Ask the people who saw him play every week. Cantona changed everything at United. Football genius. The best midfielder AND the best striker in Europe from 92-96 and we signed him for £1M. £1M!!!! From £#%&!ing Leeds. |

in the season or two that followed there was Ajax and Juve to contend with - both exceptional sides United may have had a great chance at their best with luck on the injury front but even then we were still tactically naive at that time. it was wrongly put down to the 'dinosaur formation' by many of the £#%&!wits in the English football media, or to poor technique. in reality it was simply a lack of real creative ideas and tactical imagination to take advantage of the other team's relative weaknesses. in short, United weren't ready and Ferguson as good as said as much by ripping it up and starting again. when you see how he built a squad to win in 99, and then built a tactical masterclass to regain the trophy in 2008, these squads are an absolute world apart from the 1994 squad. of course, put the best XI from 94 against any side in history you £#%&!ing want and they'd give them a game |

In many respects English football wasn't ready. It can't be overstated just how much the 5 year ban set us back. Italy, Spain, Holland, Germany all made giant strides with us stuck in the mire. It has taken English football until the last 5 years to get back to where it was at the time of the ban. Nearly 20 years. |

United won the cup winners cup first year back in a competition that included the spanish and italian league winners of that season and the two teams who contested the following years european cup final. English football had been technically behind the rest of europe for a long time before the ban but still managed to compete. The Liverpool, Vill and Forest sides that won in europe weren't great technical teams. They had a lot of other great apsects but I wouldn't say they riven with silky skills. I think the ban affecting our teams was a media line trotted out all to easily to fit the circumstances. |
