Frankie Goes To Hollywood did a pretty shit version on Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Unfortunately it happens every time Vidic/Brown/O'Shea are given the ball and are pressed.I've lost count the number of times the ball has simply been returned to the opposition
Hmmm... He scored against Wigan as a direct result of a long ball out of defence. Knocked it down to Rooney, who played him through. They're both better in the air then you'd think.
Obviously, nobody wants to watch route one football for 90 minutes but there's no harm going direct from time to time.
I don't think I've underrated their ability in the air. I'm well aware they're both capable of beating defenders in the air.
But I just seem to remember us losing the ball in 90% of the cases where we hoof it forward in recent games. Which unfortunately seems to be far more than just "from time to time" lately. Though that could just be because I've paid extra attention to it as it's starting to annoy me a great deal lately. We're so much better when we don't hoof it forward, I just think it's a massive waste of the talent we have on the pitch.
I've noticed it.
It comes from Smalling or Vidic having the ball and no-one in the midfield getting free. So rather than knock it backwards and forwards between each other, they hoof it up-field.
I sure hope not. I hated Romario
El Chicharito, El Chicharito!
He comes from mexico!
El Chicharito, El Chicharito
He advertises Coke Zero
Fighting on all 3 fronts, this lad will ultimately prove to be the difference I feel. Like I said in another thread, last season when Rooney got injured, our season fell apart. This season we have this young lad who's banging the goals in now, and nothing fazes him. He has no nerves, look at who he's scored against already this season, and the vital goals he's got for us.
We'd have won the league last season if we'd had this lad I reckon. He'll be of such importance the rest of the season.

That advert doesn't reflect well on utd fans.
Shit papers. All of them. Especially Record (Mexican Marca) and La Afición (Mexican The SunSports, with worse journalists).
El Informador, for instance, can't understand the difference between a quick poacher with great ability to run at the back of defenders, and a slow tall poacher who can just head the ball (very, very well indeed).
La Afición keeps thinking everyone understimate us (Mexicans), and that a man like Deschamps wouldn't do his job of studying one of our top scorers. fecking deluded twats.
Having said that, Chicharito is great. I love him.
He's told one of the OT journalists that he loves it here and wants to stay for 10 years
Best signing since........................Rooney? Ronaldo?
Vidic, Evra probably.
He's had a faster impact than those two. Not saying he's a better signing or anything, but the speed with which he has settled in is astonishing.
Best signing since Smalling.
Hmmm true, speaking of which, is there any player who had quite an impact as he's had? Rooney perhaps.
And that was ages ago.
Ronaldo made an impact in terms of being eyecatching if not matchwinning. Yorke is one name that comes straight to mind, he really hit the ground running and of course in his debut season we did quite well.
Think he is two years away from being the best striker in world football.
I think his potential is immense but we should curb our expectations a little.
Javier Hernandez has hit the gym hard to adapt to playing in England | The Sun |Sport|Football
Bulking up will probably do him good, so long as it doesn't take anything away from his pace.

Aye, lets see how he gets in his second season before we make any grand claims. The more the kid is bigged up the bigger the backlash will be if he doesn't meet fans lofty expectations in double quick time.
It didn't do Ronaldo's pace any harm, bulking up can only be a good thing for him.
Yeah Ronaldo is a prime example of it working.
I can't see him bulking up to anything close to Ronaldo's size though - he was a machine.

He's working so hard in the gym he's grown 2 years.
Ronaldo is quite a physical specimen, I don't think he has an ounce of body fat. He's not a fair yardstick and no, Hernandez will not get close to that kind of size. But generally increasing his power will certainly be a good thing.
Needs to work on his first touch, balance, and passing.
Everything else (finishing, heading, hold up play, positioning, off the ball movement) he is top class which unbelievable.

I have noticed vast improvements in these areas in just a coupla months. It's a lot about finding his place in the team, getting to know his team-mates on the pitch etc. He's clearly a talented footballer.
I might switch to Coke Zero, from Pepsi.
Why do you say that?
I think it implies Chicharito has only 1 fan in Manchester or something
Chicharito said:
Brilliant attitude.
Yeah, pretty well put as well.
nothing to do with expectation.He reminds me of certain Dennis Law in his positioning and sudden burts of speed.
If he keeps up this development....
Law at his peak...there were none better.
