The ratings were a little tongue in cheek but i think the point is proved that on a best available players scenario we are again on paper good enough. Why is it therefore that we fall behind when it comes to cohesion and tactical nouse when compared to the other two. And yes the "squads" differ in size and talent available ect ect ect... this is just meant to begin a debate. Look at the number of youth players again showing for Manure, Fergie makes a ponit of surrounding his youth with the first team as early as possible. Rafa either refuses, or does not have the confidence to do this.
To simply reject a members idea out of hand or just call something someone has written nonsense or pointless is a bit nonsensical when you offer no reason as to why, and show no evidence at all that you have even read it properly or even got the point.
Its just that theres no point in comparing players from different teams. A player can be viewed as good against a lesser player on paper but the team he is in plays in is sh'ite
Therefore he is not playing to his potential and therefore cant be classed as good
This "man for man" idea will never catch on
I think someone tried it before and it didnt work then
