Ferguson: "Can't you f*cking take the game? Where's the promised offense?"
I even subbed out Scholes and brought on Solskjaer, and now you're telling me you're backing out?
You have a way out, but I don't, dammit!
The 78th minute.
Manchester United took the opportunity to substitute Veron for Keane.
They were going to go all in with their offense.
Teams that switch from attack to defense on the fly often don't fare well.
Defense is mainly about a change in mentality, not just about having one more player.
Manchester United naturally took control.
In the 81st minute, Ronaldo got a chance for a shot outside the penalty area, but his long shot flew over.
Ronaldo was very annoyed.
In fact, his fitness was struggling to keep up.
He had sprinted out wide too many times today.
If Ferguson had used Forlan to replace Ronaldo earlier and kept van Nistelrooy on, it might have been a better choice.
