i have no idea how he came to that decision, bizarre to say the least. But he's offside so justice was done.

So GTFO yourself.

i dont know how you've come to that decision,he was clearly onside

merlinsmerryman

Nice finish. Should be very comfortable in the second half.

syngindub

great goal by Gibson after another ****e free kick from Ronaldo. getting pretty sick of him taking free kicks.

jaykay74

Dazza with a goal. until they kick off though wait for the linesman :pac::pac::pac:

Thought he played very well in the last game against Derby. The game before that he wasn't exceptional but he was better than Anderson, Scholes and Nani and was rightly kept on the pitch for the 90.

Yep, was also out of position on the wing.

OK. Apparently, the linesman was not sure whether Ryan Giggs had touched Ben Foster's throw on for Cristiano Ronaldo so he had to wait to check with the referee before confirming the offside decision. He was marginally offside so it was the right decision... eventually.

Necronomicon

The commentators are suddenly commending the linesman after the explanation but how the hell did he not see Giggs' flick on?

More of the same in the second half please.

eclectichoney

Ah I knew Gibson would deliver after me admitting I'd no faith in him.

I stand corrected!

Giggs' passing today is lovely.

Should 2nd goal have been disallowed for Park blocking the keepers view ala the disallowed irish goal in midweek.

i was going to say but i didn't want my head bitten off for a second time. Could have went either way to be honest.

ShooterSF

Gibson goal onside? Considering Andrews for Ireland.

Edit- Beat to it

besty

Fairly slick stuff so far. More of the same please in the second half. Hopefully Nani can up it further in the second half and really let loose on Derby. I'd like to see Gibson and Fletch really dominate after the break too.

Ronaldoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

how did fletch miss that

jaykay74

Ronaldo has a better chance from corner kicks than direct free kicks

Mitch Connor

should have been 4 there. nice move.

A BLOODY BLIND MAN HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF HITTING THE TARGET FROM A FREE-KICK THAN RONALDO.

Time to relieve the guy of free-kicks as he is utter muck. Hargreaves was good but obviously injured. Just give someone else a go.

time to take off Ronaldo and Rio id say

Giggs is a proven free kick taker, there is also park and gibson has a good strike

besty

Giggs has always impressed me from direct free kicks. I agree that Ronaldo is too inconsistent but often the object of his free kicks are to force a parry from the keeper, and score from the rebound. I'd keep him on the ones from distance but for closer ones I'd suggest Hargreaves/Giggs

Aidric

This has been much easier than expected for Utd.

I'd have Tevez on the close-range free's

not his fault imo. terrible defending and a great header

Derby seem to be the only team that can score against us...

ye, he's far too complacent at times. He came on laughing and joking with the bench. No surprise really

Daysha

Nani 1-0
Gibson 2-0
Ronaldo 3-0

what's the story with this walbeck fello. Need to send him out on loan for a season or two. He needs to put on a few pounds and toughen the fuvk up.

not his fault

playing in the wrong position

put nani on the right,Ronaldo on the left and wellbeck up front

i was expecting the above when wellbeck came on

very strange that it hasnt happened

besty

Beautiful build up play there but blazed over by Ronnie.

syngindub

oscar winning performance from Nani with that dive.

Give him a bit of time tbh. He's still very young. Always looks lively and works hard. With Rooney's injury, I'm not sure we could afford to lose him as a back up though i agree more game time would help him.

Headshot

finally he's off

mg he was rubbish

possebon is on

_blank_

that was a great cross...

Raskolnikov

Rafael is getting destroyed by this Teale lad.

Yeah completely agree. I wouldnt blame him for any of the goals he's conceded this season, but I dont think he's kept a clean sheet so far

eclectichoney

Great save from Foster. Need to stop that Teale dude.

What a goal

Welbeck

4 - 1

Similar to David Villa's last night against Seville

K4t

Welbeck could have played first team last year. Great finish just there too.

Henry like you could say.
