You on a wind up? He was awful, improved second half. Berbatov showed some very nice touches.

What a truely daft statement.

I thought some of the play from United, particularly Berbatov, was outstanding. Like the old entertainers again. Great stuff. Wolfsburg once again showed that if you take it to united there is a much better chance to get something but I think both teams came away with a lot of credibility.

Personally I thought he muh more liek himself last night. Lots of good challenges and sprayed it around quite nicely. He tried a bit too hard at times but in the main I thought he was good.

Berba was probably Utd's best player when he came on, some great touches. Still uncovinced by Valencia though.

Spot on mate...whether many English teams will follow suit or not is highly debateable however.

Should score more and lacks that end product at times.

I like him, I think he's good, although I did think you may have used him in midfield, he's still better than Park IMO.

I've not seen anything from Valencia that has impressed me either in a Wigan or Utd shirt.

Obv. He'll never impress you unless he's sporting a Chang shirt




I like him. Quick, strong, industrious, likes to cross it and not afraid to go the byline. Seems to make the wrong decision at times and the end product isn't quite there. I think he'll improve and be a solid player for Untied, but never world class.

That's his problem, end product. He keeps the ball well and seems to have good pace and strength but does little with it. He does not seem to be able to beat his fullback and then deliver a cross, he just ends up twisting in and out before laying it back to the fulback. He has the potential though.

Diawara got the ball

Ronaldo milked it for all it was worth

Nice try



But there are many who were the Chang that, to quote Shania don't impressa me much!!

Fellaini, Hibbert, Anichebe, Yobo (now and again).

It wasn't a penalty but Ronaldo did nothing wrong. Diawara took man and ball and Ronaldo limped off shortly afterwards.

agree

It looked a definite penno to me but whether it was a second yellow or not is another matter...just because someone gets the ball doesn't automatically mean it isn't a foul and in this case I think there was plenty of contact and the penno was warranted.

The problem is not his end product. He can cross the ball and he can threaten the goal. His problem is decision-making. He gets the ball and you get the feeling he doesn't know what he should be doing.

Funny to hear the Wolfsburg manager refer to their opponents as "Manchester City". Had to chuckle.

I live in Catalonia chuck

Spot on Dan.

Looking forward to see Madrid play someone decent. Think they'll beat Sevilla at the weekend, but it will be interesting to see how they go against a good team in form.

So, you're a Premier League manager who is under a bit of pressure after an indifferent start to this season, and a woeful end to the last. To turn the tide, you decide to appoint a new captain. Do you appoint:-

a) The long established goalkeeper, who hasn't missed many games since signing 6 years ago
b) The left-back, who has surpassed all expectations and performed admirably at this level, despite being constantly written off as 'lower-league at best'
c) The new right-back, who likes a bit of a shout and bawl and gets stuck in
or
d) The 35 year old faded ex-England 'star' who can barely complete 90 minutes even when he does play, which isn't all that often

Yes, you guessed it, Phil Brown has gone for option d!
As much as i hate to say it, he's lost the plot. Big time.

some of us knew he lost the plot in january

He's never had a plot to lose.

Likewise with Nani, guess they both just need time.

Indeed.

Only the very special players (e.g. Rooney and Fabregas) at that age have such great decision-making abilities.

Thats a poor excuse.

Even Man U fans from as far away as Asia get to a few games a season.
