Ferguson is taking another stab at roma

Fergie not worried by Roma
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that the prospect of facing Roma in the Champions League quarter-finals is not keeping him up at night. However, he does admit that Roma have an unusual style that he will need to work out. “Their system is a key factor for us because Roma play without a central striker,” he explained. “The issue is what we do about our central defenders, whether we push one onto Francesco Totti or whether we let him drift and control the game. It is not a game that is giving me sleepless nights, but if we don't get ourselves sorted out it could be a very hard evening for us.”

i really really really want to see the expression on this prick's face after you knock them out at old trafford and you truimph.

1st manchester official smile and laugh about facing roma then they totally disrespect totti and now ferguson is basically saying im not worried about this game we should win.
but then again these factors will make roma's victory all the more sweet

There is alot of hype suddently with Roma on XT but I just hope it turns out to be the game everyone is talking about and not some stupid thing will ruin it (Ultras or fans causing trouble or ref ruining it early in the game with bookings).

I'm rooting for Roma

I was reading today that Mancini and Panucci sent out a message to C.Ronaldo that they are aware of his dribbling abilities but that he has to realize that Italian defenders a tougher tacklers.

Panucci also said that he's also aware of his diving abilities and that a lot will depend on the ref. :thumbsup:

Ferguson isn't taking a stab at Roma" because he said "It is not a game that is giving me sleepless nights".
There's nothing disrespectful in saying this, especially for a manager with Ferguson's experience and achievements.

:thumbsup:

He has said nothing to deserve being called a prick as one poster in this thread did.

Well if that guy bothered to read above, he could see Fergie said Totti is an issue due to the formation especially - but why the feck should he say ohhh noooes I cannae sleep, I'm fecked??? If he shows fear, what will the players do? Especially considering how shite we are in Europe.

He is showing respect and that's all that matters.

 

[Funlovin]

We all know that the media is trying to pump up this game... That's all
I'm just waiting for the game

:howler:

 

[thugacation]

theres alot of tension leading up to the game and its roma causing it. are u scared

 

[Drito]

What fecking tension? It's usual talk. There's more talk leading up to a crucial EPL game, than this to be honest.

 

[Osman]

Drito, Fergie talks like the Fat bastard from Austin Powers?

 

[Drito]

Aye sometimes he talks in a Glaswegian accent when he ain't being a diplomat. It's rather refreshing hearing his Govan accent - reminds me to never visit that part of the citeh while I'm here, as it's rather shite

very. who wants to go one on one with thugacation, that would scare anyone.

 

[Deano]

Well Man Utd started it and Roma have carried on. Anyway it doesnt matter about the pre-match talk, all the matters is post match and the score

 

[ASR83]

Exactly...i posted the same thing basically in the Man Utd forum...Im too excited about the game to think about pre-match comments. Right now this game cant come soon enough

 

[Funlovin]

Right now this game cant come soon enough

Couldn't say it better :thumbsup: :excited:

 

[Deano]

Anyone got any news on the line-up yet?

 

[sharp]

It seems like the question is Wil or Ferrari right now, from what I can gather .

 

[Deano]

Ferrari. Wil can come on if we need the game changed.

 

[sharp]

I concur
