Well that's good enough for me! Good ol' Tony.
And most of them are by short passes and quality through balls. His crosses and corners have been relatively shit and probably on par with Valencia's. But that's not to say its a bad thing as both his corners and crossing has never been anything to brag about.He's got more assists than any other player in our team this season.
Will you let that stat go Pogue, or I'm gunna get angry with youHe's got more assists than any other player in our team this season.
It's like you're reading my mind, man.Ok, I'm doing this one more time. Nani is very important to our title hopes. So much so, that i believe Nani should be in the team everytime a certain Ryan Giggs isn't occupying the left wing.
Why?
1. Frustrating he may be, but we can't have cake and eat it too. Park is an asset when we play the really big teams. His off the ball runs make life easier for Rooney and co. But this quality doesn't quite help against the lower ranked team. Plus Its generally agreed, park is never going to be starting eleven material. Obertan isn't ready yet. Anyone who says he is should be smacked on his butt by his grandmother. He generally makes the same mistakes as Nani and yet people don't seem to look at that.
2. Even though he frustrates the hell out of the common fan and shades a few more hairs on fergie's head grey. Its still a fact that he provides atleast 2 or 3 quality balls and often dribbles past his opponent. His final ball may be lacking, but its still better quality than all of our wingers not named Giggs and capable of playing down the left.
Nani should and will play an important role in the title run in. Don't understand the reason why most of you don't see that.
For the same reason as Berbatov me thinks...*sigh*
Tell me, how many players (other than our back four/keeper) in our squad have started 6-7 games in a row over the last few seasons?
Once you've come up with that (very short) list, take a moment to think about WHY they have and why Nani hasn't.
According to who? Particularly for home games, I think squad lists from the bbc and the like are just guesses.Not in the squad tomorrow.
I'm positive about him when he puts in a good performance. Which is probably why it only happens very rarely.For the same reason as Berbatov me thinks...
Will I ever see the Pogue saying anything positiv about Nani?
Not according to the MENNot in the squad tomorrow.
MEN very often get the squads wrong, as some poster said I think most of the prematch squads given by BBC and MEN are often guess work. Personally he should be starting this match. He is very much a confidence player and Burnley aren't the greatest of sides. If he gives a good performance than who knows it might kick-start his season and in the process will also solve one of our problem in the current squad. Obertan isn't ready to start the games while Park despite being a good squad player shouldn't start against those teams who are gonna park a bus in front of goalNot in the squad tomorrow.
No, they play him in midfield. Mears plays at RB.I hope he starts against Burnley as they play that aging Alexander at RB.
Fantasy football lies Still, it means Evra should do him.No, they play him in midfield. Mears plays at RB.
He's still a good defender, regardless of age, and he's quite a tidy player; so I could see Nani struggling to outwit him on the wing even if he could outrun him.I hope he starts against Burnley as they play that aging Alexander at RB.
He is:
a) Our best dead-ball specialist (corners and free-kicks)
b) Our best long-range shot specialist.
c) Our most tricky winger.
All the above attributes help teams to win tight games. Hopefully he apologises to SAF, buries the hatchet with SAF and gets a run of a few games. We will all be suprised how well he can do.
Come on Nani.
Lottery numbers as well please!Nani will not play again for Manchester United, and will be in Italy by February 1.
You must not have seen anyone else take them then.never in a month of sundays
He takes the worst corner ive ever seen!
in fairness to Nani he is not on his own in the Crap Corner Takers Club.You must not have seen anyone else take them then.
gibo needs an experienced man beside him at the moment, i am still on the fence as to if he will make it at UnitedI think there's only Gibson who has taken a decent corner in recent months, but corners and shots from 40 yards isn't enough to start him.
There haven't been many.gibo needs an experienced man beside him at the moment, i am still on the fence as to if he will make it at United
SAF surely has noticed how bad our set plays are this year! i think we only scored from one corner all season!
terrible stat
Yeeeees...and if he took better set pieces he would've gotten more assists. He just needs to get the ball over the first defender.He's got more assists than any other player in our team this season.
7, 13, 19, 27, 29, 41.lottery numbers as well please!
His agent has come out and said that he'll be staying here at least until the end of the world cup just a week ago!Nani will not play again for Manchester United, and will be in Italy by February 1.
Indeed!Well there's no more honest creature than the agent I guess...
If he was trying to drum up interest for his player, surely he'll be saying Nani's open to a move. Just saying.Indeed!
I think it's fair enough, Brad, that we take everything an agent says as gospel.
he certainly deserves a chance but in saying that i have wathced him in the reserves a few times and he hasnt really stood out at all.There haven't been many.
If you think about our severe lack of set piece quality and nobody apart from Giggs laying claim to the left wing spot, it makes you wonder why Tosic has never even had a chance off the bench. He is an attacking, left footed winger who is a set piece specialist. He can't be worse than what we've had. Complete madness.
If Nani starts today, he will score.@ the OP - You're clueless.
I hope your right. I hope he plays and gets a couple of goals. The chap has undoubted talent maybe all he needs is a confidence booster.If Nani starts today, he will score.
