feck that. We're in a title race here, play our second best player when he's fit. If that was Rooney Sir Alex would have him back in a heartbeat, no questions asked....You can't just drop young as soon as Nani becomes fit. Terrible man management and no faith being shown whatsoever if he did.

It's harsh on Young but Sir Alex has done it many times before.

How is that terrible man management? It's a simple case of starting player a) because he is far superior to player b) And it's not as if Young is in form and deserving of a starting place. But it's quite clear from some peoples comments that Youngs form is in actual fact acceptable....You can't just drop young as soon as Nani becomes fit.

Agree with this, but there's no telling how match fit Nani is. You can't count the Wigan game. All of our subs looked bright in that just by running around and generally having a clue.feck that.

What story? He's our best player, obviously he'll walk back in. Nani is our second best player though, and we should be aiming to get him fully fit coming up to the City game, he loves stepping up in the bigger games after all. Despite people saying he hasn't had a great season, he's still had some excellent games against the big guns.Perhaps that tells its own story?
I don't think you can take chances with a half-fit player at this stage of the season. If he gets half an hour today and another week of training he should be ready for Everton, if needed.
Whatevaaaaaaaaaaaaa, why don't you go bum Ashley Young.Yes, it is.
Well I'm thinking that perhaps SAF doesn't rate him quite as highly as you do, or more likely, he knows we're far better covered when he's missing than when Rooney is out. Or, most obviously, he isn't physically ready for 60 or 70 minutes just yet.What story? He's our best player, obviously he'll walk back in.

We're playing at home to a really poor Villa side, he should at least be getting 60 minutes, sub him off then for Young, not the other way around.
I will, and it will be acceptable.Whatevaaaaaaaaaaaaa, why don't you go bum Ashley Young.
This is what I think it is.I'm not really bothered whether Nani plays once we get the results (as is the case with every player). Depending on how fit he is it might be that Young is a better bet early on and let Nani run at more tired legs.
Yes, but you can't drop him for today's game when Nani isn't 100% fit.feck that. We're in a title race here, play our second best player when he's fit. If that was Rooney Sir Alex would have him back in a heartbeat, no questions asked.

Yeah for a gaylord.I will, and it will be acceptable.
Me too, a 20min cameo where he can build a bit of confidence is surely better than a potentially frustrating first hour, when his lack of match sharpness is more likely to show.This is what I think it is.
I've put a tenner on this.We're going to lose 6-0 and get relegated due to the Bebe deal.
I might die if that happensBerba to come in and score a 93rd min winner
feck that, my heart couldn't take itBerba to come in and score a 93rd min winner
Why not? We don't know how fit Nani is, he's been training all week. He should start a home game against a pretty dire Villa site. He'd torment them even at 70% fitness.Yes, but you can't drop him for today's game when Nani isn't 100% fit.
The wise thing to do is what he appears to be doing...
Start young, bring Nani on with half an hour to go, hope he plays well enough to justfy to Young he should start the next game. Which is the most probable thing that will happen, and IMO the best way to do it.
I wouldn't have started Nani today.
Probably not. I'm sure he thinks he's better than Young is though, most people do.Well I'm thinking that perhaps SAF doesn't rate him quite as highly as you do, or more likely, he knows we're far better covered when he's missing than when Rooney is out.

It's become obvious to me that with Ashley Young, the general bar for acceptable form is set to mediocre to average. Which makes what Dwight Yorke said make perfect sense.Ha! Take that Leroy, Dwight Yorke agrees with me. Dwight motherfecking Yorke!
