Probably his and our most successful period came when we forgot all about the philosophy and hoofed the ball to Felliani playing in some unconventional playmaker striker role and letting everyone else make runs around him. Now with hindsight I'm not sure if it was an act of a genius or an...

Need to give youngsters time and support. Memphis has all the qualities to succeed in this league and just needs time and support to build his confidence and settle in. Only way he is going to develop is by playing games.

Martial of the Match.

I hope that shuts up all the wanna be accountants with their theories on why the transfer is over priced. Who cares ? Id rather have that money being overspent on players than being overspent on dividends.

And you guys were laughing at us for using Windows 95......

It was impossible for me not to like and admire Zola, Redondo, Okocha and Ronaldinho even though they never played for us. Of the current lot, Mata & Baines seem to have admirable personality and conduct.

:lol: 10/10 for the review. That West Brom and Arsenal bits are so accurate !

Just curious, why do you think Powell has a better chance ? He probably has the toughest task with Rooney, Mata, Kagawa & Adnan all competing for that one position that Powell thrives in. I think the only way he could get time in first team is if we decide to play him as a central midfielder but...

Scoring two goals in his debut last night was just an icing on the cake, the excitement mostly comes from the potential and more importantly the rate of progress he has shown over the last couple of years. He is not the type of talent that will make you go "wow" often like Adnan or Daehli but...

I've never really seen Pirlo being as advanced as Scholes(in his early days). The Pirlo/Gattuso partnership was a rich man's Fletcher/Carrick or Hargreaves/Carrick version and entirely different to Keane/Scholes combo.

There is no denying that Martinez and Rodgers have done fantastically well this season irrespective of what happens in rest of the games. However the real test will be the next season when the same set of results won't be seen as an over-achievement and the expectations may start to weigh...

You are right. I keep forgetting the existence of Nani. It's a pity that things are not working out for him for one reason or other.

True. One out of RVP/Rooney along with Hernandez, Welbeck & Wilson is good enough of a competition for one spot. That is assuming we'll be going with one striker only. One thing our attackers lack is pace with exception of Valencia & Welbeck. Valencia is still struggling for form and I don't...

Unfortunately the ones that are most likely to get a chance are all out on loan (Zaha, Lingard, Cole & Barmby).

Moyes should write a book on how to successfully alienate players. I sometimes feel Moyes lets reputation of players dictate his selection more than it should. Hernandez is one hell of a Plan B player and it shouldn't take much effort to make him feel involved. It's important we retain players...
