Man Utd show "spirit of 99"

[revol68]

did I say you had complained about injuries ?



So what your saying is Ferguson hasn't got the right players to suit the tactics needed for dealing with Milan at home



but that is bad tactics . Tactics don't just come down to how you play , it's all down to who you use to play that formation as well .
I know it's a tenuous link but I do believe that tactics go beyond formation etc. and into things like training regimes/players bought for the squad . And if you use that as your definition of what tactics are then it's exactly what we were discussing



I was agreeing with you . Utd don't have the midfield to suit the tactics needed to play Milan , as I said earlier that is a tactical mistake made by ferguson albeit a very long term mistake it's still a tactical decision he has made when he chooses players to buy .

Except that could be labelled macro tactics whilst we were arguing over the micro tactics of that one game. Tactics for me is making the most of what you've got.

No I'd expect the roma fans to be going there maybe expecting a tight game and maybe holding utd to a 1-1 draw or a 1 goal win .

so me predicting 2-2 against a Milan side who hadn't looked that hot up until last night was cocky?

Fair enough , I do actually agree with you , there are short and long term tactical decisions , I was refering to the long term when clearly you weren't

yeah because tarannau was claiming Fergies tactics on the night fucked it up, whilst I just accepted that the Milan performance was too strong for the utd team. Incredibly he then accused me of making excuses.

Actually I don't think it was , but thats just my opinion , you were having that argument with bazza I just decided to chip in I was expecting a 2-1 Milan win , in hindsight I guess it would be cocky for you to say 2-2 but since you didn't know how crap your midfield would be before the game I think your prediction was a fairly sensible one !

to be honest our midfield wasn't crap, it just couldn't deal with Milans performance, our defence was however shite, but that I expected from the start.

showing that other supporters obsession with Man Utd extends even to their supporters posts.

p.s. regarding Tarannau's posts, you didn't miss much.
