RSB Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Fan-f**king-tastic. What a day. MOTM: Scholesy. Inhuman passing abilities, really. 2nd: GBH AFFG 1: Paddy for giving away a daft freekick AFFG 2: Carrick - Fernandes has come a long way from the left flank and Carrick should've picked him up. So many incredible little things. From the ref taking the **** out of Arteta before the fk he drilled straight at VDS, to Kieran being good again, just like he was for the first half against Boro - wp booers, looks like it got through to him, to Giggsy sensibly deciding to forgoe his usual shift of doing three bad things for every occasional flicker of genius to simply being absent, to so much brilliance from Rooney despite the fact he was dire on so many occasions, to Johnny's versatility and predatory 'fox-in-the-box' nature surely being the answer to our striking problems next season, to Pip's wondergoal, to Wazza risking his life to **** off the Toffees, to CHRISSY BLOODY EAGLES! What a day. Just wanted to cry around quarter to two, muttering 'die season, die' under my breath, to the giddyness of turning down the offer of a tenner from a punter at work to turn the telly off during MOTD even though I'd watched the match live on telly earlier.

RSB Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I thought while watching the highlights that he did look rather good, largely due to the fact that they were just that: highlights. Still gave the ball away too much during the match for my liking, while the only real contribution I can remember from open play was his through ball for Smudge, though fair play with regards his set pieces. Just expect more of him. Our Kier was a greater threat imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theis Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I think Giggs comes in for a lot of undeserved stick in this thread. Especially from mark "lets sell Giggs and keep Richardson" g. But whilst I will give you the fact he does give the ball away quite a lot, when you watch MOTD he always looks awesome as he is often the one trying the most creative balls. When it comes off he looks fantastic. I'm not trying to say that hes awesome in the way MOTD paints him to be but a lot of people completely slate him when if you think about it he must be doing some stuff right and I will take the occasional squandering of possession that he sometimes brings to his game. Reading back over that its not the most well argued point I've ever made but I am incredibly hungover still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLO_Fila Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 For me Giggs was ok in this game. His simple passing wasn't as dreadful as usual (lately), he was actually able to find a man most of the time. My grudge with Giggs lately is that he completely misses the simple passes. If he would try Scholes type of passes (long range, over defence etc) and mess them up it would be ok but he keeps messing up the simple ones.

nistelrooy_uk_10 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 giggs has played a major role in getting us where we are this season. no complaints at all, yeh he's had the odd off day, but I think he's been fb in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times he has done that recently is infuriating. Then again he can do something awesome still. Crap against Milan & then in the last minutes he goes & sets up Rooney. Problem is for every ball like that there are 10 where he randomly flicks it witout looking where he is actually flicking it to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Giggs was better than fine yesterday. No crit from me & I don't see where its coming from for anyone who is really. Other games this season he's deserved it and others he's not. Guess his performances are just proving very divisive in this thread this season since his form has fluctuated a fair bit since his early season purple patch. Was Fletch just rested yesterday or was it to protect him from injury? Hopefully it’s the former so he'll be chomping on the bit vs. Milan. Watched the highlights on TV this morning and was just thinking again how good he was Assuming, worst case, that Rio, Vidic & Nev are all still absent for Milan, how should Fergie shuffle his pack for that game with Paddy suspended? Fletch/Wes/Heinze/O’Shea Fletch/Wes/O’Shea/Heinze O’Shea/Wes/Heinze/Richardson …or a radical O’Shea/Wes/Heinze triumvirate at the back? (I already know that the last one is a terrible idea).

Nick OGS20 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 and yeah, Giggs was loads better yesterday. Jonny's right in that the main annoyance for me is his speed of thought has been seriously lacking and he's so often caught on his heels when a pass is played to him, allowing the defender to easily intercept. less of that yesterday, better movement, some genuine creativity and blimey, maybe even a bit of leadership and taking of responsibility when we needed it.
