Wilfried Zaha has recently came out and stated he felt “worthless” at Manchester United. Zaha made just four appearances in all competitions for United. He rejoined Palace on a season-long deal last summer before making the move permanent in January. And Zaha has now revealed the moment he knew his time was up. “There is nothing worse than not being involved. You are sitting there thinking ‘what exactly am I? A footballer who is not playing football?’ You feel a bit worthless sitting in the stands, watching all the time. You have nothing to speak about with the players. “If you have played the game then it’s ‘well done’ or ‘you should have passed here or there’. But when you haven’t played, I think people lose a bit of respect for you. I think they are thinking ‘well, he’s not played’. They don’t have anything to speak to you about. It’s a big thing. “And I’m frustrated when I am not playing. My family is frustrated. My friends are frustrated. “It was difficult when it came to a game at United and they were asking me for tickets and asking ‘are you playing?’ and that used to cut deep because I would think: ‘I can’t just invite my family’ because I had that doubt in my head as to whether I was even going to be in the squad. “They would come to United and I would be in the stands. Now I am just able to say ‘here’s tickets. I am starting the game’. I am happy again. “The last straw - when I thought ‘I need to go’ was when United played in the Capital One Cup against MK Dons. I went down there and didn’t play at all. There were reserves who came on and I thought 'I can’t just sit here and not be given a chance’. “I spoke to Van Gaal and he said that right now I wasn’t good enough to get into the first team and I put my hands up and thought ‘no problem, I will go on loan’. "I’d rather he told me. Before that it was just rumours and here was a straight answer. I appreciated that and so I came back to Palace.” [Source: Guardian] Good you are gone. We couldn't afford all that selection headache. |

coogar: You are the one that needs brighter grammar. Martin Skrtel has 90.5% pass accuracy in the league this season....He is a better passer than David Silva John Terry has 89.6% pass accuracy in the league this season...He is a better passer than Fabregas Afrodoc please give this guy two shots of Jegaquin stat! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 12:12pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
coogar: He's supposed to have more accurate passes cause all he does is pass the ball sideways and backwards, anybody can do that, that doesn't make him a better passer of the ball than herrera, like someone rightly said, cleverly's passes are the "no be my hand e go take spoil" kind of passes, but when you try to compare that to the kinda passes herrera and fabregas make, that's just absurd Cleverly might pass the ball more accurately, but how many leads to goals? His accurate passes are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 12:21pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
Nihilist: yes he is! he passes the ball more accurately than david silva.
yes, he is. terry passes the ball better than cesc. it's called passing accuracy, not key passes or through balls. passing accuracy = the ratio of the completed passes to attempted passes.
you are not smarter than a 10-year old. dopeJemi: don't confuse yourself. passing the ball accurately = passing accuracy passing leading to goal = assists passing leading to a shot = key pass cleverley is better than herrera in the first criterion but herrera is better in the bottom 2. why a player must have better passing accuracy is irrelevant. whether it goes sideways or backwards or skywards is also irrelevant. |

Hey Scummies, i found a buyer for Falcao....... Notts County Football Club are interested in bringing the 4 goals in 20 odd games striker to their club next season Please permit me to intimate Mr Falcao of the interest....... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 12:29pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
Lol. I'm not even sure we're having this argument, but I'll chip something in nonetheless. I read one of the pages that herrera had more key passes per min ratio because he played higher up the pitch(before the stats was thrown into the gutter) Surely it also follows that cleverley posts consistently higher passing accuracy stats because he plays down the pitch. If he were asked to play in a more advanced position, it'll be a different story entirely. 1 Like |

Herrera is receiving so much praises back home in Spain. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:33pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
There are footballers who need a wide space before they can ask for the ball while there are others who are always asking for the ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dopeJemi: 12:38pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
coogar: I know, that was why I agreed to your assertion that he passes the ball more accurately based on his number of backwards and sideways passes, but you need to understand that anybody can do it, de gea go get 100percent pass accuracy if he want... If herrera decides today that he wants to start passing the ball like cleverly, he will do it with ease, no be just to dey pass backwards and sideways? It's that easy... It's just like comparing a student that solves only 1+1 to a student that does calculus, will you now say the student that does 1+1 is more knowledgeable in that field than the one that does calculus? in order for you to know calculus you must have passed through the 1+1 stage and mastered it coogar: I don't know if you understand the math logic I just used 4 Likes |

dopeJemi: passing accurately is not easy. if i pull out cleverley's forward passes out from OPTA, you would be shocked. it's just too cliche to say deep-lying midfielders with high passing stats must have gotten it from sideways & backward passes.
but the problem with this analogy is, fabregas fails at simple tasks like 1+1.
i understand perfectly but there's no reason to think cleverley cannot do calculus. he was never tested with calculus. SAF just told him to stick to the basics - doing 1 + 1. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:53pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
I agree with Coogar. The pupil who solves 1+1 knows arithmetic better. The student who solves calculus knows mathematics better. dopeJemi whay can't you recognize the difference between the two? Ukwu!!! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 12:56pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
elampiro: they said cleverley couldn't have made herrera's pass to mata, i provided evidence of a more difficult pass by tom cleverley via gif. they said herrera passes more accurately, stats proved cleverley is actually better at it. you and your cohorts are running out of excuses. elampiro: nihilist - he's lunch for me. this is my ready-made reply for him.

coogar: C'mon it's easy jhoor, if not mikel, skrtel etc will not be having high passing accuracy, wetin them dey pass coogar: Proof? Even if, fab is not the kinda player that goes for the backwards and sideways passes often, he's more interested in creating chances, making assists and that's more important than what cleverly does coogar: Make I naked baff if cleverly fit do calculus |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:59pm On Apr 08, 2015 |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 1:13pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
elampiro: not every player would play for barca. dopeJemi: it's not easy.
check the cesc link i posted above. the ethos of the team differs. in a club like barcelona, fabregas would suffer abuses cos all those through passes & hollywood passes aren't in their DNA. barca makes risk-free passes. until there's an opening, they don't risk it.
so why was cesc dumped by barca then? he couldn't displace busquets in the national team or at barca? is busquets more creative than fab? why is busquets preferred?
the gif i provided wasn't only calculus. it was laplace transforms - advanced calculus. |

coogar:Cleverly is just a safe passer of the ball and not an adventurous one like Herrera.He is bound to have more more completion rate just like Mikel. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 2:01pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
folba: thank you! so you agree he has a better passing accuracy than herrera? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by folba(m): 2:05pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
coogar:That's glaring to see now, but I will still choose handicapped Herrera over a fit Cleverly |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 2:05pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
I'll be surprise if mikel passing accuracy isn't higher than herrera's |
