Bursaspor v Manchester United (UCL) Matchday 4 - TV3/SKY SPORTS 3 - (2/11/10) 7.45pm

Mars Bar

God damn it, dunno who to put in 3rd. So many candidates!

Nemanja91

I went

Scholes - There is nothing this man can't do!

Smalling - Getting better every game, very relaxed on the ball, I thought he was better than Vidic tonight and it hurts me to say it considering my username!

Carrick - Played well in last two games, Nice pass for the Fletch's goal, cut out a lot of play tonight and happy with his performance!

So it is now SEVEN games without a goal with Berbatov. He shocking tonight. No interest . Lazy and slow.

It now looks like he is back to his old self.

However is he immune from criticism because of his good start to the season? It seems he is to many on here.

To me it reeks unprofessionalism to have gone back to his old self.

Have you even read the thread?


A lot of people have lambasted him tonight for his attitude and this game.

He hasn't scored in seven games, but that doesn't mean he's had seven bad games.

Need someone new to pick on cause Carrick had a decent game?

Laughable.

You and ever other Manutd Fan. Bale and two top midfielders in the summer would be perfect.

Ben Shepard on Sky Sports calling it as it is.
Scholes, the quarter back

I'm sure one of the Blue Money will have something to say about that though.

Meh, that bubble is about to burst. I'd put money on him choosing Manutd over City. I know he rejected Manutd beofre but that was probably down to getting more of chance at Spurs.

Looking forward to watching the highlights of Manutd, Bebe seems to have a very good game along with Obertan.

Keep an eye on Carrick - solid throughout and Smalling too.

Berba looked pished off up on his own and let it get to him a little.

Other than that the second half was probably (for me) - the best we've seen from Utd this season.

Haha, Carrick playing well and Bera looking pished, same old story with him.

It's great to see the team playing well and getting a good run of results. Fergie is using his squad well, giving Obertan, Smalling and Bebe a chance. We have a few tough games coming up so confidence hopefully should be high.

He'll never come to us now. Doubt he would fancy getting raped by Rafael every day in training!!

My MOTM;

Scholes - What can you say? The little man is a genius, rarely does wrong, just one of the best passers and footballing visionaries I've ever seen play, makes thing comfortable for the midfield and never made a wrong move going forward. **** Ronaldo, Paul Scholes MVP.
Smalling - My goodness, has he come strong fast. Just so solid, calm and strong at the back, and a great passer at that, did everything 100% today fair play to him. Starting to look like a bargain, appears to have all the ingredients Rio had in his prime. Will be first choice centre back sooner rather than later, this kid has it.
Vidic - Solid as a rock, Bursa never really looked threatening thanks to him and Smalling of course, good captain too, strong today, makes great defending look effortless and is clever as ****!

Could've picked 2/3 other lads who would deserve it, but I feel these deserve it more.

Ah for god sake Doc give it a rest. You just said a lot of people were picking on him so why are you having a go at me??

He has played bad in most of those 7 games. No goals in 7 games is not good enough for a striker.

Carrick had a good game, about time but he has to do it all season. One game does NOT make a season.

Bebe was brilliant when he came on. The difference in attitude to Berb was huge.

I wasn't having a go at you for saying he had a bad game, I was just stating that you were wrong when you said that people weren't stating that because he had a good start, most people here tonight said he had a bad game, and were lambasting him for it.

Regards to carrick, he has had 3-4 good games in a row now, he is doing well since coming back from his injury, which kept him out at the start of the season.

If he continues showing a bad attitude for the season, i'm sure if Manutd got a good offer Fergie would say yes. He won't stand for it, never has in 24yrs.

newballsplease

Berbatov doesnt give 100% every game. Lazy,with a bad attitude. I dont mind seeing a player have a bad game occasionally...if he trys his best. which berbatov simply doesnt.
His attitude stinks tbh.

Hopefully as it has been a bad attitude for 2 seasons now and looks like after a great first few games it is well and truely back.

With Rooney out he has his chance and he is not the one taking it. It is the legend Hernandez. The difference in professionalism and attitude between them is astonishing.

And i think that is one reason i have never liked and never will like Berbatov even after he scored 3 against L'pool, attitude and always throwing his arms around as well.

Imo spurs and this game were the only poor games from berbatov.

No goals, yeah, but he has been key to our attacking threats in the other game imo.

Never fancy him as a lone striker, so knew he would have a poor one tonight.

West Brom? Sunderland (45mins) Thought he was poor in both those games. You say you knew he would have a poor one but we have just seen too many from him I'm afraid.

JerryHandbag

Delighted for Obertan, cracker of a goal. Smalling is making very steady progress in his United career.

Lovin' the tag!

MOTM
Scholes- Man if only he could leave his right leg at Old Trafford when he retires.
Smalling-OK he is not gonna start against Chelsea anytime soon BUT he is turning into some signing.
Vidic- What can you say about him except he simply gives his all week in week out.

Berbatov can't play as a lone striker, he got frustrated tonight as a result. Still a class act in general though.

Wile E. Coyote

Berbaflop has to be the most infuriating player to watch. He's not a class act he's lazy. He has more talent in his little toe than most players will ever have but refuses to push himself to the point where he'd break a sweat.

Um we'll buy him back how much?:D

Also I would love if the Old Trafford was rocking like that every match day but no the stewarts say sit down.

Old trafford past 8 years or so is a long way away from rocking like that consistently unfortunately

Yeah - Smalling looked very assured in defending and very comfortable bringing the ball forward too - I think he has been an excellent signing, very impressed so far.

Carrick had a good game too - lost the ball a couple of times, but in general his passing was very good and he got into great positions defensively and made some very good tackles, very encouraging, hope he can keep on going - signs of him getting back to the type of form we need to see from him.

Went Scholes, Obertan, Carrick as my picks, Smalling was very close with Carrick for 3rd. Though Park did very well when he came on too.
