Shearer should have bought him on and beheaded him while holding his pony and then one mighty swing into the crowd. Probably a yellow. Fuck off tbh It's difficult to hear with your head dangling somewhere in the crowd.

I am sure there are a lot of legal implications to draft as AS would want watertight guarantees.

I had the feeling Man U as an attacking force struggled at times this season.

In a nutshell. I have a feeling being in the same side as CR has also hurt his mind in some subtle ways.

I hate Madrid, but even the ref had the final outcome in that match. Pretty certain that if it wasn't down to refs it would have been a Man United v Chelsea final again last night tbh.... Chelsea have been robbed no doubt.

Go away.

Rooney has been playing there all season at Man U and last season, hardly knee jerk dimwit. He doesn't look the same to me these days. Yet you choose to create this thread after they lose and he has a bad game, not halfway through last season eh? Was it to obvious back then too?? When they were winning every week? What made you do it now, since this has been happenning all season. He's scored 3 goals in the last 15 games for Man U. And I think he is wasted out on the left IMO. Try to contribute to a thread instead of trying to look clever in future.

Tactically they have been lacking in the past, mainly not having patience. Capello is well on the way to fixing that however. Rooney should have been more central today for me and Tevez should have started, they hunt well together with CR as the loose forward. For me the benefit of hindsight says that Rooney should started centrally, personally I thought Rooney might be able to take advantage of Puyol being out of position. Agreed on the Tevez comment though, without doubt. The England team is such a Rubiks cube though, who the fuck goes where? Do you stick him on the left and sort out that weakness, and play Crouch, or Heskey? Or play him in the middle and play Downing or Young. Neither of the alternatives are good enough for the big games. Actually to my mind Young is readymade for the Rooney role at Man U. Free the Rooney 1 !

Prefer the old Rooney. But take your point.

That has become very apparent, or when he does it isn't as instinctive as it used to be. Seems to spend too much time looking for Ronaldo as well. Would be good for him if Ronaldo does leave.

With this deeper, wider role. It isn't so obvious when Man U dominate games and he gets plenty of the ball, but tonight he looked lost out there. Over the longer term, it seems to me he has lost a bit of confidence/sharpness around goal. Should he go back to playing more centrally and around the box?

I have to take issue with you at that! Carlos Puyol is a masterful cheater. You have your Didier Drogbas, your Tim Cahills, your Cronaldos... your common as muck street thiefs, and then you have Puyol... a diamond thief! In all seriousness, as cheating has become endemic in football, I previously consoled myself in not minding when two cheating teams encountered one another - live by the sword, die by the dive and all that. It's sad that now every team cheats. Even Newcastle. Anyway, my point is that Puyol isn't the worst. Cronaldos jumping elbow from behind was far more cowardly, petulant and sums up what a little bitch he is. Puyol did a masterful job out of position on the right.

He fails as he's trying to defend his glory hunting choice of team was because he went to see them. It's hardly a coincidence that he went to Barcelona, and once he was there went to Camp Nou instead of Espanyol's home ground (which I don't know the name of). He also fails as he's basing his argument for the thread on one game. Pretty big game though. Also a game where finally we see Man U aren't that flexible when the pressure is on. Of course it's a big game, probably the second biggest game in football after the WC final. It really doesn't mean anything when comparing two leagues though. Ah I see. Ridiculous how outplayed ManU were though.

And have you ever made a a worthwhile thread in any genre? No, I didn't think so. Don't get defensive. Better to talk football. Non?

They gave up the center to Barca. And IMO AF started the wrong side. However, Barca outclassed and outthought them.

1-1 Barca on pens.

Like I said, the worse performances we put in the more players wages are quoted as. Owen started the season quoted as being on £90 a week. Now the quotes are from £125k per week up to in some places £140k a week. It's crazy. Frankly nobody has a clue what any player is on. Yes we know those who are on high wages but we don't know what those high wages are. I think he's on 105k.

65k.

He's got nowhere to go.

Shearer should have bought him on and beheaded him while holding his pony and then one mighty swing into the crowd. Probably a yellow. You really hate him don't you? That would be the first cross he'd be involved in this season.

My arse. He's hidden in almost every game he's played since he arrived. Scared to demand the ball, scared to attempt to cross, scared to try to beat his opponent, scared to have a shot. I sense a theme in this post.
