Well let's hope we step up.

I know this a friendly but i really couldn't take a defeat to them, or a heavy one if so, with the season just a week away.

Well i think
Evra, Vidic, Rooney & Nani would all get in our team.

Evra, Vidic, Rooney for me. Nani would have to replace Silva, Yaya, or Balo/Johnson and I don't see that happening. I also don't think he is quite as good as Giggs, Rooney and Berba have helped him look over the last two seasons.

Of course he is not as good as Giggs. How many wingers in the game are? I'm even sure if Robben is better than a Giggs at his best.

Nani is quality though despite being an annoying cheat. He can be shit for the whole game and provide one cross or free kick like he did when the rags came back against Villa.

He is much better than Johnson for me. I won't compare with Balo and Silva as they play in diff. positions.

Did you actually read my response? I in no way said or implied anything you are apparently refuting. I said that Nani was not quite as good as those players made him LOOK, as in they inflated his talent by giving him clear chances, drawing more than one defender away for easier runs, and offering great hold up play allowing him (or anyone with some talent) to put shots on goal.

And you make my point for me in the last sentence as half of my point was that in order for Nani to make our starting eleven he would most likely need to change our shape (replace other players playing a different position) and I just do not see that happening. My argument was more than talent-for-talent, it was about the players that could actually break into OUR starting eleven.

Anyway, I agree he may be better than Johnson right now, but I'd give Adam some more time. One or two years, despite popular belief, is not that much time for development. Especially when you consider we are just now becoming truly competitive in the world.

We'll win today. I can feel it in my plums.

Got to love the the matchday thread crowd, you would think after finishing 3rd and the FA cup, they would be a little less pessimistic, but no same shit different season

Eh, some are just generally pessimistic despite the circumstances.
