BillyBong SG No shame in losing to a classy Real Madrid. I always believed that whoever won this match would most likely go on to win the European cup. Frankly, MU made way too many mistakes in their passing, did not create enuff and could not breach the Real rearguard when it mattered. It didn't help that Iker Casillas was having an inspired game. I think it's time Ferguson take a serious look at the eccentricities of Fabian Barthez. The first Ronaldo goal was clearly a goalkeeping error. He showed too much space for Ronaldo and didn't cover his near post well. This is not the first time he has made such a mistake. That goal was pivotal as it allowed Real to settle down. If MU are to triumph, Ferguson should pick solid and reliable keepers and defenders who perform consistently...not just those with the "world-class" tag printed on them. And certainly, MU need more invention in midfield. It was obvious that Scholes was sorely missed and that Veron was not even match-fit. It's also a time to change tactics. Almost every team who plays MU know that they also use giggs and beckham on the wings with Van the target man in the center. When beckham is tightly marked, the main supply of crosses is cut off. Similarly, Giggs is no longer the force he used to be and Keane shd stick his mouth up his own hole for claiming to be "back to his best"....he was always second best on the pitch and second best is for losers. Why ferguson is not looking at more creative players and strikers who can at least dribble is beyond me. After all, you can't win every game with the same tactics.... The Beckham free kick was a stunner though...
nagase SG its bcoz real madrid have the 2 goals advantage, else if they never stop attacking i think ManU can be thrashed once again. just see how many attack Real have made and they score almost everytime with the attacks. anyway why never mention about Real defense? they conceded 2 own goals and 1 tyco goal by RVN( forever tyco). i think the scoreline is good enough for ManU fans. Wow! they won Real Madrid!
szehao SG MAN UTD din dominate the match ... ok i admit i din watch everything but 4 the first 60mins(after Ronaldo's hatrick and 3rd goal i went to kun liaoz) Real actually held their own agst Utd ... i was laughing at united's play ... dey seem to be playing like they were the team wif the 2 goal lead ... and van Nistroys' and own goal was tyko ... u shld have watch Valencia vs Inter Milan ... den u understand the word "DOMINATE" ... Valencia was perpetually camped in Inter's half for more than 3 quaters of the game !!!
|-|05| SG Ya it is true real was rather relaxed doing just enough to win the quater.They mainly stroked the ball around and barely attacked unless they did not have the lead.They could easily have killed the game off with a 2 goal lead but they didnt i i wondered why….oh well.But the Italian teams would be raped i believe
Thongboy SG The performance last night at OT by Man U was class enough to beat any english teams and many other football giants in the top flight.
JLennon SG just that they all chow suay to be drawn against Real despite winning their 2nd phase group. its now the EPL or nothing.
JLennon SG RVN goal tyco meh? a long cross-field pass to giggs followed by his slide rule pass to solksjaer who then cut it back to the six-yard box and like all predatory strikers, RVN was there. wat so tyco about that?
szehao SG RVN happen to be there ... that is wat so tyco ... dun tell me he has great poisitional sense ... aniwae he has been damn tyco this season ... 12 from the spot this season and in the last 2 champion league ties ... 2 * tap ins ... so wat's the big deal of scoring 40 goals if almost a quat of it was from the spot ?
nagase SG lol. nahz.. i dont support any teams, just love to watch. but i used to be a Man Utd fan when Cantona was still in the team. too bad, ever since he retired, manU style of playing become less exciting. esp when they recuit players like sheringham n now, RVN. everytime score tyco goals or by beckham crosses. its really boring comparing to the past. now teams like Real Madrid, Valencia, Barca n Arsenal are definately playing better.
