Its a great win over Wolves after what we hv been through the week at Swiss~~~ Glad tht both Nani and Rooney r finally back onto our scoresheet!!! Its very important for both of them to score as it might spur them on for more in the coming games... Another big plus point for us is tht the form of Valencia!!! Great to see him beating defenders again without much hesitation...
But dont get too over exited as its only Wolves (no disrespect) and dun forget tht we were playing at our Old Toilet too!!! This is what we shld expect our team do... As for Rooney, great tht he is more willing to shoot n hv a go at the opponents goal... For the past few games, he was playing way too many passes towards the flanks eventhough he was at a good position to hv a go... Rooney shld b more direct in his play sometimes where he needs to test the keeper more often rather than spraying the ball out wide all the time... Hopefully the brace of goals will now fire him up for more in the coming games...
Valencia seems to b hitting his form slowly now when we really needed him to... This is what he shld b doing more often, bring the ball out wide, beat defenders and try to send in more quality crosses into the box!!! Then of cos, he shld tried to do a "Nani" by cutting in n shoot kao d keeper too~~~ Haha... Let's hope he gets more game time from now on to improve his form!!!
By doing so, it will take the pressure slightly off Young!!! It will b able to give Young more time to get back to his own form... We needs 3 of them to fit so tht SAF will hv options to choose from... Young problems r pretty similar to Valencia's!!! A bit rusty in his move, unable to beat defenders, most of the time made the wrong decision in passing the ball n lack of self-confidence...
Other than tht, its a good win for the team!!! I hope SAF continue to play Jones in the midfield and i hope to see him being develop into 1 of the greatest midfielder int eh coming future... Too bad tht we do not hv a 'Keano' or 'Robbo' to guide him n his development there now... Else, i think he will improve even faster!!!
==============================================================================
Back to the Evra and Wing back topic tht u guyz were discussing!!! ^.^
For Evra main problem, its his positioning while defending tht gave us the most headache!!! He seldom 'mark' his player well or at least stay close to them while the opponent is attacking us... Countless of time, when the crosses/passes came into the box, we got exposed on the left side where Evra is supposed to b defending!!! *&%%#@$
I just couldnt understand tht, with the experience he had, what was he thinking at tht point of time?! =.=" His positioning in the box is seriously damaging the team...
As for the way he did overlapping, its d end result from him tht putting the team under pressure~~~ Seldom tht he got his final passes right at the crucial moment and he try to beat 1 defender too many as well... Once he lost the ball, the whole team hv to track back with pace to cover our ass~~~
Sometimes, Young shld hv cover him better when Evra overlapping~~~ Nani had the same problem last time on the right side too... But Nani improved a lot in this aspect where he is able to track back well in time... So hopefully Young can do the same as well...
But i still think a defender main priority is to defend well b4 he can think of helping the team to attack!!! So, Evra shld b responsible for most of the mistakes on the left~~~
As for Evans... I'm speechless too... =.=" Vidic's injury n the recent lineup suggested tht SAF still trusting him for the job, where almost the whole world thought he just clearly isnt fit to carry out... *&^%$#@@%^* Evans work very hard in games, just like what all the cows did at Padi field!!! But he always a time bomb waiting to b exploded at the most crucial time with all those stupid mistakes he can make!!! He is just not a reliable defender tht we need!!! Careless, clumsy n easily panic under pressure!!!
Pls SAF, offload him somewhere... Mayb Ass-senal (M. Silvestre) or Sunderland (Ooopppsss~~~ Brucie hv gone!!!) ?! ^O^ ^O^ ^O^
