Prime Eto'o would have easily finished that first time pass in the first half. Just doesn't have the extra yard of pace anymore. I still feel his impact and talent is understated by the media/casual fans. A lot of people wrongly think Mata is the better player for some bizarre reason.
Describe Salah as a player as best as you can. I know his pace is incredible and he has very good movement but what about his finishing, crossing, vision, passing and touch in general?
You guys are reading way too much in that tweet. It was more of a tongue in cheek comment pertaining to his current playing time. Anyway, by far his best all around performance for us in months. Was outstanding today.
Once he starts shooting. There was a moment in the 2nd half where he dribbled past 3/4 players but decided to play an errant pass when he had a clear angle to get a shot off.
Most surprising thing about today was how well he and Cole linked up. Hazard was unreal but Ashley had a big part to play as well. End the Azpi at LB experiment please Jose.
I'm still hoping we sign a LB soon to link up with Eden a la Messi/Alves, Ronaldo/Marcelo, Malouda/Ash or Ribery/Alaba. Azpi and Cole are both solid defensively but they're both inept going foward and Eden has almost no chemistry with either of them. Luke Shaw would be ideal.
What an absolute chap. Felt sick to my stomach seeing him pictured together with that creature. Please do not post pics of him holding up a Utd shirt please by the way.
He clearly has the talent but lacks the worth ethic & mentality of top players. He's content with his current salary, his ugly girlfriend and eating at Nando's everyday. You can even see it by his play on the field. He's incredibly passive whenever I've seen him play over the past couple of years. He showed more bottle in his first game for us and it all went downhill from there. EDIT: Just realised I posted virtually the same thing only a few days ago. LOL
