Football SPOILERS 11/12 April

Its Rio's back that has caused the main issue - he has missed so many games this season because of it (or seemingly) - yes Vidic has missed a few through (stupid ) suspensions but its Rio thats mainly caused Evans to play so many more games than he is able to (and therefore causing the errors in defense)

HE is a really decent CB, and he cant be blamed for being asked to fill in more than his legs are capable of - as stated above, I cant see us attracting anyone prominant in that position unless its a replacement for Rio - which isnt going to happen (and that might fairly or unfairly annoy Evans)

Rio is a future club captain - but only if he can keep his back in order (and these problems have been occuring for several seasons now).

Glad to see Anderson back, but he has had a pretty disjointed season with barely any runs in the side...is it too late in the day for this season to give him a number of EPL games on the bounce (surely he will need two or three more sub appearances to be fully match fit I would have thought). I guess with a sub appearance in midweek he could start the Semi next weekend.

Utd have had too many stupid suspensions recently - Vidic and Rooney and Scholes comes to mind straight away - which havent helped at all, and Nani not really improving over last summer has meant we are relying a lot on back up players when we shouldnt be

The whole team hasnt really performed this season apart from a few games (one of which was a Carling Cup game) and our once inpenetrable defence has reverted back to how it was at the beginning of the season ( ie as leaky as the Titanic)
 
The defensive record has played a part in our season. Keeping that record going for so long took a lot out of the players, our midfield weren't attacking as much, the whole ethos seemed to be 'do not concede'. Attacking players like Park (lol) and Tevez playing so defensively, Fletcher and Carrick playing deeper, leaving Ronaldo up to the task of creating something when he's marked by two players all season. And when it was eventually broken, that's when it fell apart. Our defence haven't looked the same since the Blackburn game, everything just seems to be disjointed. No run of good games back to back, no real team performance. It's taken it's toll on the players still being in all competitions, playing more games than any other club this season. The major disappointment this year has been our passing.

Fellaini's turned in to a great signing. Can see you doing well when all your players are back next season.

Its great with him playing in a more forward position it so easy for him to get the ball and with his size turn, run with it, lay it off. When he gets on the run defenders just seem to drop back.
 
Booooooooooo hissssssssssssssssssss. :(


What was Howard doing?!?

Oh.. he was buying an ice cream :D :D

sheperd brought sam in, ashley sacked allardyce, fans wanted him to go because of the long ball football he brought, he's hardly doing well at blackburn though is he?

7 points adrift to 4 points clear.... i'd say he's doing an alright job.
 
Good game so far. :) There's been lots of goals this weekend. For the purposes of my FF team, c'mon Everton! Specifically Cahill.
