manunited have started getting back up on their feet but i strongly believe there would be hard times for them, because of that match against arsenal

its going to take a long time to get their acts together, reading capitalised on the fact that since arsenal beat them and then they are vulnerable, consequently, they drew.

against benfica, the play was okay, but if it were a tougher team they would lose drastically, newcastle one begins to wonder why didn't field oba goal, and instead preferred the shola ameobi and nicky butt, shame,

but all the same its not going to be easy for you guys because almost everyteam if not everyteam packs a punch now,  its not as easy to predict premiership scores as before, who would eva believe that fulham would come from 2-0 down to pick a poing with the scores levelled at 3-3

well, adios amigos,

@lordimpaq

we've gotten our acts together and the matches against newcastle and benfica are a pointer to that fact. manutd is going all out this season for the title and i think it is very possible. with persistence and consistency, mantd can lift the ultimate price in English football this season.

and dear GOD i pray rooney gets his  form back,, quickly

Oga JK Cool

Let me kindly disagree with you somewhat.

A. The game against Benfica was close, and could have gone either way. Actually it had a draw written all over it, until a sublime piece of skill from Saha won you guys the game and the necessary 3 points you needed (but it wasn't actually a vintage United performance)

B. Glen R bottled the game at OT with his selected formation Tongue (guess you guys can't help how teams line up against you!?) Besides you were at home, and had to give a show, cause if you don't play well at home, Pray tell where else will you play well. Huh

United have a hard fixture run than the other Quartet members, (the next 6 to 7 games are tricky for you guys) besides you have already lost 1 game to a major rival, if you also lost either to the Pool or Chelski, then that will bring down your moral, believe me. You are on top going into the Inter break, fair enough, But like i said, the league table means SFA until Dec/Jan, when you can then seperate the real contenders from the fake pretenders.

Right now your main player is C Ronaldo, and Ole is a hidden joker for the team, but you guys miss the dynamism of Giggs, who i am sure when he gets back will give United a stronger edge. Once again i insist that something is wrong with Shrek, and i believe it has nothing really to do with footie. but i do feel football wise he is trying to adjust to a manner which he is not suited to, as he plays with a lot of passion, but generally feels he is unfairly treated and picked upon by Refs and Critics. So channeling his anger is one thing, but being forced to play calmly (as his critics want him to) is affecting him. (see the way the same thing is being done to Van Persie, which is killing his game, when he plays the way he knows how, he produces classics like the second goal against charlton Cool) But like i said, looking at his body language/appearance, i feel he has personal issues.

I wish him well as i like the gezzer, as he plays footie the way its meant to be played, with Passion. The way Maradona, Zizou, Gazza, Eto and a few others know how to.

This is going to be a very open league season, may the best team win (as long as that team is Arsenal.  Cheesy Hehehe!!)

Tougher fixtures lie ahead of every team in the Premiership as there are 31 games or so to still play.
Man United is a bit jaded right now because the attack line has been changed more than a baby's diapers in the last 7 Premiership games.
Saha has copped anutha injury yet again which suggests why Ole was selected on sunday.
I can't wait to have Giggsy back in the team as he allows Cristiano Ronaldo to dart left and right instead of roaming on the left side permanently.
JS Park should have deputised for Giggsy but he is injured as well there by paralysing one side of the United's limbs.

United should hold fort with the arrival of Gabriel Heinze and the injury of Silvestre(the best news i heard this season)
Heinze gives 110% on the pitch and he was the reason why we thrashed Benfica on their home soil.
United became the 1st English team to win on a Portugese soil and that credit should be given to Heinze, Van Der Sar and Ronaldo.
The most formidable defence line for United is Gary Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand and Heinze/Evra.
Midfield area is my area of concern as Carrick plays too soft for my liking. He has no grit like Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira or even Xabi Alonso.
Michael needs to start throwing the tackles in like Smithy or Makelele- break legs if u have to and stay fit.

United has the most potent attack in the Premiership for the last 12-18 months.
This is evident in the number of goals scored last season and the goals scored this season.
Saha must stay fit. if United really want to challenge for the title.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the best young talent in England and should Rooney find his feet-all hell will be let loose.
Manchester United should be okay and i know most teams will get beaten at OT this season.
Arsenal's defeat was a fluke because i am not convinced Arsenal will produce the same results with the same team and the same circumstances if they square up again. I can't wait for United to visit the glamorous Emirates Stadium next year.

Up United.

@Jackal

I understand where you're coming from, Carrick plays too soft and seems to put in just enough effort to see he doesn't tired. I don't believe Fabregas would have gone through our midfield if it was Makalele there, Carrick doesn't go in for the tackle, he just stands and covers which is very ineffective sometimes. He probably doesn't have enough stamina so I don't blame him.

Saha is injured again? Guys is more fragile than a piece of glass.

Nairaland "ONE UNITED CHAPS", Here is an article by Myles Palmer concerning what i have asked before.

"FOR WEEKS Rooney's form has been a matter of daily debate.

Banned from England, correctly, suspended by the FA, harshly, Rooney came back from his metatarasal and his bans and has struggled to find his match fitness, his touch, his game.

England play Macedonia in Manchester on Saturday and Steve McClaren has said he will start Rooney, even though he is not scoring and nowhere near his best form.

Why is the lad struggling?Is it just time? Does he need another four weeks? Does he still lack games?

Myself, I'm a bit worried. It looks as if the pressure is getting to him. And that is because the pressure is incessant. Since amazing the world with his high-powered artistry at Euro 2004, a lot has been expected from Rooney in every game. He is in the spotlight. He is in the crucible.The laser beams of expectation are shining on him and there is no escape. His fame is amplified by the communications technology that goes with twenty-first century celebrity, so Wayne Rooney's form is the sporting issue of the moment. Forget bungs and dim young Craig Allardyce, or Lord Stevens telling us to wait another eight weeks for his definitive bung report, Rooney's form is the big issue.

At Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo is flying, and maybe CR gets one-on-one advice from Sir Alex's assistant Carlos Queiroz.

But who is there for Wayne ? Sir Alex said when he signed him that Rooney doesn't need him to tell him how to play football.

And Sir Alex, nicknamed "Razor Elbows" when he played centre forward for Rangers, loves aggressive players. Scholes cannot tackle but he is still kicking people ten years later. Sir Alex loved Keane, he loved van Nistlerooy. He values the belligerence of Rooney, who intimidates opponents, as Keane did.

Rooney, a macho teenager, always seemed very self-contained, always denied needing help  He has always said : leave me alone to do my thing.

But, at the same time, he is a shy lad and maybe he fears opening up. Maybe he thinks that advice will clutter his mind and cause him to lose his edge.

Having said all that, Wayne Rooney is cooler than Gazza, less vulnerable, less self-destructive.As we saw recently when Wayne and Colleen and three other couples were having dinner in the Panacea restaurant.

Blackburn's Michael Gray, who was drunk, approached their table and suggested they share the girls around, taking two each. Rooney asked him to go away three times, as did the staff. But when Gray still insisted on being obnoxious Rooney, without getting out of his chair, clipped Gray on the chin and flattened him.

It was not a brawl caused by a rough scouser from Croxteth.And it did not involve a civilian. It was just a small incident in a restaurant. It was a shame that Michael Gray got pissed and behaved stupidly. But many British footballers do that.

Two weeks ago Sunderland manager Roy Keane was a Sky pundit at Old Trafford and said that Rooney still has "a hell of a lot to do. Wayne has achieved nothing. I would judge players over a few years rather than one or two."

Roy is right. At the moment Rooney's achievements are less impressive than his talents, and that's partly because he does not consistently use his talents to maximum effect.

Why is that ? Is Sir Alex the right manager for him ? Would Rooney benefit from a move ?

So Saturday could be interesting. If Venables is half as talented as Tony Adams says he is, the assistant coach must be able to help Wayne Rooney regain his form against Macedonia.

Clearly, if Rooney scores against Macedonia, and again in Croatia next week, the form issue goes away and the footballer comes back.The real Rooney could be back in business. And if Rooney plays better for England at Old Trafford than he does for Manchester United, it doesn't reflect well on Ferguson, does it ?"

Now Mr. Palmer might be a Gooner, but he his quite objective in his analysis, he tries not to be biased, (but unfortunately as human beings we all have our biases). Read this article and respond with your thoughts. Like i said, despite my alliegence to Arsenal and my hatred of United and all they stand for Tongue, i do admire the talent of Shrek, as he plays footie the way i feel it must be played, WITH REAL PASSION Smiley, (And i think Mr. Palmer being english, will want to see Rooney do well cause if Wazza does well, England does bloody well!! and you ONE UNITED chaps will do well in the league as well Sad)

Expect your views!! Cool

@loyika

that was really a long one and i got your message,  the issue is this. every player, including rooney, have periods when they just go off,  like u switching off a bulb. all they need to re-ignite is a flash or a surge of power from somewhere, and in rooney's case, a goal would do. if he scores against macedonia on saturday, it's all over for defences he'll meet after that, and i think he's going to hit back top form very very and once again, very soon.

ONE ROONEY, ONE UNITED.
