    Well then it's the perfect time to mock him for jumping around at the prospect of drawing level with the mighty Burnley.

    Think we will need a new top level striker next summer with Rooney and RVP ageing anyway.

    I think we both have in-fairness my Lord

    Rooney scored goals but he's all round game has been woeful for some time I think.

    You know what lads, its going to be a controversial opinion but id love to see the team without Rooney. Welbeck or Chico (possibly another player) along side RVP with Mata behind them. Im convinced we would play better

    I think Welbeck or Januzaj, or the like, could be the key to that narrow front three. Imo Rooney, RVP and Chico all represent the less creative, less mobile CF that need a guy beside them to run with the ball when playing this formation.

    That second Chelsea goal was amazing. Fabregas already showing why he is a bargain.

    I think he can be utterly toss for 89 minutes and have one of magical if he scores in that minute, great, but if he doesn't, we are in trouble.

    Would rather someone who can be a consistent threat all game.

    We both already know that we have a fundamental disagreement on how the quality of a cross should be rated. Constantly repeating that you disagree with how I rate his crosses is utterly pointless.

    Well I've broken down what I think is a good cross and individually rated all of Nanis crossing on Saturday.

    You said it was a 50% and marked it 7/10, or 70%. I don't know how you could rate the four crosses in that video a 7/10

    If you want to break down your criteria of a good cross and how it relates to what was in the video I'd be happy to hear it.

    I think you'll avoid though, in no reality was that a 7/10 crossing preformance

    a good cross imo is one where you make the defender turn towards his own goal, where the ball is whipped in between the last defender and the goalkeeper and gives the striker the opportunity to run onto and either head or strike with the ball with his foot

    Not specific to you but anyone who uses the internet while trying to avoid real time events is asking for trouble. It's bound to happen.

    As we discussed on here before, much to everybody's annoyance, pick a united player who'd get on that Chelsea team!!

    The next couple of weeks are so important for united, at the moment we are heading for two seasons without champions league football. Then getting quality players in becomes even more difficult than it is being made look this summer.
