I liked Kiko for, like, a month. Honestly though, he's painfully frustrating to watch, and he's a greedy so-and-so, everysingle time he touches the ball he always thinks of having a shot; And when he does - that's that opportunity wasted, and if he decides to pass it he inevitably gets the ball nicked off him. That kid's rarely opts for the quick pass for a man on the run.

He's just a pain in the arse.

But when he does it, he does it right, ie. Valencia match.

But he can be fiercely frustrating.

hernandez is in great form, poses a good problem for fergie when rooney is back to fitness, and where does that leave berbatov if chico cant stop scoring

Positives: Bébé has promise. Smalling looks solid. Chico time yet again! Some nice runs from Obertan.

Negatives: Amos doesn't look strong enough to be a top keeper. Evans still not looking good enough in defense. Macheda didn't do much.

Frustrations: Gibson plays a great ball for the goal but gives away possiesion for a goal. Seems to have his moments but isn't consitently good. Obertan does plenty of running but not much end product, possibly a rough diamond though?

Only thing I'd argue against there is placing for Obertan - for me he was so frustrating but admittedly that is nothing new imo.

To be fair, Kiko got a couple of great goals that helped us win the league, no one here would suggest that he's ever produced the goods properly for United. Chicarito is a much more intelligent player and better goal scorer.

A lot of people were building him up and I think it went to his head, this new fella needs to keep his feet on the ground

A minor. And if you can't manage that, B flat.

Yes it's a league cup game, and most of you were abusing nearly every player from the start, it's a ****en league cup game

I wouldn't say abusing, but I was very disappointed with a few players tonight, especially Evans myself, very below par performance, but as you said, cup game tbh, no point worrying too much or overeacting too much.

On th pitch beside him. Rooney will probably walk straight back into the team. But he doesn't deserve to in my opinion.

Johner

Jarvis was man of the match without a doubt.

wixfjord

The acceleration from Hernandez for the goal was frightening!

sky88

chico looks great and so promising to me on the other hand macheda just looks terrible to me

Mars Bar

Did Park really get MOTM?

RasTa

Kinda wanted extra time in that, fun second half. But please never let me see Neville and Evans as fullbacks whilst drawing with 10mins to go, heart can't take it.

Completely agree Johner - Sky doing there usual bs analysis

Vanbis

Positives: Bebe showed some good touches and also seems to have no fear when taking on a player or two.

Smalling was once again solid the first half but a little sloppy the second half but over all had a good game.

Negatives: Amos even though he didn't have much to do his distribution was poor from the back and not sure if he looks to be good enough

Gibson was very bad again, he made one or two good runs but also gave the ball away as well as for a goal.

Evans had a poor game again tonight. Smalling is ahead of him at this stage and looks the more confident. He was useless at left back.

Macheda was poor again tonight, i'm not sure what it is maybe he is trying far too hard and not sure he can play up on his own. I was expecting more himself tonight but another 90min for him.

I still hate him but Carrick deserves a mention as much as this pains me to say he had a good game tonight but was at fault for a goal, he gave the ball away as well but then again we only have to look at who he was up against.

Disappointed not see Brady, Eikrem come on and play tonight.

His first 15 mins, and a goal.

That's the only real positives I can see from him tbh.

I'm not his biggest fan, but credit where it is due mate. We would all be watching extra time if not for the goal. Most players wouldve taken the easy option and slid the ball out to the wing....but gibson kept his head, and slid a perfectly weighted ball into chico. And his passing today was very good. Lost the ball once for the goal, but tbh Evan was shocking in his attempt to block.

Who would you have given it to?

Probably would've given it to Jarvis myself, but I don't think Park played that badly.

Any of you fine gents have any links to the goals?

Off man utd, I'd give it to maybe smalling or fabio, both put in very good shifts at the back and Fabio made some great tackles.

Then again we could all just vote Chicho because he's awesome.

newballsplease

had a cheeky 5eur bet on Bebe first goalscorer at 13/2! happy days!

Thought Smalling was very solid at the back.

The first half was a bore fest. 2nd one made up for it.

Good movement, pacey, chased alot, final ball delivery not great though, but thats something easily worked on, shaping up to be a nifty little player, hopefully will step up to the line now.

Crowd at #MUFC : 46,083 - ie 30,000 empty seats and 5,000 below attendance v Wolves in CC 3rd round last season - Daniel Taylor tweeted that earlier

ive officially lost faith in macheda. unless he has a massive chance in fortune and attitude, he wont make it. age has nothing to do with it, he is turning 19 in the next few months and he aint burned a ball hardly since he scored that goal at villa, 2 jammy goals is all he has got since in 18 months. he has started alot of games and been poor. maybe its cost in a few of them he has been up top on his own, but he has been poor to say the least, he must do better or fergie will lose faith in him. surely owen, back from injury is 4th choice and macheda is 5th now at this stage.

o shea, evans, park have all been woeful so far this season.

thankfully berba, scholes, nani and now hernandez are on top of their game and thats 20 goals them 4 alone have given us so far.

delighted for bebe to get his first start and goal, fantastic for the lad. along way to go yet, but he showed some touchs of class tonight and he will go home happy.

I don't understand this attitude at all. It pains you to say that a player from a team you support had a good game. Awww poor you can't give out about Carrick as much as normal. Also was it not Gibbo that gave the ball away?

I'm growing a little tired too of him but in fairness any time he's played his best is always when he's been up top as part of a 2 man attack. Being the focal point like tonight doesn't really suit him. I also think he needs a goal.


For me, and i'm probably in the minority but Bebe didn't do nearly enough defensively. Jarvis had a field day and had so much space.

I honestly think Bebe was just out of gas. He needs fitness and match fitness (obviously ) imo!

Although now that i think about it, Portuguese wingers never tend to be big on the defensive side of things really :pac:

Quite possible but Jarvis was killing on the left wing, I still think he couls have done more.

You haven't been watching Ronaldo for Real this season. I've actually seen him track a serious amount of runs and cover marcello's ass on quite a few occassions!

Johner

lordgoat wrote: »

I was very impressed with Jarvis, never knew he was that quick!Every time he got to the byline he didn't just whack it in he played lovely passes onto the penalty spot for the runners to come onto, he's a real handful.

On the subject of Portuguese wingers tracking back I've been very impressed with how much Nani has been doing this season. Fair play to him.

Must say this is the thing that has most impressed me when I have seen him this season and along with his marked improvement in form going forward he really looks a different player this year.
