  1. Uppercut CB Faldo

    I guess he's a forward, but "striker" incorrectly implies that he ever strikes.

    I'm actually a huge fan ftr. It's frustrating that he's such an embarrassingly bad finisher but he's worth persevering with, his raw attributes and work rates are insane.

    It's just his first touch that lets him down.

    This is a weirdly polarising one. I hear that a lot but I'd have said he's really good at receiving the ball. Maybe that's more to do with his strength and shielding ability but it's kind of the same thing.

  8. loganb JEM Logan

    It's not the same thing. Your first touch is your first touch, strength and shielding the ball is how you respond to your first touch and how you hold the ball up. He's good at flicking the ball and putting it where he wants it to go, but his actual first touch/control isn't that great.

    Kagawa should be played more in the central role. RVP, Rooney and Kagawa will be a good combination to play. Nani on the right and Januzaj on the left. Evra and Januzaj complement each other well. Januzaj cuts in often, he likes to take on players using his skills which gives a easy way for Evra to move forward to provide a cross. Valencia should be dropped, he should change is style of play. Opponents are able to easily read Valencia.

    Surely Nani on the left and Januzaj on the right?

    I preferred Januzaj on the left because as soon as he gets the ball two of them comes to tackle him. He at times manages to get past two of them or fouled more. In all ways we definitely need a creative play maker in the winter window. If we find one then we will be back on track.

    And exactly the same would happen if he was on the right. He showed that he's got a decent shot on him too.

    Nani hasn't been much cop at all for a while but when he was good he was much better on the right than the left. For some reason he could shoot much better with his left than he could cross.

    Januzaj's best performances came on the left too but I don't think it matters much where he plays.

  14. jeyshiva JS Shiva

    Yes but do you think Smalling is better moving up front to provide a decent cross than evra when januzaj is holding the ball? I would leave Raphael out he hasn't played much with januzaj.

    Moyes has the idea of giving him some time in cup games. Better give him a short loan spell to enjoy some game time.

    And he's not good enough for United's first team.

    Apparently he was furious at us Wedneaday night in the Lowry in front of a few Evertonians.
