Manchester United v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - OFFICIAL Match Thread

Ricardo's got a habit of bringing down the player in one on one's - dunno how he's avoiding being sent off, he will one day if he keeps doing that. Thank feck he skied the penalty! He was worse than Owen! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
 
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> CMON UNITED, UNITED, UNITED.......... <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />
 
"Worse than Chris Waddle in Italia 90"

Is that a foreign tactic - preferring to take the player out if necessary, rather than risk a goal?
 
United obviously took notes from Liverpool's defending for that pen... <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

How many sitters have gone begging for us alredy? story of our season.
 
We've started pretty positively going forwards, but despite, Fortune trying hard, we still look exposed defensively.
 
Agreed, Neil. Where are rthe tackles going to come from in midfield?

Elizabeth,

I hope Ruud nets his very next chance!
 
Great save by Ricardo just then! Punched the ball very far out with great reactions. They're shooting on sight.

I always told you that he was a very good keeper. <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

So far Fortune's having to do that all himself.

your are right, but I have seen him playing on TV a couple of times

he tends to cut into middle too much, trying to play the striker's role

get pretty frustrated watching that

He's done well in the reserves, has good reactions, is fast, likes to come out like Barthez.

Did you hear the crowd moan when Veron gave the ball away?

His cross for Ruud's first chance in the first couple of minutes, nothing since.

Nice work by Micky over to Beckham, led to a very good cross, great diving header to clear by them though. Ruud would have had that otherwise.

Yeah the Veron moan from the crowd said a lot...!
