He was one of the worst but tbh I think rooney's head wasn't right in the first 1/2. I am pretty sure that Nani got 1 very good cross in and Rooney turned around and starting moaning about it.
England fans: Should beckham be in the england squad? The guy offers nothing from play...
It wasn't a good cross the one you're talking about from Nani, it would have been a good cross IF there was anyone near it, but he got the ball and did his usual, he spent AGES peeing around going back and forth, as a striker you can't just make a run come back, make a run, you have to have some idea when the cross is coming in. When Nani finally got clear no one was making a run, and without looking up as per usual Nani just blasted it in, in hope. THe most dangerous speed/dip on a cross is still a bad cross, if you hit it to no one.
Nani was pants, most of the midfield was pants and Milan were ridiculously better in the first half.
PAto continues to be heralded as brilliant, when I only ever seem him (and Kaka) play like that, basically going down easily, refusing to pass, thinking they can take on everyone and basically wasting every chance they get and conceding posession stupidly easily.
I think a rollocking from Fergie, coupled with a ridiculously old and not fit enough midfield trio asked to do more than their fair share with very little help defensively from Pato/Ronnie, simply looked shattered in the second half, is what got Utd back in it. Its laughable you didn't start Valencia, because Nani managed one and a half decent games in the past year, he's not very good, and never will be.
Had Milan taken off Pato for INzaghi, or not started him, and made a midfield change MUCH earlier they could probably have won that. They really should have been miles ahead by half time.
Rooney took his goals, well, okay, Dida is pathetic though, the first header he didn't attempt to save, maybe he could get there with two steps and a big jump, maybe not but he didn't try. Same with the second header, more power but he stopped raising his arms BEFORE the ball had passed him. First goal was flukey and hilarious at the same time, even after it Milan should have taken a lead into half time.
Real, suck, without Diarra they are such a different team, no steel, Diarra wins the ball so much, but also gets the ball from defence to offence very effectively. kaka was appauling yet again, by far the most overpriced transfer in the history of football. I've not seen him have more than a few fantastic games in his entire career, he's so poor so often I can't imagine how anyone rates him so highly. Ronaldo cost very little more and is infinately more effective than him.
