There's a saying that you should pick your battles wisely. He just took on the wrong guy. </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/preview-united-v-newcastle-united-1/page/5#post-61735 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 01:41:38 +0000 sidney 61735@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <p>The ABUs take the heat off the players though.</p> <p>We almost fucked up that 6 point lead. Within two games it could have disappeared. This is the team that bottled an 8 point lead last season n all.

I'll give him a few games yet...</p> <p>I still have (against abundant evidence otherwise) faith that Valencia will come good, sooner or later. The last 20 mins of the game shows his promise and potential..the cross that led to RVP goal and the cross that Hernadez headed to the post....still not enough i agree, but shows promise nonetheless</p> <p>Anyhow...great game, great character, and we're 7 points ahead despite the shambolic defending. Life is (so far) so good.... </p> http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/topic/preview-united-v-newcastle-united-1/page/5#post-61656 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:09:41 +0000 Denton Davey 61656@http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum/ <div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">Posted by unregistered user: <span class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo_name">Denton Davey</span></div><p>Anantax @ 5:59: &#8220;Our defense is shambolic, but as I posted earlier I thought we were okay going forward.&#8221;</p> <p>Shambolic is pretty accurate BUT there are extenuating circumstances</p> <p>first, when Rio plays he requires a minder because he&#8217;s just not very mobile anymore; and,</p> <p>second, when Scholes plays he also needs a minder because he has no recovery whatsoever.</p> <p>Playing both together creates another problem &#8211; no pressing from midfield and an open run at the defensive zone for the opposition with two guys (Evans and Carrick today) more concerned with &#8220;minding&#8221; than playing their own game, secure in the knowledge that their partner will not require special assistance.</p> <p>In addition, the last two matches have shown quite clearly that neither MrJones nor BigManSmalling is an adequate replacement for RedRafa at right back.
