Comments on: Man Utd v Roma: Preview http://redrants.com/man-utd-v-roma-preview/ Manchester United Blog Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:48:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Grognard http://redrants.com/man-utd-v-roma-preview/comment-page-3/#comment-13543 Grognard Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:55:39 +0000 http://redrants.com/man-utd-v-roma-preview/#comment-13543 JB; We were all expecting this kind of performance from Hargo much earlier but lets not forget that he is only getting over the knee tendinitis that has plagued him since last year. My claim was to defend him until he could prove his worth. I think he showed his quality tonight, correct? We are untouchable with Hargo and Carrick in the middle. I actually loved the fact that Hargo played to the right of Carrick and that Michael actually played the role of the holding midfielder. It allowed Hargo to make those great runs forward and above all, those lethal passes and crosses into the box. He was unlucky to not have a goal too. Just outstanding. HARGORIFIC!

They were saying things like <em>"Sorry but barring some sort of miracle display from Messi, Man Utd will destroy us. I just watched them play Saturday and Ronaldo is unstoppable, plus Rooney and Tevez are not far behind. We couldnt keep BETIS from scoring 3 goals in 45 minutes, what makes you think we can stop Man Utd. Yes football is a funny game, and anything can happen, especially with a player like Messi on our team. However realistically it is a long shot, Messi will be just coming off a 6 week injury and he will need a few games to get back his form. Plus the problems we have right now are much deeper than simply Messi and while his presence will certainly help I dont see how even Messi can save our season now. Like Winterhunt said beating Shalke would be like putting a plaster on a bullet wound. Would you rather lose to Shalke by 1 goal or Man Utd by 3 or 4 (maybe more)? Its a tough question, but I think I would go for the first option."</em> and "<em>Even if we somehow get past Schalke and face a heavy opposition in Man United, will they trash us completely? Will Barca suffer the same humiliation as Roma did last year?"</em> Ahhhh fear, isn't it great? :) Nino one that comes to mind is this one, when they were panicking after losing to Real Betis after going 2-0 up.
