Anyone got highlights for the birmingham's game? Couldn't see the game this time.
EDIT: Sorry didn't know the match hasn't ended yet...

Who needs technique when you can own an opponent midfield and beat the hell out of them like a punching bag ? Look at Keane, not very technical but strong and fierce. That`s what I see from Diop, he owns people as if they`re his bitches.

Saying that Keane wasn't very technical is sh*te. Although he was a hard man, people seem to forget he was actually very technically gifted, although not flashy. You can't command the best midfield in the world if you aren't technically gifted.

I don't know what system we were playing in the first half,Rossi was far too isolated up front and at times,Park seemed to be playing further up the field than Saha. First half was crap.

I was pleased with how Saha played in the second half,he could hardly have played much worse than he did in the first half,Howard,Ronaldo and Park played well but as expected,the Villa game was a one off for Darren Fletcher because apart from a couple of crosses,he had a very poor game and it looked as though Rooney was telling him as much after the final whistle.

Glad Saha got two, just what he needed. Good second half performance from the lads. :rockman:

Diop is overrated, i'd much prefer to see Zokora at United. btw Davis at Villa has signed a new contract.

we should for Zokora and de Jong rather than Diop. Diop is almost past his prime.

Get those 2 in the winter and then get Fergie's "main target" next summer.

Zokora isn't a proved Premiership player. In terms of technical ability to the team, ask Roy Carroll what Diop can do. I wouldn't mind getting Zokora no doubt, but he needs to play with either Scholes or Diop and not someone like Fletcher to adjust to the Premiership.


btw, good win, Saha showed his ability and Park finally scored (Y)

Gennaro Gattuso, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, I can name you lots of other players who is not technically gifted but play a major role in the midfield cos of their work ethic, and Keane is one of them .

Thx for the highlight. Saha seems to have rediscovered his fine form after a series of injuries. Good football on display, YET AGAIN.

The only thing you can complain is why we haven't started playing like this earlier in the season.

True... We have showed that we can play well with our players.

I read the newspaper and it said that 37 points in the first 17 pemier league games this season is the fifth high among our recent 10 seasons at the same stage. So we are not playing badly, but Chelsea is really doing very very well.

As for the Carling Cup game, Ronaldo really impressed me! He dribbles at the right time, makes many off-the-ball runs and passes more. He really helps the team in the attack and I think he suddenly improves a lot in this game. He finally realised that football is a teamwork, but not a one-man show.

Hope he can keep this good form and attitude to the game going.

Saha also did well, scoring two and always fights for the ball but not think of any diving.

Nice game for us! :D

Ronaldo has personal problems ( his father's death and rape allegations) he couldn't handle them, that's why he was benched the last couple of games and that his performances were below par. SAF and the others are helping him alot to cope with these problems

Yeah, I can't imagine how f'ed up his head must be. Although, I have a feeling he'll be back to his best soon.
