The only time I remember him using his head was when he stupidly stuck his head on that Ronaldo goal for Portugal that was subsequently ruled out for Nani being offside when it was going in anyway.

Yeah, remember that. was a fkin brilliant goal that till he spoiled it.
Ohh and he used his head to set Kuyt up last season..
His goal against Basle at Old Trafford was a header, wasn't it?
That was Young mate

Racist.

you thinking of Young?edit:
His goal against Basle at Old Trafford was a header, wasn't it?
no it was Wellbeck the other black forward.
It was actually Ashley Young who scored the header, the other other black forwardHis goal against Basle at Old Trafford was a header, wasn't it?
That was Anderson mate.The Basle goal? you're getting him confused with DioufHis goal against Basle at Old Trafford was a header, wasn't it?
You mean it wasn't manucho?
Hopefully he'll rock up at Anfield in 'point to prove mode' having handed Kuyt a goal on a platter and then being savaged by Carragher last time out.
He's been in fantastic form so far this season.

Most exciting player in the league on current form.
He is unstoppable.
Still has tendancy to shoot instead of pass in obvious passing situations but with his insane crossing and finishing with both feet it's really hard to critisize his game.
I honestly think he can beat his man better than anyone besides Messi these days.
He made Chelsea look like amateurs.
Should have started at Wembley. He will start every big game from now on I am sure. He has consistently delivered in big games.
Excited to see how he and Ronaldo will do at Euro 2012 too.

Agreed.
Insanely quick feet, tricky dribbling, finishing with both feet, feck me.
Every time he gets the ball I expect him to beat the first man on him.
Too inconsistent.
Nani has 9 goals and 7 assists for United and Portugal since the end of last season. Ashley Young has 7 goals and 11 assists for United and England in the same time frame.
Running him pretty close.
Running him pretty close.
They have been run close in the stat factor for quite a few seasons now.
I'm just so happy we have both, I love them like my sons and I'm not a father.
It's a beautiful thing to have both in the same side. Two world class wingers in every sense of the word.

Its great and they've been key to our productive start to the season, but people were already saying the same about world class wingers last season.
With good cause.
Nani's been getting deserved plaudits for last season's performances but the bright start to the season from Young and Nani, combined with our injury problems at RB, means people are already forgetting the impact Valencia had last season playing on the wing.
Yep, he was fantastic. If being ultra critical though, he went missing when it absolutely mattered in the Champions League final. He had a shocker.
Don't they usually play on different sides of the pitch...
!!Seriously though give me Cleverly back and let me enjoy
!!Seeing as someone as talented as Cristiano Ronaldo did exactly the same thing - when we played the same opposition at the same stage of the same competition - I wouldn't hold that against him.
Ronaldo scored in the champions league final?
Against Chelsea! Against Barca in Rome he didn't do all that much, just a few shots from insane distances.
Indeed.
Bearing in mind how comprehensively Valencia made Cashley his bitch the last time we played Chelsea in the CL, I think it's save to say he'd enjoyed playing them in the final a lot more than he did playing Barca.

Ronaldo's downfall in the CL final is that he tried to win itall by himself at times. It was like going back to when he was an 18 year old.
He wasn't doing it all season, the cl final came and his mentality changed. He wasn't playing like that vs Arsenal or Porto.

As I said, was ultra critical... Didnt think Ronaldo played as badly in Rome as Valencia did at Wembley!
Yeah Valencia was worse, but Barca as crazy as it sounds, was a much better team than in 2009.
That's not crazy, they really are far better now. Scary.
Ashley Cole has been gang-raped by our wingers. Valencia last season, Nani this season. Poor guy.

Id disagree with that, they are a million miles better now. 2008, they werent quite as good....
I believe you are in fact, agreeing. Learn your negatives and positives!
Damn misread it! I thought he said 'Barca were a better team in 2009' which was a random comment!
Just ignore me, im having one today!
Ronaldo was one of our better players in Rome. He was one of only a few that did their absolute nut to win the game. He may have tried to win it on his own, but he has bugger all support from the likes of Rooney and Carrick.
He was shite. Selfish, petulant and ineffectual.
A mixture of both appraisals if that's possble.
Tough crowd if thats 'shite'!
