Uniteds squad seriously misses Ronaldo. He had that little bit of magic and luck we needed during terrible performances. Like tonight.

Fergie needs to bring in some top quality players. Giggs and Park are not good enough in midfield imo, creatively we just don't have the players.

Completely disagree.

I've watched united play like this with Ronaldo in the team.

Conceding that goal allowed Burnley to pack the defense and make absolutely everything really difficult.

resorting to long throws wtf

He could have taken a shot rather than pass to the invisible man.

Oh and let it be noted, Carrick was absolutely ****ing woeful tonight.

Giggs, for all my annoyance about him some times, along with Rooney is the only ****ing player who is giving a ****.

Yeah - but in Ronaldo we had a player who consistently got us out of the crapper. we don't have that anymore imo.

SlickRic

ronaldo's match winning has to be replaced.

i would argue that it is the biggest talking point for utd's season; how his input is replaced. until it is, it's a more than worthy discussion.

MagicMarker

The standard is low, but I think Giggs has been immense.

We're certainly not Stoke. They beat Burnley.

One of the worst United performances in recent history.

exactly. This season we should be less predictable as we should have danger on both wings. The selection of Park, who naturally comes inside and Ando, who is a CM, basically meant that we'd have no width and were predictable as fúck

Burnley did very well tbh. Did what many teams last season tried without success. Score and then play on their 18 yard box.

Bandit12

Final score?

OPENROAD

Well Done Burnley, brilliant stuff

Shaneomac

If this means Fergies gonna go out and spend first thing tomorrow(which we need) it could be a blessing in disguise

daveyboy_1ie

Woeful all round and if Fergie does not know he won't win anything with the squad the way it is then i have lost faith in him altogether, no bite in them until the last ten minutes and even then still no clue how to break an average team down

Brien

that was ****!NG shocking!!!

play like that for a season we might be lucky to get 5th

jesus_thats_gre

No comment

Burnley played their socks off.

Mr Alan

Well done Burnley.

Park has been dire. The more I see him play in the last year or so, the less I think he should play. He gets knocked off the ball so easily, and his finishing is really poor.

The Muppet

Well done Burnley, poor performance for united lots of possession very little threat on goal

Mitch Connor

Disgraceful.

I would love to think it wil spark Fergie into some transfer activity, bring in some top quality midfield player who can actually take the game to the oppostion AND create.

But it won't.

whether that is because the money isn't there or Fergie is too stuborn to pay the going rate, i don't know.

Pathetic.

dubmick

rubbish performance

Carrick with the back heel in the last attack ffs

Come on Burnley!

the lil man

cant believe it .....
he shouldn't have sold tevez no way

Mr.Nice Guy

Diabolical stuff from United. Well done to Burnley. Pleased for Owen Coyle but wish he'd got such a big result against another side.

United were so poor and I hope Fergie acknowledges that.

syngindub

will this spark some transfer panic from fergie?

kenon

Terrible result.

An early lesson learned though for united, don't give lesser opposition early opportunites because if they score they will park the bus.

Harpy

that was horrible.. terrible performance only good thing in that match that rooney didn't get sent off after nearly taking the head off your man..

titan18

I thought Evra played well.Giggs was ok in the middle.Berbatov and Valencia looked lively when they came on.

Brown,Anderson,Carrick,Owen and Park were shocking.None of them should get near the starting team on Saturday.

**** blaming this on Ronaldo. Ronaldo's talent is missed, but that was ****ing awful, awful from the majority of United players.

Owen, Carrick, Anderson, Park, Valencia all need to take a long ****ing look at themselves after that game, utterly shocking.

Desperately missed Fletcher, desperately, who woulda stepped up and treated Burnley with respect and worked his ass off to beat them.

**** this Ronaldo talk, United as a whole were utterly ****e, and while maybe Ronaldo woulda put away the penalty or whatever, it doesn't excuse an absolutely ****e performance.

Rooney get sent off? :pac:...in an English league game. Your kidding right.

Surely has to.

Valencia doesn't look anywhere in the same league as Ronaldo was. Park will always work hard, but he's never going to threaten defences. Centre midfield is a serious problem. Hargreaves is crocked, Scholes can't play a full season and Carrick is shockingly inconsistant.

In fairness, we are far from full strength defensively. With Rio and Vidic we may not have been so sloppy.

So disappointing.

We badly need a CM who can make somethng happen.

****in brutal performance. No midfield at all. Disgusted at that

hope the owen syndrom is not starting to rub off the players
