The very official indeed United (away) vs Haifa (at home in Cyprus) thread

It's only a B team, and we're qualified...Don't worry too much, even if the score is harsch.

Come on Wibble, chin up, put this into perspective. It matters not. At least we've rested the majority of our midfield, and we've given some valuable experience to some youngsters.

Worrying thing is, we still have Solskjaer and Forlan up there.
 
If we're level on points with B. Leverkusun after next week's match, does anyone know how the winner of the group is decided? Is it the head to head record that matters or does it come down to goal differential in the group?

No Ruud, no Keane, no Butt, no Giggs, no Verón, no Beckham, no Barthez, no Blanc. What do you expect?

If we are equal with Bayer on points, it goes on the repestive results between us. The agregate score if you like.

head to head. So we can lose 0-1 to Leverkusen really and still finish top.

Reckon you and me should take over Liv - at least as women we have a right to be feckin frustrating ;)

And now they have a penalty but no card for Ricardo.</strong><hr></blockquote>


I do feel frustrated. But I don't know why - it was on the cards. Tbh, I can understand us not scoring with no physical presence and a very under-strength midfield.

But we've conceded three with what is arguably our best defence.

But not the best midfield (or anything near). The two first goals would not have been scored had Keano or Butt where around.

Can't blame the defence about two players hitting the shots of their lives from 25-30 yards.

no Keano will be back and Ruud playing too - I think we'll get a win.
 
Let's be honest though.

Haifa needed to win to at least get a UEFA spot. We wanted to win, but didn't need to. There was no psychological urgency.

If the players had played at 100 per cent, we might have had a few more injuries.

A win would have been nice but not essential. I hope the players don't get a hard time.

I'm not blaming anyone. I was questioning the comment about Keane and Butt.

I just think that with a real def midfield we'd have had a better chance of blocking those.

Reckon we've just gone round in a circle.
