Anderson for Jones. Kagawa missed a penalty and then scores. Zaha is been there for 3 mins and already created 2 good chances.This kid is going to be a special player for United.The former Crystal Palace star picks up the ball on the right wing and drives at goal - it looks as though he's lost it, but one flick and he's away from two defenders, but can only drive his shot narrowly wide of the far post. Exhilarating play there. Zaha |
Kagawa watsed the chance of a life time after Welbeck fine play and effort hit the post. The rebound went to RVP who layed it for Kagawa to slot in, but the Japanese blew it over the bar in a missed cue/kick. 40 minutes. United mounting late pressure. Giggs and Kagawa having some skillful exchange, Young becoming a torment to Osaka on the right and Welbeck is doing fine. Welbeck is the man forward so far. Until now, we were dominated from 10 minutes. Bobby Chalton watching. looking worried. Half time. |
Osaka got their chance and they took it excellently. Smalling not having a bad game made a silly mistake at the back and Osaka hit us with a clever goal. |
RVP missed another clear chance after Kagawa's pass saw him through. The reason Messi and Ronaldo are ahead, clinical finishers. |
We are using the away kits. Young is operating from the right. Jones and Giggs playing in the middle but Giggs also finding his way to the left. Butner looking strong in right back. Three man attack- Welbeck, RVP and Kagawa RVP missed a one on one in the first minute. |
Starting XI - Lindegaard, Rafael, Ferdinand, Smalling, Buttner, Young, Jones, Giggs, Kagawa, Welbeck, Van Persie. Subs: De Gea, Amos, Evra, Anderson,Fabio, Cleverley, Zaha, Lingard, Keane, Januzaj. |
Tgirl4real: Is the teaching of "Rapture" scriptural?Mathew 24 said even the elect could be misled by the Antichrist and false prophets. That means Christians will be around during the tribulation. The separation of the good and the bad (one taken the other left) will happen after 'the tribulation of those days'. Rapture was introduced by the devil to mislead christians to follow the Antichrist when they will still be waiting endlessly for the rapture to happen. |
Teams with the most CL wins: 1. Manchester United - 102 2. Real Madrid - 102 3. Barcelona - 101 4. Bayern Munich - 84 5. AC Milan - 71 ......... I saw that stuff somewhere, is that the true stat? If true we should be having more of this trophy, although referees have 'punished' us three times in the last few years. Scholes goal disallowed against Porto, Raphael sent off against Bayern and Nani sent off against Madrid. With more quality players we can rule Europe. They should bring out this money and buy Fab and Bale or some other guys. |
I refused to blame Moyes or anyone until the transfer window is closed and we are unable to land a major signing. SAF landed RVP in August, but didn't mean there were no underground talks several weeks or months before. Perhaps Arsenal were hoping that RVP will change his mind once back to training from the Euro 2012 rest. Who knows if Fab had not held a secrete talk with United since but Barca wouldn't open the window or door. I remember SAF said they have been on two bodies since January as there will be major signings. Who are those two bodies? |
Purist: Thiago: "The truth is that in no moment did [Manchester] United come to us and talk to us. It came from the press, it was always a lie."Moyes already indicated this. When asked about Thiago before Bayern signed him, Moyes said he has never said Thiago was a target. I guess United knew where they were going from day one. I hope we land Fabregas, then we find who next to 'attack' in the transfer market. |
RuuDie: Super!Every player has a favourite position. For the fact that Carrick can play centre defence doesn't mean he will be happy playing there when people who play there are fit or the coach just refused to strengthen that area. Same goes to Valencia. If you play him regularly at right back when he feels he still has so much to offer from the number 7 position, he might revolt with time. |
Where is the Fabregas deal now? Can we take the silence to mean it is going on smoothly? |
RuuDie: When his mother gave birth to him, did he come out of the womb holding a sign-board with "Natural Winger" inscribed on it!?Football and Sports have developmental stages. One you have to start early, secondly you have to identify your unique abilities and shortcomings early enough and try working on them before 15 years of age. Most certainly, sports men can only build on the skills they acquired before attaining 16,17 and 18 years of age. In my local way, I started playing football when I was only 4, and I played every day, except for illness, till I my senior secondary school days where evening lessons reduced my training days. All the abilities I had and still have, I already were showcasing them in my primary school days even when I was the youngest in my team. I only built on them later when I past 18. You are never going to teach Anderson to shoot with his right foot as much as his left even when his left is not accurate. You are not going to teach Zabeleta to play top 9 now, you are not going to teach Carrick to be as rugged as Makalele. Rolnaldo cannot turn suddenly as Nani does, Valencia can do anything on the flank well but he will be useless at the middle of an attack, etc. Developmental stage has past. Zindane has qualities Scholes doesn't have while Scholes has some Zidane never had. If you get a young player who can play many wings and still give result, you are in for a big fortune. Rooney is one such a player. |
montelik: yet you have done it with kagawa.Have you ever seen where I mentioned Kagawa should be sold? But from what I can see now in the ongoing preseason, except he improves he will not enter the first team. He will be used like JS Park if at all. I mean a squad player. JS Park was a big game player, but so far Kagawa cannot be categorised. He has not been a force in UCL either. Just compare him to Hazard. He is good for revenue though. |
coogar: i have told y'all elampiro is an idea concocted by seun/mukina2 to piss man utd posters off. they always write these programs for the league winners. when chelsea won the league in 2010, 1025 was created.Exactly, elampiro was created to checkmate the great delusion going on here. Kudos Murkina. |
RuuDie: @ Elampiro.Which roles did Rooney play against Aston Villa and Madrid? Rooney sat back with Carrick against Villa. It wasn't the fist time. |
coded guy: @ elampiroThose other positions are forward roles under the formation deployed in matches. You have three attacking players (Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney)all at once, but with different responsibilities. They could even swap roles unlike now you have RVP always alone in the 9 or RVP and Chicha in two man attack when started together or RVP, Welbeck/Chicharito and Kagawa playing forward while Rooney is used to stop Di Maria and Ronaldo from tormenting Rafael and defence. coded guy: As coogar said, ordinary Van Persie we bought the baga wants out after claiming the club lacks ambition. Rooney is a dolt![b] A club that wanted to be ambitious will not loose/sell Ronaldo, Tevez and Hargreaves in one season and not replace them satisfactorily. The club left Rooney exposed as the great men surrounding him upfront were all sold at once. They brought Valencia whose only ability is to run the line and provide. At the rear, Brown and Neville were no longer solid but we had to depend on someone under formation. Ferdinand was getting old and sustaining injuries. What other clubs do is to get established young players. United like to train young un-established players. When we have been waiting for some players to reach their maturity, likes De Gea, Rafael, Cleverly, Chicharito, Welbeck, Kagawa, etc, not to talk of Obertan, Tosin, Bebe, Diouf, Manucho and co, our rivals went to get Ivanovic, Cahil, Hazard, Moses, Ramires, Luis, Oscar, Mata- Nasri, Aguero, Tevez, Lescot, Zabeleta, Djeko, Baloteli, Toure, Silva etc. We have not even mentioned what Barca and Bayern are doing. Song, Fabregas, etc. BARCA only allowed their developing players to leave. like Bojan and Thiago. But United will say in developing players shall we thrust. Rooney is not angry about RVP, he is so happy he is around. RVP is not up to Ronaldo who Rooney played along. Rooney had Ronaldo, Tevez and Barbatov around in 2008/9 season yet he won the EPL 3rd best behind Gerald and Giggs. But how can you deploy Rooney to a deep midfield role and play Welbeck, Chicharito and Kagawa upfront in a season players and fans eventually rated him among the six best? You marginalised your EPL most prolific player because you wanted to experiment. [/b] coded guy: And what do u mean Ronaldo won't score 40goals without Rooney if he played for UNITED in the period you stated. Why make childish assertions of something nobody can prove.Bring Ronaldo back to EPL, 40 goals will still a big achievement to pursue. I can bet that. Secondly United midfield of now is not as when Ronaldo was around. In Madrid he also has a midfield where Alonso, Khedeira, Ozil and Diara outrun opponents with ease. After Ronaldo scored 32 league goals (I guess am right about the number) in 2007/8 he could only score 18 in 2008/9. That's to tell you how difficult EPL is. Once opponents have discovered how dangerous you are you won't be allowed so much space- ask Valencia, Tevez, Aguero, Torres, etc. But he immediately he got to Madrid, his goals scoring went up all of a sudden. In United Ronaldo goals were scarce in matches he played without Rooney. But this is not my point. My point is that three great players left United leaving only Rooney upfront from such a strong blend upfront. If it were Ronaldo, it would still have affected him. |
coogar: george weah is african - how many sponsorship deals or franchise can he promote. where's the market in a war-torn liberia? rooney is english, he's been the 3rd highest paid player since 2010 and he's never been the 3rd best player in the world at anytime in his career. surely, rooney's wages and his football ability are humongously disproportionate.Pull Messi out of Barca to a less fortified team, then I can truly judge his ability. Ronaldo has proven himself in two clubs, but also more fortified teams. If Ronaldo were to play in the United of 2010 to date without Rooney he wouldn't be scoring 40 goals. Ronaldo and Messi are the greatest, but someone should also know that they are very much surrounded by great men, particularly Messi. |
coogar: don't mind debosky and his gutter-talks.....rooney is the 3rd highest paid player in the world behind messi and ronaldo. however, in terms of performance, you can fit 40 different players between messi/ronaldo and rooney.When George Weah won the best player he had load of world players earning higher than him. One season is never enough to summarize a player. |
RuuDie: So, what of Theo Walcott nah!? Shebi he prefers to play center-forward...why isn't he feeling confused, angry, disillusioned, mistreated, maltreated?Walcott is a natural winger. |
coogar: you talk a lot of rubbish - ronaldo plays as a left forward for real madrid in spite of his goalscoring prowess. higuain/benzema always play as the arrowhead....so yes, ronaldo tracks back to protect his fullback when defending. so what if rooney scored 34 goals when 10 of those goals are cheap penalties from 12 yards?Tired of Rooney's face. What about these faces? ![]() @debosky, Is it not obvious some people are hating for nothing. Make we just leave them jare.

Roberto Martinez : No offers for Baines or Fellaini from Man Utd. Reports throughout the summer have seen Manchester United linked with both Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini, but he confirmed that there's no bid from Man Utd for his players. [ Source: Vitalfootball Everton ] .......................................... David Moyes has admitted he will have to learn about the UEFA Champions League quickly and says he will ask Ryan Giggs for advice. David Moyes told to SkySports : ""I'm going to have to learn a lot quickly and that's where I'm looking to the likes of Ryan Giggs and a few players around me for the things which I need to be told about."

Yes, it's our away kit.

coded guy: Debosky shut u jor, wetin u know, go and advise AW on who to buy this season. Its because there are no more talented players in that ur yeye club that's why there is no interest in anybody from other clubs. Except you feel Gervinho was your best player last season. LolRooney, Ronaldo and Tevez. Tevez was our striker in 2007/8. Ronaldo also shuttled the middle a lot that year. According to Gary Neville's comment, before United hosted Madrid in March this year, Ronaldo picks the easiest opponent to attack in a match. SAF would say ''Ronaldo play from the right'' but before 20 minutes he switches position when he discovers somewhere weaker in the attacking line. ............................... Teams of the Decade #3: Manchester United 2006-09 March 20, 2010 Unlike most sides on this list, Manchester United have not used a specific formation in their amazingly successful last three seasons. Sir Alex Ferguson has used a variety of formations – 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-1-1 – and probably a few others. Manchester United's 4-5-1 away at Roma in the quarter-final, which resulted in a 0-2 victory for United With so many different formations, a rigurous squad rotation system and key players bought and sold during this time, it would be difficult to sum up the side simply by giving a diagram of eleven players, and saying “They played this way for three seasons”. The side they won the Champions League with in 2007/08 seems the best XI to describe in detail, however. Always featuring a back four with two relatively deep central midfield players, Ferguson generally used an additional midfield player, with a fluid front three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. The reasons Ferguson could afford such a loose shape in the final third were that (a) Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez were all highly versatile, happy to play either on the wing or through the middle, (b) The three had a wonderful understanding in and around the penalty area, meaning Ferguson could effectively hand out three ‘free roles’ and sit back and witness the results and, crucially (c) All three understood their defensive responsibilities. Of course, the key feature of the side was, in a move often described as being influenced by Luciano Spalletti’s Roma side, United featured no permanent frontman. Ronaldo was primarily a winger, who developed his game both technically and physically to become both a goal threat from the wing, as well as a powerful presence upfront when needed – whilst Rooney and Tevez were small, creative forwards who liked dropping deep and were both extremely hard-working. The fluid front three were not always all used, however. In away European games that season, one of them (Tevez) would sometimes be sacrificed for a hard-working midfield player, such as Park Ji-Sung. United’s win that season away at Roma will go down as one of the great away performances in Europe by an English club. Rooney played wide on the left in a fairly flattish midfield five, whilst Ronaldo was given the lone striker role. Whereas Francesco Totti invented the ‘false nine’ role by dropping deep into central midfield areas, Ronaldo played it by both dropping deep and drifting into the wide areas, creating a dilemma for the now-redundant Roma centre-backs. When he dropped deep, one of Park or Rooney would become the highest player up the pitch. United won 0-2, with the first goal a brilliant, towering, ‘classic centre-forward’ header from Ronaldo. Manchester United's 4-4-2ish shape in the Champions League final, where they defeated Chelsea on penalties But the versatility of the front three meant Ferguson could easily change his system against different opponents. Whereas Ronaldo played upfront against Roma with Rooney on the left, against Chelsea in the final the positions were reversed, with Ronaldo deployed on the left to terrorize Michael Essien, out-of-position at right-back. Indeed, it was Ronaldo’s aerial dominance over Essien that resulted in United’s goal. Their ability to change individual player roles without compromising the overall shape or understanding of the team is largely what has made them such a success.

Let's assume the Nani story is true. 1. Does he feel Zaha is an added threat? The other time his agent said Nani's stay depends on which players United were going to bring? 2. Or, the club now feels he can go if he so wants to as there are enough alternatives now? 3. Or both 1 and 2. It will be a wrong move for the club to allow him go when he has not been tried again. He had a bad season the last time, but Nani at his best is a match winner. Those difficult nights where some needs to open a tight defence just to get a late goal. On his part, Nani has never done well when he is given competition. All the time he ruled where when Valencia was injured. We have seen the best of Fabio, Anderson and Young and I think their best is not strong enough unlike Nani whose best is capable of beating the best teams in the world. The club should release the right players. |
mbulela: My brother, this na end times transfer market. This transfer market na serious Eschatology sign. ![]() |
RVP, Carrick, Welneck and Raphael all carrying minor injuries. |
Ogbeche77: Just reading that Nani to Monaco almost a done deal.. I hope this isn't trueI saw it too. I don't know what to believe these days. I read he was given permission for a talk with Monaco. Has Bale to Madrid been confirmed? |
SailorXY: I have always been saying I still don't know why we signed Ashley Young.. Some people say he tracks back well and all that uninteresting stuff. Mehn, we should put him on the transfer list. If no one comes in for him, then Moyes should release him naah...it is better his wages is channeled to proper use. I am baffled how so many 'fans', especially in England clamor for the sale of Nani when a waste is comfortably smoking weed, over speeding & getting injured then cash £130k weekly from club coffers. If £40m will get Fabregas, then so be it. If £60m will get Bale, the money should be fcvkin payed. If £25m will get Modric, £23m will get Fellaini, then Glory be to God. £150m is nothing to an organisation with followers in excess of 150 million people. Moyes can see what he can get for Rooney, Young, etc & retire Giggs permanently. What's all these mediocrity for? We should maintain our standard for Chrisstsake! Place the caliber of players in Man City, Bayern, Madrid with those @ Man Utd...damn!They should sell Rooney and leave Kagawa abi? Yet you talk of mediocrity. The missing point yesterday was a player like Rooney. If we don't bring Fabrigas and we sell Rooney, we will end up in the Totteham zone. I have some doubt whether Fabrigas can even do it. Is it not obvious our games lack maturity without Rooney? The real mediocrity shows 80% when we play strong opposition without Rooney, even in many normal games. We need someone who can retain the ball with so much balance in the attacking zone while our strikers run into space. If players are to be sold. So far, I am looking at Fabio, Anderson and Young. We still have some preseason matches to observe. I see a situation where Moyes will run out of patience with some players latest by January. |

mascot87: JOhn 20:23 says (after d resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and d disciple s of Christ were in d upper room, 21 says then said Jesus to them i.e the disciples,peace be unto you:as my father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 and when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, recieve ye the holy spirit 23:whose soever sins ye remit,they are remitted unto them;and whose soever sins ye retain,they are retained.) The priests,bishop and pope are d representatives of Christ disciples on earth and this obligations has been assigned to them to continue the laid down instruction of Christ.The church picks the act of confession from john 20:23 since Christ himself gave them the authority. The mysterious part of it is the the priests, bishops or pope cannot forgive themselves of there sins, they have to go to other priests for confession.Remember that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is passed on from generation to generation and no ONE nor the power from the pit of hell can stop it.You hit it well: John 20 .... ''Whatever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them in heaven, whatever sins you retain are retained in heaven. The petencostals don't have complete knowledge of the bible. Their pastors preach only selected section of the bible only for financial benefit. |
coded guy: 85 pounds for Bale!!! LololololMistake o, I wanted to write 85 pence. I guess u understand sha. |
