They were useless by then. Old age and the exertions of winning 3 in a row.



100% better.



The only goalkeeping skill VDS has over De Gea is commanding his box.

Peak De Gea beats him in distribution, agility, instinct, shot stopping, etc.

It’s not even debatable.

You mentioned distribution and Degea in the same sentence? grin grin

Degea is a better shot stopper than VDS?

This Bruno won't get in ahead of Scholes. Scholes was a midfield controller which suited that style we played back then. Most of our attacks were from the wings.

Bruno is not Scholes level na. Schole is clearly better. Leyqute was like the 2008 scholes is already old and not at his peak

Park? Fergie will throw his shoes at you for making this comment...

Giggs over Bruno...Giggs was just too intelligent and his deliveries were most times spot on...

Tevez over Rashford for me sha.

E be like say this people no even watch that 2008 team well. For me nobody in this current team gets into that first XI.
Giggs and Scholes are better than Bruno and Pogba.
Tevez is better than all our attackers.

In this our current squad only Rashford, Pogba, DDG, Bruno and Shaw will make the bench.

There are still JSpark and Fletcher still waiting oo

He was suspended in the semis vs Arsenal...That suspension killed any chance we had because like Flamini in 2006 or thereabout, he was one of the best DM in world in that season...

Fletcher was on cheat mode that season. That ref gave him red card in error against Arsenal for what was a world class tackle. If VAR had be around that time it would have been overturned. Fergie had to start Anderson in the final. So sad

Giggs and Scholes of 2008 weren’t better than Pogba and Bruno. They didn’t even have the energy or the intensity. They were luxury players.

If we are comparing their peak, then you are right. Giggs was a substitute in Moscow and he stank the whole joint with his hopeless performance. He missed a glaring chance when Evra put him in with a delicious cross.

Alabi can't ever disappoint sha. Rashford over Tevez? Bruno over Giggs? You even prefer Pogba to Park..... LMFAO! Same Pogba Sir Alex would rather play ageing Scholes ahead of him?

Alabi no watch that team dont blame him. Rashford no fit even clean Tevez shoe, lol.
Bruno na my guy but Giggs and Scholes are not his level.

Same way Nani was red-carded against Madrid, we would have won that game.

Fergie got his tactics wrong in those 2 finals (09 and 11).

The exertions of the season probably wore him down at that World Cup.

This was his 17/18 stats in comparison to other PL GKs.

He faced 120 shots on target and conceded only 23 goals. This isn’t even the complete stats cos the season hadn’t ended when these stats was produced.

Just compare to Ederson(who would be VDS equivalent) back then because of the brilliant defensive unit at City.
This is how you know the defence covers the goalies.

None of the current Players can make the starting XI.

Bench? De Gea has a chance. Bruno for O'shea and Shaw for Sylvester.

Oshea is not going out of that sub bench, he is one of the first name on that bench alongside Park. Lol. He can play anywhere in the field very comfortably even as a keeper. I remember his late winning goal at Anfield and his winner versus Arsenal in UCL 1st leg semis 2009.

Well, Barcelona would still have dominated possession but Fletcher would've been massive for us in midfield, his break up play that season was a huge plus for us...
I agree he would have been massive, Dude had an amazing CL season that year. Sad he missed the final thru suspension. But that Xavi na senior man, he made Barcelona and even the Spanish national team play tikitaka to good effect.

Scholes was 34 then - a shadow of his former self. Alex Ferguson was silly to have started him in Moscow to be honest against the powerful Chelsea midfield trifecta.

Makelele, Ballack & Lampard taught Fergie a lesson in that second half. United were on the ropes for most of that half with Drogba hitting the post and Chelsea getting all the big chances.

Drogba’s red card gave all the advantage to United.

Drogba got a red card in the 116th min that is 4 mins to the end of the the entire game, So what advantage did that give United that they didn't have in the 115mins he played?

Both sides neutralized each other. And were equally matched. Any side could have won

The last time he did at Allianz Arena, the mighty Bayern fell on their sword.

Similar outcome would have happened in Moscow.

Bruno my struggle in that 4-4-2 because his role might clash with that of Rooney leaving carrick Isolated. Except he will have to drop deeper to just in front of Carrick to orchestrate play. And he is already doing that now.
For me it will be.

VDS
BACK. FOUR
Carrick
Ronaldo Bruno. J.S.Park.
Rooney. Tevez
