    Ba is a momentum player, he will deliver a decent return if given a run off games and responsibility, he has never got that here. Lukaku barely played for us, Sturridge had a decent record for us actually. Torres was on the wane under Woy before he even got here and Eto'o's not scoring like he use to for the same reason Drogba didn't post double.

    Miss the 09-10 Ivanovic.

    He took a pay cut to leave his boyhood club and had a little wobble after CL win, if Jose tells him this summer that he's 4th choice and will only get a look in if 2 are injured i will be amazed if he doesn't at the very least consider his options.

    This fantasy that "Torres always gives 100%" has me in tears off laughter, Torres makes the Malouda post double season look like a work horse. For all the cringeworthy excuses made for him this one tops the lot.
  5. Tomo
    For all his faults, he isn't the mercanary type, if Mou tells him that he will rarely play and he has fallen further down the pecking order we might get lucky.

    I feel with Eto'o he atleast gets the basics right, if nothing else. When he has the ball i feel happy enough to say were still have it in 5 seconds time , with Torres and Ba im mentally preparing for the loss off possession. But like you said neither are good enough to start for us and that will be adressed in the summer.
  7. Tomo
    Apart from heading, what has Torres got over Eto'o? im genuinely curious.

    Im not convinced the not playing in Europe thing is that big an advantage, if it even is at-all. I remember Pep saying once that he hated no midweek games because the players sometimes wind down a bit to much, whereas a game every 3-4 days and you are constantly in your element. Regarding Carlo's first season im not sure how much affect United playing in Munich had on our game at OT, the second half United swarmed all over us so they couldn't have been that tired iin first half, maybe we got our tactics spot on.

    Score the winner at Anfield that wins us the league (last minute in the Kop) leave in the summer fetching us 15m we can put towards Cavani, then i might forgive everything you put us through.

    The supposed quadruple winners in waiting have lost their 3 biggest home games off the season and not only that, they got outplayed in all of them.

    Mate stop responding to him, how he survived the troll cull (which saw BMK and Phil Driver gone amoungst others) i will never know.

    Thought i was the only one who saw this. Their is something in the water when it comes to over rating City. I have seen people claim they will win the quad, some even suggesting they could turn out to be the best off all time, i have never seen a team have so much hype for so little. Dont get me wrong they are a top team that will be up there this season and beyond, but quad? best team in the world? best team ever? not even close.
  13. Tomo
    To some extent maybe, however 8 years without a trophy with some off the players he has had avalible to him is under-achievement, infact go back to pre 2005 when he had the best team in England if not Europe, he should have had Arsenal dominating England if not Europe, instead he was letting United win more than Arsenal while the likes off Deportivo and Inter were coming to Highbury and taking them to the cleaners. Jose or Fergie incharge off Arsenal circa 00-05 and i dread to think what would have happened.

    It took Mancini 3 years to win the league and that was by the skin off his teeth, Hughes would have took a lot longer. Im not disagreeing with the bit that money helps but to build a consistent winning jaugernaught for me needs a WC manager, especially nowadays.
  15. Tomo
    If we won vs Newcastle and Liverpool we would have got 4th, i reckon if Barca beat us we would have likely put those 2 games ahead off the FA Cup final.

    Money does play a big part in the modern game but it doesn't buy team spirit, give the players mental toughness to see a task through and other key elements to create a winning machine. Look at QPR last season, their spending should have at the very least comfortably kept them up, yet they were gone by April. Spending loads off money will get more wins due to individual quality (like with Hughes at City) but to create a winning machine? there's only so much money alone can aid that process ,it helps not deyning that, but put it this way, i don't think Ian Dowie could ever lead a team to a title even if he outspent his competition combined x 10.

    Dont care what anyone says, the booing off Ramires from WBA fans was pathetic. If we booed every player who was at the forefront off a controversial decision that went against Chelsea in the past we would be at it almost every game. Why can't they get their heads round the fact what comes around goes around? ffs last season they won at QPR because Fortune assaulted Rob Green. I never use to mind WBA, now i want the fukers relegated.

    United aren't too big to go down the shitter. There's also absolutely no guarantee Moyes would work if given time, look at AC Milan, gave Allegiri a chance to build a team and look what happened. Milan are massive club and they have gone down, United aren't too big to do the same especially with Gollum at the helm.

    If we win both legs vs Gala we would have beaten Drogba more times than Arsenal have.
  20. Tomo
    He has basically put himself in the position he was when he joined us. The tiny ray off hope in an ageing stagnant team. All United need to do to completely replicate us back then is sack Moyes and Neville does a Di Matteo.
  21. Tomo
    lol at all this rotation talk, the team you saw on saturday will be the team we will likely see for the rest off the season apart from JT instead off Luiz, unless we have a wobble or Luiz, Cole, Schurrle, Torres or Salah play their way in. The only part off the pitch we will see rotation often is CM and that's only because Lamps is 35 and Matic can't play CL. We have a settled first team right now and rotation will only be made when need be, Jose isn't Benitez or Ranieri.
  22. Tomo
    Actually im liking the thought off Eto'o taking Lukaku under his wing, if Hazard is benefiting from his presence, imagine a young talented forward.
  23. Tomo
    I wish Justin 3D was still here, i kept saying Moyes would epically flop at a top job and he wasn't having any off it. Thank fuck Roman knew better, merely thinking off how he would have used Hazard is disturbing.
  24. Tomo
    I actually think they could recover if they act now and get shot off Moyes but they won't because they pride themselves on giving managers time, this was the case even before Fergie, part off the reason they went 26 years without a title was because they always left sacking managers too late. People like to have a go at Roman for his "itchy trigger finger" but that is 100 times better than stability for the sake off it.

    04-05 to 07-08 we were insane, the consistency we had was inhuman, 12 league defeats in 4 seasons, all but 3 being by the 1 goal. Win for ages have one setback and go again. If it wasn't for a ridiculous injury list we would have won 4 on the trot. If only Jose and Roman agreed to see out 07-08 together before letting Mou go on his European tour. Summer 2008 we should have started the re-building process, although we still stayed at top form for the 2 years after i felt we were not re energising the squad and it will come back to bite us and in 10-11 it did just that. Hopefully lessons are learned this time round.
