Fulham are outpalying United at OT
United giving the ball away and are being very clumsy.
Fergie has changed the team and it hasn't worked at all.
Can fookin beleive how poor United are playing.

I agree with that, I for one, would like to see Scholes drop back alongside Keano - that's where he is most effective for many years and they know each other's game so well.
Fergie has yet to try Ronnie in behind Ruud and I think his trickery and vision would give defender's hell and even more significant it would give Ruud some room to breathe!
Giggs would then drop back to his favoured Left wing and Ole or Fletcher would secure the right wing.

He's done alright out-wide, but with the kind of footwork, pace and trickery he posseses, I can't help but think he could really be at-his-best in the centre of the pitch; with more freedom than he gets being "restricted" to the right-wing.
There is only so-much one-man can do down the touchline...
And Cristiano Ronaldo, at only 18, looks like a young-man who will have a LOT to offer us in the years to come; given the time and space.
I'm still concerned what could happen if we lose van Nistelrooy to injury though... Without him, it could all be over! We still rely too-heavily on his goals to get us everywhere, as, almost, the "one-man strikeforce".
If he has a sudden reccurance of that career-threatening knee-injury, that could be it...!
We've been linked with January swoops for players like Adriano and Patrick Kluivert (again!), but, just like last season, I don't see Fergie doing any spending until at least the Summer. :(
I suppose Ole Solskjaer could do a half-decent job for a while, but he's currently injured, and has proved a real 'asset' for playing out-wide, also. And, he's the "Super-Sub" - no a natural starter.
Then there's Diego Forlan... A talented young-man with a lot of confidence, but who very rarely actually hits-the-target, and will often opt to go-solo rather than provide for a man in better space.
His goal at the weekend was brilliant. But, aside from that, everything else he did was more-or-less wasted as he opted for glory over the good od the team. He's still learning. He couldn't lead the attack like van Nistelrooy.

Fletcher could well fill that role in the next few years, but now is where the problem lies.

Yep I agree, but unfortunatly he was man marked by 2 of the Fulham defenders, he really needs a partner upfront who can run into spaces if Ruud is marked tightly.
Giggs and Ronaldo did try but their srvice to Ruud was being cut out and that's why I said we need an adequate replacement for Beckham - someone who can deliver and create chances.

Yes, maybe, but Ronaldo and Giggs threatened for the whole game, and van Nistelrooy hardly got any chances all game.

Snipe® - The Penalty was a dive by Matt Holland but as your manager says "these kind of decisions even themselves out in a season" (Speaking after the penalty Arsenal got when Pires Dived)

MMMMWHAHAhAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
oh yes.
oh yes.
I was there. Corporate hospitality and all that, being the lucky sod I am.
But, even though I'm a Man United fan, I'll say it was a good game . The only reason United lost was that there was no Roy Keane to control the midfield, and the weather was crap. It rained for about 4 hours on and off before the match, and eventually Ronaldo, Giggs and Djemba Djemba were falling over every time they tried to dribble; they weren't used to the hopeless playing surface. Fulham are used to the godshite pitch at Loftus Road, so they had an advantage. Plus you get a bit cocky afer 33 home games without defeat.
And two Fulham goals were flukes.
