★★★ SAFC vs Man Utd Match Thread ★★★

[Smartie]

What's happened to Larsson's free kicks? It was miles wide. He hasn't scored one in ages has he?

(A free kick) I do know he scored last week.

 

[Floyd]

He looks like a pub player man. I don't know if it's a lack of confidence or what but you can hear the roar of blood whooooshing round his heed every time he's faced with a decision of any kind.

U don't 'alf talk some feckin shite like

 

[Monty's Double]

But fletcher can score. Altidore cannot. End of

Let us know when he does again

 

[greedminds]

Let us know when he does again

How does fletchers shite make altidores shite. Good ?

 

[OohBaldyBally]

Good point. Get rid of Altidore. He's like a comedy routine to wake the kids up.

Are you talking about today or last season?

In his brief cameo today, he looked pretty sharp and did ok.

 

[TRobot]

Happy with a point, I just wish we showed more confidence in the second half, they were there for the taking today.

 

[Monty's Double]

How does fletchers shite make altidores shite. Good ?

Didn't day it did but we disagree on who is shiter and who is more likely to come good.

I'm rapidly losing patience with Fletcher

Aye

But at least he has done good

Jozy never will

Not in a month of Sundays

 

[jcrossan]

Ran out of energy in the second half. But still kept our shape and looked organised. cattemole is a superb player when he doesnt dive in…which he seems to have curbed (youch every piece of wood..)

 

[GipseT]

good job from the lot, they got tired but did what they could... Fletcher worries me a bit

I'm talking about his entire club career in the Premier League. I'm talking about a bloke who for some unknown reason has managed to convince certain folk that he can play football. I'm talking about Jozy Altidore.

Worries me too. However was impressed with Wickham. Looks as though last season wasnt a flash in the pan. Get him signed and finally do the Borini deal..that might have to do

 

[Monty's Double]

No he didn't. He wobbled around. The ball bounced off him. He's utter shit.

Even if I accept your analysis, I stand by my previous statement

 

[rivethead1970]

Fletcher has scored goals in the Premier League. Jozy hasn't.

 

[Monty's Double]

Fletcher has scored goals in the Premier League. Jozy hasn't.

Right. But we were discussing today's performance.

 

[steven]

Not seen anyone else comment on it, and there wasn't much reaction in the ground, but I thought there was an absolutely stonewall penalty in the last minute or so of injury time - the ball into the box where a free kick got given against O'Shea. Looked like Rooney (I think) had two arms right around him.

I think it was a good performance, but maybe not a great time to play Man United. They're f***ing dreadful, and I think we were a bit in the mindset of a point against them being a very good result (not that I'm particularly disappointed myself). Their defence and midfield is shockingly mediocre.

 

[SebastienELLISbexter]

Pretty gay them stars.

 

[cluffy]

Would have played Gomez behind the strikers instead of Buckley

thank god he didn't!

I think it was a good performance, but maybe not a great time to play Man United. They're f***ing dreadful.

,,surely a good time to play them then?

 

[steven]

thank god he didn't!


,,surely a good time to play them then?

Nah, they're going to be dreadful in a few weeks' time too. They're even worse than last season, if anything, and it's probably going to take a while for teams to see past playing Man United managed by Louis van Gaal and instead just see that they're playing a mostly rank average team with only a few very good players.

Nah. They've bought two more excellent players and presumably will buy at least one more defender. I'm happy that we missed Di Maria and the other bloke's debuts!
