The Manchester United Thread

Why MUST a player have a standout quality at this age? What he's equally good at multiple things, nothing stands out, but no weakness stands out either. Messi at age 20 had nothing that stood out as his one strength, because he has multiple strengths. You could say his dribbling is his standout, but that's ignorant to his finishing, you could say his finishing stands out, but that's ignorant to his pace. You could easily argue it's better for players to not stand out at a young age and for them to be more all rounded, so they can be moulded into what you need/want them to be, rather than what their 'stand out' is. Would you rather have Walcott with standout pace, or a player that can pass, finish, cross and with some pace to burn? One player is one dimensional, the other has multiple aspects.

And I'm not saying it's bad for players to have stand out abilities, far from it. Just showing the flaw in your logic.

My point is that he's not rounded. He's a decent finisher, but he's not that quick, not a great crosser, not a great header of the ball. If he's got a strength it's his finishing, but even that is hot and cold as we saw with the chance he had yesterday to make it 2-1 in normal time (I think?). He's not good at everything which is the problem. When your game isn't rounded you need a stand out attribute and he doesn't have one of those either. That's why I was pointing out all the individual strengths of other players that were young.

In short, yes. He seems unwilling to use his obvious strength and take players on for pace, something that he did so, so well in his first season, contributing heavily to Rooney's great goal tally. Maybe he's just not being greedy enough at the moment?

He keeps checking onto his left, which is pointless since hes useless with it
 
Its actually quite worrying becuase his game is about roasting the fullback using speed and strength and crossing in a beauty, he doesnt offer too much else
 
This is hilarious XD

Who is it lol

Athe~, you criticised Fletcher?

You can't do that on this forum; as the majority of United supporters on here honestly rate him.

Strange I know, but that's how it's done 'round here. :$
 
You know who I think's ****? Yaya Toure. The man has no stand-out attributes. I mean yeah, he can do everything to a near world-class standard, but you need to specialise in SOMEthing...

Ah GC, you are good for a chuckle. Comparing Yaya to Fletcher in itself was something, but that line stood out. (K)
 
Yeah Fletcher is rubbish, awful player, Wilson Palacios is better than him as said by Spurs supporters here last year.

Fletcher will never be a good player even though for some reason SAF keeps on playing him in every key game. Countless superb performances against Arsenal, Milan, Liverpool and so many other teams. He kept on producing goods for years in every single big game, still he is not good enough. Mind boggling.

Work rate, Will to win, decent passing, close down players not giving them space, big game mentality.

What does Hernandez brings to the team that Bent doesn't?
 
Fletcher is totally a bad player.
I mean what kinda player has 4 Premier League titles, 1 FA cup, 2 Football League cups, 4 Community shields, 1 champions league and 1 club world cup medals?
God he's so bad oO)
