Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Boys did us proud. No shame in a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford and the fact we had them under such pressure 2nd half was amazing. Keep this up Mo Po and you may turn out to be a bigger legend than your predecessor.

Jimmy_D Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 We'll finish top half if we keep playing like that the rest of the season. There's no one we can't win against (and DESERVE to win against) in the league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 We really need to take our chances. The defence has tightened up but we just don't score many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Again Hooiveld stressed the need for Fonte to return quickly or for Forren to get his fitness sorted ASAP. Lost track of Rooney for both goals (arguable for the 1st one but 2nd goal he had no clue of Rooney's position once the ball was in the air). I think we should've considered a loan this winter at least to cover for Jose's injury and get Jos out of the team squad. Seems a nice guy Jos, but clearly too fvvcking slow for Premier League.

Islander Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Given MOM to Boruc but gives a false impression that they were battering us. Very proud of the way we controlled second half. Carry on like that and we'll finish mid-table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Davis made a difference when he came on - our 3 CMs really got in their faces and snuffed out Carrick's supply. Would have liked us to go a bit more direct at times (when done well, they were rocking), though we did get in some good positions down the flanks playing patient football. Good to AL back- got closer to Lambert than Jrod. Still think we need another creative player. Gaston was poor but the system didn't suit him either. He would have been much better if he had started in front of 3 CMs who were winning the ball very high up the pitch and feeding our attackers in the final third.

Norm Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Really good second half (need to forget the first 45 mins quickly!) but there are no points for possession. Could have done with a good striker tonight. On to Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 First time for ages I wanted the extra time second half to extend. Second half great to watch - Yoshida good again; Cork a dynamo and best effort from Davis for quite a while. The table looks precarious but reproducing that last 45 minutes should see us safe.

Rebel Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 With Fox and Hooiveld in defence we are always glint to conceded goals at this level - they are a mistake waiting to happen. I've never seen a full back leave so much space as Fox - it makes it easy for the opposition to get in behind us and puts so much pressure intone centre backs Hooiveld will crack every time. I'm also still to be convinced that Gaston wasn't anything more than a vanity signing at £12 million. Think how much better we'd be with Michu who cost £2 million and two £5 million defenders in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been much better if he had started in front of 3 CMs who were winning the ball very high up the pitch and feeding our attackers in the final third. Davis has flattered to desive for me so far, but tonight he was excellent. He was the focal point in our pressure from the middle of the park, and broke things up numerous times. I'm starting to think that Davis is one for the away games, in place of Ramirez. I'm with you on the creative player front as well. If we had a little bit more spark in the final third, we'd be frightening. We lack a bit of quality at times when making that final pass or choice.

MOSaint Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Good second half to take us into Saturday's game. If MP can get them to repeat the 2nd half tonight and 1st half against Everton against a team like Wigan we have a good chance of winning.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Performance of a top 10 team if not top 6! Just simply superb and particularly from Boruc who was immense this evening. Well done lads and well done Pochi - we looked like a team on fire - a real Prem team. Only thing that was lacking was the finishing, however to pin ManUre into their own half for much of the last 10 minutes of a game AND have Fergie on the line demanding the ref blow the whistle is testiment to the excellent display. We need to go out like that and smash Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that we got no points cos I thought that we deserved at least a draw !! First half they were pulled around a bit, and exposed to be fair to them. 2nd half we changed it, we were more solid and they had more protection - and obviously Man Utd saw less of the ball, so they weren't tested as much. Yoshida continues to impress also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, though Ramirez could have provided that. In the first half, he was stuck on the flank feeding on bits and pieces. With the addition of the 3 CMs, we were winning balls in dangerous positions and would have been ideal for Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 30 January, 2013 Share Posted 30 January, 2013 Great tactical change at half time, big hand for Yoshida who had a fantastic game. I feel gutted once again against United this season. no reward for an excellent performance Only gripe really is Ramirez the guy is failing more times than he's decent, I know he needs time to settle but I would have expected him to be showing more consistency than he has done so far. When he is good he is genius, but we don't see it enough for the outlay IMHO. But that's a minor gripe tonight & shouldn't detract from a great team performance, I can never remember going to a big club like United & totally dominating them like that.
