mikey the eagle 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Watched the second half. dominated possession but never looked like scoring apart from a couple of cut ins from the right by Duff. Nothing up front (Smith/Milner) and when they did make runs no supply from midfield. Hertha too big, too organised and too clever on the counter for us. We look shite. Will Oba Owen, Viduka and Faye improve it? No. We are in desperate trouble if we don't buy quality proven premiership right back, centre half, creative midfielder (probably x2) and a target man who can hold it up and stay fit for 30 games a season. God I'm depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 fuck me that was shockingwe need a lot more than 2 players before the season starts to be quite fucking honest Guthrie looks like he'll takeover from Butt, quietly got on with his role Geremi, Cacapa, Smith, Ameobi, should not be getting on... Ever Milner can't cross a ball to save his life.. Spiderman looked eager, tracking back etc, Enrique did alright when he got on, Charlie looked much happier when he moved off left back, duff made a couple of nice moves, taylor did ok But we lack creativity and someone to link up plays and split defenses in the middle, we need another striker to replace viduka who is old and too injury prone as well tbh man that was a depressing watch, i think even I coulda had a couple of flukey shots at goal compared to smith and ameobi... add all that to the fact setanta's commentry was like ch5's... stupid fckers were banging on about our french defender we still had on trial... seriously lads lift a fucking newspaper or something Agree we looked very very ordinary.

God I'm depressed. I wouldn't say we dominated posession as much as knocking it around in nothing areas without a clue as to what to do with it.

Fop 1 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 What's wrong with Enrique? Keegan seems to agree with Fat Sam that Zoggy should be playing there. Don't think so, Zoggy looked bad and indecisive there, Ricky was twice the player at LB when he came on. Ricky is only 22, I think we forget that and this second season we will see more from him I'm sure. The goal was a squawky, flappy missed clearance from Cacapa..Lazy old and crap. He didn't even bother to run back and cover when it looked like the bloke was going round the keeper. Milner: I counted 10 attempted crosses with 0 finding a black and white shirt...Duff came on and straight away looked more dangerous wiht whipped in balls. Duff made one good run which had a hint of the old times about. Gutherie faded badly in the second half. Shit Geremi, Butt, Milner, CACAPA, SHOLA. SMITH. Alright Zoggy, Duff, Gutherie, Taylor. Good Guti, Ricky. 's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 What we really lacked was some motivation (it was a pre-season game so i'm not suprised) and a bloody good set of strikers. Gutierrez looked very promising but there is only so much of the park he can cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Toon 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I thought Duff looked alright. He was a lot better than Milner, anyway. We really need to get rid of Ameobi and Smith and bring in a fourth striker, or just give Carroll more first-team chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguysarefunny 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 ''Pre Season'' Chill. yeah relax maaan ... no worries ... man.u away from home ... no problem ... get yourself some decent weed . pre season is for finding out about verifying your worst worries about playing the donkey and Mr. Smith up front. I mean they are only backup all the same ... Martins and Owen get injured and we're better off playing Given and Harper up front. Terry said Sholas pretty big and you could expect at least one chance in fiftty could bounce in off him at corners etc .. so were all set , no worries ... like ... bring it on.

NJS 4375 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nothings changed - we still have some half-decent but ultimately mediocre players along side irretrievable shite like Ameobi. Guttirez looked half decent but unless we sign two midfielders who can actually play football the season will be another write-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you expecting from Old Trafford? 1 Point? Wake the fuck up man. It's a given 3 points for them and humiliation for us. and It will be for many years to come.

Noelie 103 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 SameO-SameO, another match we should have won but didn't. Ameobe continues to be a waste of space. Why Zoggy and not Enrique at left back? Shades of Sam. Dismal is as dismal does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has seen enough now to know that n'Zog is not a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 At least he was switched on enough to cut off the shot from goal, probably assumed his vastly more experienced teamate was going to cover the pass. For all the grief he gets hes still the best CB at the club and has a good ten years on cacapa to learn from his mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Give over, he did exactly what he was meant to. He covered the danger closest to him, if hed stood still the other bloke would have rolled it into an empty net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at least I'm sure someone got a nice cum rag at the end of the match when he hoyed his shirt in the crowd at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 If Taylor always covers the danger closest to him why does he end up standing on the fucking goal line half of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Tbf its exactly what youre meant to do and its one of the first things you get taught as a coach or a player. Youre arguing for the sake of it. If he had stood still the bloke would have scored into an empty net. He was switched on and did his job, Cacapa was daydreaming. Youre just proving the fact that ppl on here will have a dig at him for any reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stand out attributes does Taylor have, this is serious btw, what attributes does he have to make you rate him as highly as you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre just proving the fact that ppl on here will have a dig at him for any reason. I'm not talking just about today, i'm talking about "Stevie T" in general. Half the games he plays he'll go walk about and end up on the goal line while the man he was usually supposed to be marking puts it in. He's painfully average and miles behind Faye as CB's go. Can't you see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
