Manchester United prove the Premier League is better than Serie A

If you thought the game against Roma was a cakewalk you need to have you eyes examined. Roma dominated the game entirely for all but the final 2o minutes, when they had completely had the wind taken out of their sails by two goals totally against the run of play. It was daylight robbery that United managed to walk away with a win, and it was only the most outrageous good fortune, and some good keeping, that kept them in it. Roma has every right to be wandering how they could have lost when they so thoroughly dominated the match. I say all that as a die hard United of forty years standing. It's one thing to be a staunch supporter, another to be completely blinded to reality. United were dead lucky, and should take a serious look at their performance if they really want to take the championship out. Barcelona, even as poorly as they're playing at the moment, won't let them get away with such a poor showing in the next phase.

howbadly wrong you are, youmy friend are blinded by the dazzling displays at the theatre of dreams, we play 4-4-2 in the premier league and dominate play, however SAF has now grown wise to the continental game, he went with a 4-5-1 and intended to hit the on the counter attack. which is exactly what we did, are stone wall defence soaked up all the presure, and we hit them with two goals when the commited them selves, i think they got one shot on target, the ball went past the 6 yard box 2 times but with the nearest player 30 yards away, we have not lost yet in the champions league thanks to this set up, you cant expect us to destroy a team like roma, its more like cat and mouse and saf proved him self the master tuesday night

all i will say to man utd is that is like our strikers are getting weak

Craig When you can actually manage to write something coherent and reasonably intelligent in English get back to me. One little point. The team does not play 4-4-2 as some fixed sort of credo in the Premiership. Formations change from week to week to suit the opposition. 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, etc. Try watching a few games and learn something, instead of waxing rhapsodic in your fractured English.

I assume that if you answer this comment, you will put that arrogance away, where it belongs. I suppose it wasn't the best perfomance by us, but let me remind you what happened exactly a year ago. We tried to play roma, tried to force them out of the game by playing our own 4-4-2. We were miserable. We lost 2-1 and were lucky that Rooney helped us with a little peice of magic. I thought that the perfomance was absolutely what was needed. And except for a few shaky minutes in 2nd half, we looked very strong. And roma, for a home team in the CL, were shockingly bad. Don't know what game you saw, but what they did was exactly what Sir Alex wanted + we won 2-0. And by the way. It doesn't really take a genius to figure out that the Premier League is a couple of levels above everything else .

I know that As Roma is going to win when they use the fomation 5 3 2 of the ACMillans

The Premier League is the best but why do ya all have to keep on harping on about it? Clearly the Serie A has been the best league in the world the last 20 years and who are the WORLD CHAMPIONS? yeh ITALY!!!!! this is a basless argument and u all need to get a life. basically its just dowmn to pwersonal opinion and to harp onto all u englishmen out there AC MILAN who came 4th last season with one player carrying around 10 grandmas and beating United and Liverpool well then. . . yeh no need to explain. its just personal opinoiin and it comes down to the match itslef and not form and so on. cheers bouysh

Manchester United must sign another striker to create unpredictability against opponents. In Mauro Zarate Of Birminghan Club has a player who moves like MESSI and defines like TORRES. Pay attention to this kid.

Without Totti having played, A S Roma was at a supreme disadvantage. What true satisfaction could there be beating a wounded tiger?

I thought there were 20 teams in the premier league, not just Manchester united. I said it before and will say it again, the reason the premiership is the best league in the world is because of the style of play. The end to end action and passion is what makes a league, one team doesn't.

I think we rode our luck against Roma in the olympic stadium. They were woeful in the return leg though. As for the Prem being the best in the world, well that is of course debatable. I would certainly say that it is better than the Italian league at the Moment. Yes Italy won the world cup, but thats a different kettle of fish. No one is saying English players are the best in the world (well not me anyway) but our league is made up of many foreign players who have improved the game immesurably, at least technically. The fact that United, Liverpool ,Arsenal and Chelsea made it to the Quarters speaks volumes of our league standing in european football. Also Liverpool beat Inter easily and Arsenal beat Milan. There is only Barcelona to stand in the way of an all English club final. So for me the prem has to be the best in Europe at least. And that is an accolade to all the teams in it.

im sorry but i find the itallian league much more intrestng, itallian passion for football is un matched it was a bad year for itallian football last year. but this year the englis teams will be put in their place
