radlord 24 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Andersen is only young, Carrick is a great player and Ferdinand was half fit (if overrated anyway) Yes they were shite but if winning the league comfortably and getting to the final of the Cl is 'the end' then I feel sorry for their next manager.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Andersons good but hes got the liability factor about him as-well Barca just had too much for Utd in midfield..How can anyone possibly deal with Xavi and Iniesta Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,723 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 When you start talkin these gemes you know his teas oot : Ferguson slams defensive display 8:23pm Thu 28 May 09 Sir Alex Ferguson tore into his defenders after Manchester United had thrown away the chance of making history at the Stadio Olimpico. Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi scored the goals which gave Barcelona a 2-0 victory, denying United the honour of becoming the first club to retain the Champions League. And while Ferguson did not name the culprits he clearly had Nemanja Vidic in mind when he described United's defending for Eto'o's first goal as "shoddy." "In our best performances this season we have defended very well, but the defending was shoddy," said Ferguson. "The first goal didn't help. It gave them the opportunity to keep possession. We didn't plan to lose a goal early and we didn't deal with it well enough. That was the story. To lose a goal like that was a bad goal. It was a disappointing performance and some individuals will feel it themselves." United were hoping to become the first club successfully to defend the trophy in its current format. But while Ferguson threw on Carlos Tevez for Anderson and Dimitar Berbatov for Park Ji-Sung in a bid to turn around the match in the second-half the United boss was outfoxed tactically by Josep Guardiola. The Barcelona coach withdrew Messi from his wide berth up front to reinforce midfield and it gave the Spaniards dominance. It could have been more embarrassing for United as Xavi Hernandez struck a post and Thierry Henry and Carles Puyol brought fine saves from Edwin Van der Sar in a pulsating second half. Ferguson said: "The disappointment was the use of the ball when we got possession. You have to wait minutes to get it back off them. Could be it was an off night. Could be it was a mountain too big to climb. "We knew what a good football team they were. We had difficulty in defending against them. Messi dropped into midfield and they kept possession and made it difficult for us." http://www.theherald.co.uk/national_sport/...ive_display.php?

NOLUWDC 1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I like Anderson and Carrick but they didn't turn up. Giggs isn't good enough anymore and Tevez is a better option than Park IMO although I still rate him. O'Shea is awful and Ferdinand wasn't fully fit.

Orangeclement 582 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 iniesta passing stats were something along the lines of 95% completed as was xavi's, then you have carrick at 74% and giggs only made 24 complete passes all game. even messi was sitting at 93% i believe. p.s the Ronaldo saga is going to continue this summer and you WILL see him leave.

kingbarry 2 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 carrick is the most over rated player Ive seen in a man u jersey. Man u missed Fletcher something awful in the final. Too many young players in the team that night, they were all nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 People who write off Ferguson are absolute idiots. He will get rid of 3 or 4 in the summer and bring in better quality. It's a bad day though when pundits everywhere said Man Utd miss Darren Fletcher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol 401 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I like Anderson and Carrick but they didn't turn up. Giggs isn't good enough anymore and Tevez is a better option than Park IMO although I still rate him. O'Shea is awful and Ferdinand wasn't fully fit. Giggs was good enough to win PFA player of the year in arguably the best league in the world this year so I think that's a bit of a rash statement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
