When was Silvestre's last competitve match with Man UTD?

 

[Whodunit?]

Useless passing, because it didn't look like it had a purpose. Probably because they missed Totti, but he was there the year before, so.

I don't think they're very good at it really, they beat Madrid (comfortably) by being compact and hard to break down, attacking with individual quality in ones and twos. They didn't batter them with creativity or fluency.

We were fantastic in the first half before the penalty. After that we tightened up a little and ceded them more possesion. Considering the team we put out im very pleased with the performance. Hargreaves and Park were especially good for us.

 

[Whodunit?]

Given the fact that you're a Barca fan makes this even more weird considering te fact that Barca's the king of short one touch passing and patient play.

Yes, it is the best when it's done well. It is probably the worst (or riskiest at any rate) when it's done poorly. Two matches, zero goals scored, three conceded, the opposition not even bothering with a full strength team for the second leg, which one do you reckon Roma managed?

You can't argue with someone who blatantly refuses to see the truth. You are right of course.

Thought we did well... I believe Man U were always destined to go through, but with Totti we would have done alot more in both games. I congratulate Man Utd mind you... excellent team and squad. They have everything to win this, but so does every team left.

If anyone thinks this is a good time to open another boring EPL Vs Serie A Vs La Liga thread they can think again.

Just a heads up.

 

[K5-Hitman]

Watch it again, 100% penalty.

:howler: Browns leg clearly get the ball.


Only watched some of the first half and Roma where the better team in that half.

 

[Deano]

Well first 25 Man U were better... middle of the game Roma were better... last part Man U again. Difference is Man U were tactically perfect, even in defence... Roma were clearly not.

United vs. Chelsea final, and like I said before the thing started and again early in this thread... Chelsea to win it all.

When was Silvestre's last competitve match with Man UTD?

Everton away last September.

Been out injured since then only to return to play some reserve games in the last few weeks and of course back in the 1st team tonight.

 

[Demandred]

I can't believe some people here are claiming we had more creativity than Man Utd tonight. Let's be honest, Man Utd created more good chances in the first 25 minutes than we did in the whole game and totally deserved their victory. We had some good spells during the game, but Utd were simply better overall.

 

[deathclaw]

that penalty was bullshit, I was thinking "what an excellent tackle inside the box" and the referee actually gave it :googly: Deservedly missed.

What about a 'Should the EPL have 5 CL places' thread?

The difference was not just there although it is true that Roma was tactically a joke last night. The true difference was in the quality of both squads. Roma was missing Totti, United was missing (either due to option or injury) Vidic, Evra, Scholes, Rooney and Ronaldo.
