cn174 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I've watched the highlights 3 times now, masochist that I am. Okay, it was BBC and SKY editing but I can't help noticing our complete lack of tackling. Lots of running around and attempted interceptions (being kind) but no tackles being made. Was this really the case throughout the match? Pretty much, they had the freedom of the park for the vast majority of the game. It was a bit like a training session really. I've just watched it again (must be stupid!) on Goals on Sunday, and some of their bits of play were cut out. There was one bit in the first half when Rooney and Berbatov did about 4 1-2s between each other, just danced around our defenders making us look daft. I know that stats aren't the be all of a game, but I've just looked on Chalkboard, and they completed 627 passes successfully and made 42 tackles, compared to our 296 and 22.

Ossydave Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Our midfield whether injured or not, is simply not good enough to compete with the big teams!! Which is all the more worrying when you look at United's week midfield they had out yesterday
USABlue Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Embarrassed and upset but give me a day or two and I'll be up and ready for Wolves on Saturday, Come on You Blues
Stuart Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Embarrassed and upset but give me a day or two and I'll be up and ready for Wolves on Saturday, Come on You Blues Easy for some to get over quickly get over it. I'm guessing you aren't going to have the #### taken out of you all day tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday,....
CrazyIvan Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Typical reactions and over-reactions from some. A shocking and dreadful result. Embarrassing and very hard to swallow but don't call for the managers head yet. Next month is key. We move on. (That result will still p'ss me off for literally years though...)
LeChuck Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Embarrassing and very hard to swallow but don't call for the managers head yet. Can't be arsed reading this thread as I know what it'll contain, but are people really calling for Sam to be sacked? Three wins out of five and people want him to go?
Gav Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Three wins out of five and people want him to go? People are sick off watching the same old @#/? week in week out, when we get hammered its natural reaction to call for the managers head. Three wins out of five is all well and good, but its poor, even when we win its poor. Ps, I wouldn't sack him just yet (As you don't fancy reading the thread)
Herbie6590 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Sunday Times gave Chimbonda a match rating of 1 and called him "spectacularly awful". Think they were being generous. ....he did put his shirt on the right way round.....might have been better leaving it over his head....
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 People are sick off watching the same old @#/? week in week out With respect Gav....you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear!! (I just hope Mrs Desai realises that too)
MeanGreenMachine Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 When has sa ever made a side that is easy on the eye? He was given the kings randsom at newcastle and they were dogger to watch.
chocky Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 When has sa ever made a side that is easy on the eye? He was given the kings randsom at newcastle and they were dogger to watch. This is what worries me. He was given a wadge to spend at Newcastle and wasted it. I have not found one Newcastle fan with a good word to say about Allardyce. Give him untill the end of the season then get rid. It would be pointless getting shot of him now as that may cause more harm to the team than good. But please don't give him any money to spend.
mjs Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 'you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear!!' Maybe not, but desire, guts, determination and not giving up before you step on the pitch don't cost a penny.
TAFKAP Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I didn't record Match of the Day, silly me. I don't suppose any of you lot recorded it and wouldn't mind uploading it onto the internet in full quality for me, please? Much thanks in advance, TAFKAP.

Not really sure why you would want to watch MOTD, you won't be finding nob end there. Although you could be on ITV for the first round of the FA Cup next season.

Gav Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 With respect Gav....you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear!! Take your point pal, but plenty of managers are currently working on limited resources, having some success and entertaining the fans.
Mattyblue Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 To be fair to DAFTCAP it must be tiring having to stay up till 1am just to catch 10 seconds of your game on that bizarre show that seems to be filmed in the BBC's basement.
TAFKAP Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 BEFORE COMING ON HERE TALKING SMACK,LOOK AT THE TABLE YOU HALF BRAINED DICKTURD. Right back at you baby
DavidMailsTightPerm Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Easy for some to get over quickly get over it. I'm guessing you aren't going to have the #### taken out of you all day tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday,.... A bit unfair - most of us work or know a United fan - there are just too many sheep around. All Rovers fans need to show some spirit next Saturday - irrespective of the horror show this weekend - beat Wolves and things will start to look a lot better. Time for us all to get behind the team - I know the DE will
philipl Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 So do you think Sam's answer to Mrs D's phone call was: "well you asked for spectacular football"?
roversmum Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 I rather feel she isn't a lady to mess with. Interested to see her reaction.
colin Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Remind me not to do next season's Manchester United preview. Work tomorrow should be fun.
