Man Utd v Besiktas

[Speedy]

Man Utd reserves are looking impressive but are getting beat 1-0 after a goal from nowhere.

The Greeks are way out their depth in this Competition. They have given the ball away so many times

Seen that obertan a few times now, much did he cost man utd?

reminds me of ivan sproule.... on his first game for hibs!!:bitchy:

Man U only need 1 point from their last 2 games to win the group, but the fact is they have not qualified yet.

If they don't get the point tonight, Wolfsburg will fancy themselves to beat Man U in Germany and that would leave CSKA with a chance to beat Besiktas and possibly knock Man U out.

The commentators seem oblivious to this. I bet Sir Alex is well aware, tho. :wink:

I don't think so, CSKA can only draw level with Man Utd, Man Utd would go through on the head to head results between the teams.

Do you think he would have a whole 2nd string team out if there was the slightest chance he could go out?

[surreyhibbie]

Not exactly gripping though....:yawn:

[lumbo_hfc]

Looks a useful player ..:agree:

Still young i suppose but when i have seen him he doesn't look man utd class! likes to get his head down and run (sometimes out the pitch)

They've already qualified

worst case scenario for Man U is that three teams finish with 10 points => three team head to head calculation

Man U beat CSKA once and Wolfsburg at home +draw with CSKA = 7 points

Wolfsburg won the home games but lost the away games = 6 points

CSKA have only beaten Wolfsburg at home +draw at Man U = 4 points

Man U would win the group and Wolfsburg would be second


The worst Man U can do is second, if they lose by 1-0 or 2+ clear goals to Wolfsburg and CSKA DON'T win against Besiktas

Correct :doh:

Thanks P/T S.

I didn't realise that the head to head came before the goal difference.

Really, really boring game. Had to switch from STV, couldnae listen to Craig effing Burley any longer :grr:

[surreyhibbie]

Superb game. total football:agree:

you on drugs?:confused:

[LancashireHibby]

Man U should be heavily fined or charged under the trades descriptions act

That'd help their debt no end :agree:

[fatbloke]

you on drugs?:confused:

Why have you got some to sell??

Just joking B.

[fatbloke]

Not exactly gripping though....:yawn:

not as gripping as eating 6 curries or 4 kilos of prunes - now that's gripping - or more like hanging on for grim death.

[jdships]

Wonder how the punters must have felt paying £50 (?) for a European Cup game to find when they arrived it was Man Utd reserves ? :greengrin

Eh?

Instantly looks like a footballer. The guy will be top quality.

On another post you said he likes to get his head down and run, sometimes out the pitch?

Are you sure you are watching the same guy? Brilliant upward and smooth running style and goes past guys like they aren't there.

I've got to agree, looks like he'll mature into a decent player to me too! :agree:

Why would you want to hang on for a grim death. Just go quicker for a not so grim death! :cool2:

The similarity being that they are black and French?

[lumbo_hfc]

The similarity being that they are black and French?

also they are very quick(not much of a footballing brain i dont think) and about the same age when they joined united! we will see if he is any good in a couple of years, all i said was i have been dissapointed when i have seen him!

Are you actually sure you are watching the same guy?

The guy looks to have a great football brain and ability and I'm not seeing the guy you are - someone who runs fast and out the pitch - he actually has great skiill and ability to go past people, but not really pacy. I have seen most of his time on the pitch now and have no idea what you are seeing?

He's one of these rare guys you see and he just holds himself and does everything with a bit of style. I think he could be a bit special.

Mmmm, you're a wise old owl.

Just back from Old Trafford with the wee man as it was his birthday.

You're right, a lot of money but I tell you what it doesnae half make you see how the other live.

Fantastic stadium, great pitch and a wonderful experience for anybody.

Disappointing result but what I found interesting is very few United fans complained they got right behind their team as did the Turks - crazy crazy noise for a couple of thousand and all started by one fella who orchestrated all the singing and chanting.

Great stuff!
