you're such a childish tit aren't you? Really weird how you're incapable of having a normal conversation without getting on your high horse. |

I was making a point about unfairly maligned players who get it in the neck because their face doesn't fit - & agreeing with dunk that sadly a lot of the time that tends to be lads who have come through the ranks at United. |

so come on, what exactly was anderson's contribution during his last 3 or 4 years of getting £100k a week? |

Last summer was a step in the right direction, albeit Zlat is a temporary solution and Pogba and Mkhi still have it to prove. |

Jonny Evans biggest problem was that he needed a run to settle down, once he'd had a run of games he was good, but if he was just getting odd games here and there you could see the nerves in his game and he looked shite, I suspect there's an element of that in some of our centre halves now, if we could settle on a first choice and stick with it for more than a couple of games it would start to look better (having said that I do think the dooming about our defence on here is massively overstated).
Got to watch Schneiderlin for Everton through a works thing a couple of weeks back, he looks a completely different player he keeps them ticking over, he looks like the player we thought we'd bought from Southampton, and honestly I don't buy it being all the shirt, I think he's just playing for a manager that appreciates him and that's brought his confidence back. |

Looked stage-frightened from his first game for us. Had one or two decent matches but looked a guy out of his depth. Shame because he's a good enough footballer and a strong athlete. But it has to be there mentally or you've no chance. |

Evans had a good pass on him. Remember the home game against Arsenal in 2012-13 where he was pinging the ball around for fun. He had a lot of natural talent but agree with others that he needed a run of games get going.
There is a level of apprehension you should heed when reading these comments from fans of other clubs. For example Michael Keane - who I do rate - gets lots of plaudits for his defending. But he plays for a team who do a lot of defending. So his strengths are magnified [toughness, no nonsense defender] while any weakness can be hidden. Jones and Smalling would look more impressive if their game was simplified to "sit deep and put your body on the line" and they have the comfort of midfielders making up the numbers at the back. At Utd and most big clubs you're expected to be on the front foot so their limitations on the ball are clear for all to see and they're left to look after themselves out of possession...which they aren't good enough to be able to. We won't have another Rio who could play from the back and defend 1v1 situations comfortably but that's the marker of a centre back for a top team. |
