Decent save from Van Der Saar!

 

[CliffyBiro]

John O'Shea. I'll never understand how he plays for United.

What on earth is VDS wearing?! Looks like a confused zebra, awful looking kit.

All nike sponsered teams have similar GK kits. Arsenal have a pink version

 

[CliffyBiro]

Lol at Park's hair


Good effort though.

 

[Cosimo]

It's good to see some football at last.

 

[Robbo]

Some sublime passing from Scholes.

wanting to see Hernandez on for Owen and Smalling on for Evan

 

[Robbo]

1-0 Man Utd

Valencia!



Magnificent ball from Rooney.

 

[shipinabottle]

Rooney!

 

[FrankJH]

Roooney is back (with Valencia scoring) yessssss!!!!

 

[explicit4u]

1-0 Valencia

 

[CliffyBiro]

Heh I've been watching O'Shea and I swear he hasn't played a forward pass in the last half hour.

wanting to see Hernandez on for Owen and Smalling on for Evan

I reckon if/when Smalling comes on it wll be for Vidic rather than Evans (to protect Vidic more than anything)

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Cole went to sleep.

 

[Robbo]

Hernandez on for Owen at half time, yes please!

 

[CliffyBiro]

Cole went to sleep.

But he's the best leftback in the World.

yeah no doubt. just id rather see Smalling and Vidic as our starting CB's. i personally feel Ferdinand is over the hill and Evans, he's just looks nervy all the time, them nerves should have settled with all them games last season but they never seemed to.

without a doubt - and Berba for Rooney too I wouldnt be surprised

Evans was constantly in and out and with different partners - if/when he gets a good run of games with the same partner he is a lot better. No way will Evans be over looked for Smalling at the beginning of the season. Evans is an outstanding centre half for his age

think Man U looked pretty good there at times. Scholes looks on song with his passing and out of tune with his tackles, so no change there
