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.

Injury Worries For UCL Game Against Roma

October 2, 2007 By Franky

ManUtd - Roma Score BoardOn Tuesday, Roma comes to OT again and we’ll have another chance to get in our rhythm, hopefully scoring more goals this time. Last season we’ve beaten Roma 7-1 in the replay of the UCL quarter finals, but chances that we’ll repeat this royal beating are rather slim. Not because we don’t have the talent to so, but more because those monster scores are rather exceptional and repeating that performance would be a unique performance.

After VDS’s toe injury, SAF faces other defensive problems, with both Vidic and Brown having missed today’s training session. Both defenders received a knock and Fergie mentioned Pique would be the obvious replacement for Vidic or Brown.
Last weekend, our Boss hinted at youngsters being allowed to leave OT and pick up match rhythm. The poor performance of our talented junior squad against Coventry resulted in Ferguson stating that Pique and Danny Simpson could be useful for the first squad. What does this mean for Dong, Evans, Eagles (who played several times already this season) and Lee Martin?

Live Report: Sporting Lisbon 0 – 1 ManU, UCL

Sporting Lisbon - ManU Header

FT. 0-1 for Manu. Ronaldo scored and we take 3 points with us to OT. Good notes for today: VDS, MVP (2 brilliant saves) and Rooney played 71 minutes, getting more and more in the game as the match went on. And maybe most important of all, next to the 3 points, was that we didn’t really have to burn energy and with Ronaldo’s first ManU goal of the season, the confidence now certainly will grow and everything looks like Jose might have preferred not to travel to OT on Sunday. I bet tomorrow the’ll start whining already about all the injuries, low quality of the other players aso.
Wait, that’s what he has been doing last 3 weeks already.

I’m out here, see ya tomorrow… and Sunday, LIVE REPORTING again!
