Team news yet? I hope Owen starts.
United team: Foster, Neville, J.Evans, Brown, Fabio; Obertan, Anderson, Rafael, Welbeck; Owen, Macheda. Subs: Amos, O’Shea, De Laet, C.Evans, James, Tosic, King.
Where’s gibson????
Raf in mid field? I like it.
finally get to see obertan in 1st team action.
He looks great on youtube, lol.
my guess for starting xi:
owen, kiko up front , welbeck, obertan on the wings.
gibson, and ander-son-son-son in the middle.
fabio, evans, da laet, raphael
foster
hopefully we can see eikrem, king, and tosic come on as subs in the second half.
with mame biram diouf and adem ljalic coming into the squad in january our future prospects look quite bright!
can’t wait to finally see the highly skilled obertan in a game that counts!
ooh aah obertan!
hadn’t heard the team yet!
where’s gibson?
@ ben
beat me to it, SAF may be pushing forward as he sees de laet as the right back to rafael’s right midfield
Makes sense, doesn’t it?
my mistake rafael is playing through the middle. Obertan on the right
why not Eikrem in subs either ?
Eikrem is back in Norway recovering from injury, I believe.
1-0 welbeck header from an anderson corner
the away support is unreal
heres a welbeck chant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8tcqaksiho
quality ball from ando that almost gave welbeck his second
ando gonna score a peach tonite
fukin hell! wats with all the back passsing
foster in danger of havin another clanger of he aint careful
almost from obertan
Watch the set pieces boys and Nev get stuck in to that winger show him who’s boss
need to defend them corners better
is it me or is Wellbeck hogging the ball too much ….. needs to keep his eyes on who is around instead of trying to do too much himslf…. going off him fast
bloody hell that obertan lads quick
obertan getting more of the ball now that he’s moved onto the left wing
pretty poor movement in the final 3rd so far, especially in the box. owen typically is getting in the right spaces, but everyone else is being too greedy, or standing around waiting for the ball to come to them.
welbeck tracking back well also
Obertan looks like a decent player. Will his rise spell an end for Nani?
I was hoping to see a revelation from Rafael in the center of midfield…. But on second thought, lets keep him at right back…
probably should be 1-1. lucky to be leading. come on united!!!
obertan looks decent thus far, and what great pace he has. hope he sees more of the ball in the 2nd half. he’s getting fouled right before he tries to skip by his markers. like to see him go at defenders more so we can see some of his tricks.
owen shud hav scored there
great ball from ando to tosic
what a goal owen… great run and tucked it into the corner
owen!!!!!!!! go on my son!!!!
brilliant from owen
2-0
Thats why SAF signed him …. made it look fucking simple…..
luv the way he danced through the defence
off?? wtf he went for the ball sure the leg was high but twas a great tackle
fuck! what the hell neville
straight red for red-nev
oh dear!
Nev, got the ball, not sure he meant it, but the way ref’s are treating us at the moment you just knew it would be red.
2 great goals, now keep it tight and hit these tyke twats on the break.
I know we’re a man light but we’re defending like muppets!
does foster seem confused out there or what?
Brown and Evans are being bossed around by some 2nd rate strikers what the fuck is going on …. Jesus get some steel in the defence for fucks sake boys
We’re lucky they’re shit!
how many chances to these guys need
that Bognadovich, or what the fuck the cunts is called, is a nasty snide fucker aint he …he has had a couple of sly digs at Fabio leaving the boot in
Great save Foster!
Bout time Foster earnt his corn ….
good save though
good save foster
great save Ben!
Does anyone else think Wes is worried about picking up more injuries? there has been a few occasions when the Wes of a couple of years ago would have gone in for a hard tackle but he seems to be a bit tentative today.
anderson should have done better
hamill is a nasty wee shit
fucking crap game against a crap team
Job done! Glad Owen got on the score sheet, was a neat finish!
United away support excellent tonight.
Couple of morons got onto the pitch and put the ball that was about to be taken by foster for a goal kick into the net.
Shout from the crowd “fergie fergie sign him up”
whole Barnsley team were nasty pieces of work…. our first team would have destroyed them cunts…. as it was, our second team did the biz, although Nev should have kept his foot down a tad and took his fucking ankle instead of under the pricks knee….
good game
Funny how all the Referees seem to want to be in the papers next day after doing one of our games….seems they like to issue us with cards and such like and let our players be kicked and pushed to fuck with no cards ( or not many)
offered against the opposition
Happy with the win. That’s 4 red cards already this season. We will break last season’s record at this pace…
hahahaha! The fascists are losing 3-0! mwahaha… ha!
ps Scott, your need to turn your clock back. My life is all out of kilter!
The away support of the Red Army is fantastic in cup games like these, simply stunning, love it.
As Scott just wrote about Nevs foolish behavior, the tackle made the point clear – if anybody didnt get it sunday. Glad to see Ben did well, and to me man of the match Ando
Obertan is very reminiscent of Djibril Cisse – long legs, very fast, and runs like a stallion. Let’s hope that he’s a better footballer – and a better person !
Foster’s save was terrific but he still didn’t impress with regard to the issues that have been identified – commanding the area,communicating with his defenders, and distributing the ball.
I also thought that Macheda did nought – squat. Does this kid have a case of “big league head” ?
