Utter rubbish so far, Welbeck and Obertan have been just plain crap, Welbeck is a striker, someone needs to tell Fergie this. Obertan has done some nice tricks but has no final product whatsoever, he just runs down the right...then gives the ball to them. Neville has been useless as well, given the ball away at least 4 times and looks fragile everytime the ball comes near him, whether in the air or on the ground. Got to wonder why Fergie chose to start 3 defenders that have been out for so long.

Exactly my thoughts but I'd move Obertan to his natural position. I seriously struggle to see why Ferguson loves doing this.

Great goal though, ridiculously good pass and finish.

I reckon PIG should have stayed on his line instead of rushing out. That said, it was a lovely finish and I can have no complaints about it.

Good account from your lot upto now Andy. Although I got to say I think we have been ******* awful to put it politely. Once again the lack of a decent midfielder is showing us up against a well drilled and well organised midfield 4

Yeah if you guys has been playing with any ounce of quality we certainly wouldn't be winning. I would have been happy to score at OT so to go in at 1-0 is a dream :)

Ok Fergie enough with this ****. Stick Obertan, the left footed winger on the left. Take Wellbeck the forward off the pitch, he's not a left winger. Put on Carrick and Giggs and possibly take off the biggest liability on the pitch Gary Neville.

I've given up bothering to swear at the TV at this one, its as if he doesnt care any more.

wheres Nani? even he would be better than wellbeck.

is Obertan left footed? i thought he was right footed.

Nani is "injured" I'm not entirely sure if that's true or not, it's possible Fergie has just decided he doesn't want to play wingers any more on the wing. He still refuses to try Tosic, instead going with the incompetent on the wing Welbeck. Perhaps he'll try Neville there in the second half


As for Obertan, i thought he was right footed too, pretty sure right wing is his stronger position.

exactly.

this year even though were only 2 points off the top has been horrid for Man Utd as a fan watching football, i think we look absolutely terrible apart from rooney. the team is shocking in defense, midfield and attack. berbatov just constantly stalls attacks, takes the forward motion out with his back to the goal, and jesus can he actually jump for a ball? he just jumps backwards into players to try n put them off, basic football foul yet he does it over and over again.

god help us if rooney gets injured *touches 10 kinds of wood*

i think we need another rejig.

I know he can use his right but I thought he was primarily a left sided attacking player? If he isn't, it makes me wonder why he started on the left for us. Then again with Valencia on the right, nobody is taking that position from him.
 
Time to take Gibson and Wellbeck off. Giggs and Carrick please.

Is Valencia on the bench? I saw him sitting there but he wasn't named on the BBC as an official sub.
 
Question answered.

Giggs and Valencia coming on. :D

I'd assume Wellbeck and Gibson coming off.

I'm looking forward to the 70th minute onwards as Leeds will start to really tire. :D
