No, our midfield was terrible. Most other defences would've let far more past them than ours did. And be under no illusions, ronaldo wasn't 'well tackled.' He tried to showboat in our own half in a vulnerable position where he should've held the ball up, made a pass, or if neither was on spanked that ball out of danger. Not twinkle toes though. he decided to try to nutmeg one of the games most promising rising stars. And we paid for his mistake.
You seem to be forgetting that ronaldo loves to beat people. It's built into him. The defence should have closed down fabregas better anyways. How he ran from the half way line to our area unchallenged ill never know.

It isn't the defences job to pick up midfielders running, the midfield should have been getting back to cover the defence, as soon as a defender goes to him there is space for an Arsenal player to run into.

I don't give a shit whether it's built into him or not. would you like to see him do thirty stepovers in our own six yard box?
He didn't go by unchallenged either, Ronaldo put a foot in and it bounced back into fabregas' path. Quite lucky really, but that's beside the point. Ronaldo lost the ball when he shouldn't have done end of.
Well taken by Saha there.

Hi,
First of all, congratulations to Manchester United for their win over Benfica tonight in the Champions League match.
Altough, and without wanting to insult or starting a fight, anyone who thinks United's win was fair must be completely and utterly blind! The first half was... well, Benfica's - Manchester United couldn't even go through the midfield line most of the time.
In the second half, Benfica really started slowign down, and in one of the few times United managed to go near the area, the goal just happens, with the ball still hitting Anderson... quite lucky wouldn't you say?...
We really are in a middle of a bloody crisis... anyway, better days shall come.
Cheers

I thought Ronaldo did quite well to be honest. When he was running with the ball Saha and Rooney weren't exactly giving him many options. Rooney was poor again and Saha was terrible all the way through, except for his goal. Heinze looked good throughout, can't really say anyone else looked that good though.

Tough one to swallow...but this is football at is best.
We were the better team in the 1st half, but we didn't create enough goal chances, only Nuno Gomes shot was dangerous. Man Utd defended with 11 players, all of them behind the ball, so it was really tough to score (our forwards showed no ability to break through that defence, we missed Rui Costa) Simao is having a bad moment, kinda like Rooney. When Saha scored, it was all over for us, and then they managed very well the rest of the match, waisting a lot of time in their possesion. Ronaldo was the best man in the pitch in my view, he was the only player who tried to shake things up.
Quim showed that he is the best portuguese goalkeeper (at least he is reliable).
I believe that a draw would be a reasonable result, but like a said before, this is football.
Now we have to win at Glasgow...if not, we'll be in a serious situation.
Good luck for Man Utd campaign in the PL and good luck against Celtic and Copenhagen, then you must loose at Old Trafford against us!

Ronaldo is greedy and lazy, hes not a team player. Our midfiled was over run because Ronaldo was not defending his side of the field and the midfielders were trying to pickup to many men.
The best two chance last night came when Ronaldo actually passed the ball, instead of taking on too many players.
Ronaldo is not on the team to score goals, he's there to create goals and help out the team. When he realise its a TEAM sport, united will be the dominate force in football.

I agree Ronaldo may hog the ball a fair bit, but to be honest, who would you of passed it to that game, he was the only player i could see doing something creative and perhaps getting a goal,
I dont think he will be able to just change as a player and pass the ball all the time, hes developed a habit of taking on sometimes too may defender and habits are hard to break it will take him a while before he will know when to wipe defenders arses or when to take on a few then lay off a beauty threw ball.
But my main point i wanted to talk about was the fact that people have overlooked the fact that since Denny Irwin left we havnt had a good left back but I think Heinze could possibly be the best Left beck weve ever had and that the world has seen, his work rate is second to none and i dont think he was beaten once down the left side yesterday. Didnt miss a tackle, the perfect defender in my eyes !!!!

Yea it was a good match i enjoyed, to be fair Man utd were always in control. Rooney didnt play as good as he can but he was always getting the ball making his runs and dictating play to an extent. Ronaldo was brilliant, it was clear newcastlte played for the point.
Starting on a different note, a little confrontation just outside the ground on the way in. 2-3 blokes, all fairly big, probably 6'2" at least, no idea what the fuss was about to be honest but it looked quite aggresive, obviously Police nearby stopped it on their high-horses smelling of shit.
Ronaldo had a great game and nearly evertime he had the ball at his feet, he was dangerous, a threat to the Toon's defence. There were many occasions where he should have played it easy but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time. Rooney had a few moments shining again but for the whole his bad spell continues, I believe it's partly down to people expecting so much from the guy. Awful to see Heinze substituted through injury but at least he walked off rather than being stretchered if it's any consolation.
Noocastle fans were decent in the first half but I thought they had died in the second to be honest. Quiet up until the last 5-10 minutes in which they sang "Your support is fuckin' shit!" etc, rather funny.
Ole made space often and helped us knock it around, we looked comfortable on the ball and had spells where we looked incredible. I have to talk about Fletcher again too, having another fairly good game, not immense by any means but slightly impressive. Still however, no where near United standard. Surprised Ameobi never got booked actually, I'm sure he just put his foot through Vidic whilst he was on the floor near the corner flag.
To sum up, we were impressive and deserved the 3 points definetely.

The World Cup was actually quite a farce on numerous fronts and in particular for individual talent to shine, none of the big guns really turned up. But to say he's in with a chance of winning a World Player of the Year award would be a farce. About as farcical as Zidane getting voted the best player at the World Cup.

There will be some videos on YouTube, there always is.
Theres a large difference between Tevez and Torres, so making the comparison is a bit silly I reckon. £27m for Torres is a waste of time in my estimations, he maybe good but he's not really stunning, if indeed we even have sufficient funds to place a bid. Huntelaar would be a more suitable buy with his potential and the way in which he is shaping up. From what I've seen and heard, Nani is a decent player, but lets not go overboard just yet. Gignac is definetely a possibility considering he was interviewed saying he'd like to join, I'll just have a look for the interview.
"Nani is not for sale today - and neither in the winter market. At this moment we are not interested in any business."
Doesn't sound too promising with regards to Nani, however we all know money talks. I'm sure Ronaldo could persuade Nani to come to United too, bish-bash-bosh.
'Rising French star Pierre-Andre Gignac admits he dreams of being the long-term replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy at Manchester United.
The Red Devils sold the prolific Dutchman to Real Madrid in the summer and opted against signing a successor to van Nistelrooy.
Gignac is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of France's best players and the Lorient striker outlined his vision for the future.
"I won't tell you that I try to copy him, but I am a huge fan of the great Ruud van Nistelrooy," Gignac told skysports.com.
"I appreciated this player a lot. My dream is to be just like him.
"France and England are the places where I want to play football.
"In The Premiership, they score so many goals, they play so quickly, with envy, it is a real show.
"Replacing the great Ruud at Manchester United would be the bomb. Yes, wearing the number 10 at Old Trafford..."
The 20-year-old has already received glowing praise from Raymond Domenech and Gignac was heartened by the France national team coach's comments.
He added: "When Raymond Domenech declared I was a potential French international, I was really honoured.
"There is nothing negative in it, I don't suffer any more pressure. On the contrary, it incites me to work more and to try to be the best.
"I feel boosted, but I stay lucid. I know I still have a lot of work to do in order to become an international.
"First, I have to fight to be part of my club's starting line-up and then, if Raymond Domenech calls me, it would be a bonus.
"When my coach (Christian Gourcuff) told me about Domenech's compliments, I was so surprised. Then my friends and family have called me to confirm it."
Gignac has scored three times in eight appearances for Lorient this season and he is relishing being able to learn from more experienced team-mates Steve Marlet and Fabrice Fiorese.
"It is so good to train with aces like them," continued Gignac. "Playing with them daily is a fantastic opportunity to shine.
"With Steve, we have played a couple of matches together and we are starting to find a real co-ordination.
"I am sure the future will be great for our partnership."

no can do badge...he's on loan...and had a taste for the EPL and proven he has the minerals
We have an agreed fee though. So I don't know how Man Utd will be able to stop us from signing him, unless there is a stipulation in the contract allowing the lad to back out if he so wishes (which I don't think he does) at a financial cost (to himself).

yesterdays match was pretty good...great performances by Rooney Saha and Ole and good goal from Vidic
it also showed that we should always play 4-4-2 like we did in the second half (which we dominated)
vanNistelrooy
15-10-2006, 14:57
Vidic is a big pile of wank. Hopefully his goal yesterday won't blind people from that truth.
Saha needs to learn how to hit a barndoor, then work on hitting the back of the net.
Solskjaer shouldn't be played on the wing, he hasn't got the pace to beat players.

VanNistelrooy you call yourself a man u fan saha as got 6 goals this season so far which is'nt bad at all as with Vidic i think hes a defender whos strong and certainly a handful for the opposition at attacking set pieces something man u have been missing as for solskjaer he was played out wide because of the injuries to Ronaldo and park ji sung. I'd just like to say how well Evra is playing at the moment when he first joined i thought he was hopeless but i'm first to admit when i'm wrong. As for you vanNistelrooy if all you're gonna do is criticise the players why dont you do what your name sake done and transfer to Real madrid

Shut up Dale, Saha is wank. And that's me being polite.
Yes Saha is wank at the moment, he needs to learn how to hit a barndoor no wonder he is our top goalscorer ;)
Seriously Saha has been getting the job done at the moment so there is no need to critise him

Who the hell are you? Right, I'll explain which most people will agree with:-
VIDIC: Yes, very well he's a handfull from set pieces when we're attacking. Did we buy him for his attacking abilities? NO. He is a defender. He gets too tight to strikers and gives away too many unnecessary free kicks because of it.
SAHA: Yes he has got 6 goals this season, but how many SHOULD he have by now? He misses far too many chances, far too many to be United's "Number One Striker".
SOLSKJAER: He is one of my favourite United players over the years, I love the guy. He is a 33 year old who has just come back from serious injuries. Playing him on the right where he'll need to beat men isn't going to go down well. Yes we had injuries but why not play him upfront with Saha and stick to the 4-4-2 (the formation which the manager also said changed the game).
That last statement you made just makes me laugh.

vanNistelrooy i agree 4-4-2 is the way we should play but giggs was just coming back from injury so fergie did'nt want to risk him the whole match so who else could've played down the right all i can think is rooney with richardson starting left but i get the feeling fergie dose'nt really rate richardson of cause theres the blistering pace of darren fletcher lol so i think solskjaer was really the only choice end of day who cares we won and stay top of the table. I personally think wes brown is better then vidic but then again i reckon pique is better then them both but the poor lad could'nt get a game and of cause is on loan at zaragosa just hope its one we dont lose again like spector.
Ferguson defintitely rates Richardson, hence why he so often plays him whether he did last match or not. Fletcher played on the right only a few games ago and played considerably well so I can't imagine why he didn't get his game this time. In saying that though, Ole scored so I'm complaining.
I too think Wes is better than Vidic, but not this season, Brown is having difficulties this season unfortunately. We need our defence to be constantly strong and that won't happen with someone who isn't on form. But again, Vidic scored. Plus they're both better than Pique, by quite some distance, Evans is better than Pique. Potential is one thing but actually having the skill is another.
AgentZero
16-10-2006, 08:01
that about vidic being wank is rubbish, weve been very solid with him at the back with rio conceeded 2 goals in four matches and he hasnt got any bookings!

Saha seems to have no control over the ball or his feet most of the time, and isn't very intelligent. How he has managed 6 goals I'll never know. I see some people are finally agreeing with me that Saha really isn't that good a player?
Solskjaer scored, but looked slower than a tortoise most of the time. He's gotta be played up front really.
Evra looked decent in the game, and seems to be playing quite well of late.
vanNistelrooy

Evra looks decent going forward but a little shaky at the back.

Saha is far from shite unless you're using such a term to get your point across that he's a bad player. However I disagree, he's been doing 'okay' for us thus far, I mean since Ruud's gone there has been nothing but fuss about where the goals will come from. It appears it could possibly be Saha, or at least for now, there shouldn't be a problem really.
Saying that I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of Ole in the forward role as we know after his injury he won't have such pace on the wing.

I can't believe the level of hate Saha is recieving in this thread. He is still banging in the goals for Utd..
Nor can I to be honest. The majority if not all United fans have been anticipating a new big signing to fill the void in which Ruud left, Saha is doing very well so far, there shouldn't be any complaints. Yes, he should have probably scored 2 last night but every striker is allowed to miss some when compared to his scoring record this season.
Many have been glad due to the freedom we can now play with due to Ruud departing, but the way people have been slaughtering Saha it makes me wonder whether some still want this freedom. Saha has bags of pace and can carry the ball for a while providing the space is there whereas Ruud just often layed it back then trotted into the box. He was effective no doubt but by being able to play Saha consistantly he's too capable of getting the goals. He scored a fair few for Fulham when we signed him and he's doing the same now, we should we complain ?

What was wrong with his wrist? Was it just sparained?

Think he may have fractured it since he's been wearing a pot for the past 3 weeks or so. Just recently has he started to sport a thinner version over his hand mainly. Think it maybe his hand which was injured, rumour has it, he had a fight with God, and won.

Away from home pretty much all the games are hard.
Starting from the 2nd round, home and away matches are nearly unpredictable. But in the first round, the away matches are not that hard to the big teams when they face small teams.

Do you post a message something along the lines of this every time a member posts twice in quick succession? i doubt it so why do it to me?

Most games are unpredictable and the small teams in this competition are all good hence why they made it here.

Anyway, being unpredictable means more exciting football. That's why, it is a very successful competition, isn't it?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be out for several weeks after hurting a hamstring in Manchester United's Champions League defeat by FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.
The striker had only just returned from a two-year lay-off with knee problems.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told the club website: "It's unfortunate for Ole but I am actually quite happy.
"Given his previous history of knee problems, I was a bit concerned but, fortunately, it is only a hamstring. He will be out for a few weeks."
Crap.

Nobody else does it as often as you thats why, and that is good news about Solskjaer in a sense because at first i thought it was gonna be his knee again which would have ruled him out for longer

I agree. It's bad that he's injured, but at least it's just a hamstring, if it was his knee again, he would be finished.

United are still in pole position and fully expect them to top the group with Celtic coming second.
United are still in pole position and fully expect them to top the group with Celtic coming second.
That wasn't really the point about last night.
It's a huge disrespect to United fans who took time off work and paid good money to travel only to see the manner of application and arrogance afforded to the opposition. I don't mind seeing United lose, especially not now that we're Glazer-owned, but it's the same point we seem to be making every year. Complacency in Euro aways and not showing the opposition any respect. By the same token, that isn't showing our travelling support respect either.
We'll still qualify comfortably, but the same problems are there.

Good game from what i saw of the second half, what a goal by Ronaldo, and thanks again vanNistelrooy for that link it started to work at half-time

stunning first 20 minutes
Great game yesterday, although the last 25 minutes were a bit disappointing, seemed to take our foot off the pedel, understandable though. Rooney played very well, often having to carry the ball 30 yards at times, I didn't realise how far out Ronaldo's free kick was either, assumed it was about 20-25 yards, but after seeing it on TV, turns out it was more like 28-35, was a cracking take though. The atmosphere was a bit better than usual too, more variation of songs which is great, often it's just maybe 5-10 songs but a lot more were sang yesterday which is superb.
Arsenal, Chelsea & Citeh losing too, almost a perfect weekend however Liverpool spoilt it a bit. None the less, a 3 point lead at the moment is mega, we've deserved it thoroughly.

That Ronaldo goal really was something else, who do we play next

Blackburn, Away. At least it is on a Saturday though, should be a very tough game. We can all expect a physical match but I think we'll just take it by a goal. Unless, of course there are injuries before the match.

Just watch us blow it against Blackburn next weekend.

...or tonight against Southend. Don't get me wrong, they're playing well, but we should still have more than enough talent to blow them away. Ronaldo needs to stop cutting in, especially when in a one on one situation.

What an embarrassing performance. Fletcher, O'Shea and Richardson are all completely hopeless, they're closer to the quality of Southend than United.
Why is it that NONE of our players can cross a ball?
After our first team, we're pretty shit. Everytime we rest Neville, Giggs, Scholes, Saha etc, the players that come in to deputise are fucking awful. The team can't be defended, that World Cup calibre talent couldn't even create one realistic goalscoring opportunity against the worst team in the championship is fucking pathetic. It worries me that our second string is this bad.

You cant be happy after that display and result.
Just goes to show that Man Utd are lacking that depth in there squad.
