He must be wondering what he has to do to start a game, playing with RVP is like playing with 10 men at the moment.
I thought Fletcher had picked up some serious pace when he burned past Chambers... Oh that's Wilson.
What if someone pulls his gum out and sticks it up his arse? How many packs of chewing gum does it take to fill me anus?What if he goes into an aerial challenge, lands awkwardly and chokes on the gum?
Your anus? Only one way to find out, mate.What if someone pulls his gum out and sticks it up his arse? How many packs of chewing gum does it take to fill me anus?

Very self assured.. but then again so was Kiko Macheda. He's a darn sight superior to Kiko though.Is he the least nervous person in the world? If he had gone into business instead of football, he'd probably go on to run a massive corporation or something. Mighty impressive for such a young lad.
Agreed. It's not just any old games he's putting him on in either. He's come on against Everton, Chelsea, City and Arsenal now, twice even when we've been defending a narrow lead and the easy option would've been to go for someone more experienced.Wilson seems like he can better handle being isolated up front than van Persie would be. Given how often van Persie's been isolated up front in the last few matches, I'm not surprised that he's been ineffective. Wilson's more used to being isolated up front than van Persie is, who's always at his best when he has support around him. Even in the U-21's, when our midfielders were too deep in certain matches last season, Wilson did a very good job by himself up front, continuously causing problems to the opposing defenders with his movement, pace, and energy. His dribbling's also fine and is needed when he's isolated and without much support.
van Gaal continuously giving him chances means that he rates Wilson. I won't be surprised if, in the near future, he'll give Wilson his shot whilst moving Falcao and/or van Persie on.
Plus Kiko was sort of cocky, whereas Wilson's just quietly unflappable. He doesn't act massively confident off the pitch, he just shows it by rarely missing an opportunity when he's on the pitch.Very self assured.. but then again so was Kiko Macheda. He's a darn sight superior to Kiko though.
Think it has more to do with RVP being close to useless this season in this situation.Promising young player, but can't quite shake the suspicion that much like Januzaj, he's developing a small legion of fanboys who are already inflating him to be something more than he is - which is a promising youth player.
Rooney works well with every strike partner, to be honest, from big, strong target men to false 9's like him.In terms of styles, he and Rooney ought to make an excellent partnership on paper. He'd provide everything which RVP is so egregiously lacking at the moment.
Yep, it's tough to see what worse he can do to RVP right now anyway.Think it has more to do with RVP being close to useless this season in this situation.
True. It's possibly his strongest asset but maybe also the reason why he's never quite been seen as a standout global talent - because he always tends to bend his game to whoever his partner is (RVN, Ronaldo, RVP etc), whereas the top strikers force managers to build teams around them. It's a rare quality in a top player though, and it's been crucial to our success throughout his career here.Rooney works well with every strike partner, to be honest, from big, strong target men to false 9's like him.
The problem is that he's had three or four games now to try and play himself into form, and it's not happening. The whole point of having other quality options (Mata, Rooney alone up front, Wilson, Falcao when he gets fit) is that we don't have to persist indefinitely when a player loses form.It's a tough one, he's definitely ready for a start and would give us a different type of attacking outlet. On the other hand, we desperately need to get RvP a goal and get him firing and in form.
First time I would agree, we need to see what Wilson starting does for our attacking play.
That said, RVP again got next to nothing in terms of service yesterday.
Januzaj is a lot more than just a "promising young player".Promising young player, but can't quite shake the suspicion that much like Januzaj, he's developing a small legion of fanboys who are already inflating him to be something more than he is - which is a promising youth player.
He's no longer a youth player, I'll give you that.Januzaj is a lot more than just a "promising young player".
Who would you play as the 10?Wilson should be broken in over time. Rooney should be number 9 not number 10
Personally I'd play Herrera or mata but LVG doesn't appear to like themWho would you play as the 10?
It's hard to tell re Herrera as he was first choice until the injury. I think at present I'd prefer him there then Mata as he's a bit more dynamic.Personally I'd play Herrera or mata but LVG doesn't appear to like them
Agreed. Its his best role.Wilson should be broken in over time. Rooney should be number 9 not number 10
Then again dirk Kuyt was key in his dutch team so that prob says more about LVGIt's hard to tell re Herrera as he was first choice until the injury. I think at present I'd prefer him there then Mata as he's a bit more dynamic.
Mata, though putting up good stats, doesn't seem to fit in with the speed of game LvG is looking to implement.
Don't be silly. Van Persie was never known for his pace or dribbling. He has been in decent positions and has hit the shot straight at the keeper a few times. He's out of form, not declining dramatically. He'll play top level football until he's 35, I have no worries about that.I'm tired of people using this as an excuse because RVP is failing and is in a blatent decline,
all the worlds top strikers make their own luck by beating their man with pace, beating their man with a dribble, getting themselves into goal scoring positions and if they get a chance they'll take it. RVP used to have these attributes but for some reason he has lost everything that made him good and now he's a hindrance more than an asset.
Wilson has been scoring for fun in the reserves therefore for the next 2 games which honestly we should be winning wilson should be starting ahead of RVP and we can see what he can do, who knows maybe the rest will do RVP good too.
Well a bit better than you Angelo, sorry to have to say that.You are still fantastic though.Seems very cool under pressure and holds the ball up brilliantly, distributes it well and has good pace... What's his shooting/heading (scoring) ability like?
His shooting with his left foot is his best ability probably. Can score from virtually any position and always seems to know his angles.Seems very cool under pressure and holds the ball up brilliantly, distributes it well and has good pace... What's his shooting/heading (scoring) ability like?
