Utd look absolutely clueless.

I dont like having Rooney up front on his own. He tends to be way too isolated and out of the game when he s the lone striker. He is so much better when he has a free roaming role and he can influence the game

TheDoc

HAve both the United game and Bayern game on the PC here, absolute masterclass from Bayern in how a midfield should operate.

Smash the ****ing bank for Kroos,....

Pen.Island

If Young had did what Kagawa did there he'd have got some abuse.

Corvo

Giggs and Young

kryogen

Giggs cant find a United player tonight, cant track back, cant tackle. Needs to go home now

Lord TSC

Giggs has been absolutely useless tonight...

sea_monkey

lol giggs against these brazilians is going to be good....

Danger781

Giggs needs to retire.

RasTa

Just run at rio and you can get by him

Was just about to post this. We're awful.

Quandary

It's hard to believe Utd are the home team here

Neeson

Giggs is there for his mentality not for his body.

City back in it now, getting some passes together and pulled back a goal.

Kirby

City have just scored. Silva. 2-1 now. Seems a better game than this one. :P

kryogen

Jan has zero interest in ever tracking his man. Zero

I dunno, there's a difference between trying something like that and totally failing to do simple things.

Uniteds play is pedestrian, Shacktar actually move the ball with purpose

I mentioned that earlier in the thread. He's just there for the obviously lacking leadership in the squad. Not doing much good clearly.

Zico

This is awful yet again.

Moyes can't expect to keep fans onside while playing like this.

CSF

Jesus Christ Moyes has not a breeze

Danger781

I think United just need to score once.. Then they'll breathe easier..

Tensions are high at OT

kryogen

Jesus Christ Rio is so slow

adox

Rio is a disaster.

TheDoc

Jesus christ ferdinand, having a ****ing stinker tonight

Fred should have buried that!

Nemanja91

Ferdinands finished.

Really should have..

Neeson

Ferdinand should have paid for that. Could be 2-0

TheFullDuck

That Taison is some tidy little player

J. Marston

Rio, do a Neville and realise you're shít.

Pen.Island

Everything wrong with this team for all to see in the first 25 mins.

shano_88

United have been truley awful so far.

The central midfield is a joke against a team who will press high and have technical ability and pace, the midfield have no chance of getting a hold in this game given the qualities Giggs and Jones bring to the positions

adox

Only a matter of time before Shaktar score.

mike65

That spell at 20 mins by Brazil Shaktar was just a joy to watch, needed a goal though.

Lord TSC

You would nearly wonder if Rio is trying to throw the game...

wonderfullife

Shakthar not scared of United one bit. The aura is long gone.

Having said that they might live to regret wasting these golden chances. Can see United getting a scruffy set-piece goal or unconvincing 0-0 draw despite so far being the inferior side.

TheDoc

Have growing sympathy for Moyes, Fergie looking more like a crafty exit.

Completely deteriorating centre backs with Vidic and Ferdinand, complete void in CM.

Moyes needs time and money with this squad

Corvo

Are we sure United aren't in white tonight?

Seriously, how can Moyes survive in this job if we are going to be constantly shredded by the like of Everton, Newcastle and Shakhtar?

sea_monkey

Kinda miss Rooney playng CM

Giruilla

What.. the.. f*ck... have united turned into?? this is hilariously bad!

Amirani

Game between Galatasaray v Juventus in Istanbul stopped at the moment because of heavy snow.

dmc17

WTF was that?

I've never witnessed such a shocking drop in quality in a squad. The more matches I'm watching the more growing concern I have that Moyes is getting alot more stick then deserved here.

A squad that needs shattering and rebuilding

EDIt: Young case in point, for **** sake

Mars Bar

Sweet suffering mother Young. That should be in the net! PAss it to Rooney you ____

deafroadrunner

how did he miss that:eek:

Neeson

The only good thing about United losing this game would be to hear what Mr Dunphy has to say tomorrow evening.

kryogen

This is painful, no other game plan but try to work a crossing position, hit a hopeful cross.

Pathetic use of the support line

Young **** off
