tonight was an absolute joke, NANI, Park were superb and gave everthing and were let down by team mates that were already thinking about the knock out phase, hope this makes fergie and the yanks realise how much we needed to sign a world class midfielder and another striker(sneijder , Modric,) in the summer, think we need to buy big time in jan or it could be the end of not just CL but the end of the premier title, we seem to have lost our desire and seem to go into every match thinking we've already won before kick off

I have to be honest lads i think ashley young has been a flop every 1 hyped him up at the start sayin he began well gettin 3 goals and 5assists? 1 was a lucky og against westbrom the other two were against a 3rd string arsenal team where we won 8-2, as for the 5 assists 3 of dem came from just stopin the ball for rooneys freekicks which the FA still count as assists. Young dusnt look like he can actually skin a player even his crossin has become bad. is it me only can any1 else remember us scorin from a corner.
P.S. tonight was shocking i just hope its like 05.06 season where we go on and rebuild.
Also what u guys think about fergie, i believe hes still prbly of the best managers ever, but what if next season we get knocked out again, do u guys think his job wud be safe? please reply lads {Ed007's Note - I never thought Young was Utd class but was willing to give him a chance. I still don't think he is Utd class.}

Right after every shocking and deflating defeat a lot of fans like to express their opinions on what should be done to get us out of the slump. I am one of them fans lol. 
However I believe major finance is needed to change the club and restore it as the powerhouse it WAS in Europe and England. 

In the goal keeping section we are fine. I have high hopes for De Gea and it is obvious the majority of opposition supporters and pundits try to put him down and belittle him. Lindengaard is capable of being first choice and is a top keeper aswell. Amos is a good third choice keeper and does a job when called upon. Kuschack is leaving.. end of. Won't be here next year or even in January. 

VERDICT - Secure with only Kuschack leaving 

In defence we have very good options for centre back and right back. However in saying that I think work needs to be done in the centre back position. IMO Rio and Evans should both be sold. Rio is past his peak and we could get a bit of money for him now. Evans is too risky. Always makes a mistake under pressure and costs the team, ie the city game. I would sign Rodwell to play in defence as he is a very good player and will only get better playing at manutd. Evra has to go at the end of his year and I would select Alba as his replacement. Equally as good going forward and defends well. I also have huge expectations of Rafael. Something in him just makes me value him so highly. He is like a mini Neville. He will fight for this club. I think he will be a top player for us. Unfortunately he needs to shake of all these niggles but we have a lot of cover for him with Smalling, Fletcher, Jones and Valencia as well as his brother all being versatile.

VERDICT - Rio, Evans and Evra out. Rodwell and Alba in. 

In midfield it is obvious, we need a HUGE improvement. I actually think the only people worth keeping are Cleverley and Fletcher (Brilliant squad player and will give his all). I would hope that Giggs retires, leaving as a professional as I would hate to see him starting to struggle on the pitch. Carrick I don't think he is as bad as people say he is, he does a decent job. However decent is not good enough we should have the best. He is only going to get worse while getting older and we could get more then 8 million for him so it makes financial sense. Anderson has had enough chances I rated him so highly before this year, he just doesn't seem to have that drive and determination needed in midfield. Finally Gibson is a MUST to leave and I think Park should leave as well, as his performances I have been awful so far this year but would give him the year to improve as he is usually better at the latter stages of the campaign. Finally I would make 3 high profile and significant signings. I would sign Eriksen AND Götze as our attack has been suffering the most lately and both have different playing styles and both WILL be world class players. I have no doubt about it. The last signing being Martinez as he offers the defensive approach needed as well. Him, Fletcher, Jones and Rodwell can all play the role. It leaves five players Fletcher, Cleverley, Marintez, Götze and Eriksen going for normally two positions maybe 3 resulting in more squad competition which all the tops team have, look at Barcelona's midfield. 

VERDICT - Out Giggs, Park, Carrick, Anderson and Gibson. Incoming Götze, Eriksen and Martinez

In attack there is a significant amount of deadwood. Berbatov looks like he is leaving which will bring in around 10 million. I would let Macheda, Owen and Diouf leave as well. Keeping Rooney, Welbeck and Chicharito. Now only one of them is currently world class (not solemnly on the basis of one match as we post people think tonight). Therefore I think either Robin Van Persie (unlikely) or Higuain should be a necessity to add experience and a lot more quality in our attack. On the wings we would have Young, Nani and Valencia. Now looking at that there is no left footed winger there. The only world class ones I can think of are Di Maria (very expensive), Bale (even more expensive) and Shaqiri. Now I know a lot will judge me for jumping on his bandwagon which is certain to reoccur. However he was extremely good tonight. Now I would not sign him after one game but am going to follow him closely for the rest of the year to see how he progresses as he has huge talent and is physically built so will not be affected playing in the premiership. On the wings it is probably the least prioritised area and if the rest of those players above were purchased Nani, Young, Valencia, Welbeck, Rooney, Götze, Fletcher and the twins can operate there. 

VERDICT - Deadwood out, so Berbatov, Macheda, Diouf,Owen out. Incoming either RVP or Higuain and one of Di Maria, Bale or Shaqiri. 

Finally I know that is a huge squad overall and I have realised I have been playing too much FIFA as of late but can any Manchester United fan say that huge changes are not needed? I have suggested 7 new faces which doesn't seem too unrealistic (the number of signings not who the signings are) over two windows. 
So what significant changes would you make?

Ps rant over... sorry for the long read

07 Dec 2011 23:19:18
Not just because of tonight but I've thought it for a while that shaqiri would be a great signing for us and I doubt would cost any more than £10M,would love to see javi martinez also but not sure that's going to happen.
Need to get rid of the dead wood in the squad now aswell,carrick,park,berbatov,gibson, macheda,anderson and of course evans all need to go now and get so more creative players who are good on the ball who know how to pass a ball!
Also I'd get rid of valencia and try and replace him with junior hoilett of blackburn.
One things for sure though big changes needed to this squad in my opinion!

Worse thing about tonight's performance, Vidic possibly being out for four months! Not good.

we sure showed sniejder. His going to miss out on all the fantastic europa football in exchange for the boring champion league football
The revenue we will lose from missin out on champions league football is more than the cost of sniejders wages. What a good piece of business.
Speaking of greedy mecernaries, rooney missed 2 clear cut opportunities, cant help but imagine what the outcome would have been with someone like rvp, cavani or higuain up there instead and a creative player like sniejder on the edge of the box.

p.s why was welbeck not on from the start?

07 Dec 2011 22:55:43
1st time postet long time reader, having watched the game tonight I cant beleive where its left us bring on macheda for manchester united is unacceptable just wanted to know lads in both january and summer what positions do ye think we need filled and what idiol realistic players would they be

SAF's arrogance avoided us to qualify. We really never used a good team is this CL group stage... I really don't give a f***ck! Was better like this otherwise we would be humiliated again in the CL and I hope it serves as wake up call to Mrs. AF and his pseudo Amazing squad.

The easiest group with the last CL finalist... Joke, Joke...

No trophies after spending that much? Who we bought?
Jones- good
Young-good
Gea- necessary(great)
CM-?
AM?
DM-?

We gave all the season's hope to Cleverly and now we end up on the s**t, just like Man City.

No PL, no Carling Cup, no CL and in the end of everything I'm sure that will hear people say about the positives to take against BASEL. F****k

Throw everything on my post but you that is the truth, WE ARE BANAL right now and won't win nothing, end of story.

Let's start planing next SEASON already because this one is over already. Yeah I said that. Agree or Disagree but deep in your head and heart you know that we are done for this season.

HolyUnited

07 Dec 2011 22:30:06
Well,fergie can't say he didn't see this coming,and to make matters worse.this was the easiest of groups.couldn't hold back the tears tonight.
Fergie should buy players and stop giving excuses of not being united's standard.
Last transfer window some players like-
turan
vidal
witsel
defour
costa
diego
and some other players were avaliable.
If we had signed at least two of the above players,even though they might not be world class,but they would have performed far better than the midfielders we currently have.
Apart from the keeping department,the midfield and striking positions are weak.
Rooney and chica are good players,but when one or both of them gets injured,who would stand in for them?is it welbeck,macheda?owen? Or berbie?.the answer is no.
We need 2 midfielders,a left back and a striker.
January transfer is a must or we might exprience worse suituation than this.

"Just heard that the Manchester clubs are jointly releasing a fragrance for Christmas: Channel No.5."

07 Dec 2011 22:22:41
I'll probably think differently after I have cooled off but I am livid.

It wasn't our night tonight plain and simple, the ref had a poor game and the bounce just bounced away from us where it just fell it to there path. Even saying that we were poor, the penetration and actual presence in the box was dire. Rooney had an abysmal game, his mind was clearly somewhere else. For the second goal I could hardly believe my eyes that Smalling just let that go, shocking defending and awareness. Basel just shoved 9 men behind the ball everytime we attacked and it worked, well done.

Ok that's tonight done with, now the 9 points we gained say it all to me and I'm not crying we didnt buy that's where we went wrong because it's not. That squad of 'professional' players should of walked that group. There's no way we should have not beaten Benfica and Basel at home. It is simply unacceptable. The players are an embaressment and should hate playing in the Europa league because it's what they deserve. I sincerely hope this is the slap in the face that some players at the club needed, otherwise this is going to be a very long year if we don't dip in to the market in January.

Literally, the only silver lining I can see from this is that the Europa league will be a good platform for the youngsters to step their game up and give them some experience.

I think the players need to take a long look in the mirror and see if they want to be at this club or think they are good enough for this club.

Rant over.

I'm glad we are out already! we will avoid more humiliation and maybe now we can concentrate on the English Cup our last hope... Joke...

I'm trying to find the positive things here, Playing in the easiest group and be knocked out to Europe League against BASEL! And most of the guys are finding positives on the game we lost? INFERIOR opponent? We had 6 games to qualify. if we didn't is because we are not good enough to be here.

Thank you mr. Ferguson and the amazing kids!!

HolyUnited

07 Dec 2011 22:12:13
Roy Keane couldn't of said it any better. We got what we deserved.

I understand what SAF was trying to do with playing giggs and Park in midfield what with the experience n'all, but It just didn't work.

we're going to get the same stuff we got six years ago with the 'united are over' BS, but it's been said time and time again that we're simply going through a transitional period and we've just got to deal with it.

Will we come back as the mighty United of old, I'm not so sure, our current squad looks full of potential but I think we're overhyping some of it and they won't set the world alight as some are expecting.

It'll be a tough 2/3 years but I'm sure we'll be fine in the long run.

Onwards and upwards though, congrats to Basel, they played really well, we didn't, end of story.

I have a gift for the bunch of posters who proclaimed at the start of the season that there wasn't much of a difference between Barca and ManU. The gift is a whacking great slice of humble pie....feel free to gorge yourselves on it.
Easiest group in the CL and Basel put you lot to the sword as Palace did. Mmmmm tasty.

07 Dec 2011 22:02:52
Cue the dramatics. ''Sell Rooney'', ''Fergie out'', ''we need to spend £200m on this squad''

Seriously though, first half was one our better performances (at least of the last couple of months...) and I felt we were unlucky to have the stuffing knocked out of us with their goal- whish I still maintain should not have stood. It's pretty clear the squad is not up to it, with all the injuries have we've had such limited options (in midfield I'm talking about).

But it's pretty clear that the confidence is suffering. The early season form was, in my opinion, a result of young, fresh energy and ideas being brought into the team with Welbeck, Cleverley, Jones, etc. but now we've got injuries and the confidence is zapped with recent results. I genuinely believe we were still incredibley unlucky to lose that game.

I'll get the disagrees I'm sure but I'd like some real discussion too.

Great first half display, half decent 2nd half display, just no end product. Why Macheda came on and not Valencia is beyond me, Macheda couldn't hit a barn door whereas Valencia would have ran at the fullbacks. So it will be the Europa league, not sure we will take that too seriously, perhaps a chance to do some youth blooding. What does this mean financially? Well we have already made a minimum of £26m in prize money, so we will be taken a £20m hit from last year's £46m, but we will earn an extra £5m from the EPL as all teams will. So we haven't been hit too bad financially so there is no reason not to spend in the summer. It also means we can now theoretically sign players who have played in the CL this season. I will be proper p1ssed if Basel draw Apoel Nicosia next round, but even though the Europa is pretty naff, we will play some minnows that we have never played before, could be great experience for the youth.

Hello loyal followers!

This post goes out to all you Mancs, especially Matthew and Disney. Who felt the need to bombared our page, after our unlucky 1-0 defeat away to Fulham,

You are a terrible, terrible, terrible team. With a terrible, terrible, squad. You have no spine to your 'terrible' team, which was proven (again) tonight, against a very weak Basel side.

You have the audacity to TRY and give us banter, and what i've seen so far this season. We look a better footballing team, than you do at the moment.

I've sooooooooooo many things to say about your weak, terrible, atrocious, abysmal team/squad.

Questions please.......I'll be here for a while.

Ps. I havn't forgot your 2-1 defeat at home to Palace, with a team that will 'Dominate for years' lol

07 Dec 2011 21:45:12
Feels sick with anger after that match, after seeing Rooney miss the unmissable chance i knew we was going to lose, for them to score 2 was cruel, for us to then score one immediately after that is diabolically cruel. This may be a blessing in disguise, as results are now affecting the rat faced faced Glazers wallets this may force their hand (yeah right). Rooney should be benched at the weekend, he cant play professional football at the moment, never mind white pele, hes a pale heskey. I want us to play the kids in Europa league, all focus must now be on the league.

Before we get all the doom and gloom merchants on here, I would just like to say that although we do need some new faces, we had absolutely no luck tonight. We had Rooneys chance missed which every other time in a season he would have scored, we lost Vidic, before their 2nd Rooney made a tackle on the edge of the box which then got stuck in his feet which would have been a break otherwise, the ref only added 30 secs extra injury time rather than 2 mins he should have done for time wasting, etc. etc. the list is pretty much endless. In fact the only luck we did have was when Jones got the goal but that was too late.

In your face MU. Now each one of you can talk about how u can get Shaqiri for the next one week. And why wud he or any other player want to come to yous when you are not even in CL. HA

07 Dec 2011 21:39:56
Hopefully now at least Fergie will understand this bunch are not good enough. Would have been different with Hernandez, Anderson, Cleverly, Vidic all playing but seriously we need to make at least 2 signings in Jan. Creative CM and a Ball winning machine please....

Well I believe this defeat will show Fergie that the deadwood has to go. Memories of 2005-2006.
Deadwood are : Evra, Rio, Park, Gibson, Berbatov, Owen, Diouf, Macheda, Giggs, Drinkwater, Rooney( I'll dare say it)
Bring in a CB, LB, DCM, CAM, WINGER, STRIKER

I really can't watch this.

Fergie is very naive:
Rooney Is having a shocker
In fairness quality does not surround him
Nani is very ......
Evans....arrrrrrrrr :(
De Gea wont catch a ball
Giggs is a legend but I'm afraid he needs to stop and let us remember the gud days not now

United are an absolute shambles, the game is run by the chairmen, if you have owners that take money out for their own pockets while others plow 10 times that into signing players then you get left behind....miles behind!

Either the glazers put money into the squad to the tune of €150m or they should sell to a chairman who loves the club otherwise all those asian fans will start to follow man city which means uniteds finances will dwindle even more. I hate to say it but this has been coming.

07 Dec 2011 20:42:31
Actually playing well, that's the frustrating thing. Basel goal was a big blow (since when do head injuries not result in a stop in play by the way??)

Nani started poorly but since his little trick came off he has grow into it.. an arrogant Nani looks much better than a meek, tame Nani I must say..

And well with Vidic we've been lucky so far with injuries so it was bound to happen sooner or later.... wait, hang on.........

We have dominated, just need a fox in the box and Rooney isn't that fox in the box. Welbeck is a must. Nani has been very good, would like to see Young actually try and take on a player like he used too. Vidic has damaged his knee ligaments, hope he has just tweaked them, but I imagine they are torn and we will not see him until February at least.

Good first half, just need to finish the attacks off, what a difference RVP would make to this game.

I've just been outside Melwood, and just intercepted a letter from oul' King Kenny over there...so what else was I to do but open it, eh? Quote:

"Dear Santa Clause,

I have been a good boy this year, and have paid my dues in helping the unwelcomed (one Andrew Carroll) in making a career for themselves, albeit as my horse.

As of this, I believe I am due in line for some prezzies, so...this Christmas I ask for a new Centre-Back for Liverpool Football Club, a new Striker to take the place of Bench Boy Andy and, a new...a new....scrap that just get me the f**k out of here, these lads are sh**e!

Kenny, King of the Kop"

Right - lets look at this from a far without personal feelings and wants in this. What does our team need? Well, arguably a left back, probably the case. A couple of central midfielders for sure, and perhaps a winger and striker depending on departures.

So for Left back, we aren't happy with Evra, but he's done okay sometimes, and is he going to leave? I doubt it, why would SAF give the captain's armband (sometimes) to someone who he wanted to replace? Doesn't make sense to me. If we go for a left back then i'd like a solid one, a German would make sense like Fuchs or Schmelzer. Another left back to add competition makes sense, then Fabio and Rafael fight it out for the RB spot, leaving Smalling and Jones covering the injury prone twins. But, if we didnt go for a left back then maybe a CD would be needed. One will eventually be needed, we're injury prone in defence. One of Rami, Benatia and Subotic would be fantastic - If Ferdinand was to leave.

Midfield - the 'problem area'. Two players in my mind are Rodwell and Kovacec (sp?). Yes, Jones, Carrick, Fletcher can all play a bit deeper for steel, but other than Jones who will be a CB in my eyes, they dont have that strong physique like a Yaya Toure and they certianly aren't going to grow into it. Rodwell would give us a player for now and the future in the Roy Keane mould. Put him alongside Cleverly and you'd have a great partnership and its British. For attacking flair i'd take Kovacic, a couple of years younger than Gotze but will probably be better, he's less well known and favours us over everyone. We've done well in brining in new players, such as Ronaldo and we can mold this kid into what we want.

On the wings, i think that Giggs and Park will soon be out the door, can't say when for sure but it will be the next couple of seasons. And if Valencia doesn't pick up his game then he could be in trouble too, hopefully he will get back to what he was, but who knows... Even with Valencia that would leave us with Young, Nani and him. An extra left footed winger would fit the bill, and for me thats Shaquiri. I'm looking forward to wathching him tonight, if he impresses then a move is probably likely.

Up top, Diouf, Berbatov and Owen will now no longer cut it. Diouf has looked exceedingly poor, Berbatov doesn't fit in our squad and Owen is quality but can't get a game for one reason or another. So with those departures we'd have Rooney, Chicharito, Welbeck, Macheda. Who knows if Macheda will come good, with match sharpness i personally believe that he will, and i really hope that is the case. The striker i'd bring in would be someone mobile with strength, ideally would have been Aguero, but Rossi could be available, as would someone like Higuain who is a good finisher. Moving for someone like that would be good in my opinion. Probably a youngster will be in line so expect bids for one of Gabbadini, Iturbe or E. Torres.

My squad would ideally shape up like this:

GK's: De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos.

Def: Rafael, Fabio, Evra, Schmelzer, Smalling, Jones, Benatia, Vidic, Evans (perhaps Ferdinand).

Mid: Nani, Young, Valencia, Shaqiri, Cleverly, Anderson, Rodwell, Kovacic, Carrick, Fletcher.

Att: Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck, Macheda, Iturbe.

Youngsters: Johnstone, Fryers, Thorpe, Blackett, Morrison, Pogba, Tunniclife, Petrucci, Keane's.

That for me is a young, fresh, mobile and versatile team who could fit into many formations. Its not overly young, you still have the experienced players such as Evra, Vidic, (Ferdinand), Carrick, Fletcher, Rooney etc) to keep the senior/junior balance of the squad.

Thoughts? Im sure there are going to be some criticisms. Interested to hear Syd's view on this ;)

Quite alot of talk about having to get a point, to finish 2nd in the group, tonight. Now I know this may be unlikely but Benfica also have to play and lets not write Otellul off just yet. Its still possible we can win the group. Stranger things have happened.

What i think is, watever formation we play today we are going to win with a good margin with rooney scoring couple of goals.
Wat we needed is a buzz to get our squad in form, and the exit in carling cup did that.
And i would like us to meet a top club in Europe, in the next round.
Hopefully we will have our injured players (Cleverley,Owen,Berbatov) fit for the knock out round.

I dont feel ashamed to expect something good from the team that i support and thats wat make me a United Fan.

Is it me or did Utd miss out badly by not signing Sneijder? From what i see SAF thought, fletcher, carrick, anderson, clevs, pogba, would be enough but now surely after a poor start he will try sign a world class CM, if we want any chance of competing in the UCL and PL.

What are your thoughts Edd?

Should be interesting to see what the FA do with Suarez. Aren't kids watching the tele now?
