Steve 10,227 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just got back from the game. Had a great day out, shame about the result. But at the end of the day, we were lucky to get a point. Not going to take anything away from Stoke because they were outstanding all game. We had a couple of good spells of possession but made nothing happen. Don't really want to single players out but Malouda needs to pull his finger out of his ass and start working for the team. He is so frustrating and if he doesn't sort himself out he will be off at the end of the season. The defence looked lost all game long. Luiz fell asleep for there goal which was really disapointing because he has been such a rock at the back the last few games. As soon as United came back and won i had a bad feeling and nothing surprised me. When the lads were warming up you could see them watching the game on the screen and Drogba was shaking his head. Just knew from some of the reactions it was going to be a bad day at the office. Will try and upload some videos from my phone of us chanting. We put the Stoke fans to shame imo. Where was there famous atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack17 205 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What's the point to support ancelotti? Making same mistake again and again, put ferreira on the bench and leave mceachran out is nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making same mistake again and again, put ferreira on the bench and leave mceachran out is nonsenseYou expect too much. If Essien had a tough game physically what would McEachran do? He is a slender figure and still young. I agree that he should get some playing time but not now. It's crunchtime in the season and we HAVE to finish top4 not care about what one player wants. Ferreira - I hope it was a joke because we had Ivanovic on bench. This isn't about Ancelotti because we just don't take our chances and make silly mistakes.

coolhead23 1,147 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Disappointed that we drew the game specially after India won the World Cup , was really a dull moment when i came to know the results that we drew I believe what this does is that it puts all the assumptions/possibilities/theories/hopes to rest of we winning the league now and accept the fact United would win the league hands down. They have been playing like champions and with a Never Say Die Attitude which is something i really envy about them. I dont think i have seen any other team coming back from dead as much as United has and purely for that i would not mind handing them the trophy. I dont think they would let go this advantage in the league at least. Champions and 2nd position are still very very achievable and i wish we get those. Bad tactics, bad performance or whatever were the reason for yest draw, We need to pull our socks and get ready for a fierce battle in hand. I know United have been very lucky at times but now i believe We need to create our own luck, be determined, focused and u get the results. As the saying goes "Fortune favors the Brave"So United keep the trophy this season because next year we are coming to take it back ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 You really think McEachran would have done any more against a physical Stoke side? I find that highly unlikely. The lad is a talent, but Essien's physical presence was needed.If anyone was missed, it was Mikel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Obviously a disappointing result for us, and credit to Stoke as they played well, and looked as though they could havbe won the match. Cech once again proved again how lucky we are to have him, making some stunning saves I thought. Move on and KTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,964 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just watched MOTD and I knew it - Petr made two unbelievable saves within 30 seconds, twice finger-tipped powerful shots or headers into the bar. Fantastic moments. Our best player, not only in this game, in the whole season.I also noticed how Torres was frustrated after Drogba's shot into the bar. Drogba had it on his left and hit it really well but Torres was in a good position to hit it with his prefered right. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve5221 91 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 We were never gonna win the league so i was not surprised with the result. We still have the 5 point buffer over spurs so if we draw our remaining away games and win our home I will be happy. Top 4 is the priority this year now and champs league is a bonus...
