I know the January window has just closed but I hope we hold onto Krul.
SAF will be sniffing around as De Gea is ****.
****ing hate the Colo bias some people show. He had a poor game. Villa exposed his weaknesses well. He lost a lot of headers, got bullied about a bit and was caught out of position regularly. Willo was bailing Colo not the other way around. And Santon bailed him out a couple of times.
Couldn't disagree with this more. Colo was class, don't understand where you're coming from - which bits of the game was he exposed? I suppose the goal is the only thing I can think of but that was good positioning by Keane and both Willo and Colo could have got closer to him.
He'll come good in time but it was foolish of Fergie to put his money on the kid at this stage. Old Trafford is a tough place for goalkeepers, expectations are through the roof naturally.
Must admit I thought Colo had a poorish game by his very high standards. He showed his usual moments of class but him and Simpson had a torrid time with the Zog (fair enough he is a very good player). He drifted past Colo with ease a couple of times. There were also a couple of balls that went across the front of the defence 2nd half that Colo would normally have stepped out and took but he was a bit hesitant. He didn't have a shocker but wasn't at his imperious best. Willo was struggling for me. Bent led him a merry dance first half with the timing of his runs. Pardew was right below me and he let him, Simpson and Colo know in no uncertain terms to get a grip on Zog, Keane and Bent! His language was colourful shall we say. Just after Ba scored. To be fair all three are good players and will cause problems. To Willos credit despite the odd dodgy one, he won a lot of headers late on to relieve pressure.
On the flipside I thought Santon did very well which was nice after a few dodgy games.

but willo cant help he hasnt got the pace of keane or bent, not many players do
Well he set up their only goal and raped Simpson for the whole first half. I don't really blame Simpson as he is a tricky customer but when Zog switched sides he got **** all out of Santon. Same old problems reared its head anyway. He was right below me when McLeish said "you haven't started 2nd half", just typical manager motivation tactics. Zog immediately threw his toys out of the pram and started shouting at him. McLeish said or at least looked like he said, "right you're coming off" 2mins later and it was all over. Charles might be talented but when lots of people were clamouring for his signing I was dead against it for this very reason. He is a grade A sulky twat.
I wanted him to come back at the time, but despite playing well yesterday he has been disappointing and has shown the sulky side of himself, so now glad we didn't sign him.
I think he has undoubted talent. He's quick, skilful, has a great cross and has thunder in his shooting boots. Its just his attitude. When I heard the story about Butt and the mobile phone mid teamtalk in a relegation battle, I thought "shift him on"
