He's slowly cut out/down on the cheating. Messi plays for the biggest cheats in Europe and although he doesn't as such he gets a lot more help than Ronanldo does
Howard
Hibbert Heitinga Distin Baines
Drenthe Rodwell Barkley Osman
Bily
Saha
I'd like to see this with Rodwell staying back with the rest of the midfield interchanging, and Heitinga the only player allowed to 'hoof' it forward as when he does it it's actually a pass to one of our players.
Pretty confident that won't be the team but we'll win any way. 1-3 a clean sheet would be nice though
I've been watching, jus not going. He played no differently year to year league goals (off wiki; so not 100% reliable) 28/2 28/2 30/4 18/1. Thats a consistent terrible record.
Both Baines and Hibbert seemed reluctant to get forward against utd. Bily/Osman often looked to play the ball forward and Baines was waiting back for it.
I was surprised, possibly had less crosses and just more have been on target, he looks like he needs a couple weeks rest either that or Moyes is telling him not to get forward as much.
One who can pick a pass, does the right option or can cross a ball or cut in and get a shot on target, if they can beat a man as well that'd be perfect. Coleman jus runs at people, Pienaar jus back-heeled the ball at them.
A five minute video is not gonna make me change my mind. Yes, he made/scored a few good goals, but more often than not he fecked up the attack. If the video was of him losing the ball or dog-awful pass it would be much longer
36 - We score every 36 minutes With drenthe on pitch – 6 goals in total
149 – We score every 149 minutes without Drenthe on the pitch – 4 goals in total
What a difference a Drenthe makes
