For starters, Gibson was that bad, I laughed at how bad his passing was, I thought to myself, Man U have their own Song.......... then I remembered Song is all but first team for us, Gibson will barely get another game ever
Good on Fergie for keeping him on though and I'm fairly sure if they hadn't won he wouldn't of cut only him from the team for the next few games killing his confidence(not that he'll have much anyway). Welbeck was terrible but to a certain degree had very little of the ball, same goes for Tevez, not good but had little to go on. Remember the key for a central midfielder is this, keep the smegging ball. Your wingers and strikers are SUPPOSED to try to get the ball in the net, they will ALWAYS lose more of the ball than other players by the very nature of the game. THe fact that Gibson had plenty of passes to him under little pressure, lots of time to pick out a pass and screwed almost all of them up isn't the same as Welbeck running shoulder to shoulder as a kid, with a full grown tough centre back and losing, its just not remotely the same at all.
As for the dive/foul, anyone got a link to a vid of it, I seem to remember basically King missing it completely stepping on Ronaldos foot and Ronaldo starting to go down from that, his foot comes loose from under Kings but he's already going over, not a dive at all, harsh(due to direction and ball) penalty, but a penalty none the less.
As for looking at a list of Fab, Ronaldo, Messi, Anderson, Benzema and Aguero and claiming that only Fab is a midfielder? I'd dare to suggest that Messi, Ronaldo and Anderson all play midfield, but maybe its just me.
Evra wasn't as bad as made out either, being spurs fans I assume you watched the Blackburn game where Olsen got sent off, sticking a foot out with the hopes of getting the ball against an uber fast player with the delivery of your granny is retarded. It got Olsen sent off, as Evra probably would have been if he'd spent all game catching him. Instead he let him by, Lennon did nothing at all and Evra didn't have any trouble with repeated fouls. He wasn't anywhere near his best, but kicking out at a fast player is just plain stupid, especially one reknowned for his inability to do a damn thing once he actually puts the ball in.
Don't think Modric did much either, he's the playmaker that everyone passes too, that was about what happened, on the ball and created very little. Dirty little git aswell, he uses the fact that he's skinny and a midget to run around barging into people and using his size and stupid ref's as a reason to not constantly get yellowed.
Gibson, crap, Evra, not that bad, O'shea not great but don't understand the abuse. Hasn't he scored quite a few key goals for you both this and last season, he got a few goals when the team was misfiring early season and early season I seem to remember him bombing forwards constantly and getting in the box, getting on the end of moves to get the goal and doing fairly well. He's done a damn site more for the team than Nani has all year.
