Now that's widescreen!
I don't know. As I said, with everything that's happened he may rest Evra.
He may rest Evra for what ? We're still talking about whether he'd play him at Anfield right ?
Yeah. Bear in mind I'm only hypothesising here.
He played him last year and may feel he made his point and with all that shit and the week that's in it he may feel he should give Buttner the chance given how well he played today against poor opposition.
I guess we'll know soon enough but I'd honestly be surprised (it wouldn't be the first SAF surprises me anyway) to see Buttner start in such a big and poisonous match
Buttner on this showing could be an absolutely vital player against teams who sit back.
WTF is going on..? Lol
SA will start evra strictly because of what's happened.
He does look like a bit of a madman doesn't he?
They were ask to predict the Man City game score
Don't think so dude. If he plays him this time it will be in-spite of everything going on.
Damn what a debut game for the lad. Evra needs to be worried now and hopefully that will raise his game a bit. Brilliant goal, assist and a clean sheet.
Missed the game but what a goal, how was he overall?
Top draw full debut.
I expect a backlash here, but I initially thought Kagawa was Jet Li/Bruce Li (yes I know he's not with us anymore)
Suprised how toned he is to be fair. Oh and why the hell are they doing that?!?
Fergie wasnt as glowing in his comments about Bootyman as we have been on here. Cautiously optimistic id say.
Fergie's doing what he does best - dampening expectations and keeping the lad's head on his shoulders.
*** goal.
A ski slalom
SAF said Buttner was rash and has a lot of rough edges that need to be ironed out. He was much more glowing about Powell.
WTF are you talking about? If he has half the career of Evra we'd be delighted.
He treats every player the way they need to. Powell's a totally different type of guy than Büttner.
Büttner probably needs that sort of treatment to keeps his head cool.
BTW he isnt wrong. He was rash at times. Still a wonderful debut. I like the lad.
I mean, as he's playing right now obviously.
I know what you mean, sort of like Buttner is the type that needs "tough love" in order to keep his head on his shoulders, while Powell's more of the "shy" of the two and needs encouragement in order for his confidence to grow, while Buttner clearly has more than enough of it.
Exactly.
Evra's reaction to Büttners goal:
Everyone loves a trier
Certainly started his United career off with a high energy performance, obviously there will be much tougher tests defensively for him but going forward he was very good today.

He was awesome today, likes to dig in and try a tackle but boy does he mo forward!!! Will give Evra the kick up his arse he needs, although to be fair Patrice has played so many games without much rest for us. If he can carry on that form or anywhere near he will be a starter.

"We have to go back"
I have to agree. He has a bit of the headless chicken about him, there was one passage of play in the second half where he got the ball and literally started run around like a headless chicken. He went up the flank a bit, then round in a circle and then ran the ball out of play. He has potential to be a real cult hero, but I wouldn't fancy him in a big game just yet.
Yeah Ryan Giggs has never run the ball out of play
