Leeds v Manchester United, League Cup 3rd Round

We've decided to give Leeds a chance by finishing the game with 10 men

Our back 4 is Fabio, Carrick, Berbatov and Valencia

 

Good to see you're all gracious in victory. Fair play to Fergie for loading the team with goalscorers when we have the worst defence in the Championship. Crowing that your multimillion pound team has put the scraps that Grayson has assembled to the sword isn't very classy though. Do you know how much Grayson was allowed to spend in the off season? Nothing. So this is the result.

 

So we're supposed to be gracious in victory having had to listen to all the ****ing bull**** from your pathetic fans

We're playing a team of reserves and kids with a central midfielder, a winger and a striker in our back 4 and we're still outlcassing your ****ing **** team.

 

Getting your excuses in? Your lot were wrongly giving it the big'un and will now much like you will cry about us being ungracious in victory.

3 words. Deal with it.

 

so easy in the end......bates your a hero..

 

I think Man Utd have had more difficult training sessions than this.

 

We found our new O'Shea....Berbatov!

 

Well at least we were 2.66 times better than Arsenal

 

That's not much to brag about

 

Leeds gave it a real go in the first half and for parts were the better side. A similar story though with United is we took the chances we got and thats the important bit.

Second half and 3-0 down Leeds were obviously looking ahead to Friday and United took it as more of a training match.

Pogba looked decent and I was impressed by the little lad Cole when he came on. All 3 of our youngsters were good tonight so very happy with that. All in all the perfect night for Manchester United.

until next time Leeds.

 

Good performance by United.

 

Now you can **** off back to the woodwork.

You can take your Beckford video with you to help aid the pain.

 

Well done Man Who you were far the better side. I stiil think the majority of your fans are arrogant coming on before a ball is kicked and bragging 8-0 etc. Maybe we were watching the game hence no replies, does that make sense to you. Anyway once again it pains me to say well done

 

Cheers UIR. A bit more respectful than some of the cr&p written by others on here

 

Pogba, I like. Good long range passing and he didn't let the occasion overwhelm him. I think he likes quick passing because every time he was gesturing for the ball to be passed back or where he wanted it passed. Love that he passes with one touches and moves on. Hope to see more of him Looks quite strong

Owen, class as expected when fit.
Cole, seems pacy, to bad we didn't see more of his crossing range.
Berba and Carrick playing in the same position as Rio and Vida and not conceding = Gold stuff
Giggs, he'll still be tearing apart defenders at 50.
Scholes, loved seeing the label coach next to his name
Valencia is actually a decent defender, I know the word was Nani should have started the CL final but I can see why Valencia was in: better defending abilities.
Diouf and Macheda, strikers who didn't do bad as wingers on the night. Diouf performed better with a cool recovery turned into assist. Diouf defended better whereas Macheda was rusty losing possession a few times.
Amos, he wasn't really tested tonight but he is the next generation


Leeds were the standard you expect of a division 2 team but expected more to be honest. Hyped after last time's FA cup win but in the end a laid back performance by a setup we will never see again was enough to see a comfortable victory.

P.S Why the empty seats? Was it too expensive?

 

Cheers shwan, but with Papa Smurf in charge it wont be anytime soon unfortunatly. It is missed the clash of the roses on a regular basis. I can only dream.

 

All respect Shwan but you are either taking the piss or on crack.

Unless there's big changes at least I think it's far from sure they will reach the EPL in 2-3 seasons

 

Didn't they get to the playoffs last season? I don't think its beyond them to do that again.

 

This. Can't believe there are still some Leeds fans claiming our owners are as bad as Bates. Hmm...four league titles and an EC in seven years, or the bloke who put the club into administration, only to buy it back and proceed to sell off all the best players and replace them with freebies. It's like the Liverpool fans banging on about Utd's debt back in 2010 when their club was near bankruptcy and being sold off by a bank that was itself bankrupt and owned by the government

I actually feel a bit sorry for Leeds fans - as long as Bates is their "controlling shareholder", any time they get close to a return to the PL you can guarantee he'll immediately cash in on all the players that get them there, trading a few million quid for another season in the Championship.
