Not able to watch the match but following it on BBC website.

Why am I not shocked to see Blackpool 2-0 up at half time?

Wondering why Scholes started over Anderson. Something tells me Rooney is having a FANTASTIC game also /sarcasm.

Whatever about Scholes, why Gibson is ahead of Anderson I don't know. At least Scholes has something to offer.

No more then Blackpool desereve, in truth it could be more . . This is why Blackpool are most peoples favourate 2nd team and fair play to them.

Think United can still pull it back but they have to get the thumbs out. I used to get frustrated with FIFA (PS3) games as I thought there was never a time when an entire team simply turned to muck . . Games like this prove me wrong . .

Personally, I would make 3 changes (pick any 3 of the outfield 10!).

Gibson - Giggs , Anderson - Scholes (gonna be sent off), Hernandez for Rooney (Main reason is because Rooney has not been scoring).

OK, we were 2 down at Villa. Comeback in the second half!

Diabhal Beag

Can't see United not scoring in the second half. Love Blackpool but they will have their work cut out for them in the second half, specifically Ian Evatt.

ShamoBuc

Thoroughly deserving of their lead and they normally play better in the second half!

eh? Blackpool are poor at home and will be completely caught out by any counter attacks, 1-4 to United I reckon.

:rolleyes:

I can't believe how many people were writing off Blackpool before this game. Ridiculous.

Get Gibson off please.

Rio's absence proves his true worth.

IvySlayer

Gibson off for Giggs please.

Fúck off, seriously.

Have you ever called any non-United player up on something like that?

Yeap and reported.

United will still win this, they have performed like this all season away from home and are still unbeaten somehow.

smokedeels

Get Anderson on, sell Gibson at half time.

i say giggs will come on for Gibson at half time and Ando for Scholes after an hour.

Havent seen the game but no surprise a midfield of Scholes and Gibson getting the runaround.

Never a truer word said!!! Shocking display here. I am actually sick watching such a poor quality United. Anderson and Carrick are our best CMs at the minute. With Carrick injured, a straight swap with Fletch should have sufficed.
Looks like SAF took Holloway for granted, and is shown up big time for his selection.

NickDrake

Get Rooney off the pitch. He is brutal out there. Hernadez on!!

Scholes is a phenomenal player don't get me wrong, I just don't think he does well starting and we benefit alot more when he comes on as a sub in the second half.

I can't believe Gibson is playing over Anderson either, that lad is a total donkey.
Don't know how we're gonna turn this one around but I hope to **** Blackpool aren't the ones to end our unbeaten run, even though it looks like it's heading that way. Ugh.

nicklauski

Get that useless cúnt Gibson off the pitch, and fúcking sell him. Jesus I have lost all patience in him. I dont know what it is Fergie sees in him.

I havent seen United play this bad since West Ham. And even at that, that was a weakened 11. Tonight is just inexcusable.

Gibson and Scholes off at half time. With possibly Rooney following at 60 minutes. He hasn't done a thing tonight.

If United get anything from this game, it won't be deserved. Blackpool have walked all over United tonight.

yabadabado

worst display in a long time.Get giggs and anderson on at HT.

Scholes gets booked, then proceeds to tell the ref to fu*k off.

Second yellow? No chance

You misunderstood. . He then proceeded to ask the ref if he had seen "face off".

Agreed. United will still get something from this. They have great fight in them as a club.

Hindsight is wonderful isn't it!

I predicted Blackpool to be 2-0 up at ht with Cathcart and Campbell scoring from corners. It was ridiculous to think otherwise.

Should have sold him and stick Hernandez up there

He is brutal out there.

He has the first touch of a donkey ,cant kill any ball.

Get gibson and scholes off, anderson and hernandez on and go for it.

Also swap adam for gibson and 5 million

Gibson is poor but Scholes is having a pretty shíte game too lads.

Is Anderson the only CM on the bench?

Bring him on and the mexican lad and play Rooney on the wing?

McMananamamaman and Savage have thee most annoying voices ever.

I think we can still win this, the right changes and we can bring this back!

Is Andy Gray watching the match?

MisterAnarchy

United have been riding their luck big time away from home all season ,they are due a defeat .Might wake them up .
They have had zero creativity in that midfield tonight.
Gibson and Fletcher have been given a lesson by Adam.

I'd rather a 3-2 fight back with a wake up from that

Fergie will take a lot from the first half long-term. Gibson especially.

Have Blackpool been the best footballing team in England this season?

I just text a Liverpool mate of mine with that. How Gibson is rated about 5m when Adams is only rated the same is beyond me.

I still believe as well, but we need to see Anderson and Javier on in the second half and go for it, nothing to lose now.

Need hernandez up front to try and peg back Blackpool, atm we look like shipping 3 or 4
