When someone told me he beat 5 players, I was expecting to see something Messi'esque. Instead, we see a very determined toe poke and the guy controlling the defenders AI put down his control pad

I knew that a comment like this was coming but if Messi had done something exactly like Buttner did, then everybody would have praised him into the heavens. Messi GOAT! Look how he fools the defenders with his magical feet! But now when it's just some young kid, you react like "hmmph not as good as Messi, defenders r stupid lol"

Talk as much shit about defending as you like.

It's gonna haunt you like a motherfucker.

This is the man who Real Madrid should have signed this summer,not this guy Modric.
Imo Martinez will be one of the best midfielders of the world in one or two years.Shame on Florentino.

to be honest, I didn't see much of him when he played for bilbao. what makes you think that of him?
I am genuinly interested why we paid 40mil for someone pretty unknown so far

 

[Joel Was Right]

Wait. Shearer criticised Joe Allen for his sideways, simple passing?!

MoTD is shite.

Meus said that meant Allen had been "found out."

That isn't what happened. The instances MOTD reviewed Allen's passing, and criticised it, were specifically when there was a pass on to a player upfield. In the selected replays, Allen no doubt saw these players who were more forward but opted to instead pass it sideways. Shearer's criticism was that in the context of being behind in the match, Allen should be trying to advance the ball whenever there was a good chance to do so.

I personally like Allen. I think he's a classy, neat player. My comment was tongue in cheek

I was going to say you were going insane again, but you are actually correct. It was in the "Female Breasts Are Bigger Than Ever..." topic.

Going to use this as a signature. k Mumei plz.

lol

Is it just me or did it seem like the defenders were completely half-assing it there?

 

[Kyoufu]

They didn't want to touch him because it'd be a penalty. Especially when Man United is full of diving tablecloths.

Yep. A lot of goals Messi scores are down to shit defending.

Well, I wouldn't. Personally I don't see how anyone could praise anything but the determination Buttner had in this instance because I see no evidence of the skill associated with beating 5 players here. Let's look at the goal more carefully.

1. He beats his first man well, goes past him
2. But his touch was heavy and a Wigan defender comes in front
3. Buttner actually stops his stride in this instance thinking the defender had the ball
4. But somehow, the Wigan #4 misses the ball under his feet
5. Buttner sees this and is first to react and toe pokes it ahead of the incoming leg of another defender, who doesn't lunge because he realises the angle is too narrow for Buttner to shoot. Instead, and rightly so, he stays with his man (Welbeck) to prevent a pass back across the face of goal.
6. Amazingly, the shot goes on the keepers near post - the same post he was planted at.

Great effort by Buttner but lets not exaggerate. If it was one continuous dribble into the box and the shot went in, then yeah that'd be something special.

I hope when United win the Premier League trophy back they paint it in red tablecloth and return it to the FA like that.

That's the beauty of Buttner. That is the magnitude his dribbling has on players.

Get out

Giak playing the Vidal role? I hope his little legs are up to all that running.

Van Bommel, after 5 matches he has scored 5 yellow cards. Gratz dickwad!

Bonucci...I can finally watch the match on tv (pay tv), can't wait to see Bendtner!

Yeah. I just am not so confident of us winning after the QPR game. It depends how we do against the 3 defenders.

Welbeck and Chicharito worked really well in terms of helping out in defence. Both full of energy.

Probably Real considering they have such a killer squad.

Only because of the last 2 years and the mistakes they have made so far that led to them dropping points.
