Carrick and Anderson together ? Lets hope I'm wrong but, they haven't played well together in the past. I think we are going to see Fletcherinho in the 2nd half. Come on United !!!

Fuck sake... anyone else watching the game on RTE?? Ronnie Whelan is commentating and not only is he an ex-dipper scumbag... he also said SAF took a risk on Owen and its not paying off.... what a fucking wanker....

erm owen is out, berbatov replaced so early in the game. owen looks fine, is it his groin?

by the way, i think we played interestingly. we missed a few chances, and i certainly miss Fletch's headers. :)

Wolfsburg, when they defend, ALL of their players are in their half. I think actually we are playing better, maybe we just arent lucky yet.

I like the way how we build up our attacks using Ando almost all the time, Ando will one-two with anybody and zooooppp.. Ando's thru..

Valencia's crosses also looks good. Just nobody can finish it good enough yet.

Nobody can guess what Rooney's gonna do when he has the ball..haha

Sam, we are on top at the moment! Owen had a groin strain, Ando is doing OK, a couple of good runs/balls, but gave away the ball at the beginning (everyone did so not so bad..) and Grafite made an early chance but was kept quiet until Vida gave him a (a la torres) rugby tackle on the half way line!!

can somebody tell Valencia he can also use his left peg. Berba is just awesome but sometimes he over does his showboating.

@sam the kenyan, we are doing fine. we just aren't hitting the top gear yet. Our fast small-plays are interesting to watch, the backheels and stuffs.

Grafite, he is definitely the dangerman. Very fast. Vidic is already booked for pulling him.

I can definitely see the weakness in Wolfsburg's plan.. they are not utilising Grafite and Edin Dzeko's speed to pressure our backline enough all the time. It's like they disappear when we are controlling the ball, but when they get the ball, suddenly they pop out. And they are relying on highballs to their strikers, which is i think a wrong tactic if you see Rio and Vidic together.

@Park likes dags, Agreed, I was worried at first that Ando and Carrick might not click together. Its never felt so good to be wrong. Carrick really needed this.

Fortunate deflection changed the course of the game. Its laughable how all of you laud Giggs for that. He actually had a poor game. Open your eyes

say what you want about Giggsy, Berbatov was far and away our best player tonight, maybe a stroke of luck Owen pulled off a bit early

@Pat - Giggs poor game? disagree with u. His aggression after we went down was our main weapon. HE simple drove the team on. A goal and an assist. What are you talking about. Open your eyes.

Pat - Just got in from game and I can assure you Giggsy was fucking superb. Ain't you a fucking Gooner? Piss off you cunt.




Chuffed for Carrick. Him and Ando had much better second halfs and Berba was excellent.



Valencia is starting to show what he is about.
