Manchester United

ppl actually bid for this?!?!?!

Why not? The money goes to charity and people can put a piece of chewing gum on there mantle lol.

LOL newcastle would've got relegated

:D

look at liverpool lol..:P

LOL didn't observe that,no UCL for chelsea and arsenal :p

Barcelona? Santos? Crawley town?
Wes Brown scored Vs Town.

Also vs Rangers didnt the first game finish 0-0 and the second game finished 1-0 when Fabio won the penalty and Rooney scored to end a goal drought after he refused to sing the contract?

and no Goalkeepers playing evidently.

Add no defenders to that^^^

Just watched the match again and no kiddin, Buttner was responsible for 4 goals yeah you heard it right 4 fecking goals that we could had avoided if he was not playing at LB.

But even with Buttner's negligence, Lindegaard didn't do any good to make any worthwhile saves...oh well the game had an exhibition feel right from the very start and we couldn't be arsed in the 2nd half..lol

i think buttner had to get forward as we had no winger on the left side

That's a poor excuse for not defending...his primary role as a LB was to defend and in all honesty other than the goal he scored he didn't really do much offensively to aid our attack...i think we had it covered with Robin, Chicha and Kagawa and even Clevz.

I was not impressed by his defensive abilities but it was sort of an exhibition match so didn't matter result wise...maybe now he won't be employed there and should be used as a backup for LW as his defensive frailties are getting exposed a bit too much.

I think he is usually a good defender when we play the 4-4-2 with wingers

I still don't get the logic behind buying him and sending Fabio on loan...

The logic behind that was Fabio needed game time and with Evra still being our no1. LB, there was no way he was getting any experience. Buttner was bought because there was no one to deputize for Evra in case of any emergency...and as you can see since Evra plays pretty much every game, Buttner only appeared 5 times this season compared to over 20 games for Fabio on his loan spell.

The whole defense was poor especially Buttner and Evans who got themselves in all sorts of trouble... Buttner with his positioning and getting caught up field... Evans who put himself in trouble far too many times with his play from the back something he is usually excellent at and he did not deal with Lukaku with any kind of conviction and as the senior centre half (before Rio came on) he should have done better.

But Lindegaard let Lukakus first past him which was really tame and should have been dealt with despite the accuracy of the strike.

Lukakus hatrick goal and the equalizer also should have been dealt with better by Lindegaard.

All in all had Dave played I think we would have stopped at least 2 of West Broms goals.

Lindegaards general performance lacked any conviction and it game West Brom all the impetus they needed to think they could get something out the game.

That and the substitutions... lol... The famous 108 year old midfield always asks for trouble.

Don't just blame Buttner, Evans and Jones were terrible they were getting to comfortable by passing from the back and lost concetration. Atleast this game showed us Evans and Jones won't be a good partnership at the back.

Let's not forget that Evra didn't exactly have the best of times when he first arrived at United either. Give Buttner some time to adjust and shore up his defensive game. I know he'll come good for us. Just a season ago Rafa was horrendous in defense and this season he's damn near impenetrable. Things can change, Buttner has a future at this club.

Rafa was horrendous?

LOL

Amos should be our new back up.

Aw, poor Goalie.
Do we really need a witch-hunt? Thought the season was over!

amos and sam johnstone

Good way to endear yourself to the fans. Work ethic.

The man has class ! and he'll build us some class sides to carry on the dynasty !

Hell if I was named manager of United I'll live in Old Trafford the day it was announced haha

If you're managing United you will never get a summer break lol.
