*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

Money problems and since they're not Barcelona they actually have to pay back their debts.

 

[Uppercut]

Great to have Ferdinand and Vidic back together. Both were immense tonight.

Solid enough performance but if Soldado had headed into an open net in the first half it would have looked a hell of a lot different.

Really comes in handy when you can keep clean sheets in away European games. Man Utd. have made an artform of sneaking games in this fashion.

Probably comes equally in handy at any level of football played anywhere ever tbh.

Thought Utd were distinctly average tonight, but they did have some solidity at the back. They were wasteful in possession and carried little threat going forward, and apart from Berbatov's solo effort, you couldn't see where a goal was going to come from, but Hernandez took it very well.

Valencia to be fair looked the better side, and did look more penetrative, but still didn't carve out enough real openings to worry Van der Saar. Good sides win even when they don't play well. God that hurts coming from a Blue!

 

[Furball]

This is silly. Too many refs.

The guys on the goal-line don't seem to do anything either, they'd be as well having cardboard cut outs.

 

[sledger]

One of them gave a goal-kick in the Utd game tonight

It's been the story of pretty much every away Champions League game we've played for the past five years.

 

[roseboy64]

What effect?

****ing lol.

Well didn't most of your lineup play the 120?

 

[aussie]

Jack is so much better than Bentley it isn't funny. If Ramsey can come back fully recovered after his injury then things start to get really interesting. They're both excellent players already.

edti: Need to give Fabianski some props too. Hopefully he has got his confidence back now.

Indeed. Bentley is old fashioned right-winger with no pace. While Wilshire this seasons looks after intial thought of him being a left-winger, looks to have the tools to be a quality attacking mid-fielder.

 

[roseboy64]

Would like to hear Rose's thoughts on Taibi, tbh.

Started supporting in 03/04 so no idea about him.

Did see Carroll though and he was rubbish. Should never have been in ahead of Howard.

Haha, yeah.

Incredible creative ability and he works very very hard defensively. He's short but quite stocky and has enough strength for the centre. Much to love about this guy. He's played every game for us this season and been our best midfielder by far.

Still very raw though, makes the odd questionable pass and attempts a dragback or backheel in some odd scenarios but experience should take care of that.

 

[grecian]

Tbh, I think you are both giving a bit too much credence to TTBoys statement, Jack is in a totally different class to Bentley, and doesn't play in the same position at all.

A very exciting talent.

Josh McEachran and Wilshire have England's future midfield covered between them.

 

[duffer]

On an unrelated note, I really love watching Samuel Eto'o play. Just so awesome to see him back scoring big time.

 

[Craig]

Red Clive doing little to hide his Man Utd bias this evening. Decent result though if they can hang on. Having said that, I've not really seen any of Valencia for a while now, but blimey they really are a shadow of the teams they would put out back in the early 2000s.

I guess it what happens when you sell villa and Silva. Still have has a solid start in La Liga so far.

My comment was more in reference to the Valencia side before Villa or Silva played for them itbt. But granted those sales didn't help their current situation.

Heard J Redknappp hyping him up on TV last weekend, but i have yet to see him play. But he is encouraging, given the lack of young ENG players that have come through Chelsea since Lampard/Terry.

 

[marc71178]

Oh yes, that good Chelsea product Frank Lampard.
