chamotex: Giggs is old but can still produce a moment of magic.
Only thing is he would struggle in a game with a fast tempo...Leverkusen didn't play like that.
As much as I don't want him in the team...the other retards are not doing any better.
Class is permanent.

The former Everton boss was already aware he would be without Marouane Fellaini following the midfielder's red card in San Sebastian.

Michael Carrick's Achilles injury has robbed him of another senior player from his midfield ranks.

However, prior to the afternoon departure, he also had to strike a pen through the names of Nemanja Vidic and Robin van Persie.

Both men missed Sunday's draw at Cardiff, and Van Persie has not recovered from the combination of toe and groin complaints that have been plaguing him for a couple of months.

Vidic was able to train in the morning. Evidently, though, the Serbian is not fully over the concussion he suffered against Arsenal immediately prior to the international break.

"They are both injured," Moyes said. "Nemanja Vidic had concussion and Robin has a problem with his groin.

"Neither of them are long term but they are not quite ready yet."

That could mean they will be fit to face either Tottenham or Everton in the Premier League fixtures that immediately follow the German expedition.

Against Leverkusen, though, it could herald the immediate return of Phil Jones to central midfield after the groin injury he picked up on England duty a fortnight ago.

"Jones has travelled and is in the squad," Moyes said.

"It is normal to lose players to injury and suspension at big clubs.

"But we have a squad which we will be able to use and they can show what they can do."

debosky: If RVP doesn't return to fitness soon, Rooney will continue to play even if he's worn out to the bone.

coogar: he doesn't have the balls to do so.....

coogar: rooney should have made way on sunday instead of hernandez as cardiff began to take risks & were pouring forward.

a smart manager should have introduced fast attacking players to deploy counterattack tactics & finish cardiff off. moyes left plodders like rooney, valencia & fellaini on the pitch & we failed to take advantage & still failed to keep the lead.

Manchester United boss David Moyes has hinted that he will need to give Wayne Rooney a rest in the coming months.

The 28-year-old striker has featured in all but one of United's Premier League fixtures in the 2013-14 campaign, and started both of England's most recent friendlies against Chile and Germany respectively.

Moyes, however, has revealed that he did expect Rooney to play a part in both of the matches over the international break, suggesting that he will have to consider resting the former Everton star "in the next two months".

"I expected him to play in both games, but maybe for not quite as long," the United manager said. "I was hoping we could have got Wayne some time off with England but obviously Roy has to pick his teams and the games were important for him, I respect that.

"But somewhere along the line I’ll probably need to give Wayne a breather. I'll need to try to look after him as we go along. It might be the next England game against Denmark in March but I know Wayne and he will want to play.

"I've probably got another 25-30 games before that March game so it's not me saying to England give him a break in March – I think I probably need to look after him somewhere in the next two months."

4llerbuntu: ur not really bright are you? smh.

nikkykay: And wot was the worth of all the players of that North London side that got spanked 8-2 in 2011 compared to all the players of the North London side that got spanked 6-0 in 2013??
Think wella be4 u talk

1 shortblackboy: Instead of arresting d banker, the doctors of the private hospital should have been arrested......nonsense!

chrisley024: Apples n oranges! We talking abt player u're calling jersey.
We alwaz do struggle whenever he comes in especially in such high intensity game.

He came in against Arsenal n Sagna became a threat.

Gary n Scholes knew wen to call it a day but Giggs will not.

chamotex: Shey make we give you the dough?
Oya Ruudie talk

coogar: this is my problem with arguments like this.

does one good pass compensate for pot passing accuracy, inability to close down, lack of energy, lack of drive & increase in the pressure the opponents mount on our defence?

basically - i am a good player as long as i provide one or two assists & regardless of how many times i have given the ball away, put my defence into pressure, lacking the energy to track back, etc.

chrisley024: Dat's wat I was telling Ruddie but he was instead hailing his splitting pass He comes in with his bad luck. Anytime he comes in, we struggle.
But he would ask if d goal was a direct cause from him. It is his fault directly or indirectly.

He should stay away from d squad cos he's bad luck!

montelik: Donetsk 0 United 1
United 1 Saints 0
Cardiff 1 United 2
Giggs came on at all 3 of those situations, is it a
coincidence that all 3 ended as draws?


saw this online. any truth to it or pure coincidence?

montelik: 12 games in and still look totally dire attacking wise. regardless of any supposed lack of quality or failure to bring in players during the summer. this team should look a lot better going forward. one has to wonder what Moyes and his backroom staff are doing in training, match prep and tactics wise. only positive is we look more threatening from corners.

half a season gone and we look terrible going forward, both individually and team wise.

David Moyes: “I'm disappointed that we couldn't take the three points. We gave away a stupid free kick which led to the (second Cardiff) goal. But we also had a number of chances to put ourselves 3-1 up and we didn't do so, so in the end we've paid the price. That's two points dropped in this game and two points dropped in the Southampton game and that can be costly. We've got ourselves to blame."

From Eurosport-Uk

chrisley024: DM has cost us more points. His lack of winning mentality makes him to alwaz play defensive whenever 1 goal up. He should know u win games by outscouring ur oponent.

coogar: i am kinda worried though that one pass in 20 mins is what you are praising. nani in the last 20 mins with cardiff pushing forward would have destroyed cardiff or pepper their goal with shots.

coogar: giggs was poor but rooney cost us the 2 points.

montelik: Baines is guarantee January or the summer. I just hope we don't get molested on the fee like with Fellaini.

chrisley024: Abeg d guy is bad luck.
Stands one place n be making long passes.
U dont need his type when u're under pressure.

chrisley024: N wat was he doing wen he's not with d ball? How many times did he give ball away? Splitting pass indeed.

Fact is d@ we also struggle anytime he comes in or starts game. We concede most times he comes in n why DM doesn't see it is jus stupidity.

coogar: giggs gave the ball away like no man's business. yes, he made one pass to rooney after 2-2 but that was in the 93rd minute. giggs came on in the 70th minute. so one pass in 20 mins is good enough?

who does giggs scare?
players like nani, young, anderson, etc were on the bench - at least those ones would put in the shift & make the opposition think twice about leaving their back exposed. young would have even won a penalty or a freekick....



giggs does nothing for the team...
he's a ceremonial has-been. he's bad luck & not good enough to be playing ahead young players. we should get rid of him.

even martin tyler would tell you the mark of a true champion is winning even when not playing well. cardiff shouldn't be pinning us back at the death of a game if moyes was smarter with his subs.

at 2-1, moyes should have introduced more wingers. cardiff would surely take risks & players like nani, young, ando should have been used for counterattack. moyes brought on giggs......a snail moves faster than giggs.

coogar: i don't even need to get into moyes and his daft substitutions. a match that is yet to be won & giggs was his weapon of choice - giggs managed to contribute nothing in the last 20 mins.

elampiro: If it was not so unethical as you guys make it sound, why did he apolgise? Although he had already done the damage.

Its a shame that the writer of this article decides to shy away from
obvious facts. Are you saying Fergie publicly lied against Rooney with
the whole world watching? That aside, where have you heard Messi
or Ronaldo getting applause for their “workrate”? Please, all that
headless chicken runaround doesn’t fool everyone bro, at least those
of us that ain’t English… Rooney’s best shot on this United team is to
play on the left side of attack if he really wants to help this team,
as simple as ABC… & if Fergie was still in charge, ‘England’s Golden
Boy’ would have either been playing somewhere in France or Turkey
this season, or rotting in the Man United researves
