Park, Park, wherever you may be...

redboi_4_life · 1st March 2008, 19:51

Anyone else think he had a good game today? Granted it was agianst fulham but still since he got back from injury he has played very well every chance he's got in the team. Eagerness to run at players, get in the box and chase back in the rare occasion he was needed to.

Big shout out to NANI!!! as well (we seriously need to get that chant going...you know the one from the glentoran game...funny as), making a name for himself and not just being compared to ronaldo...think he's settled alot quicker than ronnie did when he first arived, quick feet and great delivery into the box!

Redboi 4 life, whoever you may be...

Great thread, but change the name.

Alex · 1st March 2008, 19:53

Park and Nani are excellent back up wingers, add to that they can play the attacking positions of the 4-3-3, United are sploit for choice on the wing

Utd heap · 1st March 2008, 20:16

Aye, i was at the game today, and his touch erally stood out today.
Great work rate as always.

Eriku · 1st March 2008, 20:20

too bad he's been plagued with injuries :\

He could be our Hleb... His style reminds me of his. Not quite as explosive and a bit weaker, but the lad still makes a solid challenge, and is two-footed. It's anybody's guess which way he'll take it past you. Puts the defenders off their feet, is good to watch

And him scoring on the head is always fun

kundalini · 1st March 2008, 21:00

I like Park because he puts a lot of effort into matches where perhaps the likes of Ronaldo or Giggs might be tempted to take it easy. I feel he is well suited to away matches against some of the teams facing a battle against relegation. He'll make a lot of runs off the ball and get involved in counter-attacks.

Raven Blade · 1st March 2008, 21:04

He is a very good winger. Today he looked fast, sharp and dangerous. Ronaldo, Giggs, Nani and Park. Not a bad selection of wingers we have here.

reddevilcanada · 1st March 2008, 21:13

He was very good today, excellent back-up winger.

AttackingFlair · 1st March 2008, 21:19

Park is a good player

Coca Cola · 1st March 2008, 23:00

he was good today. Clever little player.

Great goal as well. Let´s hope he can go on a bit of a goal scoring run like last season.

Steev · 1st March 2008, 23:05

I've always liked Park. I used to think his finishing needed a bit of work but nevertheless he seems to chip in with the odd goal now and then.

He's a busy cnut as well.

Coca Cola · 1st March 2008, 23:12

Captain Fantastic

Ferguson · 2nd March 2008, 00:16

He does manage to get the odd goal, but as much as I love Park I couldn't help noticing that Nani was more of a threat. I wish Park would run at players more. In any case Park will remain a useful squad player for us for many more years IMO.

Crumpsall Red · 2nd March 2008, 00:48

Park never lets us down. He's a great stand in player who will get 30+ games a season (if fit) and will always give everything.

girish · 2nd March 2008, 04:39

When he joined United I thought it'd be all about marketing. But he's been very good.

reelworld · 2nd March 2008, 04:42

People highlighted his workrate, but I thought his passing was very good. See that build up to the third goal, the way he slipped the ball between the defender's legs to O'Shea.

^Red Devil^ · 2nd March 2008, 04:50

I think parks greatest improvement since joining united has been his vision and awareness of the players around him.

He too often had the ball nicked off his toe when he arrived at united. Now he looks like a very solid squad player.

Suresh · 2nd March 2008, 06:54

And what a leap for the goal too. That's what eating ginseng and kiimchi gets you. And I'm not talking about gas either.

ginseng is available here as tablets. I might give it a try

M160RA · 2nd March 2008, 07:46

Park was a bargain. Not many wingers of his quality go for less than 5m. He's clever, pacy, and has an excellent attitude and work rate.

Donegan · 2nd March 2008, 07:58

Decent player Park, he'll only ever be a squad player though. Atleast he's selling loadsa shirts in china or japan or whatever it is

Instant Karma · 2nd March 2008, 08:53

Very good squad player. Shouldn't be falling over every time a defender gets near him though

RedRonaldo · 2nd March 2008, 09:29

Excellent squad player. He is the type of player everyone wants in their squad.

Yeah - I think his arse is a huge great fucking grass magnet!

izzydiggler · 2nd March 2008, 11:27

He's a fairly good squad player....if the 18 yard box wasn't Kryptonite to him, he'd be a much better player. But at the minute, I'm not comfortable with him playing in the "big" games. But he's perfect for the likes of Fulham.

Eyepopper · 2nd March 2008, 11:51

He's an excellent squad winger..... intelligent and energetic player....

I agree on Nani too, he's really starting to look the real deal. He's gonna be a big player for us next year and a great long term replacement for Giggs...

Gasolin · 2nd March 2008, 11:52

I think he's more the kind of players who needs to play a bit more. If he recovers his PSV level, he'll be terrific. I'm sure he'll give us far more than what we see right now, or even last year. And I hope to see him in Champions League. It's in these tight games that we need him, to push the team forward. Hope he finds his finishing of PSV too

.

redboi_4_life · 2nd March 2008, 16:18

He was undoubtedly great for PSV during that champs league run, but I think he would need a consistent run of games to get back to that form and unfortunately he is not first choice on the richt or left flanks. A good player to have in your squad nonetheless...thats the difference with our team this year, being able to bring the likes of rooney, anderson and ronaldo off the bench is a luxury not many teams have and hopefully it should come in handy during the title run in

Tibs · 2nd March 2008, 16:33

If Park was just a little stronger, I think he'd have a shout at regular first team action.

The problem is that despite him making great runs, taking players on being an important person in our attack, he is often very easily knocked off the ball.

Still, Park to reunite North and South Korea, and become their president!

Ferguson · 2nd March 2008, 19:26

The bottom line is that when he has played for us he has helped create goals and scored the odd goal as well. He may not have the composure in front of goal you'd like, but he gets into dangerous positions and troubles defenses. And he's capable of some scrappy defending as well.

I know my Korean friends complain that he isn't going to secure a regular starting spot, but I think being a contributor in a team with as much quality as United has means you are among the cream of football players in the world. Koreans should be proud of Park Ji Sung. He's certainly been a class above when he's played for his country. In our squad players can look ordinary who have shone on the international level, in the Dutch league and in the Champions League. With United Park has and will collect silverware which no Asian player before him has collected in their career.

surf · 2nd March 2008, 19:40

Is Park the only Asian player to have collected a league winner's medal in England?

Classy Cannon · 2nd March 2008, 21:20

When it comes to playing short balls to runners into the box Park is brilliant - very clever player!

Ruud_boy_10 · 12th December 2009, 20:07

Did he complete a pass today? Is he a defensive winger? Because I don't think he contributed anything to our attack. Seems like a nice guy, but had Nani given that kind of performance he would have been slaughtered on here.

yes...he's defensive winger imo. with evra passing him at every moment someone had to cover for him.

Red Pavan · 12th December 2009, 20:10

Was he that bad? Jesus christ.

Since he never needlesy gave the ball away all the time then I'd doubt he would have been slaughtered.
