yeah..seriously. I also have problem in spelling Kuszcak,Kusszak,Kuscazk,Kuszczak...finally correct.

My friend and me even called him KUCHAK. If i call him PIG in front of my friend, i cant imagine the reaction. LOL. Internet and real word is like ZION vs MATRIX.

instead of Tosic, may be Nani get ahead of everyone in that position?

hmmm......a MAcheda and Owen combo...now that will be interesting to watch...have they been on paired on a competitive match before?

they paired up in asian tour bfore,and score a few goals if i didnt remember wrongly..it will be interesting if midfield provide enough supply to them

Peter Schmeichel warns Ben Foster over United hopes

Manchester United goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel claims Ben Foster has limited time to push his claims for a regular first-team place.

Edwin van der Sar is set to overcome the thumb injury that has sidelined him since pre-season within a month and Foster has been criticised after an unconvincing display during United's 4-3 victory against Manchester City on Sunday.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has given Foster the nod ahead of Polish stopper Tomasz Kuszczak so far this season, but Old Trafford legend Schmeichel, who won every major honour bar the Uefa Cup during his eight-year stint at United in the 1990s, believes that Ferguson will recall Van der Sar as soon as the 38-year-old returns to full fitness.

Speaking to United Review, Schmeichel said: "Ben Foster has done well this season and he certainly looks to be a very good goalkeeper. He's getting a run of games now, but I'm sure Edwin will be back in when he's fit because the manager knows he's the right guy for the team at the moment.

"I think Edwin can keep playing for a few more years yet. He's fit, he's strong and he's motivated. I think he wants more silverware and, when you want more, you can go on. I was offered another year before I retired at 40 and, physically, I was pretty sure I could have done it, but I just didn't want to.

"Physically, it shouldn't be a problem for Edwin to carry on and if he wants to, then I'm sure he'll take that opportunity."

United have been linked with Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and CSKA Moscow's Igor Akinfeev already this season as potential replacements for Van der Sar.

You have got me wrong

Getting PIG now is not about judging Foster.

But is providing another chance for PIG.

You can't keep playing him and not PIG.

It is not about judging his ability.

so, owen and macheda start? does it mean wellbeck on the bench?

Sure Kuszczak will get a few games over the season, but he won't start over Foster and VDS when both of them are fit at the same time unless Foster really does something badly in a lot of games and lose SAF's trust. But as we know he can be stubborn and patient for some players. I think it's a bit unfair too to compare Foster's one bad game against Kuszczak's. He's had one bad game, one really shaky game and one game where it was debatable whether he should have done better with one goal he let in. 2/3 out of 8 ain't a bad start to his United career(proper season) IMO.

As U know I never said drop Foster because of one bad game.

IMHO, It is just PIG haven't been given much chance to prove himself despite he too has the experience.

There is no doubt on Foster's ability to develop into a good GK, else he wouldn't be given the chance. But my opinion focus more on opportunities v current situation.

So it would also be very unfair if PIG not getting the chance despite Foster's recent mistakes. Remember the one against Malaysia XI too.

It wouldn't be easy to take it for PIG and he might leave us for another team.. who knows?

Lineup pleaseeeeeee!

I think ben foster will get his chance until VDS returns.

VDS was in no man's land for that 'Malaysia' goal. What do we say to that? Well.. the Malaysia game is long gone. Since then his form has pick up and apart from the Chelsea game and the last game, Foster has been really solid in goal for us. And if we want to talk about mistakes, Kuszczak have a fair share of them too.

Backup GKs don't generally get that much playing time unless for emergency/rest, and usually the managers don't change the GK a lot of times. Kuszczak would get that already, although I'm sure he's unhappy about it. Besides he had the last 3 seasons all to himself behind VDS although he was never given a consistent run in the side due to VDS being available most of the time. Foster was out on loan in two seasons, and last season he was out injured for most of the time.

That's not to say Kuszczak is not good. He's a good GK and would be starter for some EPL teams. And to be fair to him, he look fairly solid in his last couple of outings for us. But we need to look back at the situation and priority. It's clear SAF sees Foster as a serious candidate for the #1 spot after VDS goes since he's been bigging up Foster ever since Foster impressed for Watford on loan. VDS is out injured right now and maybe would retire at the end of the season, and we need to find out whether Foster has what it takes or not in as many games as possible.

Game at the weekend will be a big show and tell. If Foster isn't pick for that, his chances would be lessen and he need to work harder and take his next chances when given. If he is, it will be a big boost for him although if he make mistake(s) in that game too, you would feel his chances won't be good and his confidence will be shattered after that.

see my siggy guys
