Just incase you didn't know they are through to the last 16 in The Uefa Champions League Man United beat Panathinaikos in Athens thanks to a late goal from Diego Forlan. And Chelsea draw 0-0 with Sparta Prague, they dominated the game but couldn’t find the back of the net, actually they did thanks to Hernan Crespo but it was ruled out, he also hit the crossbar.
Can't wait till Sunday's game, going to be a cracker.

I found a clip of Ronaldo in action:

We need more re-inforcements to our squad, that goes without saying.
We have some decent young players for the future but also need players for the here and now.
Once Scholes and Ole return this will relieve the situation somewhat but that alone isn't enough.

No, I didn't mean it like that :P
It was just a general accusation that if someone's injured (in the required position), then someone of Ronaldo's experience (or lack thereof) should be named as the only suitable replacement.
I don't think Utd have compensated for the loss of Beckham yet.

Stu - Ronaldo at 18 has a lot to learn and he doesn't really play week in week out, but looking at yesterday's line up we had 'one' creative player in midfield who was playing on the right wing! that's Giggs a LEFT Footer, who was marked out of the game playing with with 3 defensive type players.
Once Ronaldo came on he was put on the right wing and Giggs moved over to the left and it was much more balanced midfield and it worked - the game swung United's way and we stretched them on the wings.
If this had been the case from the very start, we may have had a chance to get something from the game.
The truth is Ronaldo & Butt/Kleberson should have started the game, and if players were playing in their correct positions we may have got something out of the game - as it happens we took the negative approach and got punished for it.

Well Fortune's no Roy Keane either.
Both of them (certainly at the moment) shouldn't warrant their places in a Man Utd team, I'm sure you'll agree.

Compared with Fortune, who gets the ball, dodges five tacles and then passes to the opposition? At least Ronaldo looks good on the ball.

I'm sorry to all the United fans for saying this, but overall this season, Ronaldo is nothing special. A few tricks and shimmies here and there, and he loses the ball. He's hardly a Ryan Giggs, and I wouldn't expect to be. But for that notion, I believe that he certainly shouldn't be getting in the United squad week-in week-out.

Im sorry Solskjaer, but how can you expect Fergie to drop an inform striker?
This result wasn't Forlan's fault, it's a team game and if the strikers don't get service - they won't score simple as that.
just look at the stats of shot's on traget and that will tell you how many chances we had.
Forlan was mch more livlier than van Nistlerooy yesterday and had to make chances himself because Giggs and Ruud were marked out the game. Like you said "30 yard efforts" this had to be done since there were no intelligent balls through to the strikers from the midfield.
Personally the result yesterday was down to team selection in the midfield - the game was won because Chelsea's midfield was stronger and a lot more balanced than ours.
> He'd better by someone else in January, or else...!!
Agreed, but somehow I fear the worst....
