well i don't think its up to him lets hope owners do the right thing for once and give rafa 20 mil to spend in jan.

If he can bring in right winger and striker we got a really good chance.

I wanna see dosser , babel , keane gone in jan.

Yes you heard me right babel he had his chance that showing he did vrs arsenal was disgraceful bb babel bb.

The new Henry?

Thought he was a top class talent?

Voted no, although it hurt me to do it.

Obviously we are in a great position so we have our best chance in a long long time.
I just think united have played so many of there toughest fixtures and have kept themselves in a healthy position.
Added to the fact that they know how to put pressure on at the right time of the season and they have a manager and players that have experience in winning it, then it will still be hard.

But get Torres and Skyrtl back fit and who knows, we are top without our second best player for most of the season so we are definately in with a shout.

People on this forum have often talked about negative tactics and poor substitutions, I have been one of them, and i still think it is a potential threat to our title hopes.
But STILL i believe that in some way there is still hope for Rafa to make good positive chances. A good example of this was against Man city earlier in the season, where, by the end of the game if i remember correctly, Rafa subbed both of our full backs off for attacking players, and we were strangely enough shaping up like a 2-4-4. Weird I know, but thats how it was. What happened in that game? 2-0 down and we came back and won 3-2, just like we have done so often this season, but yet again it proves that some positive changes and some more aggressive tactics can help the overall effect

Contradict yourself mate , saying he should go after 2 good back to back games , blackburn and psv . He played poor against arsenal and till rafa does not play him as a striker his career is wasted here , he's got raw talent and he needs to have a consistent run of games in the side before he can be judged based on cameo appearances

The problem of Babel is in his mind, because he has conditions to be a crackin player.

In my opinion, Manure is the major opponent.
Torres back could be decisive, and important too, are mancs not win one or both, the postponed games.

by **Madmax** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 4:05 pm

Will be an interesting 2nd half of the season. I think we will pick up and go to another gear with torres back and hopefully a good striker to aid him. I still feel chelsea will bounce and back see mannue as the main threat. Main probelm for us is if we lose momentum or dont take other teams lost points to our advantage. I think so far this season we have done that four times. We really should be atleast 7 points clear. My heart tells me we will win the league but head says this will be the tightest year ever and the team with experience and bottle will win it. Mannure know what all this is about. Lets just hope they continue to drop few more points.

completely agree,

I have always been one to stand up for Babel but there comes a time when you know that it is just not going to work if you sell these players we could raise some cash to but one world class player that could have a great effect the remainder of the year.

In my eyes we need someone with a very cool footballing brain,maybe a little play maker or a Gary McAllister type figure to give us that extra edge at home
