Man Utd v Mar

[benin]

for large stretches of the game i thought united had 2 new midfielders carricklossesit and gibsongivesitaway

Watched some reserve games and there are a few midfielders coming up if we have the patience.

Pogba is a 17 year old in the mould of a Vierra, and there is a guy Ravel Morrisson, attacking midfileder, he looks to have it all.

Few more as well but cant think of the names

[takemedrunkimhome]

Yeah it is a different level, but that Morrison guys looks pretty special. I dont usually let myself get worked up about young players but I heard about him 4 years ago over in Manchester when a gang of us were over for a game.

We met one of the guys who was pretty high up in the supporters club and he told us to keep an eye out for him.

An awful game,not a patch on the barca/arsenal game last week,anyone that says rooney is back to his best need only watch this game to show that he has a fair bit to go to be the player he was last year.....

agreed...but i dont think anyone said he was back to his best...the city goal was amazing..but not a return to form.

The media was claiming it and sky were making a big deal about the goal...i just have a gut feeling that we may never see the best of him again...its almost a year since he was the player he can be...

[Van Patten]

Just no talent in midfield,......Giggs, Scholes...hardly the future

Ya I would have confidence in Ferguson finding a short term solution to the midfield problem but what happens when he leaves things could fall apart.

Arsenal are looking good in midfield now with Wilshere, Nasri, Ramsey, Song, Diaby and Fabregas.

and I am still wondering how they are atop the EPL table does this mean others are not up to them even though there is not much flare in the game. as for as the English clubs in round 16, spurs played exiting game even without Gareth bale.

Defensively they are the best team in the EPL..they rarely give soft goals away and they are able to do enough to win games even without a midfield which they really haven't had in a cpl of years

Yes there the exact opposite of Arsenal (Strong attack, weak defence) but they have some tough fixtures coming up and Arsenal some easier ones so i would make Arsenal favoutires.
