[Archived] Manchester United Vs Rovers

[ABBEY]

Pleased with the effort put in but ffs we haven't created ONE chance. Our only game plan was to get a 0-0 and when that goes tits up we're screwed.

IMY SAID ITS GOOD

[beerwins]

I think this is our best back four and would like to see us stick with it, just sort our midfield and get forward a bit more and we may get a result at some stage.

[imy9]

No I didnt, I said stop whining- you moan when we get hammered, you moan when its 1-0 against the champions.

Let me know when your 10-0 prediction works out

Ah well 2-0 and its over.

[Exiled_Rover]

Should have just given Utd the three points, written it down as a 3-0 loss and taken the week off. Absolute ######.

[Heinz]

Nelsen have you forgot how to defend (8)

Rooney just showed what we miss seriously: Quality.

Nah, Jacobsen at right back, Chimbonda at left back, Samba and Givet at centre back is our best back four.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Poor Midfield= You put too much pressure on your defence.

Poor Midfield= You don't create enough goal scoring chances.

The midfield is by far the root of all our problems, a problem that's been there for 3 seasons.

I MOAN WHEN IT IS CRAP...A DEFEAT IS A DEFEAT AND ITS CRAP....10 LOSSES IN A ROW IS REASON TO MOAN....IF YOU THINK ITS GOOD ENOUGH THE YOU MUST BE A FOOL

[Bobby G]

Not a single chance created all night long.

Disappointing. We used to trouble the bigger sides.

Just when I say that Kalinic is wrongly judged offside and his goal doesnt count!

I want to see him and Di Santo up front against Pompey. Sick and tired of the one up front.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Kalinic scores but offside.

McCarthy and Kalinic look quality to be honest.

[Plastic Head]

Just scored a perfectly good goal with 2 up having a go.

Did you see that you fat mess.

It would be if we'd lost 10 in a row...

[ABBEY]

It would be if we'd lost 10 in a row...

DOH!!!! WE HAVE

[Pinch]

Kalinic scores but offside.

McCarthy and Kalinic look quality to be honest.

Never was offside...brutal call.

Yeah, wonder of wonders...we look like scoring when we play with two strikers!

[RibbleValleyRover]

It would be if we'd lost 10 in a row...

Haven't won for 10 away games iirc.

[CrazyIvan]

DOH!!!! WE HAVE

I seem to recall a few wins against Villa, Burnley, P'boro etc lol... I think you mean AWAY games...

[beerwins]

So quick to put his flag up, i cant believe that decision, not that we deserve it, should have put 2 up front earlier maybe we could have got something out of the game.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Hughes employed similar tactics against Man Utd/Arsenal/Chelsea, so i dont blame Allardyce for doing the same. Im not going to criticise him too much because i dont think it would have really mattered how we had played today. They were far better all over the pitch. We were toothless but defended reasonably well. Not good by any means and still dissappointing.

Its not worth getting too bothered about these games. The next 4/5 are far far more important. If we're this poor - or made to look this poor, in our next few matches, then i'll be slagging off the manager as much as everybody else.

[Mr. E]

Disgraceful lack of passion and effort. Why are these so called "players" collecting wages again?

[mode_m]

Would have been nice to see Kalinic get the goal there.

[andyroversmad]

4-4-2 please Sam.

[Iceman]

(Please don't use that word again) off Sam. how much longer can we go on playing 1 up front. our players cant even hold onto the ball, and cant pass to a player a few feet away. Andrews can go back to where he came from.

With Hughes we at least looked like we cared, we had a few shots, we tried to look like something other than the premiership's whipping-boys.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Eh? Most people seemed to be agreeing Andrews wasn't one of the worst lot. Nelsen and Dunn were crap today.

Only real positives were Kalinic and McCarthy. We need to play them together, and soon.

[Exiled in Toronto]

That's our best back 4 by a mile, so stick with that. Chimp MoM by a mile. Dunn useless.

Our midfield is hopeless; Andrews going off made no difference because N'Zonzi, MGP, Dioff and Bert can't hack it either at this level. Sam decided to spend our transfer budget on a striker who never starts and our wages budget on a hasbeen fullback who's probably 4th choice at the mo. Meanwhile, each week our midfield creates nothing and leaves the back 4 exposed.
