RTHerringbone Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Valencia was **** in midweek. One decent cross and one good finish, (why can't he do it more often?), mean very little. He was poor, as usual. Shows what I know - I thought he looked far better than he has of late. He gave away a few sloppy passes but made a couple of tackles, won some headers in the final third, scored, assisted and made a couple of chances too. City aren't convincing on the left, so a bit of confidence going into that game could give him a platform to build from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Would rather sacrifice the defensive work he does for Nani every day of the week. Valencia has one trick; slow down play, and speed past his man. It seldom works as it's so easy to read. His hasn't got a trick to go past a man, and don't get me started on when he comes inside.

RTHerringbone Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What are your thoughts on comparisons between Kanchelskis and Valencia? My opinion is biased here, as I watched a lot of United games on TV when Kanchelskis played, and I thought he was bloody brilliant. It was different eras I guess, and arguably that style of pure wing play was better suited to 20 years ago. I'm sure Kanchelskis used to chip in with more goals, but they weren't fundamentally that different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What are your thoughts on comparisons between Kanchelskis and Valencia? Totally different. Kanchelskis was a flying winger who would attack people, taking them on with pace and skill. With Lee Sharpe on the other side, they struck fear into opposition fullbacks up and down the league. Valencia's one plus point is that he adds defensive cover for whoever is at rightback. He's so frightfully limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I forgot how defensive Tom got over stuff I miss this thread. Been a while since I posted in here, seems like a lot of the people who were about when I posted are still here plus a few newcomers (Ri ). On the topic of FM14, I was gonna start a Norwich save but I think that with the signing of Osvaldo I'm swaying towards a Southampton save. Ramirez, Schneiderlin, Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Osvaldo, Wanyama and Lovren. Some very solid young players there (suppose Osvaldo ain't young but he's quality). Looking forward to it. Sort of stopped playing 13 altogether now, just can't be bothered with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I have just woken up after my bachelor day yesterday (wife & house guest away on road trip) and have to say my 34 year old body is suffering. I played 9 holes of golf and then went to the pub for beers and a punt. My 34yr old body is very sore at the moment from a) the golf (most exercise i've done in about 3 years) and b) the beers. I have arranged drinks with some friends for later on today as well as the wife isn't back till this evening. It's going to be tough getting up for work in the morning. Edit: Just watching the replay of the Newcastle vs Hull game. Newcastles defending was appaling for the last 2 Hull games. Aluko's goal in particular there was no one remotley close to him.

AcidBurn Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Di Canio sacked bit of a rash decision now it's down to the players who got him sacked to prove it was him and not them making us rubbish. I'm not sure who I'd take as manager now and to be honest I don't really mind if it's Tony Pulis, Di Matteo or Steve McClaren as I don't have a clue who'd be a good choice most Sunderland fans thought O'Neill was a great appointment then we thought Di Canio might be able to do something.

Funny that Moyes is crying about a harsh fixture list when you have, quite possibly, the worst fixture list in the history of the Premier League. You can't get a home win because of how tough your home games are, and you can't get an away win because you can't get any sort of form going. Horrid fixture list.

He was the biggest moaner in the history of the Premier League with his 'We don't have the financial backing to compete' bollocks. When in fact he spent £100 million and only City, Liverpool have spent more in last 5 seasons. Are you a proper fan btw JD? i.e go to games and from Manchester?
