Rooney showed similar movement vs Wigan in the 09/10 seasonLets be fair. Rooney himself would have done nothing with Nani' cross. Chricharito showed in getting in our squad only that goal the difference between a natural finisher and other forwards. Only Owen or Macheda could have done anything with it in our entire collection of 7 forwards!

At first I read that as "Hernandez executed by United"
As Ferguson once observed about him, he made three separate runs for the opening goal.
Champions?
What a game, I have to admit I'm already missing Welbeck and his link-up play, but football is about goals and Chicharito scores them.
Is there a better finisher in the game?
That run for the first goal was pure poetry, he's playing with Cahill like a balloon on a string. Reminds me of Giggs dribbling, he's just watching the defender shift his weight and the second he does, Giggs changes direction.
Nani seems to have a similarly ruthless view of the game, they link up well.

I don't think anyone else in the squad would have, because we so rarely score at the near post. It's one of my few complaints about Rooney, doesn't make enough near post runs.
This lad is the closest I have seen to the great Dennis Law.
Cahill is pretty decent defender. He turned him inside out.
Bloody ell....

Funny when Sir Alex said something similar to that last season people thought he was going overboard. How things change, eh?
Me neither. High praise indeed..
He's got my backing to score against Chelsea again this time.
I keeping thinking of that first goal against Bolton where he absolutely owned Cahill, who was pretty pissed right after. And what a finish, most near post attempts from that angle are going to be saved.
Going to be brilliant watching him and Welbeck fighting it out to start with Rooney, hopefully for many years to come.

True but I can actually see both Hernandez and Welbeck starting on occasions with Rooney rested. Danny is very capable of dropping in behind Javier and playing the withdrawn striker role.
As is Ashley Young
Off day. Though I hope his injury is not serious.
Looked like he rolled his ankle. Was good to see him walk off the field so I'm guessing it could only be a strain.
SAF: 'Shocking tackle, ref's booked him but why wasn't it a penalty, I must ask him. We'll have to wait, his leg is very numb, could be out for a couple of weeks'
Cole could've snapped his shin in two.
Cole is a bastard. A couple of weeks isn't bad (if true) considering we still have Berba, Owen, Macheda and Diouf in the ranks.
Any news at all on the injuries ? Anything from Fergie post match ?
any chance welbeck could be fit against stoke, that be a good timing.
Welbeck's back in training as well - thought there was talk about being available for next weekend.
Disgraceful challenge by that cnut Cole, hopefully Chicharito won't be out for long.
Even better. Though I'd like to see Macheda feature soon. Don't want his development to stunt more than it already has courtesy of his mare at Sampdoria.
I'm more concerned about Smalling and Jonesy though.. I have no idea how we'll cope with Stoke without them.
Macheda has looked poor in the reserves.
Shite. Step in Mr Owen.
I am not blaming Cole there, Hernandez should have protected himself. It looked like a leg breaker to me and was very happy when I saw the contact was side ways. Could still be a fracture, shocked that they made him walk.
Strange thing is that someone broke their leg just like that at a kick about yesterday. Was similar, they just wanted to smash it in with someone charging them. There are moments when you just have to pull up.
I am not blaming him because I don't think he went to hurt Hernandez, he was trying to stop a goal scoring a opportunity and majority of defenders will charge like that at that angle
hope he is alright..
Yeah? Haven't seen the reserves in action, so I can't say for myself. Nevertheless, still would like to see him start against Leeds.
This was a perfect game for him in theory, with the high lines and end to end action.
Hope he won't be out for too long, he needs sharpness.

This is after Cole's studs went into Chicha's shin.
Really ffs
you what????
All a fecking yellow card does is protect Cole from any further sanction. fecking joke.
I said the same thing in another thread.
That's a bit mental though. What should he have done, put his shields up on full charge?
It's a pity your not allowed to abuse people here....Mate, I suggest you lay off the drugs. What you said makes absolutely zero sense. Hernandez did what ANY STRIKER plays the game to do. It's unbelievable....
Silly attitude.
Exactly correct on what Hernandez did, I also see what Cole did as something any defender will do if they have a chance to stop a goal.
Oh, I am not blaming Hernandez, I just wish he would have stopped himself shot of pulling the trigger on that one. That is what I mean by he should have protected himself. A ref can not help you with a broken leg.
I hope he is alright.
Why do you feel the need to abuse me? Can you not just point out my error? Or you think I am just crazy or I am just wumming or something?
