Well, you said he didn't tackle, so I thought I'd prove you wrong by giving a particular occurence of him actually doing so. What exactly is your point anyway? Seems rather petty.samharris said:Viva Rivaldo said:I was more pointing out the fact that you mentioned tackling, then chastised somebody a few seconds later for doing the same.
In the second half last night, Carrick lost the ball while going forward, leaving a big void through the middle which Drogba charged down. Cue Hernandez running back like a trooper, making a perfectly timed tackle. But of course, all Hernandez does is wait on the last man, so that must have been one of our other small Mexican players.
Wow !! 1 tackle..for you to remember that means that it obviously stood out..
Rare occurance was it ??

He just posts about City, look above his recent rant and the post before that is him!
He's not even waited for anyone else to post, he's just wandered off into his own world of ranting about City.
Calm down, mate, you can always cry into your King Eric bedsheet tonight.
Definitely some unparalleled hatred towards City, he must have been one of those rags that had a United top with Tevez on the back and can't afford to replace it... shame :(
Outrun said:Squatter said:Rio is still miles better than Lescott. He's just a bit of a crock these days.
We're as good on paper, we just need to add some solid depth and develop a winning mentality.
Well said, and if Ferdinand is injured they simply don't have as good backup as we have in Lescott or Kolo (depending who's 1st choice, hard to know these days). The mentality is the important bit, I hope Mancini can add to it.
Interested, where do you think we need more depth? With the loanee's returning I'd say we're covered.
In comparison to them? I'm not sure. Left back is a bit of a problem as I don't rate Kolarov as a £17m player but Zabaleta is very useful. They have about 8 players like Zab, who will come in, play out of position, work their dicks off and make a contribution. Park, Giggs, Fletcher, o'shea, da silva x 2, nani and valencia.
We can say they're shit all we like. They're not, they're good players and the sooner we realise it's about a quality squad the sooner we'll win a shitload. it's coming, have patience...

They had Valencia playing side back yesterday (and the match before), I'd say both Milner and Barry (lacking speed) can do a good job there (but it's hard to know considering they rarely play side backs). Zabaleta is our O'Shea, and I think we are decently covered with versatility.
But yeah, they all work their dicks off, thanks to Ferguson. Hopefully Mancini can create that mentality here. Having seen Nani years ago, I'd never believe back then he'd become such a hard worker today.
If you work hard enough, ability isn't everything. Some of the players they have played as side backs are poor tacklers, but thanks to their work rate/effort put in they did fine anyway.

what is my point ?? my point is that Balotelli is a far better player which if you go back a few pages this discussion is all about.
So is it just me on here who thinks that Hernandez is absolutely shit hot? Brilliant little player in my opinion, maybe not the most technically gifted but he works his cock off. Always moving off the ball, always on the shoulder of the last defender and always in the right place at the right time. Think United have a little gem there. Would I swap him for Balotelli though? No.
I genuinely cringed reading that, the bit about " i watched utd on tv once" they are trying to be sarcastic but its not working because the little info bit at the side clearly states they have locations such as, calafornia, melbourne, india and my favourite CONGO! hahah so are they really trying to tell us they go to every game! season ticket holder from melbourne. wow fan of the year that one. What a cringeworthy little forum they have.
The thing with utd fans is, they are so deeply up their teams arse they dont know much about the rest of the prem league. eg my dad ( a rag) watched the derby with me and said," kompany played well today", i had to explain that kompany is one, if not our best player and he consistantly performs like that. He didnt have a clue about him, cos he lives and breathes utd and thats all. So im not suprised at all that they laughed at the OPs ratings. They are clueless. seriously.

Van der Sar v Joe Hart = VDS - VDS is all round better.
Rafael v Richards = Draw - Both improved drastically this season, Tie.
Kompany v Vidic = Vidic - Vidic imo is the best CB in the world, Kompany is class tho.
Rio v Lescott = Rio - Not even comparable, Rio is great.
Evra v Kolarov = Evra - Just slightly, Evra has been poor this season but Kolarov is not good.
Fletcher v de Jong = de Jong - De Jong wins with ease, Fletcher has been poor this season.
Scholes v Yaya = Scholes - Simple, although i do rate Yaya.
Valencia v Johnson = Valencia - Valencia's a beast, Johnson blows hot and cold.
Nani v Silva = Draw - both been brilliant this year. Tie.
Rooney v Tevez = Draw - Tevez on fire at the start, been poor lately, Rooney been poor, on fire lately.
Chicharito v Balotelli = NA - depends what you want. tough one
Berbatov v Dzeko = Berbabtov - not seen much of Dzeko prior to joinin City but im not impressed.
Completely unbiased, but why is there 3 strikers ? surely you should add Kolo vs Smalling, Fabio vs Boyata,OShea vs Zab,Carrick vs Barry,Milner vs Giggs,SWP vs Park,Owen vs Jo etc

That Allforone fella is hilariously pathetic. Seems like a right sad little man, but I don't know why anyone would get worked up about it. They're entitled to their sad opinions (just as some deluded blues are) but why oh why a United 'fan' would want to trawl through posts on an opposing teams forum to gain brownie points with his internet friends on Redcafe pretty much tells you everything you need to know about a guy who's probably never been to a game in his life. Poor lad, he seems to have got his little laughing emoticons from his e-friends! Bless.
For what it's worth, both sets of fans are obviously going to favour their own players, but I seriously don't see much in the two sides (on paper). Sadly though, football isn't played on paper and what they do have is the mentality and a manager who's won it all and built a team which whatever 11 they put out, will always maintain that attitude/mentality to win. We HAVE to aspire to achieve this, and hopefully it starts by winning the FA cup and getting that monkey off our back.
I HATE United as much as any blue, but I also respect them and what they consistently achieve.
