Rukky - something you can't coach and that's talent. Valencia's technical ability is no where near ronaldo's, despite being a good direct winger, he is too limited. Ronaldo had so much potential, rene could only help him realise it. Valencia's inability to use left foot really is mind boggling, not even for a 5yard pass forward, some players are mainly one footed and that one foot can cause footballing threat but you enhance your game by using both, you become more unpredictable. Don't think valencia has done much training with it and he isn't confidenf with it. Too late now for him.

@ Rukky LOL
Its down down players will. Ronaldo asked Rene to train him to be world's greatest. He was right footed but perfected his left as well. Jenuzaj can be better player Ronaldo is. Powell and Zaha can match standard of his if they are willing to progress.

So, best case / worst case for this afternoon's draw? I reckon:

Best case:
Schalke
Olympiakos
Austria Vienna

Worst case:
PSG
Dortmund
Napoli

Reds, when is Rafa bound to return? Four weeks are until our game versus City and I fear for that game coz our right wing without Rafa is immobile unless DM consider to play Valencia at fullback and bring on a flare winger in the likes of Zaha or Nani

Sure ronnie is superior player talent wise and overall but like RedEric said its up to player will. I also agree with you that its kinda late for a change in his game at 27. Well rightback will be perfect then; imo he could the best attacking fb in world if he decides to switch positions

You can't only train someone to be the "world's best", you either have the talent or not but desire plays a part in how far you can go.

Rukky - He can play 2nd fiddle to rafael then. United have valera and vermijl coming through, we are firmly stocked up.

I believe we are one play shy from being world beaters. Atleast we can handle Napoly if not PSG. Dortmund not far away neither. Remember that we may lack quality but we will never lack spirit. That alone keeps us up with the best

Hahaha the FA doesn't even try and hide the fact that they fix this shit. Under Sir Alex it was ALWAYS a tough run in at the end cos they knew it'd be tight. Under Moyes they hit us with a fucking horrible start to the season to try and knock us out of the race early and now it looks like we are getting premiership teams in every round of the cup again. What a bunch of sour cunts. Lets rub it right in their fat fucking faces and clear up this season and shut that cunt Mourinho up along the way eh.

Sure what you say and in Ronnie's case, talent and technique were there, Rene worked to guide and perfect his abilities to the level of his desire

Don't believe all the rubbish you read about Kagawa and Chcha moving away....the media's full of this kind of shit just to fill out space and draw readers. They have already linked us to every player on the planet, all of which is bullshit!!

Home draw, that's all you can hope for.

Against lfc? So fucking what? They're ripe for the picking. I'd rather play them, than some lower-league cannon-fodder. Gotta love a cup-tie that gives us the opportunity to crush the cunts in our own back yard.
