Ronaldo

Shay is so reliant on his agility, moreso than any keeper I've ever seen at this level, he's not gonna have that for much longer. And then what does he have? his fantastic organisation skills and box domination? fan of Shay but when we have an entirely new back four (almost) we need a goalkeeper who will communicate and organise. That was very blatantly lacking yesterday

anyone else starting to think Enrique showed up for his first training session in gloves and sam did a backflip?

anyone who thinks N'zogbia should play at LB needs talking to, he's both wasted and a liability there

come on little Emre, perfect game for the comeback

Emre on now. Our midfield seems to have ceased to exist

Geremi is not Gary Speed and never will be, good post that aside

for 6'3 and 13-14 stone he's about a phsyically dominant as a loaf of bread had enough now

Solano would have made things worse last night anyone who thinks we don't need Duff asap needs a talking to

ok apologies if you didn't quite get it, maybe i should have built an image of Cacapa becoming a legend with lego bricks

never said he'd become a legend, i said he WOULD become a legend what you on about Beardsley for? I named my favourite all-time player and my favourite current player

Pedro Cacapa glad to see so many people on the same wavelength as me regarding Cacapa, remember saying 4 weeks ago he'd become a legend and getting a barrage of criticism.

rather good defenders than local ones tbh

ridiculous says it all, to be a good defender you have to be running around like Steven Taylor on ecstacy or flying in with challanges left, right and centre Ferdinand doesn't have to do this because he's one step ahead of the attacker, Ferguson's no mug, there's a reason he paid £30m for him aye and shevchenko was bought for that price... kind of negates the whole "hes expensive therefore he's good" arguement not an argument that I used really, difference being, Ferdinand has been the first name on Fergie's teamsheet for 3 years now Sorry that's just bollocks, there's a couple of players that Fergie would put ahead of Ferdinand. Even in centre back, if you ask most Man Utd fans, they'd prefer Vidic ahead of Ferdinand. Ferdinand is good but is also liable to some serious concentration issues. Hard to compare him with Terry. Terry does not have the continental class of Ferdinand in terms of bringing the ball out of defence, but that also makes him more reliable, i.e. no fannying about, just get the ball and clear the ball into midfield. how's it bollocks, Ferdinand has always been in the team at CB (when fit) for over 3 years. Vidic was bought to be the perfect partner for him and his place in the team has never been under threat. You can't even say that for Rooney

I hope that one day i'll tell you how wrong I was and how right you were, but for now I can't see it

the next John Terry? don't make me laugh, at 21 Terry was accomplished in the air, the tackle, had composure, game reading etc Taylor spends 90% of the game chasing the ball or the man he failed to pick up when he should have. He's very, very average and I hope Rozenhal and Cacapa ensure he's nowher near our starting Xl this season

Taylor once again confusing his talent with his ego still, 9k is a disgrace

have said for a while I didn't think Given was Allardyce's sort of keeper. This time next season I think we'll have a new no.1

I don't think people realise just how much we need Emre in the team. Really don't think I can stand another Butt, Geremi, Smith midfield

perhaps you should read both his posts and spot the difference

two poacher's goals and a penalty and Sibierksi is better than Viduka madness

well no, you said "pretty good LAST SEASON" was last season the future? another foreign genius to add to this forum's collection

pretty GOOD??? serious or what? the guy didn't look anything like a defender

glad everyone seems to be acknowledging the fact that Cacapa should play alongside Rozenhal
