Carling Cup

Wow, is that what is being debated? :p

Point is, it was Blackburn's 1st team, and a mixture of United's reserves and youth team. As it shoud be.

There was no youth team players on the pitch..
 
More than half of the team were first team players! LoL

I feel pretty confident knowing if Barca were to draw United - it would be a walk in the park ;)
 
Ben Foster
Rafael
Gary Neville
Jonathan Evans
John O'Shea
Nani
Darron Gibson
Rodrigo Possebon
Anderson
Ryan Giggs
Carlos Tevez

I'd still classify Foster as a second team player and Anderson as a first team player so that leaves 5 second team players and 6 first team players.
 
Average age of the Arsenal's calring cup team - 19
Average age of manchester's carling cup team - 24 (most teams are close to this normaly)
 
Yeah I know but I was refering to the Carling Cup team United played and the age was obviouslr brought up by Neville and Gigs who are both in their mid 30's. Every team have their old er players.

Ya but even with out them their are a few who are mid-late 20s, which in football terms is not young.
 
If they weren't United would've just been knocked out :/

Who cares? I've never liked this phony cup. It's a waste of time and I'm amazed why United seem to be interested in it. We played crap last night. They should've started with a proper team. Nani and Anderson are pathetic. We played much better in the last 20 minutes when Ronaldo, Rooney and Carrick came on.
 
lol Loving the "we didnt play with a strong team" "this cup is crap".

United started Vidic, O'Shea, Anderson, Scholes,Nani and Tevez on the pitch and then brought on Ronaldo and Rooney....

One of those players probably costs the same as the whole derby team.
 
If I'm correct Ferguson generally maintains a policy of youngsters for the Carling Cup... I guess bringing on Ronaldo, rooney and carrick was out of desperation

The commentator said in the 75th minute.

''WoW, this is quite a team United have on the pitch at the moment''

Vidic, O'Shea, Anderson, Scholes,Nani, Rafael - bringing on Carrick, Rooney and Ronaldo.

That looks like the 1st team. Well 9 first team players. Still cant believe United lost to Derby - a team that is struggling in the Championship. Whatever excuses come from the Man camp - the bottom line is they played pathetic. Even Terry Paine and the entire studio said that was a very very poor performance, not only the team but individual performances.

Dont make excuses, face facts.
