That's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.Nope. Plays on the left so Rafael can play on the right.

Lahm was brilliant on the left. Even when he was youngThat's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.
His right foot is his favoured done but judging by the balls he put in tonight he has a good left foot on him.That's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.
I didn't mean that I thought he was better than Evra as heclearly isn't. I just meant that I think that he certainly has the potential to be just as good.Wouldn't go that far, good performance tonight though
Irwin.That's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.
Mr. Irwin...That's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.
Yes I think it was. Hopefully we'll see him against WH, doubt it will be against Blackburn.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this Fabio's first full 90 minutes of competative football for the first team? It's about time that he got that under his belt. It's scary what potential he and his brother have got.
Wasn't he Brazil's top scorer in some World Cup?His versatility makes him such a useful full back. Tonight I thought he looked comfortable against Rangers. They hardly attacked but whenever he found himself in a potentially tricky situation he handled it superbly. You can see that he obviously prefers to use his right foot but he's developed his left to such a degree that it's quite accurate as well.
I just want to see him get more games because he has some catching up to do with Rafael. Fabio is developing into a competent replacement for Evra and is only gonna get better with time. I could see him potentially being more effective than him in the box because he has a history of goalscoring.
He even still has the curly hair that Rafael had back when he was playing the same way, it's uncanny really.It's amazing the similarity to Rafael.
He's exactly the same player as Rafael was before he played enough first-team football to take his defending to the next level. Basically he's the same player as Rafael was a year or two ago.
Well, I say "amazing" but they are twins tbf.
Yup the U-17 World Cup if i'm not wrong. Scored from a bicycle kick and 2 free kicksWasn't he Brazil's top scorer in some World Cup?
Has Raphael 'bulked up' a bit more that Fabio?
Not that it's necessarily an advantage anyway, but it looks that way a bit to me.
He hasnt bulked up the way Rafael has though has he?
Rafael looks 10 times bigger than him now.
Dennis Irwin was right footed...That's really against him, a left back has to be left-footed in my opinion.
Strange thing is that Cnut repeated a post of mine earlier, but I didn't realise I was repeating yours, oh well.
wtf is all this poaching shite?The twins, Smallingbauer and Evans could be our back 4 for the next decade if nobody poaches any of them, now all we need is a good young goalkeeper and we're set.
So you're saying there's no chance that one of the twins dreams of Madrid/Barca? God I hope you're right.wtf is all this poaching shite?
We've had one player leave us, after a massive contribution and for a massive profit. Live with it.
I said only one player ever has, and that after a massive gain to us.So you're saying there's no chance that one of the twins dreams of Madrid/Barca? God I hope you're right.
Smallingbauer.The twins, Smallingbauer and Evans could be our back 4 for the next decade if nobody poaches any of them, now all we need is a good young goalkeeper and we're set.
My original point was that we've potentially got a back 4 for the next decade as long as we can keep them here, which you reacted to rather strangely.I said only one player ever has, and that after a massive gain to us.
See the difference?
A point which I didn't argue with at all, a joyous thing that it is.My original point was that we've potentially got a back 4 for the next decade as long as we can keep them here, which you reacted to rather strangely.
If we put this young defence out there, then I'd rather an old old head to calm them down. But I see your point.The twins, Smallingbauer and Evans could be our back 4 for the next decade if nobody poaches any of them, now all we need is a good young goalkeeper and we're set.
It's a cnutish situation certainly, but the reality is that players hold all the cards and Barca/Real are very tempting for anyone. So I can't say with any certainty that we can hold on to all four of those young defenders for a decade, therefore I added the proviso "if nobody poaches them". So all in all not very controversial!A point which I didn't argue with at all, a joyous thing that it is.
I took issue with the 'poaching' though, it's one step from saying 'He's off to Real' every time a United man does anything good at all. Which as a United fan deeply pisses me off, and I find a very cnutish thing to say. If that's strange, so be it.
