Manchester United 3-3 CSKA Moscow: Match Observations

ManUtd24 04 November @ 12:08 PM EST

Manchester United went into yesterday's game against CSKA Moscow needing a point which was achieved but as usual it was done the hard way and once again the problems in the defence were apparent, and it was this problem which nearly led to an embarrassing defeat.

You cannot fault United's determination when they were 3-1 down, something which paid off, but while you can give credit to the midfielders and forwards for their tenacity, the defence was again, unfortunately, the problem.

EPL Week 9: A Look Back

Soccer By Ives 26 October @ 11:25 AM EST


By TRAVIS CLARK

It was all or nothing for Rafa Benitez and Liverpool on Saturday. While a loss wouldn't officially knock them out of the title race, it would be the club's fifth loss in a row and continue to undermine Benitez's job status.

However, Fernando Torres was passed fit, and his presence in the starting lineup was welcome considering captain Steven Gerrard was injured.

Let’s Not Be Drastic, But That Was Appalling

Blog United 25 October @ 01:44 PM EST

Yes the ref was lousy, but don't let that mask what was a terrible performance across the pitch by what could only bee described as a toothless United team at Anfield on Sunday. The final score of 2 – 0 didn't flatter the home team as they notched up their third win in a row between the local rivals.

Liverpool 2-0 Man United: Vindication For Rafa Benitez

EPL Talk 25 October @ 12:20 PM EST

It's been a week of hell for the players and supporters of Liverpool Football Club, but a much deserved 2-0 win against their arch-enemy Manchester United Sunday will remove the gloom and doom on Merseyside and offer Rafael Benitez vindication as a football manager.

Simply put, Liverpool were deserved winners in this game.

Akinfeev: United Are A Great Club

Republik Of Mancunia 22 October @ 09:09 AM EST

In the summer, Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin tipped us off to Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, with Edwin Van der Sar not getting any younger and Ben Foster battling injury.

Ahead of our match against Akinfeev's team, CSKA Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether he was interested in signing the keeper.

Problems for Foster as van der Sar returns.

Manchester United Dugout 14 October @ 10:49 PM EST
Ben Foster is facing a hell of a time at Manchester United right now. After enduring a turbulent few weeks at Old Trafford, he is currently recovering form a chest problem. And the return of Edwin van der Sar only make things even more sour for him. Foster has been guarding the United goal ever since van der Sar injured his fingers during a pre-season match with Bayern Munich. Click to continue reading...

RoM Reaction To Sunderland Draw

Republik Of Mancunia 04 October @ 08:00 AM EST

It's funny to read in the press and from United fans on the blog that Sunderland were robbed of three points yesterday not because I don't think United were dreadful, because we were, but because Sunderland didn't really do anything. I think Steve Bruce set up his team brilliantly and was very impressed that they didn't park the bus, but despite us passing to them every other pass, they only saw 37% of the ball and only had three attempts on goal all match, one of which that should have been struck off for a foul on the keeper.

Foster: I Was Made To Face Up To City Mistakes

Republik Of Mancunia 28 September @ 06:42 AM EST

Ben Foster had a nightmare during the derby and sections of the press claimed he was going to be dropped for our next Premiership game.

Ferguson rightly stuck by Foster though and the keeper picked up a clean sheet in our 2-0 victory over Stoke. Foster didn't have a lot to do but looked more composed and confident than the weekend before.

Stoke City vs Manchester United: Preview

Red Rants 26 September @ 01:27 AM EST

Having edged into the fourth round of the Carling Cup, albeit with an ultimately monotonous performance, the Premier League returns for United on Saturday and a somewhat tricky trip to the Britannia Stadium awaits.

Stoke have started the season in a pretty decent fashion having picked up seven points already and been extremely unfortunate not to have come away with something more last weekend against Bolton and previously against Chelsea too.

Manchester United vs Wolves: Preview

I'm sure many of us are still riding high on the peak of cloud nine following the last gasp events of Sunday afternoon and who in their right mind can blame us! In fairness, you could even be forgiven for allowing this evening's fixture against Wolves to have slipped the mind and altogether dipped off the radar.

Devils Done? Can Utd win with this defense?

EPL Talk 22 September @ 06:27 PM EST

Gary Neville thinking to himself about how crap and old he is

This time last year Manchester United were starting to put together one of the finest stretches of defensive football ever scene in the English Premier League. But one year later, with a similar defensive cast, they seem exposed, shaky and generally lacking around their own goal.

Giggs shines in magnificent derby madness: Taxi for Ferdinand and Foster?

A Kick in the Grass 20 September @ 12:38 PM EST
Message to Rio Ferdinand and Ben Foster: You are playing for your futures as Manchester United players because today you were both a total disgrace. As far as Foster is concerned, even before today's derby howler, I think Fergie might well have decided that he will not be United's long-term replacement for Edwin van der Sarr.

Foster ‘Well Up’ For City Clash

Blog United 16 September @ 09:10 AM EST

Ben Foster is looking forward to his first derby day on Sunday and insists he and his United teammates are ‘well up for it'.

Foster has impressed following a run of games in the first team as the 24 year old stands in for injured Edwin van der Sar. He has played in all six of United's competitive fixtures this season, conceding just two goals in the process and pulling off a host of top draw saves.
