ministryofMP3 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 FC Copenhagen 1-0 Man Utd http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=205487&cc=3888 "Requiring victory to be mathematically certain of reaching the last 16 but knowing a draw would realistically put his side through, Sir Alex Ferguson opted to make six changes to the side which beat Bolton 4-0 in the Barclays Premiership on Saturday. Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Louis Saha were already out, while Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra were left on the bench in an effort to spread the load of matches right across his squad." ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 well, their loss was due to the poor pitch, bad weather and the sunspot
ministryofMP3 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Next up Celtic vs Manure. Wonderful opportunity for Gordon Strachan to put one over his former coach at Aberdeen & Manure, Slur Alex. Afterall Slur Alex isn't too enamor with Strachan as revealed in the latter's autobiography. Yummy ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 http://www.noticias.info/asp/aspComunicados.asp?nid=236461&src=0 Rotation, and the new 'Tinkerman' What I don't get is that going into last weekend's fixtures, Benítez had made only one change more than Alex Ferguson in the Premiership: 30, to 29. Chelsea were the third-most rotated team. So rotation, as a concept, doesn't work? Hmm... Meanwhile, Arsenal kept the same team as the weekend before, and dropped two more points at home. No one blamed it on having a settled side. But why should they? Another irritant is that rotation has been heavily criticised after Liverpool defeats this season – but the '99 games since last unchanged line-up' got brought up as a criticism too, as if it was been a problem for 99 games. Which, clearly, is insane. Why did no one actually bother to look at the results over those 99 games? (full article - Debunking the tiresome LFC myths)
