What? His natural position is on the left wing. He scores his goals drifting in from just that position...

Erm, no. Lol, where have you been dude? He's always been a right winger.

Right wing, left wing, either way on the wing, and not somewhere near being a striker is all I am saying
Problem is, if we put him on the right wing, who will play down the left?
Nani?
The ageing Giggs?

Rather Nani, than Giggs or Ronaldo. They are all useless in that position, but I'd rather have Nani there. Giggs and Nani are useless, period
and Ronaldo seems to be joining that list.

I still cannot quite fathom how Nani is quite as useless as he is. Even in the three-handled cup, where everyone in our 2nd team was having a blinder whilst taking apart Blackburn, he managed to be easily the worst United player out there
We are gonna miss Hargreaves quite a lot this season I think.
What would you say our strongest starting 11 at the moment is then? When the whole squad is available?
vd Sar
Rafael
Vidic
Ferdinand
Evra
Nani
Carrick
Scholes
Ronaldo
Berbatov/Tevez
Rooney
Something like that?
This last few posts made me laugh my ass off. Supporters not knowing what position the players in THEIR team play.
Right wing/Left wing - hahahh
What I find more funny is how nani is now being called useless but when this was pointed out ages ago they always defended him lol.

I'd actually remove VD Sar and replace him with Foster. The rest looks fine. Berbatov needs to be a bit more devilish. It's something that Carrick has started doing this season - instead of just passing, he now takes shots as well. Berbatov will be a more complete player if he starts shooting and not just look to set up others all the time.

Yeah, I think BBT has brought something new to the club for sure. He could do with adding a few more goals to his tally though to be honest.
Carrick has looked a lot better over the last 5 or so games, doing a lot more of a Scholes or Keane role, getting up front and shooting more, and scoring more, as you mentioned.
I'd start BBT ahead of Tevez I reckon. Depsite Tevez's obvious talent I think the squad is more balanced that way.
Maybe instead of Nani we can go with dear old Fletcher and just have Evra bombing down the left wing? Anything seems preferable to Nani...

MyBB Legend
You're right about Evra. I forgot about him. He is actually a much better option
geez what does fletcher have over nani?
he's passing is worse, his speeed is ****... so what else? his vision is no where near rooney, scholes, carrick, anderson...
Nani is playing like how ronaldo did in his first season at Old Trafford... too selfish wants all the glory... he'll calm down and become a more complete/patience player. Giggs has simply become non existent... I mean open goal against Man City and he sprints 10m and passess to rooney??? lol
I think team should be as follows:
van der sar
Rafael
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Ronaldo (right)
Carrick/Hargreves (right mf)
Scholes/Anderson (left mf)
Nani (left)
Rooney
Tevez/Berbatov

Problem with Nani is that we have all been saying that he needs some time and has lots of raw talent. But how much more time does he need?
I am not Fletcher fan, believe me, but I don't know who else to put in Nani's place, with Hargreaves out for the rest of the season. I guess Anderson could do a job, and there's always Park at a push

No ban for Rooney.
And I cannot believe there was even a chance that Ronaldo was gonna get one for a 'cheeky kick' at Dawson in the Spurs game. But he is not getting one for that either

No ways! VD Sar is way better than Foster. I reckon he's got one or two more seasons left in the tank and then he's done so rather let him have his glory days.
Ben foster still hesistates... look at the match against Spurs in the FA CUP... The 3rd goal he could have prevented but he was left in no man's land - well neville is mostly to blame.
VD Sar is still be far better than Foster and Kuzcak.
As for the match this weekend. United played really well just the Spurs keeper played even better! Giggs free kick was goal bound, yet it was stopped, Parks super half volley, pushed over, Ferdinand's strike was also stopped.
I must say from that match it seems as tho united has started to approach the one-two touch game style... seems to create a crap load of space but they just couldn't beat the keeper

My confidence in VDS has gone down considerably. He hesitates when coming out and I can't even count how many times he has missed the ball. He is also dodgy when the backpasses come in. I'd rather start with Foster and give him the experience cos like it or not, he is the future for us.

I don't trust Foster or Kuzckack. If I was Fergie I'd try and trade for a new goalie, Ochoa of Amėrica is damn good.

I would also have preferred it if this was vd Sar's last season. He does not look confident any more. Last season it cost us a few goals as well. Like in the CL final...
