This is just dismal, we're barely creating anything, why oh why did we sign nobody?

Shamikebab · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:31

Campbell just looks rubbish, he's quick but doesn't seem to have anything else. I'd love for him to turn into a quality player but we can't afford to drop points while we wait for it to happen.

Gutierrez diving, he didn't wait long did he.

Just looks like a United side without Ronaldo, really.

DB_SamX · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:35

What a terrible diver, that Newcastle player - Gutierrez.

Cob · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:36

Rooney having to take corners

Lord-Jaffa · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:38

Massive mistake from united not buying anyone this summer, what an awful performance.

Shamikebab · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:39

Oh no apparently Campbell can foul :rolleyes:

Cob · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:41

Campbell off for Rafeal.

Shamikebab · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:41

Rafael on for Campbell. So we're taking a striker off...and bringing on a defender/winger?

We're not even attacking any more, we're just giving it straight back to them.

DB_SamX · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:43

I feel a bit ashamed to watch this game as a Utd fan - just not good enough, no attack, just not able to go for it.

What are you on about? Newcastle are doing quite well + The mancs are missing quite a few players. You have the same squad that won you the double last season.

Edit: Unless you on about the barcodes, in which case ignore me!

DB_SamX · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:45

Yeah, Newcastle are defo doing well.

Slogan · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:45

Quality tackle from Milner.

We have the squad that only just one the double, couple that with a lot of players out and not getting any reinforcements. Plus the older players like Scholes and Giggs are only getting worse. All the other sides have reinforced over the summer, yet we haven't.

Don't know why people are being so critical of the performance. No it's not been great, but just have a think about who we have missing, it's hardly surprising we're below par.

Robert · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:51

Bleh pretty much sums up my feelings.

Shamikebab · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:52

Because it doesn't matter who we have missing, in the end its still points dropped. We can't turn around at the end of the season an say 'oh we had injuries' we've had a whole summer to reinforce and we just haven't.

Slogan · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:53

Went down like a sack of potatoes. Was a foul though.

Fubsy · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:56

Well tbh I'm happier with that than the 0-0 draw with Reading last season when we had pretty much a full strength team out then.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 Aug 2008 at 17:56

1-1 FT

Cracking result for Newcastle and a great all round performance. United looked weak upfront.
