I'm amazed Blackburn haven't been tighter on Valencia, stick a man within a metre or two of him all night and that's our entire strategy neutralised.

Why close him down when you can just mark our incredibly static forwards under the high ball? We'd actually be better inviting Blackburn onto us a little bit if we want to play like this.

Is it me or does Valencia seem reluctant to take his man on? Several times he's decided to try and cross it straight away. For god sake, take him on son!

all you need to do is watch for the run outside onto his right and valencia has no option but to pass it back.

utajoker · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:11

all were doing is trying to cross it in to 1 man in the box, hernandez, against 4 huge blackburn defenders.

timebomb26 · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:12

A shot! Yay!

Shamikebab · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:12

Berbatov not even on the bench, that's one option ruled out.

Both Man United and Man City dont deserve to win the league

utajoker · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:12

that elbow looked quite intentional in that replay.

You can't really say that because nobody else does either, so you'd have to consider them the best of a bad bunch.

Oh Scott Dann, how I miss you at Birmingham.

Rooney's?

Shamikebab · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:16

Great strike by Rafael. Sad when only our right back is willing to shoot.

cm1179 · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:16

hernandez made a mess of that. berbatov would've hammered it home.

Shamikebab · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:17

Hernandez has been really poor tonight, his link up play has been wayward.

Hernandez has looked off the pace this evening.

The fact we aren't playing Berbatov in games like this is just ridiculous. We need some composure and quality.

Carrick nearly giving all United fans a heart attack.

Shamikebab · 2 Apr 2012 at 21:18

Carrick almost gives Blackburn the lead, sloppy doesn't quite cover it.
