Watching this on ITV, cant be doing with Dunphy tonight.

And Souness is getting in on it too. ''He (Ronaldo) has this thing whereby when you tackle him he acts as if how dare you?!''. Yeah Graeme.

He has an edge over commentators who can only see rio and rooney though and prob discuss players skippin on international duty rather than call the match..

Carturo

My God Houghton's an insufferable moron. ''He should've done this, they should've done that''. He's Dunphy's b1tch is all.

ShooterSF

Fletchs strenght usually is in knowing to keep it simple...

Shocking game so far.

Rooney coming to deep. Carrick not able to pass. Fletcher not on the pitch apparently. Anderson needs to get more involved. But I think Rooney dropping deep is effecting this as Anderson doesn't know where to go when Rooney is playing in his position.

ROCKMAN

sooo close ,
great effort , good save .

Anderson still waiting on goal number 1 (I think). thought when I saw him first he would be a goalscoring midfielder.

Yeah. Odd for a Brazilian not to score any goals no matter what position they play.

Yeah Roo's far too deep and Anderson keeps trying to slot in behind him. Like to see Rafael on for O'Shea in the second half.

The back heel pass should be out lawed at united. So much waste from it.

Dear god the RTE stream is disgraceful.

I'd give it another 10/15 minutes before switching it personal wise. However after half time I would put Ronaldo up top with Rooney, Nani right, and Anderson left and see how that does.

If nothing changes then Fletcher for Tevez, and O'Shea for Rafeal. See how that goes before giving Manucho a go.

Anderson's totally wasted on the left I reckon. He was shocking out there against Liverpool earlier in the season.

Take Fletch off for Tevez alright, keep Anderson in the centre but have him drop back a bit with Carrick. Put Rooney in behind Tevez and leave the rest.

Rather dull game so far, isn't it?

Cant see Fergie changing the personal at half time. So I was coming up with another way to change it.

Anderson would be less wasted on the left that he is at the moment.

NO. Its like the CL penalty shoot out.

eZe^

Anderson's attempted shot was pretty hilarious. That always happens you once when you're playing with your mates, in your mind you are thinking 'top corner, wait for it, this is gonna be some hit'. Insantly your foot becomes a banana, and the ball ends up in your own keepers hands somehow.

Carturo

It's not great but not as bad as Dumbphy and co are making out.



Yeah Anderson's shot was comedy gold!

You should watch the Portuguese league for some comedy dives.

Spud83

thats twice in one game too.

ShooterSF

Not a great game. Would love to heard itv commentators when Rooney dived

Carturo

I wonder will Dumbphy (that's Dunphy for Bobastupid) point out Rooney's dive in the full time analysis? Probably not.

redout

What the hell was Evans doing. Suicidal or what.

That's two on target for Anderson. That's already better than last season!

He's had two excellent positions from which to shoot and fluffed both. A professional footballer should be able to do better.

anyone elses paint dry yet?
id say another 25 minutes for mine

He is a new breed of Brazilian. Not capable.

jaykay74

Tevez, please save us from this rubbish :pac::pac:

I know 0-0 is probably job done but damn its dull.

doonothing

What a rickety save there!
Where's Tevez?

Guy:Incognito

Straight red :eek:. Ref must have been bored and decided to annoy a few people.

Jazzy

never a red. yellow at most.

how bad are these continental refs that do CL games? that eedjit for Athletico - pool was also a farce of a ref. unbelievable

jaykay74

Shouldn't have been red but no over dramatics from Ronaldo imo

ironingbored

Straight red? Hardly a yellow. The ref gave two fickle yellows to Villareal players in the first half as well.

At least it has raised the excitement level.

Spud83

Harsh red there. Foot was high and it actually didn't look like he went for the ball but a red was harsh.

How pissed must Tevez be. First Gibson then Park come on, all after he was stripped ready to come on.

RTE claims Gibsons international performances earned him his champions league debut

Edit:
Poor Tevito

Chong

This has been one absolutely p!ss poor game.

Spud83

I hope that doesn't cause much stoppage time. Don't think I could take it.

anonymous_joe

Let it end, let us go watch something else. :P

Thats almost as bad as claiming his Manchester United performances got him a place in the Ireland team.

Thank god. Now lets delete this thread and pretend we didn't just spend 90 minutes watching that.

Chong

Hardly anything good to take away from this game, except maybe Rio and Jonny played very well, along with Carrick who was excellent.

Terrible game

Ronaldo was an absolute sulky ponce throughout the night, terrible performance, every pass he got that he fupped up was the passers fault.

As for the his antics in getting Capedevila sent off, disgraceful, sick off his bullsh!te antics, sulky twonk.

Yay, it's over. ^^
