Park Ji-Sung received a battering from RoM readers on the live blog last night for his performance against Valencia.
Our midfielder has today recognised that he isn’t playing very well.
“I am not satisfied with my performances this season,” said Park. “I don’t know why my performances have not been good. Maybe I was not ready for the season. But mentally I have been weak and I have to improve. In the first-half last night my performance was bad but at least the second was better.”

Man Utd News 24/7
good that he figured that one out soon…now get back to your best parky!
Its time Fergie played Fabio, Obertan or Bebe on the left
Park provides no creativity
If only we signed Ozil, (sigh)
Apart from Scholes. Berbs is our most creative player. He is wasted as the lone striker. Time for OWen or Chico to start
Park’s performance yesterday was everything I cannot stand about him…Wasted time on the ball, no creativity, ended up on his arse ALL THE BLEEDING TIME (as usual)…I do not say this about many United players but I think its time he moved on…Discuss..
sayidd – For fuck sake man, how many times are you gonna bang on about Park. Bet you were quite happy with him at the Emirates in Jan or against Pirlo in Milan. Like the lad says he isn’t firing yet. He WILL start as thankfully Fergie does actually rate him.
We DIDN’T sign Ozil did we?
Bebe to start? Oh come off it pal
nobber – Park serves a purpose but like HE says he isn’t fit. He won’t be going anywhere mate.
@n0bber
He is a good squad player, who is useful against Arsenal, and that;s about it
I would only use him to kill a game off
He doesn’t have any creativity. We are better off recalling Cleverly
No worse than Anderson. Anderson was fucking awful last night. no pace gave the ball away every touch.
Didn’t seem to want to run lazy as hell. Same with Carrick, I think every pass he made was to a Valencia player.
He was terrible last night, slow, weak and cumbersome, seems to get in good positions but messes it up, devoid of ideas at times which comes to my conclusion that he is not a winger, lacks pace or trickery, last positional awareness or passing range to play central midfield, he plays well in a three man midfield.
Sure he can improve his performances but sooner or later, the likes of bebe, obertan even welbeck will storm ahead of him, he is a substitute at best.
@RedDeviled Egg
Yeah carrick and ando had wayward passes, but Ando has been out since February, and Carrick hasnt started a proper game since Bayern
Park is supposed to be creating for us…..but respect for admitting he isn’t fit yet
@King Eric
We wont know how good Bebe is unless we start playing him. He can’t do worse than Park. At least he is willing to run with the ball and whip crosses into the box
I don’t think Park stood out as a bad player. I thought all of our midfield was pretty ordinary, what Park did that stood out was that he got into opportunities with the ball and then things went wrong. He did enough right so that his shortcomings were more visible. Did anybody have any complaints about Carrick, or Fletcher or Anderson? No, because you’d have needed to be Sherlock Holmes to even detect that they were on the pitch, much less doing anything wrong.
I’m not sure what the groupthink is regarding the Valencia game but, though we won and it was a great result, we were second best. I’m not going to say Park was blameless but I think it’s harsh to expect him to fall on his sword for a team effort that was pretty well over-matched for the entire game. I thought defensively the lads were great, but I think that we really struggled to get the ball into attacking positions, we set up with the 4-3-3 and it seemed like we were losing the battle with the middle three.
Kudos to Park for taking responsibility, that’s part of what has always made him such an asset to the team and such a hard worker. I just hope the rest of the lads who came up short don’t think they are off the hook just because he’s stepped up to take the heat.
All that said though I do think, despite having to in effect win the game from the back foot, it wasn’t a really awful display. Early in the season, lot of players not had much match time, could have ended a lot worse and we won’t get too many harder fixtures this year.
Also, just an aside, was it just me or did that pitch look a bit crappy? Seemed to cut up a lot, the ball seemed to bobble on it and I noticed a lot of our passing on the floor was laboured, either going short or too long. That’d explain some of the problems, though it didn’t seem to stop the other team charging down the wings and firing crosses in.
Never liked Park i’m afraid. Wouldn’t cry if he left.
Park is a great squad player. I’d like to see obertan or bebe on the left from now on though. Still love park!!!!
park hasn had the best of times of late but its good hes stepped up and admitted it. he is wasted on the left i think SAF needs to trust obertan or even dare i say it bebe on the left they are used to be in on the wing parks much better in the middle. i thought ando did well his cardio was good surprising me since he hasn played hardly in months. welcome back rio he was collossal with vida. evra didnt play well either his postioning was awful and that pains me to say coz he is an amazing united player
Rafael was great last night hes improved on his defensive which was more my worry about him motm for me
I was so frustrated with most of our players yesterday but actually I think that by putting both Ando and Carrick together in this kind of game, since they haven’t played much/at all this season, was a mistake by SAF… one option would have been starting park in central mid and having Chico on the left wing.
We were slow, nervy on the ball, week in posession and frustrated. But then again… isn’t it this one of our specialties? Coming up with the goods allthough playing like crap for 75 minutes of the gam?.
This was an important win and a well needed game for some of our players, let’s kick on and thrash Sunderland!
I don’t understand how Obertan or Bebe would play better right now. Attackingly, they could be a bit more unpredictable than Park, but did anyone realise last night that Park had a defensive job to do as well? Didn’t notice Migel get high up the pitch on many occasions. Could Obertan or Bebe do that?
Anyway, since Park identifies the problem, that’s all I need. I am sure that when the crunch games arrive next spring, he will be there to play his part as he always does. I wish fans wouldn’t be so hard on a guy who has been here for 5 years and has done a good job in a lot of big games.
Plus, as rachreddevil said, left wing isn’t his best position.
and fucking hell. it piss me off to no end when people start plucking FM players out of think air. akinfeev, benzema, quaresma are absolute shit in the real world. correct me if im wrong but ozil is in the first 11 at this virus of a club which is having difficulties scoring goals currently.
Agreed with Costas. Park has been relatively consistent throughout his time with United. I always vouch for him because I feel he’s a tremendous asset to the squad. I will agree that he isn’t in the best of form lately, but c’mon… At least Park is coming out saying he understands what’s happening, and he isn’t happy with that.
I’d be more than happy for him to start against Sunderland. Lesser opposition than Valencia which would be able to A) give him minutes on the pitch, and B) provide more confidence for the guy.
I’m with you Three Lungs… you go right ahead.
Agreed, Park didn’t play well. But I am actually very positive about the game. What we did was set up a very functional defensive unit. It wasn’t 10 behind the ball, it actually was a working 7 man defensive unit like we haven’t seen all season. Criticize Carrick Anderson and Park all you want, but once we settled, Valencia only got a rare look inside the box. Think they had one shot all day. Why, because Rio wasn’t letting Evra and Rafael go walk about, and the midfield was covering very well, tracking back. I was pretty frustrated after the first half, but then I started to see the positives. It was especially evident in the 15 minutes or so before our goal. Valencia upped their tempo and started to attack. They still came up with zero because we had a very effective unit of defense. The lads worked their socks off as well. Set thinks up for fergies brilliant substitutions to get Chicho and Macheda on.
All in all, I was actually was very pleased with Carrick and Anderson for the work they put in. Might not expect it. Still along way to go, but a very very positive outing. As was posted on other threads. Only the 2nd win in 19 tries in Spain. Only the first goal since Ruud vNR put one in against the virus. If you are wondering, we lost 4-1 in madrid that day. Back on track, Park did what we have seen for the last 2 years, he was effective in a European game. That is where SAF uses him. That is where he wants to use Rafael as well. Let’s hope the strategy works better this year than last. An away win to Valencia, bit chuffed really. Don’t think many took that bet yesterday at noon time.
Now off to Sunderland. We need an away win. Let’s hope that all these lads, Rio, Rafael, Ando Carrick and Park are working their way back into consideration.
@FletchTHEMAN
*cough* We lost 3-1 in Madrid *cough*
But hey, if someone wants to see how smarter our approach towards European away games has become, this is the match they have to see. A side full of attacking talent, but we just stood there watching them for large portions of the game.
@CroneKills
The Sunderland game kind of suits him I feel. It’s one of those games where we need our midfield to run a lot. I wouldn’t have started him if we played Sunderland at home. Because in that case you have to rely on skill and unpredictability more than workrate. The problem is that until we get 1-2 wingers back in contention, Park has to feature more than he normally would have.
not good enough, never will be. no pace, creativity,end product, strength.
he wrks hard and is a decent squad player but he should miss more games than he plays
It doesn’t take a genious to work out Park is off his game. So is Rooney.
The only thing that concerns me about Park is it appears he has lost a yard or two of pace. If the dip in form is down to fitness (which he seems to suggest) then he will regain it as the season goes on.
He has always been a useful squad player, don’t think anyone can argue with that.
Also will not accept anyone moaning about Anderson. How long was he out for?
I hope these people give Hargreaves a break when he makes his return… I can see if now, Hargreaves has an underwelming 1st game back and everyone will be like… “ahhh, he’s lost it, He’s shit – I never liked him” blah blah blah blah.
Patience…
sayyid – I see united has a car. The pieces have to be right so the car is not wasted on parts it does not need. owen and hernandes are too similar to be playing because – these days teams need a striker to hold up the ball, like a berbatov or a rooney etc etc playing 2 goal poachers is a bad idea, hernandes still needs time has he gets knocked off the ball easy in the premiership. He is like nani a phew years ago. Owen I would play has his goals return has been impressive of 3 goals in 2 games he has played.
you said play fabio on the left, he is a fullback simple has that. Fullback is a different type of job than a wide players job – that is why evra is better has a fullback.
bebe we have no clue what he offers the team yet, we did not get enough time to give our two cents on this players position and possible role he has for the team when he came on for 15 minutes.
obertan has no end product, he holds onto the ball to long and he does not get in-behind the fullbacks enough, and he does not cover the fullback so he is not ready yet.
There’s a tendency to over analyze every game we play, last night we didn’t play great, but we got the result we needed. On Park, he hasn’t started the season great, but he’s a useful squad player and he always seems to score crucial goals.
we should play park in center …. find a option for left …. park in ceter can really b useful in games against basrcelona especially now that they hav villa!!!!!
So much jerking of knees going on here.
I have three points:
(i) It is very rare to find self-awareness in rich, pampered, multi-millionaire footballers. We should applaud the fact that one of our own (the captain of his country and one of the most famous players in the whole of Asia) is not deluded, and instead, recognises his poor form and vows to do something about it.
(ii) Think back to the home game against Liverpool last season. Think about how you felt when Torres scored. Then think about how you felt when Park scored the winner.
(iii) Ozil did not sign for us. Ozil did not want to sign for us, at any stage. Let it go.
@Costas
Agreed. I PREFER not to have him on the wing, but he does provide a great work ethic, regardless of the position he plays. I really liked what we did with Park in the game against Milan last term. He never forgets his defensive duties, which is something I feel Nani and Berbatov have stepped up on this season so far. Shame we don’t have a full time left winger now that Valencia is hurt.
Also, I’ve heard from a few people that Fabio is the better of the twins, and if that’s so, why not use him on the left flank? he attacks with fervor anyway! Would be a nice combo of the shorties with him and Evra (albeit a little out of sorts atm). We have the options available to us, but given the way we’ve started the season, I’m sure we’re going to go with continuity as opposed to wild cards. Even though we all know that SAF is a master at them: Kiko and Chicharito last night.
@rooney the new king
to my understanding, the Da Silva twins were raised playing midfield, and were then converted to fullbacks.
we need an ozil ban on here
@Costas, thanks for the catch. Same as the ’57 game. Something about the Bernabeu against the virus. 2 ties, 2 losses, both 3-1. The comparison in styles then and now is interesting. SAF has really worked on that.
@Williered, Aw, let us have our fun mate! Agree on Park.
I’m pretty sure if Hargreaves gets and stays fit Anderson won’t have a look into the team ever.
Nothing wrong with debate, but last nights game is gone now, we look forward to Sunderland.
@Zabberdast, good comments. Need more like this. Seen the same from Fletcher, Carrick, Berba.
Not everyones cuppa, but I like the attitude.
@CroneKills
Fergie rarely plays with 2 full backs on either wings. I can only remember him doing it a couple of times with Silvestre and Evra in 2007. It could work with Evra and Fabio. I just wonder what’s the deal with Fab. He plays one game, does well and then he is nowhere to be seen. Maybe the boy still has problems maintaining his fitness.
Agree with rtnk, Ozil should be banned from ROM.
Time to unleash the Berbatov, Hernandez partnership on Saturday.
Lets overanalyze why the Ozil deal never happened.
I have a gut feeling that Owen will start on Saturday. I hope Berba is well rested by then.
By the way, I was reading our schedule earlier today. It’s quite straight forward until the City game in November. It’s time to start putting a big run of wins together.
@Costas 17:36 Was very worried about the look on Rafaels face just before our goal. Did not look comfortable at all. Hope he didn’t aggravate his injury.
As to later comment on schedule, agree, a run of results would be welcome in settling things down. Unfortunately, teams are not fearing us at the moment, and we never get the right side of the refs. Let’s start with Sunderland. That would be our first away win.
@Costas
Yea, I don’t know what happens to him. He plays, then ghosts. It’s almost as if he gets injured each time he plays. Hopefully he can prove us wrong sometime soon. I like the twins, they provide some difference to the look of our squad. But in fairness, as far as sheer game time, i’ll take Rafa over Fabio anytime. Rafa is basically proven. I don’t understand why he doesn’t get much playing time. Maybe repercussions for his red card against Bayern last term? Surely SAF doesn’t hold grudges that way…
If only we had signed Ozil..
If only we had signed VDV..
If only we had signed Joe Cole..
If only we had signed David Silva..
If only we had all the players in the world..
LOL.
Learn to trust SAF first.
We are Manchester United.
The twins seem fragile, always picking up injuries, maybe this is why there not getting a sustained run in the team.
@CroneKills
Nah, I don’t think it’s about the Bayern game. Look at what FletchTHEMAN mentions above. In my opinion, the twins have tremendous potential, but they might have a problem with conserving their energy. They give their all in each game and they are probably not as tough as someone like Evra, Brown or O’Shea just yet. Yesterday was our toughest game of the season and if Fergie picked that game to start Rafa, it means that he rates him very highly.
If only Keano hadn’t of got old.
@Costas
Excellent point.
Rafa always seems to have great games in the CL too! So it’s understandable…
Rafael has been coming in from a run of injuries. This is one of the things that the Manager has to deal with. Confidence, injuries, proper use of the squad so that everyone has confidence and fitness. We want Rafael and Carrick, just like we want Rooney, Giggs, Scholes Hargreaves, Rio, Brown and Owen. It is a massive task to keep these guys fit for the games we need them in. Not even accounting for the lads who are buggered because of playing all summer for national teams. Anytime we loose or tie, the manager will come in for criticism. Part of the job I suppose. But honestly. You can’t play your top 11 every game. Especially when half of them are on the injured or recently injured list. The reason Rafael isn’t playing is that he has been injured, the reason Rooney isn’t playing is that he is injured and buggered. Welcome to the life of a top team managing a really quality side.
Takes a big man to admit it when you’re playing poorly, nice one Park for recognising it. Let’s hope he gets back to high standards soon.
Costas,
regarding Rafael’s limited playing time, the only reasons I can think of are the boss saving him for the business end and the boss also wanting Oshea to get games under his belt, as he knows how useful he can be when injuries strike.
Park’s staying. He had a good world cup for his country and on occasion, was handed a free creative role and delivered the goods, stealing possession up the pitch, driving forward and bringing other attackers into play etc. It’s just a pity England didn’t play S. Korea but instead met Germany, if you catch my drift.
Team last night was never intended to be attack minded but to deliver three points and selected accordingly.By the time we play game Five we will already have Ten points and the posters on here wanting this young player and that young player on the teamsheet will get that V Rangers and Valencia return games as we will be virtually guaranteed top spot in the section.So have patience you’ll likely see most get a run out in the last two section games.
..not that I wanted England to go through. I mean it would have been nice seeing Park do to England what he did to other teams – and to read about it in the English press, instead of the Ozil vankenfeisten. Pity about Antonio’s injury. I’m sure Parky would have had a bit more rest.
@xol
Yeah, for all we know, Rafael might be working a lot on his stamina and toughness this whole time and that’s why he doesn’t play often. It would also be nice to see Wes get a game every now and then.
@xol
As for Park. As far as I can remember, he is like United. He is a slow starter every season, but he comes good during the 2nd half.
Costas – for that to happen defence has to start doing their job, because if it was a normal workplace they would get the sack
and I do not know why PPL are moaning about our frontline options, they have done all they could do. Even our midfield have done their fair share, scholes giggs nani have been outstanding even though defence has had little protection, the lack of composure and calmness has been shocking
Park needs to get some studs in his boots. Then maybe he wouldn’t resemble Bambi on ice. That’s it. Good squad player, never moans and runs all day. Believe it or not Fergie looks for more than just pure talent, whether that grates with some of you or not.
I reiterate. Obertan is NOT ready for the first team by a long chalk in my opinion. Believe me. If you think Park was bad , Obertan would have looked awful. Hardly setting the world on fire in reserve games. Just been realistic as some seem to think he is ready. What does it tell you when Fergie puts Bebe in the first team squad over Gabby, having been here only a month and not yet fit?
Also why the fuck was Rentboy fat cunt Cundy discussing the topic “Have United got problems” on talkshite? Its the fucking Chav’s with their wafer thin squad that have problems. Not helped by a clown who called in as a United fan saying Carrick has done fuck all for United since his arrival. What the fuck?
I forgot about Wes. Seem to remember him coming back from obscurity in the past and getting a few goals on the far post. Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t we have a tough tackling, pacy Owen Hargreaves that slots in well at Right back?
King Eric,
just seen the Carrick bashers out in force @guardian. I pointed towards the Shield victory where we only had him and scholes against Chelsea’s untouchables.
Brooka – Yeah mate it obviously does grate with some. They would love to see that fucking Ozil who had no interest whatsoever in joining us and chose the fucking fascists. He has gone, let it go. He is now playing in a team packed full of players who cannot buy a fucking goal.
xol – Exactly mate, we ran the midfield that day. I cannot understand people. I know its all opinions but SURELY folk can see what having Carrick back brought to the team. Wait till he gets fully match fit.
King Eric – I got to say can ROM give you a medal for listening to that piece of shit of a radio station. United were ok it was their first game back for a while for players like ferdinand carrick and anderson and non of them broke down, so it was a positive thing last night. And hey we defended has a team for once this season, that is not problems that is a step in the right direction.
last nights 11 was about getting back to basics without any heart attacks, and I saw positives we had more plan B’s without rooney, in chico scoring.
Sayyid – Only good against Arsenal? How about the dippers>? Milan home and away? The Chav’s? Boro at the Riverside end of season when he scored the first in a 2-0 win to practically seal the title? He does a job and when on form does it bloody well mate.
rtnk – Cheers mate!
when ferdinand vidic carrick anderson play and all come through fine along with macheda and chico linking up, and old were these two players? 22 and 19 WOW I thought united were an ageing team
King Eric – I have no time for talkshit. I do not listen to the program, mark pogus who the fucker is called I do not blame BBC for getting rid or he leaving, he is a smug prick. I listened to one brief moment at half time, called uniteds 11 not world beaters. Yea the team is still in rehab has players get back to fitness, it has been a nightmare for injurys
Anderson was woeful? Christ sometimes I wonder if people actually watch the games or just read match reports. Ando was easily one of our better players yesterday and he had zero help in midfield. Carrick just doesnt seem to care anymore and Fletcher looks like a shadow of the player he was for us last season.
Yes anderson does give the ball away too much at times, but he is learning on the job. Plus he is actually trying to attack. Im sure you all would do flips about him if he passed the ball backwards and sideways, but not me. I like forward mminded players not guys who only look to play it safe. He is young and he will learn when to make his probing passes and when not too. But some of you guys want these youngsters to hit the ground running and never look back. Im afraid it doesnt work that way and every footballer goes thru his growing pains.
Park has got a great work ethic,lot of stamina and is a very disciplined player..with attributes like this he is way more effective in the center than on the wings..I hope everyone gets that point..he doesn’t have pace nor trickery to beat a defender so he should never be played on the flanks unless he has been deployed there for a specific reason..
with giggsy not available for a couple of weeks the options we have on the left are obertan and bebe..from what I have heard, obertan is not yet ready for 1st team action and bebe is unpredictable..so the safest option, I guess, is to play park..or give fabio a chance and see how it goes..
MJ, I like forward minded players too, but I also like balance and wouldn’t accuse a Holding Midfielder of failing to get forward, as that would open things up for the opposition to score.
Lets not forget that we did not concede a goal. Unless someone mentioned that already. Cheers!
scouse bastards just got a draw against utrecht
Obertan is ready for first team football and a simple way to prove it play him in one of the last two section games he’s only had about forty minutes premier football since he came.Forget tour games where he showed his mettle and forget last years Leeds game the whole team was shite that game get him in to sink or swim .I am positive he will swim as he has already shown.
Lets hope he has gills then.
Since when did you need Gills to swim.
He’s part Baracuda.
@King Eric
It’s funny, but we all sing Forlan’s praises to this day for making the scousers cry 8 years ago. Park does the same 6 months ago and we are busting his balls because his early season form is not good…
Not that he should get a free pass, but in a season where a lot of our lads have started slowly, I don’t know why one or two of them have to be singled out.
What a goal!!
Costas – it is what everyone calls the fickle world of football
Forget your Bayern Munich, Juventus, Ajax too, There’s only one collosal team they play in Lazer Blue, they’re gonna beat United like once upon a time, they’re gonna conquer Europe like they did in 69! tra la la la we all hate city tra la la la, la la, la la, la la.
Park is a wonderful player on his day. Only last season he scored goals in important games, including against Arsenal, Milan and the winner against Liverpool. He’s been consistently praised by the boss man and the rest of the players for his effort and for carrying out whatever task on the field that is asked of him.
He’s on a bad run right now… AS IS ROONEY SINCE HE GOT INJURED MONTHS AGO…. and that’s enough for some clearly braindead morons who call themselves United fans to call for him to move on or be replaced, or to use it as another excuse to get pissy about the lack of big expensive signings. Park will get over it, as will Wayne, but at least Wayne being ENGLISH and non-Asian won’t have the morons calling for him to be sold before then…..
@RTNK
Yep. Kind of like City playing Juventus and City being the favorites…
hey even fans are writing rooney off saying chico and macheda are the future united partnership, when I have a hard time seeing rooney a bench player in 3 years time
RTNK, I totally agree about a medal for KE!. While we are passing out medals, I would just like to commend all of the real grafters who show up on here every day and counter the crap that even our own fans dish out. Usually with a bit of humor and in an effort to educate. My hats off to a large number of you guys for putting in strong stints with little recognition. We all learn a great deal from each other and feel this is best site for that type of comaraderie. Take a bow, Scott, King Eric, Giles, DentonD, Costas, GHTT, RNTK, mj, utd, MG (when he aint smokin smack), many others old and new.
Costas – WOW shitty favourites, when I do not see any fear in shitty. They were not exactly awesome against dads army
FletchTHEMAN – hey cheers for putting my name with the greats flattered. I say some crap in general on here about players and other shit. I hate bashing players sometimes I do get frustrated when the team fucks up, but like predator says SHIT HAPPENS
Two perdictions, Rooney will come back and be a better player. Europe will whip the Americanos in the Ryder cup, yhihf.
I am still behind the great ROM users on here has they are the bench mark still but I am trying to get there
@RTNK
I’d say that the surprising thing about this is how much Juve have fallen from grace. Nothing new of course. It’s been like this for 5 years.
@FletchTHEMAN
Thanks mate. Doing well yourself. But the real fun was last season when Berbahate was at its peak. Those were the days…
*Predictions*
rooney fucked up big time, but for fans to write a guy off who is 24 and has for me well over 12 years or more playing time left in the rooney machine is a disgrace. The old saying form is temp class is permanent.
he is British and world class who can score 30 a season is priceless
FletchTHEMAN – you forgot to add willierednut to the list of great ROM users
Of course I don’t need to ask, but we have another sellout at the Wastelands right?
RTNK – I don’t want medals mate, some cash will do me lol.
Cancel Rooney’s pay rise and give it to willierednut.
Costas – Ha ha, that’ll do lovely mate. The berties 1 1 now, good goal from a star in the making, the lad Johnson.
Costas – well I have given berbatov stick and I will always admit that there has been times when I have said I want more from him. But the berbatov bashing may not come to an end if he does not score enough and we drop pts berbatov will get stoned again.
ironic shitty moaned we were all money, how they like boot on the other foot bunch of contradicting TWATS
willierednut – damn rite same here. this vid is what we all want and done music style
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S55lpWnTOZk
@RTNK
Well you were a sceptic when it came to Berba, but we know that we saw a lot worse over here. I never had a problem with sceptics since they had a reason to feel like that.
Costas – reasons were. 442 seemed to be dying at united, especially in the last 4 months of last season. berbatov seemed to be worrying about a price tag united payed for him, and he never scored when it matters and he never seemed to believe he could do it. these things this season are different for him. He is shooting more being selfish, he is using his physical size and his aerial ability he is using, he is pressuring teams from the front and he is getting in-behind defences and taking on defences, he also seems to be quicker this season also.
But I would rule trolls bashing the guy this season, if things go wrong for united this season like vince mcmahon says. I guarantee he will be the scapegoat
@RTNK
Hmm, not so sure. Not because he will win everybody over. It’s kust that things are more complicated this season. We have more options in attack and the weakest link appears to be the defence.
Costas, Touche my friend. There is a fair distance between scepticism and bile. It is very easy to read some ABU crap and then come on here and think all are going to love you for it.
Willeirednut, you are officially on the list. And no, you don’t have to thank RNTK for that!!!! I don’t have an official list to be honest, just a few that came to my head in the moment. The site is full of lads who have great attitudes. Particularly treasure those whose perspective predates mine. A real pleasure to read their pieces, whatever they have to say. Anything that shows perspective and balance.
Costas – well you maybe right. I could see rooney being a scapegoat this season has we have already seen a phew say? we have players who can replace rooney long term when rooney is still 24
I do wonder at times about this blog. Is it a space to actually slate UNITED players or support them?
Being critical at of players is fine and its our right as fans but slating them blindly is borderline awful. Like King Eric mentioned earlier here, Park was immense at the Emirates when we slaughtered Arsenal as he was when we over ran AC Milan at OT…….
Bloody hell people, every player goes through a bad patch, its our role as fans to stick by them and give them support….
@RTNK
That’s the real plus this season and who knows what kind of impact Welbeck will make in the future. Interesting point about Wayne. I was thinking today that this crap has to start dying down until the international break is over. I can’t imagine it going on any longer. He is working things out with his wife and his form is bound to bounce back over the next month.
FletchTHEMAN – No probs pal, i just like shooting the shit with fellow reds.
Costas – I am not going to defend rooney he messed up but is anyone perfect, but the media want rooneys career destroyed you can see it. They are bitter because he did not win england the world cup LOL yea like they really had a chance. What they are doing is worse than what ronaldo and beckham went through with the media, not even ferry cashley and stevie me had this kind of attention it is a disgrace to be honest.
@RTNK
That’s true. Because in those other cases, the media played their part in the summer and then the fans took it from there, booing Beckham and Ronaldo everywhere we went. In Rooney’s case, the media have been fixated on him for months. I’ve noticed that there were times that the Bolton fans didn’t care to boo him. Even other clubs’ fans must be getting sick of the tabloids.
Well it’s a good thing he admits that
Park is awesome.
Even if he were playing like Messi at the top of his game he would say he wasn’t playing well enough, which is why he is one of my favorite players.
I have faith in 3Lung.
Doubters munch cock.
Haterz can suck my dick!!
