Without Ronaldo, Man Utd = Fangless Devil?

Manchester United seems to be a little bit of direction-less recently when Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo is injured now. Statistically, they got a poor results since pre-season games. Or, let’s conclude from community shield match against Portsmouth, till now, they are SUX doing a bad job, right?

So the main things I see from these weeks are the absence of Ronaldo and the shining of Fletcher! I never knew that he can be the HERO for the recent 2 matches.

Honestly, the Red Devils almost got their ass kicked by Magpies 2 weeks ago. Only after Newcastle pulled ahead in the match, Darren Fletcher managed to endure the first defeat of Manchester United. Okay, let’s talk about last week’s game. How awful to only see one goal in the game. Whether the credits are given to the hero of both matches, Manchester United are still incomplete without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although the Red Devil are still manage to string up attacks under Rooney and Tevez, they are unable to produce an extremely frightening result. So, does that mean Ronaldo is the soul of Manchester?

Do Manchester United rely too much on Cristiano Ronaldo? Well, I guess they are…

Fangless or not, I shall conclude from the results they are earning under absence condition of the devil’s favourite, Ronaldo.

Deco —> The Right One?

Published by Jack Ying under EPL Discuss

Brazilian-born Portugese, Deco who is now formerly known as Chelsea FC’s midfielder is performing exceptionally great recently. His form is amazing since he first joined The Blues. This guy has his debut in the 1st premiership game and contributed a goal and an assist…well, once again he made a superb free-kick that sealed away the winning yesterday at the JJB Stadium of Wigan Athletics…

So, is he the right man for The Blues 11?

Well…he is competing with Michael Ballack and local star Frank Lampard for this attacking midfield position. I know you guys are clever and don’t need me to alert you that 3 of them are excellent in free-kicks and penalty…lets see the advantage of each player in this slot…

Deco: Precise passes, wonderful free-kick skills, supporting from the 3/4 of the field. =( OLD!

Lampard: Great vision, powerful shots, penalty-sure-in skill. lame right?

Ballack: powerful long shots, fatal headers

so it’s now back to the 3 Dynasty age whereby

DECO VS LAMPARD VS BALLACK

Which one do you prefer?

…personally, I prefer Ballack because his wages is so high! DON’T WASTE MONEY

he is just the suitable one =)

Arsenal Shaken Down By Fulham

You can’t just expect to see every match played by the strong teams is a victory. Arsenal’s the ideal example for this statement…you all know, they always concede and chase back like a mad cow to win the game. Frankly, I am kinda annoyed with this problem which has been haunting the gunners for such a long time. I wonder if they know, no matter how strong is a team they will still be an underdog if they concede earlier.

Okay…okay, I’m sorry if I make you fury. Back to the score sheet, Arsenal couldn’t bomb Fulham into pieces. The gunners even lost the sure-win war against Fulham. Don’t you think it’s a huge disgrace for them? Hangeland freaked Arsenal out in the 1st half whereby mentally, Arsenal is WEAK in this…

Well, perhaps the reason they lost is the injury problem. Yes, ya read that right…Cesc Fabregas was injured, Rosicky as well…their midfield used to rule the premiership with great young players…but the Arsenal today is no more the gunner it used to be…

Gilberto is out, Hleb is also sold out to Barcelona! That was shocking, to me…even though they own Nasri now, he is still young and lack of big game experience…or can I say calmness? Eboue is not a bad product, but he is not stable enough…talk about the attacking line, Eduardo’s out, Adebayor and Van Persie couldn’t get enough ball force from the midfield…I’m afraid they have to work themselves as midfield too?

Arsenal has an unstable defence line…William Gallas who was excellent in Chelsea last time often makes mistakes now, setting up goals to opponents, sad case huh? Former bench warmer of Red Devils, Mikael Silvestre is considered as old now…as the gunners always sell the late 20s off to others…So why did Wenger bought him? To solve the inexperience defence line?…guess it!

But all in all, the gunners’ playing style is still amazing and as smooth as water flow…they might not be a leader in football sector now, but soon or later, when maturity reaches to them…cups also follow them.
