    I reckon Olympiakos would have done a few extra practice sessions on penalties after watching our game on Sunday :biggrin:

    Utd apart from the first leg in Greece have done well in the CL this season, I reckon you'll do the business in the 2nd leg and go through Shergar.

    I think the fact the Greeks are so bad away from home, gives us a chance. We really need to score in the first half hour to get them panicking. The longer the game stays 0-0 the more settled and comfortable they will get:biggrin:

    Its time for Moyes to take the defensive shackles off Utd if he seriously wants to keep his job, its his negativity that's cost you games this season.
    He reckons he speaks to Fergie every day and you'd expect him to tell Moyes to go for the jugular from the off.

    I don't think that is the case. Take the game against your lot on Sunday, the reason you guys were all over us for long periods, is because Moyes tactics where to attacking. He had 2 upfront with 2 wingers in Mata and Januzaj who don't track back, so we were left exposed as Fellaini and Carrick could not cover the whole midfield, they needed some more help. We used those tactics in wins against WBA and Crystal Palace, and they won us the game, but against better sides you need to show them more respect. You can't always play with 2 wingers and 2 strikers. Unless you have wingers of the James Milner mould who are prepared to put a shift in tracking back. I have never been Welbecks biggest fan as a striker, but Moyes should have brought him on earlier for either Mata or Januzaj to play wide, as he will get back and defend, and he has the energy and pace to give the opposition a lot less time on the ball.

    SAF used to play the 442 with 2 wingers, but he used to use wingers that would put a shift in. Even when we had Ronaldo, he used to stick Rooney out wide in the big games and play Ronaldo up top, as he knew Ronaldo was to much of a liability on the wing, as he wouldn't track back like Rooney would:biggrin:

    No but its sad you lot want us to win just because you want Moyes to continue as our manager.

    It's all about #savedave - this comes at any cost.

    I think you'll go through personally, but then think one of the big boys will absolutely smash you. So #savedave could turn into <wah>
