Why we don't use Nani more regularly? Simple, because he is inconsistent, you never know which nani you're going to get. Knowing that, how can you send a player into a game without knowing if he'll perform, do you make your tactics based on the assumption that he will perform then? Then if he doesn't, would your entire plan not ...

With the champion's league group stages all but qualified, is it finally the time to awaken the sleeping giant? With his chances hard to come by, I imagine his spirit is ready to erupt into an uncontrollable force, burning with a passion to prove all his doubters wrong! But will we have the courage unlock the shackles which bind him? SHOULD WE ...

[quote user="xmas"]I'll probably catch a lot of grief and "glory hunter" this and "you don't know football that' but here goes. I'll admit I have a problem with Welbeck. I've always felt he'd a be a really decent striker for Sunderland, say, or another chronic mid-table club. I don't think ...

Regardless of what people say, what Rio did was neither justified nor beneficial for the club. The "Kick it out" campaign is the most official stance that has been made against *** in football. To stand against it is to NOT support it, no matter what your intentions are. However, while I feel that while he does not support the campaign, ...

4-1-2-1-2 surprisingly, might just be our way forward, at least in the short term, rather than the 4231. Much like the 4231, the 41212 has a 3 man midfield so we won't get overrun in midfield. From what I know, in the 41212, the fullbacks are responsible for providing much of the width. We have this in rafael, evra, buttner and valencia, who ...

Sorry OP, but you're wrong, Nani had a good game, slightly better than decent. He made AT LEAST 4 good chances in the game, 2 for kagawa after some breathtaking linkup play and 2 for chicharito. I felt he was a constant threat down both sides, moreso than valencia who struggled to put in more than 2 good crosses in the entire game. That said, ...

[quote user="nazamodin Rumjaun"]When Valencia moves forward on the right wing he almost always try to cross the ball to the penalty area. Defenders know exactly what will be his move and cancel him outright.Don't you think he should sometimes move to the penalty area and strike at goal like he scored on a few occasions last ...

[quote user="forevergiggs"][quote user="89cruefan2"][quote user="stretford77"]Chamberlain already had the experience from his time with Soton. Wooton has a little experience from his loan but didn't look confident on pre season, Keane has very little first team experience, Veseli likewise. It isn't the ...

[quote user="BizarreMind"]Great here we go again,with Smalling still injured? & Evans still Injured along with Phil Jones being Injured,the last thing we need is for Rio to be injured,and Carrick to be playing in defense again.Apparently its a groin problem though not a back problem.
