Ronnie didnt seem interested in even closing people down or trying to make space. Himself and Giggs came infield a lot which meant we had no width which was disappointing. Im still worried about Rooney though....I believe we need him in the team but he continues to miss chances and play poorly. Apart from the Arsenal game I cant remember the last time he had a great match (it was THAT long ago). He should have scored in the first half and messed up Tevez' chance. He needs to do a lot better.
I was disappointed with pretty much the entire midfield.
Anderson looked tired, Hargo wasnt at the races. Giggs and Scholes seemed off colour as well. The defence were grand. They took care of most things. The Benzema goal was quality and only a half chance.
Im pretty sick of people saying we should ditch Giggs and Scholes.
They are club legends who deserve a bit of respect. We can analyse and criticise their performances but saying they should hang up their boots and that they are a liability is a disgrace. Some of you seem to have forgotten what these 2 have done for the club. Scholes is still getting his match fitness back so give him time.
Giggs hasnt been at his best this season it has to be said, but the man deserves our respect and gratitude.
All in all it was a decent result and we should be able to do the business at home.
lets hope so anyway. |
i agree with everything that was said in this post. The truth, end of,lol.
Seriously Nani looks like a great prospect but when ronaldo came atleast 2 years younger than him he looked an even better prospect and he is not in the same bracket potential wise as ronaldo but like carlos queirez said, if he gets to half of ronaldos ability, everyone will be happy. Also i agree with versa that he should be starting more games along with anderson (who possibly looks an even better prospect than nani) BUT they cannot be relied on week in week out because they are soo young and in there first year in the premier league. Also young players if played too much suffer from burnout very easily, they become less effective so i believe fergie knows what he is doing. Giggs and Scholes still have a part to play in this season, maybe next season they will become bit part players but they deserve respect for everything they have achieved and on there days are still great players. I still say we start with Nani and anderson but there is nothing wrong with playing the likes of scholes in CL matches where anderson is still very new to and is still learning the ropes of that style of play which is very different to the premier league.
Anyway i have high hopes for both players and i believe nani and anderson are the today and tomorrow of this club BUT giggs and scholes are the yesterday, today and tomorrow of this club because they represent what united are all about and will forever be legends in uniteds history.
I think next season and possibly from now till the end of the season we will start to slowly see more and more of the younger lads and giggs and scholes may slowly start to play less games but they are still needed, they can still change games now and again.
As for rooney and ronaldo, i hope ronaldo is not carrying any niggling knocks or saving energy now for the euro championships and as for rooney, we havent seen much of him at all this season but i hope we get the best of him now because we need him, ronaldo has had a poor february and its time for the other lad to shine. We cannot always expect ronaldo to score all the goals and win us matches all the time.
