    The lads were absolutely porous at the back tonight. They made a really poor Viking team look good. Stick a fork in Gary Neville: It's time for him to go finish getting his coaching badges. Rio looked even more nervous than Jonny E and Johnny O in the air. How many weak shots did Anderson and Nani take? Must be some sweet young things and bad ganj last night!

    I STILL MISS NOBBY & BOBBY!!!

    Wozz wrong, Duffman? You don't like the Irish or sumfink. He was definitely out of his element tonight. Off to Ipswich or Cardiff, Darron!

    Got complacent a bit, wonder if G.Neville will play for a while..Why O'Shea again though ?? Thought Fabio was fit...

    No i thought give Evra a run, as he is banned from Spurs and will have ample rest.

    Tevez was the best of the lot, if i am not wrong he should be some top scorer for United this season in all competitions.

    Rooney was good too. alright keep the attack duo like this, no Berba please!

    shah,fabio is still recovering from a shoulder op.i think he will be available in the new year

    but rooney and tevez were very good last night,missed a lot of chances but the partnership is still strong.very dissapointed with rooneys behaviour though,he was extremely lucky to not get sent off

    the lunge wasn't his fault, actually... the replay showed that he was pushed by the guy...

    Cue the Nani jokes...

    His timing is fucking awful. I'm sure the Gaffer will be up in his face for this one!

    Tevez was our best player???? Last night he was terrible and should have been subbed! Rooney, Anderson & scholes were thremendous! Nani put in a good few crosses felt he was better on the left though. As for ferdinand as i have always known vidic makes him look better than he is! Wasn't worth £30m at all.

    Azz, 50% of the time, Rio is immaculate and unbeatable. I'm not sure how you calculate and calibrate what a player is worth, but, like Carvalho, he makes his partners always look better, whether it's Vidic, Woodgate, Terry or Upson. Unfortunately, you can always tell when he's been indulging himself the night before, and it will show more and more as he ages.

    bobo u think rio is a better defender than nemanja? despite the fact that when vidic played alongside evans against stoke we don't concede! Stoke are better than Aalborg! Gibson is hopeless good flick after 3mins that were about it.

    Rio and Nemanja complement each other fantastically most of the time. I have many reservations about Rio, but most of them relate to his Peter Pan private lifestyle and how it hurts his football. There has never been an English center back with his kind of confidence on the ball ever. Name another!

    Tevez suked? cant be, the attack was good, but the defence had better days.

    i want Tevez to start against Spurs, no Berba, he might get booed and will not help him or the team.

    Anderson was dominating in that match too. he likes to help out the defence and at the same time suppport the front 2 whenever possible, is he really 20?

    I also believe Sheasy can plug the gap when Evra is out, he does push up like Evra but not too much where he will get caught out. anyway he lacks pace to venture out too much.

    They will go to Madrid, Atletico Madrid. they are tougher then what most people thought they would be. and love to see Forlan again! :mrgreen:

    Sheasy? WTF he sucks Fabio is much better. I'd rather wellbeck or macheda play than manucho. Manucho tends to go backwards when he gets the ball even though he is rapid.

    Fabio is still not 100% or he'd be out there.

    Manucho has played twice & done nothing why not play macheda? Also Manucho is 25 not got a chance with united really there are talks of offloading him to west brom

    manucho has played less than half an hour.and he has an assist to his name.decent enough contribution for that space of time.the west brom rumours are about a loan deal too,tony mowbray said he will be looking for loan deals in january.macheda is 17(i think).to start a game at a stage where it is crucial we get 3 points is very risky

    macheda is scoring for fun IN THE RESERVES.he will probably become a good player in time but to start him against spurs is too much.its too much for wellbeck too.he got 20 minutes against a lesser team that were 4-0 down.its those kind of situations that you need to start them younger guys off in

    who's kiko?

    nah Carrick needs and must be there at any cost. he has been one of the consistant performers for Utd. and with Scholes and Giggs in the middle, it is too offensive and old for Jenas and co.

    if possible Fletche has to be there too.
