Come on, lets not blame the drunk ref nor the blind linesman. The boys only have themself to blame.

why no Ander, he's great

tidak menjawab persoalan...malah lari topic.il leave it at that.

yep, very weak defending. countless of time ball dispossessed from us. we let them do what they want.

that Iker Munain was superb. should have tackle him hard, mess with his confidence lil bit. but our players worried their shirts dirty later.

me too bro, think we can get it done there. UNITED!

lol
you highlighted my point 'we rode our luck' then I responded.
you highlighted my point 'DDG saved our ass' and asking 'what does a goal keepers duty for a football team?' do you want me to answer 'Goal keepers duty is to save the goal and made those saves from opponent scoring's effort'? I'll give that answer if you are 6-years old boy, sorry if you really are then I'll leave at that.

Added on March 9, 2012, 6:39 amyea it wasn't smart excuse, painful to watch recent games, midfield has been 'lost', I just wish to expect consistent line-up with our best player in their suited position there and can see the maximum potential of the team. then can justify whether it was a false hope or not. yea I admired Torres in Athl Madrid too, captain at such a young age too, but suddenly dropped my admiration when he moved to Liverpool

sorry I don't understand Malay.

I thought it was unnecessary answer that I need to give, instead I chose to elaborate more of my point that 'saved our ass' refer to DDG made lot of unnecessary saves that came because below-par team performance. If the team plays up to standard, those threats won't come.

As far as I've followed manutd.com I see those views about our luck at Norwich and Tottenham and DDG's performance are views from people at the club also eh

anyway, i'll leave at this, that's my imo, up to you if you don't want to accept it, just try to give answer in best possible manner, sorry if something's offending you

i believe technically when player's boot come off and interrupting the game, ref should give a drop ball, is it? WTF he gave a free kick? and the boot wasnt interrupting the game.

DDG played well. our defense are sloppy, esp Rafael on 3rd goal. our midfield are loose, became solid after Carrick came in. Hernandez's touched are lousy and poor, as always.

Europa League are bless in disguise. we'll get spank by any decent teams in CL. valuable and bitter lessons for our youngsters.

but i'll still hope we can progress. 2 goals win, or scoring 3 goals at Spain are gigantic task, but far from impossible..

minnie mouse cup so hard?

not sure to call it minnie mouse cup or what because no 'ear'


well, this 2 cup can consider

then donald duck cup..??

aiks...woke up to a lost...2-3 definitely still not over at all dont give up

hahaha it seems like whenever city lose,,,we must lose also home or away looks like this 2 cannot b separated by the losing links eh

Among all the goal concede.... the third one really speechless.... What is rafael waiting??? Don't tell me De Gea should shouted at him... but as a defender he has to be aware the surrounding....

maybe he thought that free kick was meant for Man Utd instead ?

did i miss something ? since when TORRES is in BILBAO ? u sure u are admiring the right guy ? or do u actually follow MANU games and know who is the opponent ?

the team name using "athletic ..." that he knew..

its not really a confusion.
Fernando Torres (currently in CFC now), his old team is Atletico Madrid.
Fernando Llorente Torres is currently in Athletic Bilbao

"Torres's old team haunting me...I secretly admire him when he was playing there..."

With all the mention past tense, we know who is he mentioning

hahah I'm malay and I couldn't make sense of that sentence you quoted


re. the game, didn't watch. but from match reports and what happened previously:
* utd can't handle aggressively pressing teams = barca, newcastle, bilbao

* utd. struggle when carrick/scholes/giggs are marked or the opponent put more bodies in midfield; and on counter attacks there'd be no one to cover the back four or help Carrick

* out of all the wingers only Valencia can properly help the fullbacks (and only on the right side)

* out of all the strikers only Berbatov has excellent ball control, Welbeck is mobile but has poor control and finishing; Hernandez can finish but struggle with positioning and control; Rooney has good positioning and finishing -horrible control also, but can contribute defensively, and on form can pass well to bring others into play

* defensively utd. likes to play a high line, which don't suit Ferdinand anymore; barring injuries the best back four should be Smalling, Evans, Vidic, Evra -this line up could dominate teh BPL for a few seasons

All said, it's a testament to Fergie's ability to dominate the BPL that this team is still second in the league (great record vs the top 4/5 too this season!), but to succeed in Europe they'd need to keep the defensive unit injury free, get a replacement for Fletcher (or drill defensive sense into Cleverley and Anderson), and bring back Queiroz (or even AVB )

I still believe Utd at their current best (and defensive upgrade) can stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Bayern Munich, Juve and Milan but there's still Barca and Real to deal with (and great smaller teams like Napoli, Dortmund, Bilbao, Benfica, Porto)...
