It was the wrong team to play its fact if he gave maybe­ 3 youngsters a chance ok but nearly the whole team were­ the acadamy it just shows how far Man Utd are ahead­ when it comes to the youth system i never see­ littlepool or chelski giving youth a chance that is why­ Man Utd will dominate for years to come take a look at­ littlepool can anyone name a youth player in his teens­ that has being playing for them this season i can think­ of one and he is not good el zoro littlepool should be­ called spainishpool muck and now chelski they only play­ old men.So in my opinon MAN UTD and ARSENAL will­ dominate english football for a long time.

4 man u fan yu cn lost meet spurs...hahahahahaha

some may see it as a lack of respect but look at some­ results. spurs against shaktar got a draw (i think),­ sir alex didnt exactly play a bad side, if it were a­ league match, it would be a draw. i think danny has a­ point tho, if the manager wants to, he can...

well like yeh he does have a right to play young­ players...................WHEN HES PRETTY CONFIDENT HIS­ TEAM ARE GOING TO WIN THE GAME! right thats my small­ rant over

yeah, he focuses a bit too much on preventing Liverpool­ from winning the premier league that he doesn't­ care what he loses in the meantime. I agree that the­ young uns' held off an okay team of Everton's­ but against a better team like Liverpool or Chelsea­ they would have been sluaghtered.

Of course, repected Ferguson has all the right to use­ and give the chance to a second grade team as Wenger­ did some time back in certain cup matches.
But my qualm­ is that when he critices Benitez for the latter'­ remark on Everton, I'm just asking myself whether­ Mr. Ferguson is not acting same when sending on the­ field for a semi-final youngters against "small­ team Everton".
Your comments are most­ welcome.

yeah people forget that this 'young team'­ matched Everton for 120 minutes. They didn't lose­ because the team didn't play well during the game.­ It was just Everton's day and I think United could­ still have lost even with their strongest squad. You­ never know in cup games especially at this stage and­ Everton just seemed destined to get to final this year.­ As a neutral I was happy to see Everton win and really­ hope they beat Chelskis but I wouldn't fault­ Ferguson at all.

am abit sad manu lost the game against everton,but i­ still cant believe that everton senior players couldnt­ score a goal against the youngsters. that is to show­ that only on penalty kick they could only beat those­ youngsters. I admire SAF for playing the youngsters­ against one of the big club players. manu 4 ever.

for what i think, i alrdy expect fergie to play 2nd­ team. Due to champion n BPL pressure, this wo cup is­ more bigger than FA cup..n is more tougher to get to­ this stage.So i think for any of the manager will do­ the same thing to have their player rest. for a normal­ soccer street game any who play n rest only 3day­ con't for a year...any human leg will feel tired. N­ this is BPL is not a street soccer

MR MURPHY did not pay £35 for a ticket nor £25 to get­ there and £30 on beer , but if utd win the prem and­ champs lge the red army will not care two hoots

well it's sure lot better than parkers article.. gg­ :)

danny murphy must have watched a different game to the­ one i saw if he thought that M U were unlucky to loose­ i personaly thought it was the most boring semi final i­ have ever seen and i have seen a hell of a lot more­ than danny murphy has i have seen semi finals from the­ thirties and saturday's game the shots the goal­ keepers saved you could count for both sides on one­ hand and still have fingers left over

If a prem team play a non-league team in the FA Cup, it­ is expected that the prem team will not field their­ strongest 11. And so it follows that the better the­ opposition, the greater the risk of not fielding your­ strongest team. Whether its seen as a lack of respect­ or a calculated risk depends on the relative strengths­ of both sides. The Champions of Europe and the EPL, who­ are prioritising the defence of both of those titles­ ahead of the FA Cup, have every right to take­ calculated risks. Clearly, whether this was calculated­ risk or lack of respect, it didn't pay off.

SAF­ has at least invited accusations that he showed a lack­ of respect to Everton, the greatest domestic cup­ competition in sport and the travelling MU fans paying­ big money to see big players on a big occassion. All in­ the week after he slates Rafa for a lack of­ respect.

The point being, shut your mouth SAF.

i wud have rather played a 15 r 16 year old den­ berbatov because he couldnt bother his hole makin an­ effort for the best team in the world and for what he­ did for man united yesterday he shud be let go straight­ away!!!

DOES YOU DOES OR DOES YOU DONT SMOKE HASHEESH

Well done Danny Murphy! Its so refreshing to see an­ unbiased view from an ex Liverpool player or­ supporter(especially after listening to Jim­ Beglin's biased tripe on TV the other night)I agree­ that Man Utd looked the better team over the 120 min­ and if they had won the penalties, everyone would be­ singing SAF's praises. Weel done Everton though and­ hopefully they will win it and i say that with no­ disrespect to Chelsea intended.

If berbatov thinks he's better than macheda then he­ should stop thinking altogether. He's a top flop.­ Twenty eight years and not able to nick a penalty?­ After playing some farmer's role he thinks he's­ better than tim howard....he should be ashamed of­ himself and he should see more of the stands next­ season when campbel comes home.
