Wolfsburg goal by Dzeko highlighted that aerial threat is always going to be our problem. Dzeko was unmarked. i'm not asking much as i was much delighted as u guys are but i can't seem to shake off the concern of facing Aston Villa. I'm confident though we will win against Aston villa but the concern is always there seeing the physical threat posed by Carew, Heskey, dunne.

Obertan > That Kid, nuff said. I personally think that Obertan deserve much more starting 11 compared to Wellback. His contribution to the game is simple awesome.

Sol Campbell to OT? I LOL'ed.

Owen, was once one of the best young strikers in England until he's injury struck him. Then Benitez decided to let him go to Real, while at Real, chances were limited due to the Raul and other so called more qualified strikers. But everytime Owen played, he earned rave review, even scoring more than he appeared. soon after he moved to The Toon Army, and even there, his injury was just bugging him. Most of the clubs in England didnt think a veteran poacher would be able to bag in the goals like before. But as always, SAF found a gem in the rough. Well. actually a dusty gem  =)

Nevertheless, every since Owen scored a hat trick against Man city in the 02/03 season (mind you the keeper was our great Peter S), i've always like him. Unfortunately he played for Liverpool back then. But now, I'm just glad he's playing for us, and grateful enough to watch him thrash Wolfsburg. He's got speed alrite, even though not as fast as before. but he sure still remain one hell of striker..

Obertan was another one that was constantly injured and was overlooked by many. He was once, like Owen, one of the most courted youngsters and one of the brightest prospects. Sad enough, injury plagued him as well.
Nevertheless, obi-tan is playing for us now.

Long Live SAF!!

one thing bout last nite.. why evra captained us? not scholes? park? flethcer?

Obertan is no Ronaldo for sure, and he himself have said that he is Gabriel Obertan, NOT Cristiano Ronaldo..

As much as we want him to be as good as Ronaldo, we all know we're just kidding ourselves, Obi will be a great player for us, but i doubt he'll ever be as good as Ronnie, Ronnie was more of a flying forward, Obi on the other hand, more like a Luis Figo kind of player, creates chances, entertains the crowd with his plays, but definitely not as lethal as Ronnie..

As much as we want to say Ronnie was never the one man that carried us two seasons back, he did. Look at him now at Real, 14 goals in !2 matches. That has to proved something, he must be doing something right with that kind of stats, remember the 50 plus goal season for us?
He has proven his class from time to time, as far as I know, noone can quite fire a free kick like Ronnie.

I'm not much of a Ronnie fan due to some of his selfish plays and arrogant remarks, but i have to admit, he is undoubtedly one of the class acts of his generation. Not many can do what he does, the only advantage Leo Messi has over Ronnie is that Leo is a team player, while our departed Ronnie, is more of a selfish one.

Obi however, he will blend into the team, he's keen to show the world ; Just like Owen, that he is a force to be reckon with, despite the injury setbacks.

Our team, has proven from time to time, We never rely on one player to bring us to glory, (except Ronnie's remarkable 50 goal season) , every player works hard, and every player wants to prove that they're worth being in the starting 11, and even if they're not, they build up the fiery will to play from the bench, thats the kind of players SAF brings to the team..

When a player no longer has the team spirit, he's allowed to leave Old Trafford. That's the philosophy SAF brings to the table.
Perfect Example(SAF, b4 coming to Old Trafford, brought Aberdeen up to destroy the Celtic-Rangers domination of the Scottish Leagues)

Nevertheless, every player on our team, are class acts, whether shining heros, or silent unsung heroes like Carrick,Scholesy and Fletch

Glory Glory Man Utd 

I think so too, not because purely of prejudice. IMHO Barca have a very strong team to let Messi enjoy his style of football and I don't think he is that effective when putting him in other teams. Ronaldo OTOH, he will be the MAN to watch in whatever team he is, Lisbon, United or Real Madrid. He has that extra little edge over Messi and also possess a superior header + free kick skills. However, I will pick Rooney over both anyday 

For Villa game, i tink my line up will be

Fletcher.Carrick.Vidic.Evra
Valencia.Gibson.Anderson.Nani
Rooney.Berbatov

Would love to see the combination of Rooney and Berbatov in town. Nani to be given another chance if he can actually cross the ball instead of Ronaldo-ing.

he's not really all about goals.. he can be a team player when he wants to, but after someone outscored him u know what will happen next

forgot to mention this, he was more of team player during the 42 goals season.. instead of dribbling all the way to score/assist the others, he using his team mate more to get in the end of things.. that's why he scored that much

messi also once was criticized for playing for messi fc but after he balanced everything, he scored 3X goals last season

there is no one man team, but maybe there is two men team

Far most, what i can see from Nani is that he wants to perform very very badly. He's desperate for a goal to let us know that he really is united material. Obviously, a cross to assist Owen is not going to impress us, so he goes for the try-to-score-myself tactic. If Sir Alex Ferguson can work his magic and plant back Nani's brain into his head, I'm more than willing to give Nani another chance..
I dont mind having a goal-scoring monster in the team 
edit: Valencia has already take up shooting, i'm utmost sure that in 2 season time, he will be another goal-scoring winger
