Stayed out wide, had a great game. Was an outlet for alot of Verons passes. Involved in every attack. :)

Not disputing whether or not he had a great game - but he didn't stay out wide! It was even pointed out during the game that Becks, and to a lesser extent Giggs, kept coming inside too much and crowding the midfield.

Beckham is class, I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but he excells on the wing. He should not come in field so much. Its very frustrating when he does.

He got alot of crosses in from the right. He set up Forlan from the right and he received alot of lond passes from Veron out on the right. Was the most I have seen him out wide in a long time.
 
"Beckham is class, I don't think anyone disagrees with that."

I wouldn`t bet on that.
 
Becks is superb.

I'd argue that he didnt have a great game last night. Two beautiful passes to set up Forlans two chances glossed over a lot of wasteful stuff, poor passing and lack of pace.

Beckham is a player that thrives on playing every game, and practice practice practice. He'll soon be back to his best, and he's definately the man to play right side of the supporting 3 in our new 4231 formation (sorry Ole)

Great to have him back.

He neither stayed out wide nor had a great game, we actualy missed Olles great corssing yesterday.
He defended well and worked hard, thats about the best i can say for him yesterday.

Bit harsh, he's finding his feet again granted, but he did create our two clear openings <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

Some players take longer than others to re-hit form after injuries.

Patience

Who set up the only goal ?

I didn't say he didn't go wide. He did venture there on occasions.

But he didn't stay there as you suggested.
 
So he was great or piss poor or something between football must be really a difficult game.
 
In his first full game back he created a few opportunities, can't really ask for more than that - shame people are now rating him on how wide he stays rather than on what he actually produces, which was more than Giggs. :(

As the first full 90 minutes match after comes back from injury, I think he played quite well already. He has stayed out wide for most of the time, assisted one goal and very nearly assisted a second goal in the last minutes. Tell me how you think of Veron's performance in this match. I can't see Veron or Giggs were any better than him. But sadly, people seems only want to have a go at Beckham nowadays and will continue to knock him until he pinned himself on the right for 90 minutes and produced a dozen great crosses in every match.
 
we have been saying the same thing all season long.

Giggs - stay out wide.
Becks - stay out wide.

we need width in the game.

<img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> said "no team plays with wings anymore, only 2 teams in the 32 WC teams had wings".

but i don't think it's a good tactic for us.. Ole kept wide in his couple of games and he produced much more than Becks had this whole season before he got injured. Any disagreements anyone???
 
becks is a top footballer.. energetic, abundant skills.. but he needs to play according to the tactics in order for us to get the most in our games.

i've changed my mind about SAF telling him to push inside, because clearly Ole kept out wide when he had his minutes on the wing.. so i think becks is surging inside on his own..

he needs to show us what he can still do for the team.

Nope, I agree, a lot. Although, I think that licence to rove is also good, if well managed, in that it prevents a stereotype defence to be played against us. But, again, it is difficult to manage 'lack of discipline'. As indeed, too much of one good thing is bad, isn't it? So, I am not so sure where I stand here. I like the licence to rove, but I agree it is tough to practise.

Although not at his best, he already showed some of the things he could do in Chelsea's match: some good crosses, won a couple of headers, ran tirelessly, one assist, and put Forlan thru again in the final minutes. Yes he was still not 100%, but he didn't perform any worse than Veron, phil or Giggs in this match, so singled him out alone for critize is totally, absolutely unfair, IMO.

He was crap, while veron had a good game. Are you a Beckham fan?
 
"Are you a Beckham fan?"

seems to be a crime in this muppet forum

The point is there are United fans who discuss the merits and failings of players and there are Beckham fans who are loyal to the ridiculous and are more fans of Becks than they are of United.This is annoying to the majority of us as we support MANCHESTER UNITED not BECKHAM UNITED.

and if I remember correctly uranushk1 slagged off Veron when he played no worse than Beckham but praises Beckham for doing the same.

If you think that "he was piss poor" is the right comment for a MANCHESTER UNITED supporter about a Manchester United player, when we don`t come together mate. By the way if you talk about BECKHAM UNITED fans, there are more KEANE UNITED fans is this forum who are loyal to the ridiculous. I´can't remember that this is annoying anyone here.
 
piss poor is a common figure of speach which describes how a player played,it doesn`t say he is crap full stop just that in the posters opinion there were many problems with the players play so that rather than state every fault its easier to say overall in this game he was piss poor.

When you have a blind allegiance to ONE player it clouds your opinions and in many cases makes your opinion invalid because everyone will just think "here he goes again I LOVE BECKS "

That goes for every player.

So now I understand (english is not my native language). But I still wonder how a player, who set up the only goal of the game, was piss poor. Wasn`t he criticized for not having enough assists this season?

Really?
Becks have been doing that since last season,
why do you think he still doing it this season.
If Becks come inside on his own all along do you think he still be on the team right now.
The reason why Becks and Ole played differently because they're different kind of players.
Ole has the speed and the ability to beat defenders, that's why he played mostly out wide.
Becks doesn't have those attributes but he have better passing and vision, therefore he come inside more often.

How about set up a winning goal? ;)

That´s the discussion, I have with some here for over a week. But even then everything else is unlogical, a few people here won`t understand it even if you repeat it 100 times.

That was probably one of the few useful things he did.On the whole he was poor.

The problem with Becks is he has been hyped up into a superhero when as a matter of fact he is only great at what he does.He couldn`t do what Giggsy does or Keano or Ruud and they can`t do what he does but at the moment Ole seems to be giving Utd what they need in that position.

Its easy to knock Becks off a pedestal because his supporters keep raising it higher,sometimes unjustly.
Like many others on here I loved United before Becks was born and will do long after he has left football.The club gets the first loyalty the players second and most Beckham fans dont get this.
Would you still play him when hes past his usefulness?

well.. if it works with Ole out wide, then why not stick becks out wide?

it gave us dimensions when Ole stayed out wide.. i won't argue about beck's visions, but as i asked in another thread.. "Will becks and Keane's return affect Veron"... are you prepared to have 3 playmakers in the team? it seemed to work wonderfully when Veron was the only 1.. why change that now..?

And yes, becks has always contributed.. eventhough tactically wrong he has always been one to push and push and push.. i don't discredit him for his efforts.. but when he hasn't done much better than Ole it won't justify putting Ole back on the bench.. wouldn't you agree?

don't get defensive here.. i'm not singling beck out.. i'm merely suggesting that tactically it may even be better to keep with Ole on the wing.. u just cannot justify putting Ole back on the bench for all the wonderful performances he's given in the last 5 games..

If becks cannot do much better over the next few games then i'd be very surprised if Ole isn't given another run on the wing.

And Veron performed much better while becks wasn't here and Ole stayed out wide.. coincidence? i think not.

one lucky break is not enough to justify a person's stay in the first team.. it's a team's performance on an overall basis that should decide who plays and who doesn't.

Becks is a great player, great efforts, but he needs to gel with this tactic.

If he can do it, i'll be the happiest person in the world.. i'd hate to see a talented player go to waste.

if Becks try to played like Ole, stay out wide, try to beat players, etc, he would be ineffective, as he have no pace.

It's still early to judge him that he hasn't done much. Just get back from injury and all. Just give him a few games to proved himself.
And to Becks and Veron, didn't this pair worked well in Europe? I don't see any reason why this won't work now, as Veron has adjusted his game to the EPL as well. Keane have told in an interview, that he would stop trying all by himself in the game. I think that could be a sign that he's ready to give the playmaker role to Veron.
All this still remain to be seen, but one thing for sure, if United want to succeed in Europe and England, they better have Beckham on the side.

i agree. good post.

it's a blessing in disguise that we now realize Ole's ability on the right wing. Becks will surely know that he cannot under perform or else his position will be under scrutiny.

I agree that it has worked in Europe.. but it also didn't look very flowing (basing my judgement on the Deportivo game where Ole played on the wing compared to other games that we had becks).

I also agree that Veron has adapted more or less to the EPL games.. this would surely help becks gelling with veron more.

If Keane can truly stay back and work hard on the defensive side i'm sure it'll work whoever plays, ole or becks.

i think we have a great player in Ole, and if we should lose becks again due to injury i still won't cross us out on winning the big trophies this season.

I totally agree at this moment Ole deserve to get a place in the starting lineup more than beckham. That's no doubt about that. Just don't want to hear people slagging off Beckham for no reason.

Beckham United? Imagine what reception will be got in Japan :D

Yes I slagged of Veron when he played consistently bad, and I have no regret about that. The point here is that Beckham is not performing a series of very bad match (actually, he has just been back from injury), so I cannot understand why people demand so much for him.

If there are someone who support a player more than United, that must be the parties of "Veron United". Take Chelsea's match as an example, what exactly has Veron done except a long pass which put Giggs thru? Yet Veron supporters are saying he played much better than Beckham, who put Forlan thru twice (and one of them result with a goal). I understand Veron supporters simple don't want Beckham to return to the starting lineup, because they afraid Beckham's return will affect Veron's performance. But for an objective United supporter, I'd rather give a more fair comment and more support to all of our players.
 
becks was indeed poor, his passing was, on the whole crap.

to say he was as good as veron is myopic... only a becks fan would say that.


beckham fans love the player more than united.........

Keep on repeating your nonsense 100 times. I´ve got more and more the impression that you are a really poor lad, unable to discuss something serious, who spends most of his sad life in this forum.
