Technical perfection from the little ginger. Thought United looked very cohesive in midfield in the second half, up until the last 10 minutes

of course it went unnoticed

there was a far more simple explanation for it than you are trying to give but i'll keep that to myself


another cracking performance from united and another fully deserved win

He was good, but not great. Nani, rio and totti all had much better games. also carrick could have easily given away did commit a foul in the box but the ref didn't give a penalty

I saw little of the game (just the last 20 minutes) but what I saw looked pretty even. Which is good, coz hopefully it will make Roma self destruct in frustation in Serie A

The last 20 mins weren't very different from the rest of the game. It was quite even throughout. Man. Utd. just about edged it and deserved the 3 points. Roma were not far off with some of their shots though.

Sometimes I honestly think you're watching different games.

The game was very dull indeed. I think a draw was the fairest result even though Roma made the clearest chances. United looked livelier on the wings, and Rooney took the goal brilliantly. Nani also skinned the Roma defence a few times.

Rio I'd give 8 to - I think he was easily the best player out there last night

I thought Rio was excellent, Totti was their best player and Ronaldo had a few good moments.



Nani varied between fantastic and awful, but he has shown that he has the potential to be a very good player.

Of course he has the potential, but who cares if he ruins a few chances if he also makes a really good chances. Most were all of his own making anyhow. All our good chances came from Nani is some way. He hasnt come into the free flowing team of last year, he has come into a team playing shite, new country only 20 people far to harsh on this guy.

Football Genius wrote:I've watched a little of Nani, and in flashes hes shown some very good touches dribbles and executing (crossing and shooting)

The problem he and the vast majority of young players have is his consistancy, which ultimately will determine whether he becomes a top class player, or a talented one who has indifferent form.

I personally think he'll come good, he looks determined from his body language and performances, he obviously is quick and has an eye for goal, i think its probably his passing that needs some work, i.e when to pass when to run at a player (very much Ronaldos problem when he arrived)

I'd be more concerned about Anderson, simply because currently the role he enjoys playing doesn't exist at Utd, especially with Tevez and Rooney roaming into that space inbetween defence and midfield also.

The knee he twisted while taking a shot?

Calidad wrote:I've not been overly impressed by Nani really. I'd never seen him play in Portugal, so other than the U21 (where I didn't see anything to get excited about) - so him playing for Utd is really the most I've seen of him. He has good technique and a decent shot. Doesn't look particularly skillful, his crossing and passing are average. IMO isn't worth the price tag, and won't be a patch on Giggs (in his prime) Least with Ronaldo you could always tell that he had awesome ability and something special about him.

TRWP wrote:Rio was brilliant last night.

We talk about big game players- Rio is one of them. Usually a bit $h!t against the smaller, less significant games,

but World Cups, Champions Leagues- he was awasome against a very very good attacking Roma side.

Roma ahould do considerably better this season in the CL than the last. A heavyweight of Europe
