I’m guessing Carrick sits deeper while Cleverley has some freedom

Sure hope he does n his passing is in top form as well

probably important to keep in mind
Cleverley’s first game since October. I worry a bit about United fans having way too high expectations for the kid.

our recent captain :)

Pressing Game
Always a bit nervy when teams decide to press united high up the pitch, i think thats the surprise De boer wants to spring on Utd tonite
by SmittenByManutd on Feb 16, 2012 5:16 PM GMT reply actions
Hopefully Chica
Can get in behind and stretch their D as a way to relieve pressure then
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 5:23 PM GMT up reply actions

already made
one or two clever runs off of Carrick
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:08 PM GMT up reply actions
Sucks i gotta leave for work in about 10 mins
aarrgggghhhh
ahhh shit
I got football training in just over an hour, so will have to leave before it finishes too
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:11 PM GMT up reply actions
slightly
hopefully something he can run off
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:16 PM GMT up reply actions
good movement
And a good pass to find him though
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:17 PM GMT up reply actions
Yeah, good pass by Young
he seems to be taking up a central position right now…good to see some versatility
by Amen Amachigh on Feb 16, 2012 6:19 PM GMT up reply actions
Allows Fabio to bomb down the wing too
Like what Liverpool done to us with Kuyt cutting in and Johnson getting forward
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:20 PM GMT up reply actions
Chica's movement is causing some problems
I think it is a matter of time before we find him and he is through
Hopefully
Yeah, there's goal in this one definitely...
Chicha looks hungry : )
by Amen Amachigh on Feb 16, 2012 6:23 PM GMT up reply actions
Ohhh almost
Rooney with a through ball that Chica almost latches on too
Just a tad too heavy though.
It must be so beneficial for Smalling, Evans and Jones to be in training with Rio
He has such a presence on the ball
by FromAutzenWithLove on Feb 16, 2012 6:46 PM GMT reply actions
Evans is playing with the swagger of Rio
And Jones combined
So relaxed on the ball, and then surging forward every now and then to give us an extra man in attack. It helps that Carrick can cover in defense when this happens too
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:48 PM GMT up reply actions
I think he has played well
He hasn’t been busting his ass all over the field, but just held back slightly and pulled some strings. If he bombs forward he’l leave us exposed.
A good performance for his first in almost 5 or so months
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 6:56 PM GMT up reply actions
Yep
Not all over the place probing as we are used to, but my word Nani can be frustrating!
Was that a shot cross conversion attempt??
Better second half i hope
by SmittenByManutd on Feb 16, 2012 7:01 PM GMT reply actions
That attempt was awful
Hasn’t had a good game at all
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 7:02 PM GMT up reply actions
Maybe could have lifted it over the keeper
But he was under pressure
by Sweet science on Feb 16, 2012 7:08 PM GMT up reply actions
Can Young not cross with his left?
Bc he never does….
Right fella's
I have to love you and leave you. Football training calls
Play nice…. Here’s hoping for a United goal or two
NICE! Goal by Young
I thought he lost his chance when he didn’t hit it 1st time…but he made room for himself and put his foot through it….well deserved based on the run of play.
Nani has been off all day...
His head’s not in this game
Doesn't seem like we're trying to get the 2nd goal...
We seem to be shutting it down a little bit…not sure why with only one goal up.
Let's get another one
Shut this one down and make the return leg a formality.
DAMN!!!
I didn’t wake up to watch this!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!
Well we won...
Got a 2-0 decsion going back to OT next week. I know Sir Alex wasn’t happy with the result but they got up two goals in Amsterdam and that’s a plus.
How they play though? Didn’t see it since I don’t have Directv.
BTW got that colorful and creative looking stand at Amsterdam ArenA, can’t say there wasn’t effort being but into that lol.
