Seriously, don't get carried away. Our crappy tactics and starting formation of 4-5-1 made you look far, far better than you actually are.

Without Arteta, you don't really have much else.

Spot on, we play our best football when 4-4-2 as has been proved against Man City/Chelsea and many more occasions. We simply dont have the players that are good enough to play 4-5-1 and get a result yet Brown still plays it

you simply dont have the players that are good enough to play full stop

I don't think there was anything wrong with Hull's formation, it's the players. They are just dumb lower league standard players. Whenever Baines, Neville, Jagielka or Distin got the ball they had a choice between Arteta, Heitinga and Yakubu all the time. Hull just didn't get close enough.

Defending in football is generally a choice between man marking and zonal marking. Hull were doing neither, they were getting 10 men behind the ball, but leaving Arteta completely unmarked.

If you are playing against Everton you man mark Arteta, you man mark Pienaar and you push up to stop Baines getting down the wing. Hull sat deep and ignored Everton's dangermen.

Look at Utd's trophy count since the signing of Carrick then come back to me.

You will also find that gun crime has risen as the popularity of Buckaroo has fallen.

How many international caps has the world class midfielder got?

Prefer Klasnic over him every time.

I think Klasnic is a smashing player. Would love to see him and CY Lee at City. Lee is my favourite non-City player at the moment. I like watching him play. Genuinely clever and skillful footballer.

Everton were irresistable again today. Is there a better left sided combination in the Premier League than Baines and Pienaar? Both sensational again today. As was Sir Mikel of Arteta, he's getting back to his best and I find it quite staggering that the big clubs haven't at least tried to sign him. Sensational today.

Young Jack the lad came on again for his goalscoring cameo. Tag another million onto the price tag everytime he scores.

ah the destitute mans xabi alonso...............

Remind me who Alonso plays for? Arteta is better than any Liverpool midfielder bar Stevie G. Care to answer back to that?

Re: Even More Football Chat : Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:48 am  

Lucas> Arteta

I think we've been linked with Lee too. He's a class player.
