Fergie really is going senile if he reckons Rafael didnt deserve a red card today.
I think this shows just how far we have come. It was Man Utd's best team vs (arguably) our best team and we completely out played them. I agree we could do with a top quality striker but, at the moment, so could Utd, Chelsea and The Scum. City are the only team with a top class striker atm.
The main reason we didn't score today wasn't Harry or crouch, it was because Man Utd have an absolutely rock solid defense
The analogy I would use for Crouch is that if I were a salesman and I never made a sale, then I'd expect the sack. If I were a Premiership striker and I failed to score more than 1 goal in 22 attempts then I would expect to be shot, dropped and sold.
He a fucking waste of a shirt.
I respectfully disagree. We had several scoring chances that a proper striker could have hit home. Crouch was mostly shit, and if we ever use him it should be as a second striker in a 4-4-2, not as the lone man up front against one of the best teams in the world.
rebrab;2115901[B said:Crouch didn't play that badly btw[/B], and Harry made us outplay Man U.
On a side not, Modric was fantastic. Unbelievable. Best non-scoring performance I've seen from any player in the world this season.

Why would Arry play Crouch against two of the best center backs in the league when he is so weak in the air and they so strong? Because he is clueless. What was the point of letting Defoe on for Palacios when we kept hoofing the ball towards Crouch he kept not winning it? There was not. Arry just hoped that one of those long balls might bounce off and Defoe might be around to poke it in. That is not how attacking football should be played. Attacking football should be played with creativity, innovation, flavor, etc. I saw nothing of this today in our game, just nonstop crosses and long balls - pathetic. And it has been like it for a while now. We have these excellent players and all we do is play this boring shit.
I watched Everton earlier and their passing and movement is so much better than ours, they outplayed the Losers on their own turf, and this with them not having any starts in their team.

If only we had a decent striker...
