He may be considered more mature than Ronaldo at the time of his arrival, but I never saw Ronaldo go down half as theatrically as Nani. Every time he goes down, he convulses of sorts. This happened in one of our last games, where he was down for five minutes rolling around, twitching on the ground. Jeez!
Nah, for Scholes. Drop Giggs into a true midfield role. I'm another who's afraid he'll be sent off if not subbed off.
1st half analysis: VDS- Nothing to do really, good take down on crosses though Brown- Solid definsivley, not going forward enough Vida- Brilliant at the back! nothing past him. Ferdinand- very quite Silveste- feel bad for him Evra- Our best player imo. all Attacks went through him. glad to see him back at LB though Scholes/Carrick- Quite Ronaldo- Very disappointed. His season did not start yet!! Giggs- nothing to say good or bad. Tevez- Very good link up, but none really effective because we are lacking a good striking partner for him. A lot of out passes seem to just get caught by the first line of defense! We are not clicking enough. Both teams are not dangerous enough. We should be seeing Saha immidietly after the break, but knowing Fergie he will wait about 60+ imo Giggs needs to come off and directly be replaced with Saha. why the hell is my stream switched to the Scouser game?!?!?
Why isn't Saha playing? Why were there 5 defenders on the field before Silvestre got injured? (I woke up late.)
damn, i had a lot of trouble with the damn streams, but i think i got it working. sounds like a pretty lackluster half, is that accurate?
I'd rather risk Scholes' being sent off than leaving CM positions to Giggs and Carrick, to be honest.
Ya I might considering dropping Scholes also. Bring on Pique for DM role and put Carrick as attacking mid. Giggs out, Saha on. Fergie dont have the balls to do that though, especially after the "incident"
I remember it. Fergie will sort him out... Holy Crap, they're torturing our squad by blasting Avril Levigne during halftime!
I'm the fanboy? You're the one who keeps repeating the same line like a damn robot. "I have yet to see Tevez beat a defender one on one" "Why can't he beat defenders?" "Why isn't he beating defenders?" Wtf? Why don't you acknowledge how improved he's looked so far with his passes or his overall play? How often has he been one on one with a defender? How many times do I have explain things to you? You're talking out your ass, and it's annoying as hell. We all know we need Saha out there, but when you keep bitching all the time with the same annoying complaint that doesn't even make sense you just sound annoying.
Decent enough first half overall. But DAMN Paul Scholes should NEVER EVER EVER EVER be allowed to make a takle.
Carrick is not an attacking mid. He looks uncomfortable playing so far up. He is not effective in tight spaces. Brown has been dismal as usual.
Because he is fragile? Sir Alex doesn't want him to break before CL. Oh shut up. He may be my favorite but he is playing like an idiot.
Acknowledging, he's been better this game than in his previous ones. At least 3 times just in this game - and he hasn't tried once to get past a defender.
