MANCHESTER UNITED

Van der Sar -6.5: Another very easy evening for the veteran Dutchman. Aside from the penalty, the only save of note Van der Sar had to make was a 20-yard shot from Van Persie at 3-0.
O'Shea -6.5: The hero at Old Trafford, O'Shea was steady if not spectacular at the Emirates. Occasionally troubled by Nasri, the Irishman did almost all that was asked of him.
Vidic -7.5: Won everything in the air, and breezed through the evening without even having to get out of second gear.
Ferdinand -8.0: Once again marked Adebayor out of the game. Ferdinand and Vidic, if it was not already obvious, are the best centre back duo in the world.
Evra -8.0: Won every single duel against Walcott, and did not give the Englishman a kick. Back to his best after a shaky spell around a month ago.
Fletcher -7.5: Plenty of bite in the midfield, which helped Man Utd. overpower Arsenal in the middle-of-the-park. Harshly sent off when he clearly won the ball, and will now miss the final.
Carrick -7.5: Again showed his opposite number Song how you should play the midfield holding role. Did not waste a pass.
Anderson -8.0: One of the most under-rated players in the Premier League. He is world class, and the most important player in the centre of United's midfield.
Ronaldo -9.0: If he has underperformed in big games the last few seasons, the same cannot be said this campaign. Ronaldo has scored in every knockout round, and tonight blasted home two goals, as well as making Park's first. Man-of-the-match.
Park -8.5: Lots of energy, Park never stopped running for his team. A superb finish after just eight minutes that all but ended the tie. Involved in the third goal too, making the pass to Rooney.
Rooney -8.0: Linked up intelligently in attack, and provided the assist for Ronaldo's second goal. Almost scored himself with a beautiful curling shot. The best player in the Premier League this season.

Subs
Giggs 6.5: A few tricks and flicks, but nothing to get too excited about.
Rafael 6.0: Held his position.
Berbatov 5.5: Made little impact.

it depends on d season u r talking about ,if u r talking about d 2007/2008 season ,den I can confidently tell u dat giggs/Nani n sm times park plied dia trade on d left wing ,in '09 Ryan giggs was our primary left winger alongside Nani who switched to right whenever c.baba was suspended or injured ...in 2010 we had Nani n Valencia as wingers ,in 11 d same ,when Valencia was injured ,Nani switched to d right n giggs/park played on d left(park played in d midfield on occasions not always) ,in '12 we had young n Valencia/Nani ...


below are some of our typical formations from '05 downwards ,u still hv nt given me enough proof dat Rooney played many times on d wing except statements dat mean absolutely nothing ...sorry d images r not opening ,but check out our different formations on sharemytactics.com ,there u will see dat ,like I said b4 ,Rooney rarely played on d wings

Something must have gone wrong recently. All our players suddenly became the laziest in the world. I think the famous SAF backroom staff should take bulk of the blame.

Na only Rafael and DDG we fit talk say dem no become lazy.

* How can you vouch for the old ones when the current ones dont reflect the reality. Hope you wont come in 5 years time to tell us RVP played in midfield based on these charts?

* The charts don't tell anything. The matches they were used were not stated for further verification. I can make up charts and labelled them 4-4-2 Man United 1930 formation.

* These charts look to have been prepared by the websites users, just as people use naiaraland. The users are probably the worst United fans out there considering their charts for 2014/15 season.

* What exactly does this website stand for? What is their mission? What is their purpose? Who are they?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:35pm On Feb 02, 2015
I actually was expecting to see a link or charts telling us Man United played 4-4-2 24 times, 4-3-3 xtimes, etc. Then they will state the players mostly used in positions.

Bros this one no fly.

Your formation na mamaput draw am. grin

Does your formation tell how many times Rooney played as a second striker? When you were making kpakpakpakpa this afternoon like an hungry parrot, I think say you get info from credible source. You even dey argue with articles I submitted from several sources corroborating one another.

* No one will be able to tell how many matches Rooney has played in the wing because there were no credible tactics websites tracking these info in the past. However, during the course of arguments more facts will be coming out. I submitted an article on this thread where it was stated categorically that Rooney was played dominantly in the wing in 2004/2005, 2005/2006. He played more in one of those seasons, but I cant remember vividly which. The article was very specific with details.

* In all your argument, you have not mentioned such strikers as Alan Smith and Luiz Saha in 2005/6. Smith had 15(6) matches while Saha had (12/7) matches.

* iN 2006/7 we brought Henrik Larsson on loan for two and a half months.

Manchester United
Rooney made his debut for Manchester United on 28 September 2004 in the UEFA Champions League against Fenerbahçe, scoring a hat-trick and also an assist (the match finished in a 6-2 win for United). For the 2005-06 season, Rooney initially started playing in wider positions than his more favoured central role. Eventually, after Manchester United's poor run of form early in the season, Sir Alex Ferguson moved him back to his stronger position, playing behind Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy as a second striker. He got his first professional Winners Medal in the 2006 English League Cup. He was also named Man of the Match in the League Cup final against Wigan Athletic, after scoring two goals in the final (a 4-0 victory for United), en route to winning his first senior medal. He was also a member of the United side defeated in the 2005 FA Cup Final by Arsenal. He captained Manchester United for the first time in a home Champions League match against Copenhagen on 17 October 2006, becoming probably the youngest captain in the clubs' history.

Rooney played behind saha who relegated Nistelroy to d bench until he was injured . Alan smith? dude was an injury player n even when he started playing ,nistelroy was back from injury n he was relegated to d bench n eventually pushed to d midfield ,d position he still plays today ,what r u trying to get at? u still haven't proved dat Wayne Rooney mostly played on d wing in his united career ...




You know what? am done arguing n I will no longer comment on dis issue again cos it's baseless n u hv nt proved anything as of yet ,only pointing out few matches u scrounged up from d net. bye

Rooney never started his career on d wings ,his first game he played as a supporting striker ...

* You are showing us match report of one single match. It is useless to the argument.

* How was Nistelrooy a back up to Saha when Nistelrooy played 35 league matches?

Nistelrooy 28(7)
Smith 15 (6)
Saha 12 (7)



Anyway I don't blame you too much. You learnt your football from a very wrong source- a website run by American obese kids.

I never wanted to answer u but it seems dat d alomo bitters u r drinking is really bitter ...I never said Nistelroy was Luis saha's backup ,I said he usurped his first team position b4 getting injured n besides nistelroy played 35 league matches doesn't mean he started 35 matches ...

Your responses are too disjointed. First you said Saha relegated Nistelrooy to the midfield and bench.

Now you said Saha returned from injury in Novenber 2005 to be first choice striker. So how come he was only featured in 12 starts and 7 subs?

I will find time to xray 2005/2006 season for you. It will take time but I can make it if i am determined. Look at how I have given you a line up. I can give you all Saha matches,even all matches that season. The line up above suggests Rooney was in the wing.
