    Bolton really have been excellent today, anything United get is absolutely undeserved, and it doesn't look like United will get anything.

    Big day today for Arsenal, that puts them 6 points ahead with a game in hand. It's gona be a game of catch-up now for United for the rest of the season I'd say.

    As for United,
    Shocking performance, really terrible. Why Fergie played Carrick I don't know. He's been ****. Whatever the **** has happened to him I don't know, but the way it seems to be going, his days at United are numbered.
    Giggs was terrible. Nani is young but at least was eager.
    Tevez was terrible, if he wants to make it as a United player he has to put those chances away every single time.
    Saha has to go, he's shown his true colours today.

    What the story is with Ronaldo I don't know. If Fergie rested him then it was a serious serious mistake. If he was injuried in the warm up then that's pretty ****ing annoying.
    Pique got done by the physical nature like lots of people were worried about. Still defensively United were fine in general, not a real threat ever of a second.

    true, but
    [devils advocate]
    Mick's Sunderland also didn't spend any money
    [/devils advocate].


    They could yet escape though, there are enough rubbish teams that they might get lucky, though with Wigan's manager change maybe they can cop on a bit, and Bolton already appear to be looking a bit more lower mid table then bottom 3. Derby may as well already be down, so the next 2 now imo are between Boro, Wigan, Sunderland, Brum and, if theres an exodus in January, Bolton.

    Of those i think it'll be Derby, Boro and Wigan.

    Shocking result from Sunderlands game. Keane is looking as if he will end up with egg on his face. Newcastle were as bad, with not a single outfield player looking as if he wanted a win today. I don't know what big sam is going to do with this bunch, but he has some motivational job on his hands.

    Great win for Liverpool, Torres again showed he's a step above most of the strikers in the prem, and although he didn't nick one today, his awarness and ability to create space looks second to none. A good win on Wednesday and it good give them the jolt they need to make this a memorable season.

    What a shocker from Utd. As has been said, if Ronaldo was just "rested" well then it's just a silly mistake. Hargreaves was brutal, Giggs, brutla, Nani, brutal, Tevez, brutal, Anderson made a difference for 10 mins, but was lacking when it came down to doing anything in the last 20 yrds of the pitch. Why do Manu struggle if they do not have Roone and Ronaldo on the pitch? If this is the best squad fergie has ever had, I'll get the ketchup ready for the Trilby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    In all fairness Hobart, Man Utd struggled cause they didn't have Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes or Vidic on the pitch. I think everyone realised at the start of the season that in terms of attackers, United were weak. Saha can't be relied on. Tevez isn't an out and out striker. If Rooney is injuried, United are missing a striker really. As such, it was always the main area of the squad where people knew had to be strengthened, and it wasn't.

    Apparently Ronaldo was not rested, he picked up a knock against Finland.

    Any linky? According to BBC/SSN he was rested...I know Rooney is injured a the moment, and I'm sure you would have thought that some sort of contingency would have been out in place...

    1-0 Chelski. Kalou


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    I don't, just getting it off another forum. I think everybody knew that United were relying on Rooney somewhat. Just look at our form at the start of the season. When Rooney isn't playing, having Ronaldo or Scholes on the pitch should be enough against Bolton. But when neither of those are playing, it's gona be tough to get goals. Another striker needs to be brought in, maybe 2 with Saha gone, and I think everybody's always known that.

    So Fergie really meant it's his best first 11 ever rather than squad?

    My point exactly. United have struggled without Rooney and Ronaldo all season.
