It should make for an gripping 2nd leg. MU are skating on thin ice but they are capable of turning it around.

yeah, agree. i don't think this tie is over yet at all.

Considering the awful abject performance, a great result that. Deserved to lose by more. They should really have put the game to bed. As it is, two down at half time, still all there to play for.

Three weeks for us to learn how to play football again.

Got to give it to you rix, your glass is always half full
Well indeed Bob. And why not. More than enough people doing an excellent job of dwelling on the many negatives. May as well focus on the few positives. Another of which is, given the job some teams have of having to score three goals without reply away from home, in Germany and Spain, scoring two goals at home against a Greek side... well, not easy, judging from last night, but still, eminently doable. And if we do succeed in turning it around, last night can and will quickly be forgotten, because it really won't mean a lot, will it.

I'll definitely be tuning in for the second leg. It is a match that could say a lot about the character of this team and where they are at as a unit.

Oh dear, I don't think this will endear him to his team mates...

Van Persie wasted a good chance to score a vital away goal at the end of the match as the Dutchman put in an uncharacteristically poor display.

The former Arsenal striker, speaking to Dutch broadcaster NOS after the match, said that his cause was not helped by the positioning of some of his team-mates.
"It was quite difficult because my team-mates are often in the area where I want to play," the United striker said.
"That's why I have to change my tactics. Unfortunately, they are often in my area.

That can't be right. I thought all players dreamed of playing at United, not one mercenary among them. Throw them a packet of peanuts and they will stay for their love of the club. :-)

"Bros" managing United….surely he wouldn't want to step in this summer, unless of course they unleash the pounds like City did.

They are going to unleash the pounds. Thing is, would you want Moyes to be the one spending it?

Anyway, its not about new signings now at United. That team is totally demoralised, they lost their win mentality and need firm leadership from a manager whose tactical acumen they respect. David Moyes doesn't tick any of those boxes.

This second leg against Olympiakos is going to really test that theory, or then again it might night not…..it's 3 days after they play Liverpool.

I wouldn't want Moyes speeding that cash and I don't know if I'd want Gary Neville as other than talking a good game he has not proven anything yet.

Going to be a very interesting summer to watch this saga unfold…..a bucket of cash, no CL, perhaps a new manager and apparently no decent scouts

World class players probably won't sign without CL football and if you are not in it its much more difficult making quality signings, and in United's case the retirement of ferguson doesn't help. Young players would go to United to learn from him knowing he would probably make them a better player. Ronaldo might well agree with that.

I expect United to come out fighting against Liverpool and Olympiaicos. Anything other than 100% commitment, pressing, chasing down the ball, big tackles, keeping possession (which was pathetic in the 1st leg), anything else is unacceptable and march could well be the defining month for David Moyes. If he gets that reaction from his players he has something to build on. If he doesn't he's finished because he's clearly lost the dressing room.

Forwards: Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC),

That didn't take long.

Roy must have loved that one premier league goal JD scored this season that earn't him a place in the squad.

Or was it a prolific two goals?

So sad that Roy has not taken the opportunity to blood more youngsters for a competition we are unlikely to progress in past the group stage.

Totally agree. We should be using this World Cup purely to give the boys of the future the experience they'll need for Euro 2016

Belgium. Dark horses in Brazil.

As for Moyes......the wheels had fallen off before he took over. SAF knew.

The exact opposite of 'stability' was required.

Easy with hindsight eh, more than halfway through the season?

Good point about the opposite of stability being required. i think this is something that most of the United following just hasn't grasped.

The point is this....there was no stability as such under Ferguson. He wouldn't allow it. No ones job was safe and thats what kept dragging his teams through. And every now and again a big name player was disposed of just to remind everyone else that no ones dispensable.

All this stability, six year contract crap is one massive error of judgement. Why give a manager a six year contract? Not necessary. Why did Ferguson pick Moyes?

Stability wins nothing.

This is brilliant. I never imagined when SAF went it would be so much fun. Even the Greeks are coming out and taking the pish out of you on here. Efxaristo filos (sp). Wonder what Greek is for "decline" laugh.pnglaugh.png
