[sidsutton]

wow

beat em with half a team AND David May. That must make Liverpoo feel good.

 

[Dans]

Amazing turnaround. Thank you Ruud and Ole. Special mention to Silvestre for some timely tackles in the end, and for once, a special mention to Barthez who made a couple of crucial saves.

 

[Tomo]

Maysie on

wait..the game finished after few seconds

Who knows what this means?

From FC Basel's forum:

"Au nach em 1-3 immer no Top-Support, absoluti Spitzeklass"

That United's supporters are top, absolute class?

Nice of them to say isn't it?

If you invade their forum armed with images you should do so with pictures of cans of Boddingtons, OT, Ruud and a ship canal.

 

[giggzy]

AMAZING!!

We played better in the first half!


Ruud what can i say...must be best striker in the world!


best players:

ruud - awesome

ole - one goal, one excellent assist.

silvestre - SAF vindicated for putting him to CB, if o'shea was there, Hakan would have scored..overall he had a very good game...

I would willingly give up Baros, Diouf and the undroppable one in return for Van Nis - he is easily in the top 5 strikers in the Prem and would be a great foil alongside Owen. Just a shame he plays for the Scum.

u r lucky to watch the game,,,,did Giggs play ? & what about veron ?,,,& how was wes ?

Agree with all that apart from O'Shea, you can't say he wouldn't have, and he's a great tackler himself. I thought we looked defensively rocky and the left wing was weaker offensively than it was against Newcastle. But enough of that, what a fecking player Ruud is!!!!!!!!!!

All his own work that second goal, and just awesome stuff. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

plan A: will get the train in on me Todd

plan B: if there's a noon relplay, i will ring Happy Jack at 9:15am and if we won i'll get my arse down there. if we lost, i'll roll over and go back to sleep.

fairweather and a half no? <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

Both giggs and Veron were pretty anonymous IMO.

yep o'shea is a good tackler.. altho he made weak challenges on set plays..and the reason why SAF put Silvestre there was due to the pace of their strikers.. i don't think JOS would have caught Hakan due to his lack of pace...

anyway, awesome result.

I proved that Murt's statistic was wrong and that there was only 1 defeat difference between the two formations. Livvie then pointed out that we won more games with 4-4-2 which makes sense since it scores more than 4-5-1 and hence more draws are turned into victories. But nothing will ever persuade you of what almost everyone else knows.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Murts statistic wernt a bit worng.
11 league losses, only 2 of them with a 451 start line up, Highbury & Pool @ home.
The 451 worked for us tonight aswell, we let in a goal after 31 seconds, nothing to do with the formation. Had we had a 442 line up we would have been in severe trouble. When we changed and pushed Olle up it unsettled their defence.

BTW Scholes and Fortune weren't sent off. It might worry the spectator, but they know what they're doing.

We were 1-0 down with 4-5-1 and 3-0 with 4-4-2. Those stats were 3 domestic defeats and 2 Euro defeats (though I don't think I got to the knockout stages). We were much poorer today with the 4-5-1 than against Newcastle, until we changed the formation. As usual.

We could have been poor with the 442 today as well, like in the Bolton, Leeds & City games.
Had we pstarted with 442 we would still havve been a goal down after 30 seconds.
We scored 3 goals within minutes of changing to 442 and it was the change that did it. had we started with 442 we could have run into a brick wall after that with no way to change the game.

Why for once ? He has often been good in Europe and even better than this evening.

Too right.

Fab's crucial saves vastly outnumber his errors.

 

[Livvie]

Seeing as it's not been mentioned anywhere else, it's down to me again then.

Ole's cross for the first goal was superb. Just like Saturday, it was him who got us off the mark.

 

[MancFanFromManc]

For anyone who wasnt keeping up with this thread live (ie Me), have a whizz thru from the beginning.

Its full of scouse crowing and panicy reds to start with <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> Half the team should have been shot or sold <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> then watch the mood change to a draw will do <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> right through to how we're the best team in the world. Classic thread

"For once" is referring to praise from me.

I can tell you that Michel Platini a "connaisseur" has praised him for that cross. He even said that the center was better than Ruud's header (he liked more his second goal).
