  3. WeAreUnited says:

    glad to see 2 old partnerships

    Clevs and Carrick + Nani valencia ,

    I am happy seeing Jones as a CB, he will do great theere, that’s where he belongs!!!!

    bench? anyone?

  4. Rd5454 says:

    Sir Alex brilliant action put jones in starting to prove him is not the u21 grade

  5. WeAreUnited says:

    well the bench is also strong.

    yeah Kagawa missing is a surprise, but glad to see those two player of the year underperfrming lads getting their chance, and hopefully establishing it!

    cmon UNITED! RVP NANI and Chicha to score 3-1 for us

  6. Costas says:

    Shame Evans wasn’t ready for this. Hopefully Jones will cope well. Very good front 6. :)

  7. drv3011 says:

    @WeAreUnited

    Substitutes: Ben Amos, Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Shinji Kagawa.

  8. Costas says:

    Oops. My bad. Evans is starting.

  9. Costas says:

    That’s arguably our strongest line up.

  10. Rd5454 says:

    Why the lineup change suddenly ?

  11. Andromeda says:

    Great attacking lineup, hopefully I am wrong but I have a bad feeling about this game:/

  12. drv3011 says:

    oh the bench is up already.ignore my 2nd post everyone

  13. DreadedRed says:

    Come on United!

  14. WeAreUnited says:

    @drv cheers mate for the bench :) I also saw it when I came in to the thread

    so it’s Evans now? well good for him also.

    CMON UNITED!

  15. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    Other than me wanting Kagawa to start in place of Valencia, I absolutely LOVE this lineup. Perfect balance of attacking and defending in the side. Hopefully we can play some sublime football and win this game. COME ON LADS!!!!

  16. drv3011 says:

    @dannysoya LUB

    yeah i’d like kagawa instead of tony v too.kagawa has been pretty impressive and far more effective in his play than tony v of late.

  17. WeAreUnited says:

    off topic

    shel€ski lost to the revolution of france wee club 3-2.

    now it’s our chance, city having to play tomorrow liverpool, it’s our chance, let’s not drop points!

  18. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Strong team. Glad that rumor of Jones injury was bogus! Get In United!

  19. RedBorneo says:

    Tony V starting..? Hope he doing well his job today..
    UNITED..!

  20. Hans says:

    Lets do Fulham properly tonight.

    I’ve got a feeling dippers and bitters will draw tomorrow, and give us a firm control of the league!

  21. Andromeda says:

    Rafa is cracking up once again lol.its a tradition now, whenever the Spanish idiot pick on Fergie, he will only drown!bunch of twats, that is Chelsea.

  22. WeAreUnited says:

    again pundits arguing about de gea on espn live on my stream

    WOW doesn’t they get tired, did they saw peter chechs save today, straight to the path of sissoko, why not talking about that

    de gea is 22 and one of the best.

    back to the game

  23. Andromeda says:

    Beating Fulham is a great incentive to our title aspiration considering!would love to see Nani proving his doubters wrong.

  24. Richiebronx says:

    Where the hell is vidic,and i don’t jones anywhere on that line-up.

  25. WeAreUnited says:

    IN DAVID WE TRUST!

  26. RedPharaoe says:

    Am I the only one worried about our wingers not performing well lately? Hope nani and tony v perform today.

  27. ben says:

    Nice lineup. Support those players and they will play better. DDG will always be number 1.

  28. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    ESPN is disgraceful. These bastards have been laying into De Gea from the moment this fucking broadcast started. Thank Heavens they have lost all their premier league rights. De Gea will be the best keeper in this league in no time. I am fucking tired of stupid assholes who have NEVER been between the sticks for a club as big as United in their lives. Are they even allowed to be this fucking biased?

  29. sdsa says:

    whats with nanis hairstyle???!!

  30. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Danny, All ex liverpool players and liverpool fans. ESPN has been shocking for years if you know what to listen to. So glad they lost the contract. Good riddance!

  31. WeAreUnited says:

    yeah I also watching espn stream and said the same but

    @danny AMEN for that!

  32. WeAreUnited says:

    hahaha talking about riises left foot when de gea saved that like a crazy man hahaha PUNDITS aahaha

    IN DAVID WE TRUST

    I am loving our line-up and how we’re playing at the moment, very fluently like we used to with wingers.

  33. WeAreUnited says:

    welcome back Nani!!!!

  34. WeAreUnited says:

    valencia playing also better

    welcome back both of you!!

  35. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    Not even 20 mins yet and De Gea has pulled off two absolutely world class saves.

  36. kel says:

    Wow. Nani creating chances and danger. His new hairstyle makes him wake up lol

  37. Dela says:

    Loving the pace of this game. Couple of our attacks have been lovely, even tho somehow we haven’t scored yet but does look like we will. They look determined too, fulham were always going to be a different team at home anyway.

  38. rohitvarkey says:

    can anyone give some streams please

  39. belfast red. says:

    Im having to listen to this on fucking talksport! Arrrgh! Stan collymore does my head in..

  40. Hans says:

    Come on lads we are better than this! We need a better final ball in front of their goal.

    @belfast red, try this

    http://atdee.net/59814/watch-fulham-vs-manchester-united

  41. santaClaus says:

    Fucking Woodwork again !

  42. belfast red. says:

    Fuck that sounded close! Lol. C,mon da fuck United!

  43. Dela says:

    Fergie, sign up that fulham goal frame.

  44. WeAreUnited says:

    @dela hahah funny

    Nani is outstanding today!!!

  45. belfast red. says:

    @hans. thank you bro!

  46. WeAreUnited says:

    we should get RVP back to the game! he’s been too quiet

  47. Hans says:

    Come on United. The match should have been over by now!

  48. kel says:

    From what i see, Nani cant seems confident enough to cross with his left foot or his crossing on his left foot is bad. He seems hesistant to cross fast enoughj. Other than that, he’s doing fine. At the moment Valencia seems not confident to cross with his right foot.

  49. Hans says:

    @no problem mate.
    Anybody is better tan that cunt!

  50. Hans says:

    It is not happening for Tony and Tom!

  51. DEVILisRED says:

    Nani is outstanding? Tot his passing has been poor in the first half. We are attacking alot down the left flank no doubt but he has been doubled teamed too much by fulham i tot

  52. WeAreUnited says:

    I thiknk after 60 minutes, put Nani to the right wing and bring Kagawa to the left

  53. James7t7 says:

    United Fans vocal today.. Lovin the kickin a blue chant :)

  54. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    Everything’s gotten a bit dark. LOL.

  55. kel says:

    Spotlight faulty? =p

  56. santaClaus says:

    What the hell?

  57. LoneStarRed says:

    Lights out.

  58. DEVILisRED says:

    Blacked out? Time to switch fabio from qpr for rafael for some fresh leg lol

  59. Pratyush says:

    Good play by United uptil now. Really close to scoring. Fulham started well, but United have contained them since.

  60. Hans says:

    if the lights don’t come back on, we should win by default shouldn’t we?

  61. Andromeda says:

    Black out at craven cottage:/

  62. Dela says:

    We’ll play in the dark..
    We’ll play in the daaaaaark..
    We’re Man United….
    We’ll play in the dark!

  63. zigoo says:

    WILL SOMEONE GET TONY V OUT OF THE FUCKING PITCH?

    HE GOES ROUND IN CIRCLES LIKE A CLOWN…GET HIM OFF AND STICK YOUNG OR CHICHA ON WITH ROONEY ON LEFT

  64. LoneStarRed says:

    Symbolic of Chelsea’s season. Lights out.

  65. adazi says:

    what is happening?

  66. Diego says:

    Way too wasteful… Also, stop giving away stupid, needless free kicks. It is the only way that they might get something.

  67. Sushi says:

    Craven Cottage really is a fucking shit hole isn’t?

  68. drv3011 says:

    well played dela :D

  69. Costas says:

    Joke club.

  70. evisu says:

    We should be up with 2-3 goals. Fucking unlucky.

  71. LoneStarRed says:

    OK. Adjust attack. Score!

  72. zigoo says:

    how did evra miss that open goal frm 3 yards out? :O :O :O :O :O

  73. aberbacadabra says:

    piss take club.

  74. santaClaus says:

    Valencia has been pretty poor, he has created from the righ so far

  75. Costas says:

    Don’t know but it seems like one of those days for us. Can’t seem to score. Hope we get a break in the 2nd half.

  76. belfast red. says:

    Maybe Sir Alex turned the lights out as he didn’t want to watch tony v! The guy looks totally out of sorts. Get welbeck on second half please..

  77. kel says:

    I’m not sure why Valencia didnt play well recently. Maybe give him some break? But hes been playing poorly today.

  78. aberbacadabra says:

    argh!!! this is not happening, f*ckin unlucky.

  79. zigoo says:

    bloody fuckin wasteful…reminds me of that swansea game…fuckin 3 posts n evra misin frm 3 yrds out…

    wtffff valencia is sooo shit….hes been shit for 6 months now…i hope he dznt play against real…get the clown out n stick young or kagawa on the left or put rooney and stick chicha up front n lets get some goals…

    evans…wake up!

  80. James7t7 says:

    Need to step it up second half or risk a 0-0 here

  81. WeAreUnited says:

    I would put Kagawa on to the left and Nani to his preferred right.

    but this after 55-60minutes.

    And if it continues 0-0, bring Chicharito the goalscorer on to hit a hattrick!

    I am pretty confident we deal this game .

  82. WeAreUnited says:

    @zigoo

    yes, we know he’s not playign well, but calm down mate, support the man! I bet SAF will take him off, so take it easy, don’t pour everything out mate

  83. WeAreUnited says:

    young isn’t even on the bench so how you put young there in this game??

  84. WeAreUnited says:

    @costas

    we’re so close to score, that it will eventually happen, is it at 46 minute or 91, it will happen!

    we’re ManUtd and we’ll score when we want haha :P

  85. rijah says:

    Is the match postponed?

  86. Andromeda says:

    To be honest and despite all our clear cut goal scoring opportunities, Fulham did a fantastic job in defence, they managed to halt Robin Van Persie in the best way and that have cleared the way for Rooney, however the latter was unfortunate.more positives is the Nani’s form!I Should say he was incredible, Valencia was also in fine form but the dense Fulham defending have made it quite difficult for our wingers.in the second half I predict more space although Fulham might even be more tenacious!we should be 100%focused.

  87. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    We’ve created so many chances. We HAVE to score soon. The longer we go without scoring the more they get into the game. Valencia once again has been off the pace. Get Kagawa on soon.

  88. zigoo says:

    weareunited

    mate i been supportin him for a while now…but he has been really really poor u cant get away with such poor performances….he goes around in circles then gets in a poor cross that usually goes nowhere or hits the first man…its terrible tbh..u just knw he will lose it when he gets it…

    i think he had his 3 gd seasons and cant do more and must be jaded imo…

  89. WeAreUnited says:

    yeah no don’t get me wrong man, I know you have , but I mean, we know he’s doing bad and is out of form, but you’re sounding a bit diabolical :D

    cause he’s not doing well and SAf will get him out, it’s either Welbeck or Kagawa on :)

    PS. I didn’t know that DDG saved that second shot WOW. how did I miss that.

    IN DAVID WE TRUST, these ESPN pundits couldn’t say anything on halftime hahah they just said, QUOTE “we all knew he’s a good shotstopper” after seeing the second save.

    and now they’re saying Nani is playing bad hahahaha crazy pundits C-R-A-Z-Y

    It’s like they are purpously tryign to dig on some of our starplayers WOW, why am I surprised.

  90. Hans says:

    Come on lads!!!

  91. Red4ever says:

    Gooo reds go ,,,,, we need three points desperately c’mon guys tear them apart

  92. Hans says:

    Tony just wasted another good position!

  93. evisu says:

    Michael Owen brought a curse on the number seven shirt!

  94. belfast red. says:

    Wake up lads ffs!

  95. santaClaus says:

    hoping for kagawa to come on for valencia and put nani on the right ,

  96. Hans says:

    We are making a very hard work of this!

  97. Andromeda says:

    Stupid tactic fro Fulham!they are killing off the game.Anderson and Chica must come in.

  98. Hans says:

    Come on Fergie, bring Kagawa and Giggsy on!

  99. James7t7 says:

    Cleverly looks so off pace today. Cmon lads nick a goal!

  100. kel says:

    I think United now playing so sloppy due to their anxiety of the result. I think there need to be a goal to calm them down.

  101. Robbo's red army says:

    To my shame I not got to a game this season for various reasons but what’s the new chant the red army are constantly singing? Something like city r blue……?

  102. RedBorneo says:

    Tony V must be replaced Now Fergie..!

  103. belfast red. says:

    Im going to be abit leftfield and say R.vp needs to come off for Hernandez. Sir alex won,t do it tho…

  104. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    What the fuck are we waiting for? GET VALENCIA OFF!!!

  105. belfast red. says:

    Thats more like it!

  106. georgejoseph says:

    this poor very poor

  107. belfast red. says:

    Here we go. C,mon DA FUCK UNITED!

  108. Sushi says:

    wtf this shite team never plays well fuc koff u cunts and let us win

  109. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    FUCKING COME ON BOYSSS!!!!

  110. Hans says:

    We have been very poor second half. We cannot afford to let them score now!

  111. georgejoseph says:

    Nani is shit

  112. santaClaus says:

    just doesnt seem to happen upfront , final third is poor

  113. Hans says:

    I cannot believe how bad our decision making has been!!!!

    Come on lads, we can do better than this!

  114. Hans says:

    We are living dangerously!!!

  115. belfast red. says:

    Fucking cup final for fulham the cunts! This is doing my loaf in!

  116. James7t7 says:

    Roooooooooooney!!!

  117. redted says:

    Yes

  118. belfast red. says:

    Yeeees! GET FUCKIN IN THERE!!

  119. santaClaus says:

    ROOOONNEEEYY!!!!!!!!! fuckk yea !

  120. FletchTHEMAN says:

    ROOOOOOONEYYYYYYY

  121. kel says:

    Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  122. Hans says:

    Fucking helllll!!!! Finally!

  123. James7t7 says:

    Reminiscent of Ronaldos goal there in 2007 only a tad earlier!

  124. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    WAYNE MOTHERFUCKING ROOONEEEEYYYY!!!!!! YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  125. AlphaRS says:

    Feck me I didn’t think United were gonna score today…!

  126. AlphaRS says:

    I hope this isn’t gonna be where United sit back for the last ten minutes inviting all the pressure on again.

  127. Andromeda says:

    It seems that Rooney’s hunger is bigger than anything on the pitch.

  128. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    Please United DO NOT SIT BACK!!! GET ANOTHER ONE!!! please. This is what happened against Spurs.

  129. Hans says:

    Great first half from Nani, but he was as poor as the others in the second.

  130. belfast red. says:

    Welbeck should of been on ages ago! C,mon United!!

  131. domunited says:

    Watching replays of wazza’s goal – using the defender as a shield, the curl – magnificent.

  132. kel says:

    Yeah. Cleverly was poor in the 2nd half as well. Nani was poor in the 2nd half but almost asssit RVP nearly the end. Overall lets sit this out!

  133. Andromeda says:

    RVP is fantastic today despite not scoring but Evans is our best player tonight.

  134. santaClaus says:

    how did he miss it ?

  135. belfast red. says:

    This is seriously bad for the heart…

  136. belfast red. says:

    Thank fuck. A well earned 3 points.

  137. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EVRA. PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FUCKING BALL FOR FUCK’S SAKE. FUCKING HELL!!! Giving me a fucking heart attack.

  138. James7t7 says:

    SAF and Ando at the end… Funny!

  139. Robbo2Keano says:

    That goals reminds me of the ronaldo goal in the 06-07 season. what a time to score

  140. FletchTHEMAN says:

    Full time Fulham 0 – Man United 1 (Rooney 89′)

    Ref Friend doing everything to try to beat United, but 3 points and 10pts clear.

  141. belfast red. says:

    Stand out player’s for me. De gea and Evans. Great to see the latter back and hes just slotted straight back in.. im away for a pint! We shall not be moved! Goodnite folks! :)

  142. LoneStarRed says:

    Ref did us no favors.

    THREE POINTS!!

  143. WeAreUnited says:

    yeah Nani was great in the first half, poor i nthe second, Valencia improved o nthe second btu still anynomuous.

    Rooney thank you, DDG thank you, RVP and Rafael thank you for the clereances.

    This is the spirit guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chicha should have scored, btu he’s becoming Maradona these days, going past players when when wants.

    back four a clean sheet, NICE½! Giggsy is coming on form amazing player. RVP was quiet but still amazing.

    yeah I am happy with the 3 points and the spirit!

  144. Hans says:

    Yet another poor second half performance, yet we walk away with three points.

    Rather than wining by 4 or 5, we were hanging on for dear life at the end, and then rather than keeping the ball, we were very sloppy.

    Anyway, a win is a win, and I am sure the hair-dryer is in overdrive just now!!!

  145. Andromeda says:

    This result could prove to be pivotal in our title chance!let us see what looserpool can do against shitty!!

  146. Costas says:

    A vital win. The kind of win that leads to championships.

    However, it’s a worrying sign that we were once again below par in the 2nd half of the game. It’s a nasty trend that we’ve picked up the last month.

  147. WeAreUnited says:

    BTW

    again one more referee to go in our black book.

    how on earth are all the referees against us this season? what’s happening?

    anyway, we’re not giving up and winning despite that!

    we’ll ManUtd and we’ll do what we want-

  148. evisu says:

    Should’ve killed it in the 1st half, but that’s football. Nice with a clean sheat. The back four was great and Rooney hitting form is good for the reminder of the season. Now just hope Liverpool can steal a point or three tomorrow!

  149. WeAreUnited says:

    @costas

    I think this games second half wasn’t as bad as the one at home against Soton.

    I think, Nani’s level got down in the second half and Valencia was again off, and that led us to be a bit slumpier, but a betetr second half than the last one me thinks!

  150. zigoo says:

    made extremely hard work of this

    tony v is a liability and as i said earlier switching rooney on left and bringin on chicha will sort it and it duly delivered…

    rvp was anonymous,his decision making was poor (what was he trying to do when carrick passed the ball to him,it was easier to shoot),and his runs were even worse,but can be forgiven altho he had a stinker vs saints too..

    clevz,rafa were poor…especially rafa,so poor on the ball n clumsy n sloppy…

    anyway,a wins a win,however ugly it is…we shdve been up 5-0 at the break,and complacency was creepin in

    ggmu

  151. FletchTHEMAN says:

    ROONEY, maybe second in the goals, but tops in guts! Now in double figures for 9th season in a row.

  152. Pratyush says:

    That was a good match to win. Fulham brought on their entire strikeforce, but United, through some excellent defending, ensured that nothing happened.

  153. Dela says:

    Nice one! :-) Great finish from Rooney, that really was a scrappy bloody game! Absorbed a hell of a lot of pressure again today, that’ll toughen up the lads big time, they’ll walk away from there knowing Fulham gave 110% but couldn’t even get a point off us.

  154. wayne says:

    Good result thing is with Everton and Rent Boys dropping points Dippers still have a chance of top 4.Those fuckers have a lot to play for tomorrow

  155. WeAreUnited says:

    RVP 22 goals and 6 assists

    Chicharito 14 goals 5 assists

    Rooney 13goals and 9 assists

    Welbeck 1 goals and 3 assists

    13 comebacks already.

    LOOKING GOOD GUYS and reminding the 99 treble stats.
    Not going ahead, but CMON UNITED!

  156. Longsight Red says:

    Bloody ell…. Wow.. I fell dirty and please God forgive me, but I hope Looserfool win tomorrow. Sorry

  157. Andromeda says:

    Phew!what a relief, it seems that we can’t take our breath for a moment there days, City will be chasing us all the way!from Fergie’s face you will realize how important winning the title this season.

  158. DohaRed says:

    Great defence. De Gea incredible fingertip save on to the post. Evans, Ferdinand, Rafael superb. And Rooney a brilliant finish.

    Great performance by the lads. Fans at the ground were brilliant too.

    Out of Shitty and Scumerpool tomorrow who do you choose? Pity they can’t both lose. But who cares – Sir Alex has total concentration on winning the league.

  159. dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:

    These three points have been fucking IMMENSE. But I want to re echo Costas’ sentiments. We are tailing off big time in the second half of games. We CANNOT afford to play like this against Madrid in two weeks time. We’ve got to get our act together and FINISH GAMES. We have dodged a huge bullet. COME ON YOU FUCKING DIPPERS!!! If there’s one game I want Suarez to play well in, it’s tomorrow.

  160. DohaRed says:

    Zigoo – Rafa poor? What fucking game were you watching?

  161. Longsight Red says:

    Steve, a season ticket holder from Warrington not missed a home game in about 20 years . Was at the Fulham game last week and had a heart attack Sat night, he’s OK now but games like that aren’t gonna do him any good!! We are all being made to suffer!! But don’t you just love being a United fan!

  162. Red4ever says:

    Really had to work hard for three points we got today ,,,, actually evans was impressive today he gives us the pace at back to push up ,, he got back to block really fast he is becoming great player if he stays focused he will ne great ,,,,

    rooney the man he is our tallisman no mater what people say he is our legend most under rated player in the world ,, he is just terriffic he has now sccored 8 in his last 7 games and all of them were important ones 2 against shitty , 2 against soton , and now the winning goal ,,plzzz start backing him he is our legend already 194-195 goals for man utd he will go past 300 really hope he does ,,,, GGMU !!!!!!!

  163. Andromeda says:

    Next is Everton and we are up to a vengence!I can’t see us losing many points at this time but watch out ladies and gentlemen!the most insane league in the whole universe!thats premier league.

  164. zigoo says:

    doha

    what fucking game were u watching?

    it was like fire was on his feet and he had to get rid of it,his passy was sloppy and lost the ball on so many occasions IN OUR OWN HALF!
    get ur fuckin blinds off u ignorant twat…

  165. Costas says:

    @WeAreUnited

    Yeah it wasn’t as bad as Southampton, but we still dropped our performance levels by a bit. Don’t know why that happened when we should be the ones chasing the game. Plus, why bring on Welbeck at 1-0 instead of Anderson? Made a similar mistake at Spurs. Thankfully it wasn’t costly here.

  166. Longsight Red says:

    They looking tired to anyone else?

  167. wayne says:

    City are vulnerable with Toure and Kompany missing,ever the Dippers have a chance of turning them over its tomorrow

  168. DohaRed says:

    Zigoo – what a stupid name. Sure you weren’t watching subbuteo or something. You are the ignorant twat. Can’t even spell properly, you tosser. His “passy” was sloppy was it, faglord.

    With the internatiob break on the edge, the lads should take care of themselves.

    Our healthy squad could well be struck with needless letlags and stupid injuries.anyway well done, as I said this result is so important that we need to memorize it in case we win the title!

    Despite the floodlight power failure, referee’s poor form and Fulham’s immense defensive tactic, the lads has come in great form.of course our second half was a kick in butt, nevertheless overall we were fantastic.

    Had a bit of the arse gravy for a while there,but sorted now great win.

  173. Andromeda says:

    I should agree with you Costas, normally when you bring Giggsy in, you should take his age into account and since the wingers were also among the substitute list, why don’t you bring Anderson instead of Danny?!I was really worry about this, the balance shift could in against us and could have been costy.
    Playing with Wayne, RVP, Chica, Danny, and Giggs with Carrick as the only holding midfielder in the last 10-15mins in a game where you are ahead with one goal is a plain suicide.repeating there kinda mistakes will be a thorn in our road toward the title.perhaps Fergie brought welbeck for his height and his ability to press the ball up in the pitch but thats still not a justification, it was a pure mistake IMO.

    Yet another pathetic performance. To win the title you do need games where you scrape the win but fucking hell. The best United team in the Premier League my fucking anus. The laundry list of problems is long so I wont bother just the main two.

    1 – The partnership of Rooney and Van Persie lacks movement. When Hernandez entered the game or any game his running of the channels makes the opposition defense far more uncomfortable.

    2 – The lack of pressure on the opposition central midfield is fucking ridiculous. Today we had the game taken to us by a Xaviesque performance by CHRIS FUCKING BAIRD. Any player can play without pressure. The Fulham central midfielders were given five, ten, fifteen and in extra time twenty yards of space. If we give Xabi Alonso that we are going to have a few very bad days.

    … but its a win the scum dare not lose tomorrow.

    I think Liverpool might do us a favour with Suarez and Sturridge, their possession football and Vincent Kompany being out.

    Guys, the main reason Fulham got so intense at the end of the game is they had NOTHING to lose. Losing 1-0 or 2-0 doesn’t mean that much for a team in their current position, so as soon as Rooney scored I knew they would pile on the pressure big time, and they didn’t disappoint. They took the risk, and Hernandez really should have punished them for it, but in the end we walk away with 3 points, sitting 10 points clear and with a City side that are looking far more worse for wear than us about to face a Liverpool who simply need to win tomorrow.

    But ye, I’d rather not be on the verge of cardiac arrest toward the end of the game, but at the same time if you told me at kick off it’d be 1-0 with a lot of pressure and a lot of bad luck against us, I’d be delighted.

    And if Liverpool have enough dignity, they should try their best against City.the defeat of both Chelsea and Everton means they have a clear but chance to step up the laddr and test their luck to be amongst the top 4.a club with such history and fame shouldn’t give their ass to the opponents just because united will be advantageous.we all remember what Gerrard done against Chelsea few years ago when we lost the title.

    Speaking about the players.in my opinion Evans was our best player on the pitch, his performance reminded me of the Italian legend Maldini, he was a best and behind every interception, and what is interesting about Evans is his ability to dribble the ball and go forward fearlessly, he was simply magnificent.
    Rooney was also amazing and he was second best player, he is simply born to play, a team soldier, playing wholeheartedly to win, a winner by nature, moreover a mature player.

    Carrick, as always a fully focused calm player with accurate passing quality both vertically and diagonally.a tactical player in the highest class.

    RvP, he didn’t score but his clever movement and his ball controll are second to none, a fantastic footballer and a true selfless striker, he have Nani a golden pass in the box but the latter couldn’t translate it well.himself couldn’t covert a brilliant short cross from Nani but overall was always there.

    Nani & valencia were both good at first half and totally disappeared in the second.the season is long so they can still prove their worth, I am sure they will.

    Cleverly was a good comrade for Carrick and Rooney, but I don’t know he was just out of pace in the second period.may be he was tired!

  178. WeAreUnited says:

    @costas

    yeah that’s true also

    I was wondering also why ando didn’t get in, but I though bringing Nani off was a good choice cause he got tired. That’s why I think our performance dropped cause Nani was one of the main man who contributed today, though he wasn’t at his best yet (his 3rd game after injury)

    but I understand what your saying, tactically it was a strange option.

    BTW our strikers are on fire. for example

    if RVP is underperforming -> rooney to the rescue -> if rooney is underperforming -> chicha to the rescue -> if chicha is underperforming -> RVP to the rescue

    I LOVE THIS.

    @dela mate yeah exaclty ! they had to take te risk, they lose nothing by going all in. But we fought!

    wayne @ 21:00: “City are vulnerable with Toure and Kompany missing”

    They were relatively lucky with injuries last season – now the worm is turning. Since LiverPoo AND Shitty can’t BOTH lose tomorrow, a draw would be a reasonable result ‘cos it would burst two bubbles.

    @daniel88

    rooney’s goal was a solo effort with chicha having no role in it at all. He’s a phenomenal player in a poacher’s role but can he create and score a goal like the other two ? I doubt it. Yesterday was not the first time he was one on one with the keeper and he lost it

  181. Daniel88 says:

    @MansionOfTheReds

    Never said Hernandez had a role in the goal.

    Hernandez’s constant movement and running the channels makes massive spaces for his strike partner and our midfield.
