C& P from ESPN Soccernet

"Marseille and Manchester United played with similar tactical plans (4-2-3-1) on the following night 200 miles south. While it's necessary to acknowledge the amount of injuries in the United midfield, a central trio comprised of a pair of sitters in Carrick and Fletcher and Darron Gibson roaming in front didn't convince us of a team who had gone to the south of France looking for the result which would finish the tie."

SAF should have more confidence in his defense and be more adventurous against teams like Marseille. What would it have cost us if we had won 2-1 or been beaten 2-1, or even drawn 1-1? A nil nil score is a dangerous one when the other team gets a goal at OT and pack the bus!

We need creative mid-fielders in Summer, retain Park, Anderson and Fletcher and do away with Carrick, Gibson and the ever unrealiable, should stay injured Evans. O'Shea can be substituting Rafael for now. The likes of Modric (and other)should be easy pickings if Spurs don't make it for another CL campaign.
