A professional performance in the end. Who shone, who didn't? Marks out of 10 for our players, please. VDS Neville Ferdinand Vidic Fabio Scholes O'Shea Valencia Anderson Nani Berbatov Brown Owen Carrick
VDS 7 - Brings a tad more calm. Neville 7 - Looked good. Ferdinand 7 - Typical Rio. Vidic 5 - What's going on? Looks like Bambi on ice. Fabio 7 - This kid is goood. Scholes 6 - Ok. O'Shea 5 - Meh. Valencia 7 - When other people were calling him crap during the game I thought he looked good. Took his goal well too. Anderson 5 - Looked better when he was moved to CM.(!??) Nani 5 - Ugh...His diving header and cross that lead to the goal bumps up his rating.. Berbatov 6 - Less time whining, more time playing Berba.. Brown 4 - Not sharp. Owen 5 - ? Carrick 7 - Settled us down a lot in midfield.
VDS -7 up to the task Neville -7 best performance since coming back from his long term injuries Ferdinand - 6 still needs more games. Vidic- 6 Not looking as confident as before Fabio -6 good steady game Scholes-6 passed well O'Shea- 6 nothing spectacular, but solid enough Valencia- 6 Whenever he got the ball, it sort of reminded me of a scene in the movie Semi Pro. The scene where Jackie Moon keeps posting up, and then goes "nah, dont like it" and passes it back, then gets it back and does the same thing all over again. Anderson 6 1st half wasnt that good, 2nd half was a lot better. unlucky not to score Nani-6 full of running and ideas [wether bad or good] but not much production wrt to creating chances Berbatov-5 while he didnt really make all the best runs, with the erratic play of Nani and Valencia and Anderson, it was hard for him to get into the game Brown-5 yuck Owen -5.5 good runs, but his timing is still off Carrick n\a
VDS - 6 - not much to do Neville - 7 - good stuff from Gary Ferdinand - 7 Vidic - 5 - poor Fabio - 6.5 - really good first half, moderate second Scholes - 7 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 6 - well taken goal Anderson - 6 Nani - 6 - mixed bag Berbatov - 6 - poor, but played a part in the goal Brown - 5 Owen - 5 Carrick - 6
I am sorry but what did Valencia do except for scoring, he probably didnt beat his man once. VDS- 6 Hardly involved. Neville- 7 He was good for me, got beaten once for pace. Rio- 6 Decent enough. Vidic- 5 Necid footwork fooled him atleast twice. Fabio- 7 Kept a very talented and good Krasic at bay. Nani-6 Our only threat at times, once again the game plan was give the ball to Nani, he beats his man so easy, didnt have options in the box, when we had 3 he found Berba. Also nice play around the box, would have been an assist if the ball didnt hit the post for Valencia. Valencia- 6 Good goal and a good shot at goal, hardly did much else for me. Scholes- 5 Didnt look comfortable for me. Anderson- 6 Ok O'Shea 6.5 Did well. Berba- 5 Didnt got into the game till late. Owen- 5. Carrick- N/A
Only watched the 2nd half and don't intend to watch the 1st. ignore my ratings if so. VDS - 6 - competent Neville - 7 - good crosses and passes Ferdinand - n/a Vidic - 6 Fabio - 6 - Scholes - 6 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 6 Anderson - 6.5 Nani - 6 Berbatov - 6 Brown - 5 Owen - 4.5 Carrick - n/a
VDS - 6 Neville - 7 (good performance, I'm really happy for him) Ferdinand - 7 Vidic - 5 (needs to get back on track for the Liverpool game) Fabio - 6 Scholes - 6 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 6 Anderson - 6 Nani - 6 Berbatov - 6 (complaining most of the time, but a few decent balls) Brown - 6 Owen - 5 (he should put home chances like his miskick towards the end of the game) Carrick -
VDS - 7 Neville - 7 Ferdinand - 6.5 Vidic - 5 Fabio - 7 Scholes - 5.5 O'Shea - 5.5 Valencia - 6.5 Anderson - 5 Nani - 5.5 Berbatov - 4 - Berbacrap. Lazy ass. If it weren't for the assist, he'd get a 2. Brown - N/A Owen - N/A Carrick - N/A
VDS - 7 - Not much to do, but did it well Neville - 7 - Got forward quite a bit, nearly scored to boot Ferdinand - 6 - Decent, but still off his highs Vidic - 5 - Worrying if this is a trend Fabio - 7 - Good overlaps Scholes - 6 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 7 - Nice goal, screamer off the bar as well Anderson - 6 Nani - 7 - Lively, if wasteful Berbatov - 5 - These are the games where he needs to seize initiative ------- Brown - 6 Owen - 6 Carrick - /
VDS - 7 Neville - 7 Ferdinand - 6 Vidic - 5 Fabio - 7 - with the ground he covered, no wonder he cramped up. Scholes - 6.5 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 6.5 Anderson 6 Nani - 6 very lively and frustrating at the same time. Berbatov - 5 - let his frustration got the better of him. Brown - 5 - good to see him out there but he was rusty Owen - 4 - he's been getting games and plenty of opportunity. he needs to do better. Carrick - NA - looked good in a short cameo.
take it for what it is... but yalls rating of fabio silva is so "we have a young guy who plays, lets make it sound like he had a good game" its sad. he did nothing. honestly, the whole team was awful offensively. but you already knew that.
We would market Fabio as being potentially better than Lahm, but we're not the Arsenal board (See: Song - Essien comparisons....lol)
It's like there's nothing to keep phishy occupied on the Arsenal board. Don't you have a carling cup campaign or maybe a medium sized run in the FA cup courtesy a favorable draw to jerk off to? For feck sake. Fabio got sixes and 7s in the ratings. We didn't give him a 10 or nothing.
Yes, because the guy who labeled Cristiano Ronaldo a one trick pony/diver/will never achieve anything is certainly worth responding to.
That's all I could do after reading that comment yesterday. Literally laugh out loud. Another thing to add to the long list of phishy quotes.
VDS - 7 Neville - 7 - One of his better games over the last several years. Ferdinand - 6 Vidic - 5 - About 10 times worse than himself 1 year ago. Fabio - 6 Scholes - 6 O'Shea - 6 Valencia - 7 - Scored a winner. Anderson - 5 Nani - 7 - created the goal Berbatov - 6 - stop whining. Brown - N/A Owen - N/A Carrick - N/A
