very pissed off with our team and bitter about the match, we should've finished at least one of our chances if not all (Totti, Perrotta and Esposito), but congrats anyway, you deserve the win because of that very fact.
Thanks, good luck in your next games, especially in Serie A. Hope you play the same way you did today after we scored that goal (but this time put the ball in the net). Don't let Juve win the league. Roma is the only the team I like in Serie A. Wait, Let me rephrase. Roma is the only team that i dont hate in Serie A :smileani:

Is it me or is UTd's attack a tad shittier? when was the last time Utd got accustomed to 1-0 wins?
Amr, it´s Juve-style. ;) I am happy about the win and the points, but "great" is far far away from what I saw yesterday. Where was the magic of that night in April? A little bit of it only would have been good.

Brilliant result, considering the chances that Roma missed. Plus from one angle, it definitely looked liked a penalty that Carrick caused in the box (nowhere near the ball).

Nani is going to be a gem, while great to see Rooney scoring so soon after his injury comeback. We look well on our way to qualify, which hopefully means that in the last 2 games, we can rest our 1st team squad.

agreed ..

Roma really had some attempt chances and were able to score in many times as Rooney and Nani for Manu who got 2 or 3 chances in front of the net ..

I think Man United has become the favourite team to go through this group after 2 rounds and 2 with complete 6 points . :)

What I'm worried about is the midfield though. Carrick and Scholes are not playing the way they played last season. Hopefully they will also start clicking and will start producing the dominating performances of last season.
I agree with ya .

If we look at most of the team`s attacks or chances are built by the wingers Nani or Ronaldo more than Carrick and Scholes . May the sir wants from them or give them more defensive roles or there is really a drop in their level a little bit . nothing prominent they have produced .

:cool:
 
Interesting game.

Roma deserve respect simply because of how they try to play the game. They don't have the best collection of players but they play some great stuff. Basically, they attacked well enough to have at least gotten a draw out that match. I mean, Esposito :groan:

Had Pizarro started, maybe they would've.

United struggled to attack as a unit like they have all season. Rooney, for whatever reason wasn't really dropping of Saha when he really should've been. When he did get the ball is was pretty terrible. Obviously he scored the goal, but aside from that he was pretty poor.

Carrick and Scholes struggled yet again simply due to the fact that none of the front four fancied coming deep to collect the ball.

Roma should not be disheartened, they played well.

We should buy Veloso in January, he's something different to what we have, imo
Sporting are going to want as much(25.5 M Euros), if not more, than they got for Nani.
 
I thought Esposito was unlucky... his shot just missed, even though indeed he should have scored... Im more angry with Perrotta who missed an empty net... not just because he missed this empty net, but its the 3rd empty net in a row he has missed and cost us dearly.

there were some chances which pissed Roma fans off not only Perotta`s chance , like Esposito , Totti ..

Hard luck Deano .

Scholes didnt play well but for me carrick had a good game..not great But good game.....Tactically We didnt get it right..when Roma are playing 2 Dm's and 3 Attacking midfileders,...we have 2 wingers and 2 passing mid fileders....So when Roma have the ball the wingers come inside to support scholes and carrick..So when roma lose the ball we dont have any one wide to give the ball so that we can take advantage....

and when we do get the ball to the wingers its too late and roma already got back and organised their defense...Our full backs also cannot support because they are to deal with mancini on one side...

But nani came broke the defense on 2 ocassions when he delevered agreat ball to Rooney and rooney missed the volley..he should have scored nani took 2 defenders with him and rooney was unmarked.......


Rio had a good game and he put one great tackle....also totti's chance Kuszak did very well he made it difficult fot totti...all in all it was a nice game....still think that we need to get tactically right if we are to win this competetion......Owen is going to be very IMp for us....
 
Vidic has it spot on, most of the team was crap.

@Mutu: They would have been overran in the middle if they
played Pizarro from the start.

Whats going on with Scholes btw, he was slowing the play down
so much, this isnt the same ginger prince I used to know...

Also Rooney WTF was he doing, all night he was hanging around
in useless positions and not supporting Saha, the only time he got
in a dangrous area he scored the only goals...

PS: It was a pen :D but who cares...

Onwards and upwards...
