Yeah not bad, but it's in the studio where they have shockers. Craig Foster isn't the worst but that Tony Palumbo annoys the fuck outta me.

Hehehe yeah I've just muted it and turned on Newstalk on-line for Off the Ball!!! Aaaah thats much better!

-Nani for Park

-Tevez/Kiko for scholes

Feck sake when was the last time we played with one striker at home in the CL???

People are giving out about JOS and Evans and rightly so, but Vidic has been toss as well. We miss Rio so badly when he's out, nobody is capable of organizing the defense anywhere near as well.

keane2097

I wouldn't advocate Nani for Park as bad as Park's been - the last thing we need is an inept Ronaldo clone with no tracking back.

United just seem directionless. There's no one thing I can say they're doing badly, it's just a very bad all round performance. Rooney and maybe Fletcher have been our best players. Scholes has been incredibly inconsistent - an amazing pass on minute, an absolute shocker the next.


We look like we're missing a fourth attacking player. I would say bring Tevez on, but I'm assuming he's knackered after Sunday. If they don't start performing by the 60 minute mark, bring on Tevez and possibly Giggs (depending on his state).

Id go as far as to say bring on kiko at the 60 mins stage

Ah come on! Rios been there for a lot of the recent poor performances. If only it was as simple as that.

Also I think people are getting a little carried away with the criticism of Johnny Evans. Sure he was terrible for the goal and has been poor the last couple of games, but how quick everyone has forgotten what a season he has had up until recently.

Mitch Connor

10 seconds to lose the ball, freaking wonderful.

Great play by Fletch. If he could just bark orders he'd add more to his game.

keane2097

Fletch has been a shining light in a shambles of a midfield - such an underrated player. People talk about workrate with the likes of Park, but Fletch does just as much along with some decent stuff like actually passing the ball.

thats some risky attempt at a non tackle by Vidic.

I'd expect that some reactions to Evans were in "the heat of the game" he's young and will make mistakes. He was at fault though and due some stick.

VDS WTF?

can it no be that utd are playing better

Evra started this half very well.

JerryHandbag

This game needs Kiko....NOW

ShooterSF

Am I being too optimistic or are Porto starting to look a lil tired already?

keane2097

Ronaldo's touch has been really bad tonight whatever's wrong with him.

United much better so far this half - clearly symptomatic of Porto not pressing high up the pitch.

United's midfield is extremely slow at getting beck to help the defense, so I'd expect Porto to be very dangerous on the counter...

eclectichoney

Ryan coming on!

****ing Ryan Giggs

and he leaves scholes on

just asking for trouble

Where do you get this king of stuff?:rolleyes:

Evans seems to be struggling - Neville maybe to come on, wouldn't exactly be a great change to have to make.

Would like to see Tevez on asap.

wish the hulk would stop falling over

I'd love to know how many times Ronaldo has lost the ball tonight and how many times he took on a player and failed to go past. Very poor tonight but he's not the only one.

Get Tevez should have come on instead of Giggs (even if he had a poor game against Villa)

Panthro

do you know at the very start of the game, when we are shown the lineup and position each player is playing, they show every players last name, (evans, vidic etc) except for ronaldo, where they show is full "christiano ronaldo"..why is that? surely they dont think we the viewers are that thick?
