesnt make mistake, but the degree of that depends on who we are playing against as well. The stronger the opposition, of course the more likely they can counter our play and force errors from our players. Similarly, we try our best to disrupt opposition's game play and as such, they end up not performing.

My point is, our performances doesnt just depend on ourselves, it depends on how well opposition play as well. So to criticize the player's performances because they faced a strong opponent or opponent who themselves played well isnt fair. If you still cant brain this, then i dunno what else to say, that sentences is simple enough.

the bolded part, it applies to "Every Single Time" is it?

i think your post sums all your expectations up. 1 less-than-convincing game, and you claimed the player failed to live up to expectations. 1 game, and they disappointed you. Thats why i ask you, and maybe some others, to maybe skip the rest of the season because there will be more of such games. your expectation is that the player churned out great performances every single time. Well let me tell you this, they wont be able to do it every single time, and thats what being a champion is all about: getting results even when not performing.

Let me brain this out.
What pyroboy1911 means that the way we judge the performance of our team depends on which team we played against.

If we were up against Barca on that nite, perhaps it would have been a very good performance. Able to stay so high on the pitch attacking opponent and scores goal although with couple of mispasses, it is still very much encouraging.

However with weakened opponent team, we are expected to fair well with lesser mistake and more fluid passing.

TBH, Benfica pressured our players alot especially M.Perreira who managed to mark Park tightly throughout the game. Luisao is another highlight of the game, repelling almost all of the crosses from our wingers.

I would say we managed to stay on par with them despite missing couple of important players and playing away.

Sorry. I have to disagree with the bolded statement. It is depends on ourselves. Whether you win, lose or draw, performance is another story. You can lose but still perform well.

bro ,standard la this thread.

A: "dissapointed by the poor performance, but a good away point"
B: "TROLOLOL ppl expect we win 10-0 every game, delusional fans"
C: "TROLOLOL one game and people are doubting SAF"

Poor little A is then bombarded with retarded sarcastic remarks posted indirectly to him.
wtf?
a unique thread, this.

Well, it could lead to a discussion isn't it? Instead of gazillion of sarcastic remark whenever someone says like that? Also, I don't see anything wrong he voiced it out that way rather than cursing the players. He was just stating his opinion on how the game was.

And I believe some of us did try to discuss what went wrong, but in the end you know how it goes. Go support other club, we should buy ronaldo messi, torres, mata etc to replace current players, sack fergie among others of sarcastic replies.

Yeah, why so serious? But the manner this thread is going where every single opinion/critics are replied with sarcastic remarks, how can you not be serious? 

fuhh perpetual motion yo.amazed at the united lot we have here. 

I don't know what's all the fuss of the draw that some of you guys have opinion with....For the record, when we play away in UCL, the team tend to be very tactical compared to when we play at OT. Chill guys. Draw is acceptable Lets look forward to this Sunday's game rather than talking about a game that has pass on a few days already. I'm really excited in looking how we take on Chelsea.

first thing first, what's ur track record whenever u feel nervous about United's game?
