Worst performance by a player in a CL final....Rooney in 2009.Jeez did he get off the bus?Where was that ''Wonderful technique'' that he's supposed to have?It was non existent.Which sounds right as he has no technique.
KPR, you haven't got a clue about football. So your "opinion" means nothing. You're a number merchant and nothing else.
It was still pathetic,He was as bad as he was in the world cup.He couldn't trap a bag of cement let alone a football..This should put an end to the nonsense that Rooney is ''world class'.He's anything but.
Like I said, you haven't got a clue. I'm not going to get into the reasons why your team, or any other team would definitely have someone with Rooney's abilities in their team because you're too stupid to understand. Good luck with Andy Carroll. As for the world cup, the whole team were ****ing abysmal. There's a reason for this, well two. Fabio Capello is not good enough for the England managers job. He gave Gerrard the captaincy and it has to be said he's the worst Captain England have ever had.
KPR you are just stating the obvious, everyone knows Rooney is not world class. However, he is still a fantastic player and one of the best in England.
VDS also made some top quality saves in that game. Valencia was rated as the worst player on the pitch because he was. He did not beat his marker, all he did was put in one cross which was hit over the bar. In the whole game he put in one terrible cross. For the rest of the game he was too busy hacking Messi and playing dangerously. He was fouling with no end, losing the ball and was just the definition of dire. If that was Nani, (who has never had such a bad game in his career) HE WOULD STILL BE GETTING SLAUGHTERED. Why is Valencia some how allowed to get away with such a dire, terrible disgraceful display? We would have been better off playing with Bebe than him, he was that bad. One thing it did teach Ferguson, was that limited, safe players is not the future.
Nani had plenty of terrible games in a United shirt. Stop this ridiculous bias. A couple of them were in the season just passed.
A couple of terrible games agree but nowhere near as bad. That game by Valencia was awful, beyond awful. He made Giggs and Hernandez look good in that game and Hernandez did not even exist in that game, I can't even remember him. Valencia is a good squad player, has a nice personality and very likable but ability wise not anything good. I like him for his courage and his personality but his ability is very limited. There is a reason why top teams have versatility in their attack, Valencia is the opposite to everything that. He should remain in the squad but being a starter should not be automatic. We went to the top of league with the help of Nani's 18 assists and 9 goals and if it was Nani who was injured instead of Valencia, could you see Valencia carrying the attacking side of the team like Nani did when Rooney was off his head? Would Valencia score wonder goals out of nowhere? Like against Stoke, Bolton Bursa? No.
There is a reason why the Players voted Nani as their player of the year. Carrick, Evra, Vidic, Vds all said it was Nani who was the main reason for us winning the league. They acknowledged how important his role was when the team where down and in need of spark. Nani carried the team from October to December in that turbulent period and was so important. The players know best and they voted Nani as their players player of the year. Valencia is just not in the same caliber. Useful player in safe situations but he has not got the ability to try to do something when the team is in need of a win.
With Valencia in the side we won little with him, with more talented player we win titles, this is the nature of football. Valencia is not a top player and won't ever score more than 10 goals or assist more than 10 in the league. He has not got the ability to do that. In his so called great season of 09/10 he assisted just 9 goals and scored wait for it JUST 5 goals. Nani scored 5 goals and had 10 assists in that season with a lot less games. Nani as a starter in 10-11, assisted 18 and scored 9 in the league. Stats don't lie, Nani is far more productive and better, end of story. And guess what, that was Valencias best ever season in England, before that he scored only 7 goals in 3 seasons. He is not going to produce much as he simply is not good enough. Nani has 46 caps for Portugal and is just 24 and has 20 assists and 9 goals for Portugal. He is a far better play than Antonio.
I know Ferguson knows best, he also knows that the Glazers are great owners. Will you accept that the Glazers are great owners? Ferguson knows best remember, he said their great owners. Or are you going to throw some conspiracy theories at me? Why don't we hold a annual gathering for the Glazers? There great owners right?
You know nothing about football sir, it's clearly obvious in anyone's eyes, who would they pick from a in form nani or a in form Valencia. Nani wasn't picked because he had a dip in form at the end, and Valencia is better defensively-thats it. Nani has been awesome, he bascially carried our team in the first half of our season. Don't say berba has, because he was too inconsistent. When players like Rooney being off form, Carrick was terrible, giggs hardly featured, Hernandez still adapting-it was Nani who helped us through the games with his moments of magic. Yes Valencia was amazing at the end of the season, thats when everyone one was playing well, and he was fresh and is allowed to play his favourite right side. Nani had to acoodate by moving to the left.
Teams that have one "awesome" player for half of the season do not win the league. If you fail to see the contribution of the team as a whole then you ain't got a clue, nevermind me. Why do you think Liverpool haven't won the league for so long? Because all they have is Gerrard carrying them through a ****load of Premier league games. Berbatov was also immense during the spell Rooney was off-form, whether you care to admit it or not. His inconsistency meant that the second half of the season saw him drop back a bit. When Valencia came back from injury it was like a breath of fresh air, we didn't have to rely on Nani so much so it lightened the load on him. To sit here and bitch about Valencia like he'd killed someone is ridiculous when others such as Nani have also had very poor games this season. Particularly when the whole team were outclassed by Barcelona.
Valencia looked bad because he was the only one of our players that could even get within tackling range when Barca had the ball.
I agree with this at least Valencia tried his best to disrupt Barca in any way possible. That way being fouling them constantly.
