Man United vs Roma

[phantomdj]

i'm sorry but no way did roma look inferior in that game... they looked like the home side. nick hit the nail on the head. very poor game from united and you do wonder why they lack confidence or any real steel. it was only when they managed to score a goal that they started to come out more and even then roma had the edge at the end also. roma had chance after chance and some very good ones at that.

it was a blatant penalty for roma, his legs were taken, no where near the ball and everyone watching it with me was in shock that no penalty was given. if it were the other way round all the manc fans and fergie would have been ranting for an age.

nani does have some skill and in small doses you saw some great skill from individual man utd players, but roma certainly were very unlucky to lose.

yeh i agree it was a pen carrick was a lucky man ... i wouldnt say ver all they were the better side they came to defend 1 upfront and 2 holding players in front of the back 4 says a lot for the CL

apart from the first 15 minutes and a couple of scary moments in the 2nd half, I thought Utd looked the better team.
like I said, Roma actually fashioned more chances, but Utd's paaing and movement was far superior.
considering that's the best team Utd have played against so far this season (by a country mile), I think they did ok, and deserved the 3 points.
were definitely lucky with the pen, but then as Utd found against the rent boys the other week, when Cole's blatant foul on Evre in the box went unpunished, some go for you, some go against you.
can't think of anyone who actually had a bad game, saha was dissapointing at times, seemed to drift out of the game for some reason, but got replaced by Big Carloth anyway.
Roma found their way past our midfield too easily, and O'Shea is clearly not in the same class as Wes Brown (not news to anyone that though), but overall, it was a good team performance.
Nani looks better than Ronaldo did at the same age, which gives Utd fans something to get very excited about, imo.
