    Thierry Henry

    Probably my favourite striker to watch from a neutral perspective, didnt like him against united, but he was easily the best Striker in the world when he was at arsenal.

    Who's the crap version of Barthez?

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Valdes is a classic example of a player who an opinion was formed on during his early playing career. There is no disputing he was very inconsistant and error prone in his early career, You wouldnt of thought it was unreasonable for Barca to sell during that period. But from 2007 til now, he as...

    Manchester United

    Did you know that Joe Cole is better than Messi? ;) Loving this diamond formation, brings the best out of the team, allows us to be more mobile and unpredictable. Plus the added bonus of being able to include Kagawa, Rooney and Van Persie at the same time.

    Isco

    :lol: Cantona, Rooney, Sheringham, all were/are #10's. All were/are extremly successful here. Care to explain how he doesnt work well with 10's? And Kagawa has played all his football, bar one 45 minute period. as a #10 ffs. Anyway, back on topic, never seen him play, but heard he's a top...

    Manchester United

    111 passes vs Cluj. 88% accuracy. I know they sat deeper than Rooneys thigh gash. but still, its not horrible by any stretch. He's been guilty of being to impatient, and trying the hollywood ball to try and create something, but that has'nt been nearly as bad recently. I think it'll be his year...

    Manchester United

    I dont get the rafael hate, a defensively suceptible attacking full back, shit the bed, you hate Alves aswell? (not that im saying Rafael is anywhere near that level) Waiting on Anderson is the best bet i have, as Ferguson seems reluctent on bringing in a new face, and we've known since he...

    Manchester United

    Your picking 6 or 7 games out of a 50 game season. Granted we've not had the best of starts. But i fail to see that we're as horrendeusly bad as being made out. The defence isnt the problem, its through the midfield again, as good as carrick is at intercepting passes etc, if he's up against 2...

    Manchester United

    Carrick isnt expected to provide goals and assists, its not his role in the side. And im not disputing the fact that the TOP sides have better midfields than us, its obvious. What im disputing is that all the sides will outplay and are technically superior, which is complete horse. We need...

    Manchester United

    Anderson, if you'd been watching, has been good, whennever hes called upon, hes just hardly ever able to be called upon :lol: but something like 6 goals in 10 starts. But as i say, he needs a run of games. Technically inferior? no way. ATM, we are far too immobile, and allow teams to much time...

    Manchester United

    Not really, We're a relic when we play either one of Scholes or Giggs against any sort of mobile midfielder. Which for some reason Fergie continues to do. I reckon a midfield of... Carrick------Anderson ------Kagawa--------- Is fecking good, IF the brazillian can stay fit. Also all very good...

    Manchester United

    :lol: I always love coming on here and reading the dross. Ok, 2 CL's with 12 League titles. Remind me, up until the 2 you've won recently, how many CL's to league titles did Barcelona have? hmmm. Giggs and Scholes. Yup, got to agree. Want Anderson to stay fit as he's been good when called...

    My favourite #10. Such a likeable character too. Rui Costa deserves to be in this.

    Shinji Kagawa

    Cant Wait to see Shinji in Europe for us... Got a feeling he's going to run it.

    Robin van Persie

    Cristiano Ronaldo? he has been anything but consitently world class for Portugal, is he also not world class despite scoring a few nice goals here and there?

    England

    Overpaid, yes. But the way beckham played for united, certainly does not make him 'primadona' or whatever he called him. He was an incredibly hardworking, proffesional and technically gifted. Fairly limited, but still, he would guarentee you 15 or 20 assists a season almost. And Beckham...

    England

    WHy did he choose Beckham? He was fucking quality. Just because he married a spice girl, it seems his brilliant footballing ability seems to be overlooked.

    Shinji Kagawa

    in what way was Evans shit? i love it how you try to come across as if you have no bias, when in reality your the same as any liverpool fan i've ever encountered on a forum. While i wouldnt agree he's better than Agger, hes a very good CB now. Good composure and bringing the ball out added to...
