The old Man Utd Thread

[Blooming Marvellous]

is anyone going to be watching this on a stream? I got rid of sky over the summer and need to readjust. I can't go straight to the radio, I just can't cope with Alan Green yet.

[Simmy]

Not sure what to make of that starting line up.

Is this Ferguson being annoyed at the last few minutes of the Everton match? Or does he think it'll be an easier game?

It's Rangers, for god sake. Could play his 5th team and he'd probably still win.

[Rockboy]

Looks like a pretty damn good team to me, don't know what the fuss is all about (on 5Live).

Edit: the thing it's missing is someone creative in midfield eg Scholes or Giggs. Be interesting to see if Rooney drops off a bit and tries to play a bit more as a creative attacking midfielder.

Hernandez is looking good I think, he's got quite a leap on him.

Park isn't really working on the wing for me, he's much better in that position against opposition that actually try to play.

[fatbob]

Naismith has spend most of this half on the ground.

[Majora]

The problem is that Park, Fletcher, Gibson and Valencia = no creativity in midfield.

[phresh]

To be fair it doesn't make a massive amount of difference when Rangers will have 9 men behind the ball as soon as we get it. Would like to see Anderson come on for Park though.

[fatbob]

Yup, without a combination of Giggs/Scholes/Nani somewhere in there we look pretty toothless.

[exwhyzed]

fuck

[BigShimmeryWall]

Damn, looks like it might be a bad one for Valencia...

[phresh]

Shit Broken ankle/shin

[fatbob]

Shit

[Chooch]

Glad they haven't shown it again. It's not often you get any emotion from Valencia.

[CactuarBill]

Didnt see what happened. Poor Valencia, this was going to be his season.

[Liamness]

Thanks for that Dizogg.

I know it's a cliché, but the players will want to win it for Valencia now. Rangers are doing nothing on the ball, but they're defending well and any team visiting OT will take that. We've got to stay clam and go for possession with purpose, as with the numbers staying back hitting them on the break is simply not an option, even if we still had Valencia on the pitch.

[exwhyzed]

dizogg bringing the class.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Sympathies to all, sounds an absolutely horrible injury. Wincing just thinking about it.

[Poppalarge]

They aren't showing the replay so it must be bad for Valencia.

Rangers have defended in numbers well, they've choked the life from the game

[Simmy]

No idea what happened, to be honest.

EDIT: Has his knee popped out or something?

[Liamness]

Sometimes I think the way they crowd a player after a serious injury isn't just for medical support, it's also privacy. It wouldn't be right if all those cameras were pointing at someone in anguish as they are being treated.

Rangers look like they're going for it a bit more now. Perhaps a blessing in disguise. I don't get the point of bringing Owen on... but anyway.

EDIT: Has his knee popped out or something?

Left foot is loose when he lifts it there. Looks higher than the ankle, hard to tell.

[Liamness]

We're not getting into the box it seems, so perhaps Gibson's boot is the best option. He certainly went close there.

EDIT: Has his knee popped out or something?

If it was a dislocation, I doubt it would've taken so much treatment before they took him off. Also, the reactions of the players suggested it was something more serious.

[Poppalarge]

It's clear from the you tube that his leg has snapped causing his foot to waggle in an unnatural manner
