theis Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Wasn't able to watch the match so I can't comment on Gigg's performance (nice goal though) but I think in general there is no player on the team who divides opinion as much as Giggs does, every single match. There is a sizeable contingent who believe he is the worst player in the team, wasteful of possession, making poor choices and generally not caring. Then there are people who will rate exactly the same performance as a MOTM one, believing that his passing was intelligent, work rate good and that he showed good skill on the ball. Now I personally think that as he is no longer as fast as he once was a large chunk of his game has gone and we need to look for a replacement winger asap as he doesn't have long left. However he is still good enough at the moment. I generally find his passing is intelligent and he makes the right decision more often than not. His crossing has never been great and as he struggles to beat his man more and more he has had to come inside more and more, something he has done quite well this season imo.

ACou2000 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I didn't think he was as bad as some made out yesterday. Wasn't good. But only to the extent that hardly any of them were. That miscontrol when we had a good counter attack situation and the ball ran off for a throw was mighty frustrating, but in general it was nothing spectacularly bad, and he got the goal with a great finish, which was crucial.

ACou2000 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 haha must admit I forgot about that but I dunno, I dont think it was entirely jammy.. at least he hit the target. Our strikers probably wouldn't have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Theis spot on about Giggsy there. Although, most of the division over Giggs yesterday, like Nick said, seems to be between the lads at Craven Cottage & the lads who have watched it on TV, where obviously the presentation of the game has led to differing conclusions. Its funny really (not ha-ha, odd coincidence funny), after catching up on the posts I missed last night after work, and then watching MOTD this morning the first thing I thought when Hansen said Giggs had a good game in the post-match analysis was the balance of opinion in this thread.

Coldberg Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 What really got me about Match of the day was the highlights they showed of Giggs. Hansen going on about his movement & running off the ball & making him sound amazing. If yo uactually watch the clips though all Giggs does is the same as every other breaking United player did. The miscontrol was summed up by Hansen something along the lines of 'a bad touch' or something similar. Making out like it was a one off in the game. The fact is he was miscontrolling it quite often & picking the wrong pass. It was so frustrating everytime he got the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The thing is that on the TV, regardless of his odd miscontrol/misplaced pass, with Scholes not on the boil, Carrick having what has legitimately been described as a terrible game, and Ronnie going more individual runs rather than build-up, Giggsy stood out (for me at least) as the one midfielder trying to really prompt stuff around a very combative Fulham midfield. & Rossigol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze claims he is content with his situation at Old Trafford, but has a desire to be handed a chance to play in the centre of defence. The Argentine has struggled to nail down a regular starting berth this term, having been pushed down the pecking order by Patrice Evra. Heinze was linked with a move away from Manchester United in January, but manager Sir Alex Ferguson persuaded him to stay in Manchester and even though he is not a regular at present, the defender is content with his role. "This year things are sorting out well at Manchester United," said Heinze." This weekend Chelsea will not be playing so it would be good for us to beat Fulham so they see us nine points ahead of them. "I have a good relationship with all my team-mates. I am very close to Cristiano Ronaldo most of all because he is Portuguese and he understands Spanish." Heinze has forged a name for himself as a rampaging left-back, but he craves the chance to play in the heart of the back four. I like to play most of all in the centre of the defence but lately I am playing on the left side," he stated. "I have adapted and I am doing well." Heinze has set his sights on securing a place in Argentina's squad for the Copa America this summer. "I would like to be recalled to the team for the Copa America," he added. "I hope that my summer holidays will be wearing the Argentinian national team jersey. "I will have enough time to rest once I am retired. "The objective of Argentina in the Copa America is not to reach the final, it's to win it, so we must win all the games that we have to play for being the champions. "It has been a long time since Argentina has won an international title and this could be a good chance." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgrapefruits Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ok just looked at match tickets on Man Utd website and got reminded of our rather brillianty scheduled friendly on 13 of March against a Europe 11. Does anyone else feel this has the potential to ruin our whole season. If Ronaldo or anyone for that matter were to get injured in this game, it'd be utter madness. And considering the upcoming schedule the last thing needed is a friendly. I expect nothing less than a second eleven.
