Stoke 0 – Manchester United 2
Scorers
Manchester United: Berbatov (62), O’Shea (77)

My busy schedules kept me off from this wonderful game.However,I somehow managed my self with a copy of this game and damn,it was worth it.
Well if you are one of those fans who has watched almost all players present that night from their first United game it could be a relish how you see  your favorite player perform that night.
For first hour, it looked tragic how United players were working the game against the team who looked vulnerable for lots of time and we were going to settle for another one goal victory.Well yea victory was sure but could it be more than one goal.For that we were responsible  on few players.
Nani on lots of occasions was going selfish and Valencia kept spoiling at very last second of his tackle.The mid field was the power house of them.There was some brilliance working in middle from Scholey,Carrick and Fletcher.That was some where holding the team in their boots.Rooney was the only guy attacking first half but wasn’t great converting on occasions.Our superiority wasn’t producing any goals until Ryan Giggs came into picture.

April 9, 2008 By Redhead

Many might be thinking that this leg is far from over.It wont even be exciting.But the twist to this tale has been made from the Boro’ match.We are going to see a far better match than Boro’ and by far will go into one of the most exciting matches of season. Roma are without their star Totti but there are more things to worry about us.They are making sure that they are utlizing every oppurutinity they can have and will try to shake things up.They know how easy it can be to penetrate United’s defense without Vidic and Ferdinand and we are sure that they won’t miss with this.

If we still to few plans we still can make it out easy [Read more…]

On A Roll, Even With Numerous Injuries

October 4, 2007 By Franky

Sour GrapesYesterday’s game against AS Roma, was an open game and we might once more not have been the crushing winners, everyone expects ManU to be, but who cares?
As I was speaking about last night’s game with friends at work and at the pub too, I became quickly pi$$ed off.

We’ve been lucky.

Those were the wise words of almost everyone who wanted to discuss yesterday’s game with me. I call bollocks on this one. We HAVE NOT been lucky, Roma have been lucky. Or maybe not. We just saw an open game with several chances at every side. And we saw many internationals on the pitch all performing on a high level, especially the defenders at both sides.

Community Shield 2007 ManU’s. Chelsea Better Get Used To Lose.

August 6, 2007 By Franky

VDS lifting the Community Shield TrophyThe Community Shield delivered exactly what every ManU fan expected: a win against Chelsea.
Sadly our trophy win wasn’t as exciting as we’d have loved it to be, but penalties decided the tie.

ManU dominated the first half, with fast football in the midfield and a well organized position game. The Chelsea midfield was almost invisible during all of the first 45 minutes and the Reds ruled. Chelsea hardly created any chance, actually they hardly created any good midfield combination. We covered the whole midfield and except two breakthrough chances Chelsea was rather invisible. During the first 30 minutes our best man definitely was Patrice Evra, and it was him in the 34rd minute who, after a quick 1-2 with Ronaldo, delivered the decisive assist on Giggs left foot. Giggs terminated without hesitating in the right upper corner. View Giggs’ goal here.

For the next 10 minutes ManU continued to control the midfield, but a brilliant pass of Ashley Cole launched Malouda who scored, after arguably having pulled down Rio Ferdinand. 1-1 Was the score when both teams left the pitch.

After the break Chelsea became more prominent in the game, but not because they controlled more, rather because the number of bad passes by ManU started to accumulate. Ronaldo’s chance in the early minutes of the second half, brilliantly saved by Chech, was not representative of our game at all.
Even after Mikael Silvestre was changed for Nani, ManU couldn’t really take advantage of the game.
ManU slightly kept control of the game, but mostly because of the weak performance of Chelsea.

The scoreboard locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes lead to penalties and this would become the moment of one of the most questioned players lately: Edwin Van Der Sar.
Edwin saved the first three Chelsea penalties, taken resp. by Pizarro, Lampard and Shaun Wright-Philips. Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick both converted perfectly, leaving the honours of scoring the decisive penalty to Wayne Rooney.


Chelsea V Manchester United Community shield 2007 penalties

Even though Jose could once more realize how little a club Chelsea is, today’s game learned us that there still is a long way to go and we still have to improve on almost every line. Defense, midfield and even the attack will have to work lots to integrate Carlos Tevez’s style in our game. Nothing is won yet, but it all looks great so far.
