That free kick that Rooney took (10 mins in ?) and put narrowly wide and over....look at the wall !!! Its badly positioned, they should all have been one player to the left, and its land of the giants in the middle, but the bloke on the end was a 3ft midget. Hasn`t anybody got the nous to give it to Baines, or hasn`t he got the courage to kick Rooney off it ?
First game, we played Welbeck as a stop to their fullbacks getting forward. But he`s up against Chellini who`s a centre back with absolutely no ability apart from kicking people. Why didn`t he get put on the left where their right back had the freedom of the park ?
Pirlo is 5hit. Thank God Costa Rica showed him up for what he is, and yet we managed to make him look brilliant.
Why do we run like fook to the halfway line, to then stop and play it back twenty yards ? If we`re playing possession football lets have a slow amble up field and conserve a bit of energy.
If we`re playing 4-2-3-1, the one cannot be Sturridge. It must be Lambert with his ability to hold the ball and play runners in. Have Sturridge, Sterling and Lallana as fast paced runners joining and going past. And the two cannot be fookers that can`t put their foot in, and that `tackle` from Gerrard isn`t putting your foot in. You can still be hard and legal.
But the most interesting question to emerge, is what are Man U going to do with Rooney ? He`s got a new 5yr contract on £300k a week. Too much to be dropped, nobody will come in and offer anything like that so can`t be sold. (Did anyone see the first set of Nike adverts just before the first game kicked off ? It was very telling...Messi doing a bit, Ronaldo looking cool, and Rooney looking like a blimp. Now if Nike can see it in their promotional stuff, surely Woy should be able to see it ?)
I`ll have a little breather now, there`s plenty more to resolve.
