Shocking performance and was shown up by Roy Keane and Paul Scholes. This is the third massive game this season he simply failed to perform in. He's got everything in his locker, thats what really pisses me off about him. Buck up, or ****** off.
that's a bit harsh stu.
I think the issue we have is this....
When Ronaldinho has a poor game, chances are Larsson, Xavi or Eto'o will produce the goods.
If Robben doesnt play well, either Duff or Lampard will dictate things, more often than not.
Where Ronaldo doesnt deliver, usually Raul, Zidane or Figo has done.
Point being this...the best sides in the world have more than one world class player, so when one doesnt perform, they usually have others who do...and this can mask the fact that the other one hasnt been very good.
Our problem is that we dont.
That's really all there is to it, IMO.
i'm more or less agreeable with u...
SG didnt play that badly but he could have raised his level easily by one or two standards
and he didnt run at defenders that much(that scare the hell out of them)
