Week 28 - 12/13 - Premier League - Champions League L16 - Europa L16

[O Fenomeno]

Intentional or not

That's a red on mainland Europe

It's stopping a goal scoring opportunity

No ifs no buts

As LS said the rules are different.

Last night showed Sir Alex is not the best tactically

You lose a winger but wait until the score was 2-1 to make his first sub

 

 

The elephant in the room, people are talking as if the tie was over the moment Nani got sent off. The fact Ferguson literally did nothing tactically to address going down to ten men against a side like Real Madrid is barely being discussed.

 

And what about the decision not to start with Rooney, had any other manager made that decision and lost they'd be getting it from all angles.

Seen R9 Ronaldo saying he was disappointed with Fergies comments last night. Apparently Alex referred to him as the "Fat One"? didn't see that though missed the start.

UEFA have announced that they have opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United following Tuesday's contentious Champions League loss to Real Madrid.

United may be punished for non-fulfilment of post-match media obligations, Sir Alex Ferguson and his players having failed to give any interviews in the wake of their 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

Ferguson was reportedly furious about the dismissal of Nani, who was controversially red carded when United were 1-0 up.

Nani was sent off in the 56th minute, incorrectly in the opinion of many, for a high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa, and Madrid then scored twice in three minutes to secure a 3-2 aggregate win.

Ferguson did not appear for interviews after the match, and the players did not stop to talk to the media in the mixed zone, as is conventional.

The manager's assistant Mike Phelan did speak to the press and said: "It's a distraught dressing room and a distraught manager. That's why I'm sat here now."

Truss

Imagine if that was Rafa or Wenger or even Villas Boas who acted naive like that

Had no bearing on the game though

 

1st leg he was meh

 

In CL he is normally meh

 

It always becomes the Rooney show when he plays, he has a bad game/they stick a man on him

 

Whole team suffers

 

On top  it the fact that Welbeck and Giggs were outstanding, and Nani was stretching them and asking questions, no questions need to be asked

 

Was pleased with Young when he came on too tbh to the kid

[O Fenomeno]

He really should of referred to him as

"The Guy who scored a hat trick against us"

Or

"The Guy our fans gave a standing ovation"

Nah not

Sir Alex

What a salty individual

[Bobby Reds]

Wilf>

bit stiff tbh

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

If United fans were told anything last night it was how much this country doesn't give a shit about them.

 

Even in the barbers today no-one cares, let the fans suffer they said.

 

No one wants to support united.

 

On your own.

first bit of real you have come up with since 2010

[Flojo]

lol at the media thinking Rooney is whack, they cradle his nutsack on a regular.

 

As a manager you live and die by your decisions, am I wrong in thinking Ferguson chose to start Nani in a huge game having frozen him out for pretty much the whole season and dropped a player in Rooney who's scored half of his CL goals in the knockout stages?

 

People are so caught up in the sending off they aren't even asking the most obvious questions.

As LS said the rules are different.

So the issue you have is the referees on "mainland Europes" inability to adhere to the rules of the game. I'm just stating what it says in the rule book. I didn't write the thing just stating what it says, don't shoot the messenger.

Every newspaper article I've read has been Pro Utd.

[O Fenomeno]

RVP that's twice he has choked in CL

Last season against Milan@Emirates

Real@Bernabeu

Also add the Euros

But is labelled World Class due to his Premiership performances

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

The bloke who writes it is probably a United fan.

[Kompressor]

since united signed rvp

 

media been jumping off the rooney bandwagon 1 by 1

 

with sir alex dont trust him, he hasnt delivered as the main man for united etc....  all season long now

 

your thinking pundits, they swing on his nuts yes

 

and no was clear nani would start from the reding/qpr games 

I thought he might've started the first leg too, (proven by my comments before the 1st leg in the United thread) due to the styles make fights theory

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Pogba starting

[Gambino]

Don't know why any one is questioning the selections. Fergie got it right both times. Let's not forget how shit the Ref was in the first leg and the chances we missed. Had it right in last nights game too but obviously the game was changed by their 12th man.

[Kompressor]

Agree Fergie did the business in both legs tactically. There's an argument he could've reacted quicker after the sending off but there wasn't really many options available.
