Manchester United- The Edge of Greatness

Mate, last Sunday was an absolute weston. Still, despite the result its promising that we came away from Stamford Bridge with the much better performance. Just need to start hitting the back of the net now.

Nice results so far man, bad luck against Villa - on Footy Man, I always found they were a bogey team for me (despite United hammering them everytime in RL!XD) and there's no shame that you lost to them, especially at Villa Park.

I decided I'd do a story for Spurs, first time I've ever done anything like that so I'm sure it'll be full of noobish mistakes and beginner's enthusiasm, if you fancy checking it out. Not that I'm shamelessly advertising on your thread <)
 
ill check it out mate, i love stories because they help me in the future, spurs will be good too, try to get top 4 in first season

November Results

Champions League
Man United 1-1 Sporting CP
Last years runners up knew that a point would send them through to the knockout phase, so Hayes fielded a weakened team. Wayne Rooney was in the stands too, officials say he will be back for the home tie against Wolves. To the shock of Old Trafford, Djalo gave Sporting the lead after some poor United defending. Berbatov the cancelled out that goal with a close range header on 14 minutes.
Man United scorer- Berbatov
Sporting CP scorer- Djalo
M.O.M-Polga

Premier League
Sunderland 0-2 Man United
An impressive performance from the champions. United's two goals both came from penalties, the first slotted home by Ronaldo then late on by Hamsik, after Gordon saved the initial effort.
Man United scorers-Ronaldo,Hamsik
M.O.M- Rio Ferdinand


Man United 0-0 Wolves
Wayne Rooney's return wasnt enough

Rio named M.O.M.....no other comments

Champions League
Rubin Kazan 2-3 Man United
Hayes chose a much weaker defence here, and it showed. Fabio, the young Brazilian right-back was at fault for the first two goals of the game. Which came through Bukharov and Dominguez respectively. Berbatov netted jsut before the break with a cheeky lob over the keeper. The second half was a steller performance from the Reds, Hamsik scoring a penalty then Rooney hitting a 25 yard drive home just 3 minutes later. Hayes will be worried about the shaky defending though....

Premier League
Blackburn R 0-2 Man United
A very efficient performance here from Hayes' men. His tactics were spot on. Berbatov and Hamsik again on the scoresheet in the opening 10 minutes, it could and should have been much much more.


  • Drew Northampton away in FA Cup
  • Liverpool did not reach the last 16 of Champions League

Here's how things look in the league....

And Liverpool..a strange sense of inevitability no?

December Results

A very busy month for Hayes' troops, 8 games in 4 weeks, including home games against Spurs and Liverpool and a tricky away tie to Man City

Premier League
Man United 2-0 Tottenham
A very controlled win from United here,as Spurs rarely threatened the goal. The match was still young when Wayne Rooney popped up to score a fine header within 5 minutes of the start. It was late on however when United sealed victory with ex-Tottenham start Dimitar Berbatov scoring a close range goal. Results elsewhere meant United moved upto 2nd in the league

Champions League
Man United 3-1 AZ
Having already won their group, hayes decieded to field a much weakened starting XI, giving Ronaldo and Owen the chanve to show their worth. El Hamadoui gave AZ the schock lead after just 5 minutes. Jonny Evans equalised with a fantastic volley from a Giggs corner. Ronaldo had United up 2-1 just 10 minutes later. Owen then sealed victory late on with a lovely curling effort.

Premier League
Fulham 2-4 Man United
A fantastic tactical setup is how United ground out their win here, Hayes deceiding to play a narrow 4-3-1-2 formation. After just 30 minutes United were up 3-0 through Ferdinand,Hamsik and Berbatov. United old-boy Erik Nevland gave Fulham a glimmer of hope on 54 minutes but David Silva secured the win with a superb strike 15 minutes later, his first goal this season. Brede Hangeland popped up on 72 minutes to score a consolation.
Man United scorers-Ferdinand,Hamsik,Berbatov,Silva

M.O.M-Silva(1 goal,3 assists)

Man United 3-0 Birmingham
A very easy game here,Birmingham were just not able to cope with United. Two early goals from Rooney and Ronaldo, added to again by Rooney on 75 minutes enough to grab all 3 points.

Tommy Hayes has stated that he will always consider Liverpool to be the biggest game of the year. ''They are our biggest rivals, there is nothing sweeter than beating your rivals'' he said.
Match Analysis
Everyone was expecting a tight affair here, nothing could have been further from the truth. Tacticaly Liverpool and Rafa Benitez were outclassed. Wayne Rooney's exceptional performance was rewarded with two outstanding strikes from the Liverpool born man, one just before half time, and the other late on, when Liverpool were chasing the game
Result:
Man United 2-0 Liverpool
Rooney 36,90
M.O.M-Rooney

might consider getting a new RB.....Zapata seems to be the man, quite expensive though. Any ideas?
 
Zapata would be worth the money though, well, he was immense on fm 09!

 
ya I pretty much signed him for every team in 09
But it was for £12m at most, their looking for £19m now
Might offload Brown or O Shea or something
