From an outsider's point of view, these ratings are pretty much spot on. Was impressed with how Ranger recovered after a criminal lack of concentration for the 1st.
After all, an extra League Cup game or 2 will result in INSTANT BROKEN LEGS of Ben Arfa, Carroll, Tiote and Barton. And Williamson. And Coloccini will get a really bad cold.
Feel free to correct me but Ryan Taylor seems to deliver excellent free kicks, both shots and crosses. I'd dare say one of the best for that in the league.
Fellaini is the one without the position.
Baba: I agree with the striker problem. Elsewhere though we didn't need anyone, because think back to last year and it was injuries that obliterated us. We don't have many now so there are no excuses. We'll come good and finish in the top 8.
After 5 games?
We've started shit, like we have done consistently. Doesn't excuse it, it's ridiculously frustrating. Let's see how the season goes though, ey?
So he's not talking to BBC reporters, now he's discarding the game altogether?
Seriously, unless there's a genuine reason for not being there that is very poor.
