Another corker from sadcafe, especially the bit about Jones doing a job on Yaya!!! Turning on baconchops now!!! Lovely stuff
The tactics may have been correct, it was the personnel he chose to play that was all wrong.
Giggs was chasing shadows for most of the game, and Park hasn't kicked a ball in six weeks (When we lost away to Bilbao) At 25mins Park was dripping in sweat, blowing bubbles with his head spinning in every direction. Completely out of his depth. When will we learn that the Halcyon days of Rooney and Ronaldo making Park look good are well and truely over? If he's not good enough to play against Wigan or Blackburn...why the hell does he play in our biggest game of the season? Has he got some dirt on SAF, maybe a voodoo doll or gypsy curse. I cannot fathom it? Asking Park to do a man marking job on (6ft3) Yaya Toure is like trying to win the grand national on a shetland pony.
Also, we have scored 8 goals in our two previous games, and he dropped our inform players for Park and Giggs? People will say that Jones is too young and inexperienced, but he should have been put in midfield to do a man marking job on Yaya Toure. He has the physical attributes and pace to keep up with him.
My team last night would have been the following
------------De Gea
Valencia Smalling Ferdinand Evra
Nani Jones Carrick Scholes Young
------------Rooney
Valencia and Nani down the right would have torn Clichy to shreads. And Young would have added balance and the ability to support Rooney. I'm so annoyed we got it so wrong, and didn't try to change it until the last quarter of the game. By then City had 10 center backs on the pitch.
Fergie could do with some better support from his coaching staff, last night was a foregone conclusion the moment the team sheets were announced. The first time in 3 years that we've played a game without a shot on goal.
Time to get that midfield sorted, Mr Gill. Last night was embarrassing. Not in terms of how they played, in terms of how little we had to offer.
