He seems like he's nervous, and is definately unauthoritive in his defensive third, I dont think he is going to cut it as a United No. 1, considering the likes of VDS and Peter (not including Howard - although his hands grabbed a Charity Shield against Arsenal) - the two are and were authoritive and communicated with their defense.<br /><br />Rafa, I'm pleased with this boys wits and character, an true emulation of Neville. He offers us speed and stamina for our attacks on the right, and treads back quickly. Good kid. <br /><br />Gibson still has to discover and identify himself on the pitch, although he does commit himself to tackles and attempt some silky passes, the lad has to make the manager know why he is there! His setpieces were too average. Maybe my expectations are too high for the lad?<br /><br />Obertan has proven in quite a few occasions that he can do the basics in a competitive game for a good 60 minutes. Christmas is around the corner, and it only comes once a year, and that is when the league will be asking more than just the basics! One message for Gabriel: "Show us that you own that wing"!<br /><br />As for Anderson, aggh! I lost my patience with this lad ages ago, he cannot "ever" find the net with his shooting accuracy and technique! I'm sorry guys, but we have not found a creative central mid-fielder since Juan Veron. The hype behind this kid is titanic (no pun intended)<br /><br />Park, simply parked smartly in the mid-field afer a long absence. Welcome back.<br /><br />Danny shows a lot of promise but I'd like to see more upper body movement, not just silkly touches. And take your chances! <br /><br />Macheda showed that he is also a clever player with a few good decisions at the right times, if he can develop on this facet of the game, then he is going to be a star. <br /><br />Brown was my stand out player, he was commanding, focused and fought well when he needed too. More of this and Rio might be seeing more of his magazine than football.Kanyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314231557406021269.post-18033458740913825432009-11-26T16:25:50.558+00:002009-11-26T16:25:50.558+00:00Kiko and Danny both fustrated the fcuk out me last...Kiko and Danny both fustrated the fcuk out me last night. <br /><br />When they got the ball their body language was too cocky! (If that makes sense!). They're not as good as they think they are. Numerous times Kiko could of wipped the ball in the box but didn't. He decided to stroll up to his man and float it in. Gggrrr<br /><br />Gabby looked good though. Park, hmm. I've always been a 'hmm' type of person towards Park. That said, good to have him back.<br /><br />Still don't know what to make of Ben. At first I wanted to blame him for the goal but when you look back... could he of got it (there is some doubt he could of).<br /><br />I'd like to see the odd reserve player against Spurs but not as many as last night. They wont cut it against a team buzzing from their 9-1 win.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598051092949378072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314231557406021269.post-27916777997167207252009-11-26T12:31:01.782+00:002009-11-26T12:31:01.782+00:00From our seats in WL101 (lower tier, Stretford End...From our seats in WL101 (lower tier, Stretford End, 3 rows back from pitch, directly behind the corner flag) I'd agree with all that. <br /><br />Aside from his goal attempt in second half stoppage time, he was largely poor. Distribution poor. Goal attempts embarassingly poor. <br /><br />Ando has worried me for a while. Never lived up to his billing. Maybe he's nor up to a big club? His goal tally for an attacking midfielder agrees with me. <br /><br />Carrick's form has dipped this season even with his recent goal. Think the return of Hargreaves might help, that's assuming he ever plays again!<br /><br />Fab and Rafa look good albeit both tend to go into tackles with a lot if enthusiasm. Luckily not all have made contact yet but I can see red cards ahead unless their exuberance is tempered. <br /><br />Foster is not a United keeper end of. He lacks authority in his area, has been found wanting on numerous occasions and despite having a good few starts this season has failed to demonstrate Fergie's billing of him. I think VDS would have saved the goal last night. <br /><br />Vida seems to be not quite 100% match fit yet and hasn't looked the "murderer" he was previously ever since Torres turned him over.<br /><br />Gibbo failed to impress given his excellent commendation from Fergie pre-match.<br /><br />Welbeck does nothing for me. Seems too lanky to hold off challenges and easily muscled off the ball. <br /><br />My only positive last night was Obertan who is looking very confident, full if ability, skill etc. Some of his touches last night bore the hallmarks of a certain now departed Portuguese!Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07078785970529309763noreply@blogger.com
