Van Nistelrooy not suitable to play for manutd

HyuugaNeji SG

I think manutd's gameplay was seriously affected by van nistelrooy last time. manutd has always known to be quick and attack relentlessly but somehow, RVN always slow things down.

Although RVN do have some burst of pace at time and good 1-2 techniques, RVN tend to slow down the whole manutd team's attack. Hes' also famous for being their no1 striker and goal poacher(He beat anyone including Rooney in goal scoring anyway) so there's a tendency to pass the ball to him instead of going for glory for yourself(which is what manutd is famous for)

you are partly right and wrong.

MUFC always tried to play with a central striker and two wings.
Mark Hughes, RVN, even Brian McClair.. a Central striker has to hold the ball before the rest can attack.

but since RVN left, with Saha, willing to cooperate more, and also saha being more pacey, was MUFC able to demo this fact...

Also current MUFC's play is down the maturity of Ronaldo, Carrick and return of Scholes, EdwinVS, Vidic all contributed.

Cause now the defence is sound, they are more willing to go forward, in the past, they tend to push to Keane or Scholes, and it slowed down the game.

Now, they dare to push it to Carrick or even Giggs, who will then led the charge, cause they know Rooney, Ronaldo or even Park will be up there, and each got their own unique threat. If they fail, their defence can still hold the fort. Not just one factor. IMHO.

is your watch still showing year 2005?

used SG

the only reason why he was good is because there was consistant supply from the wings like becks and giggs. and also tt time they had keane so scholes was given the freedom to roam and play as the playmaker.

ruuud needs a team to support him. notice that 90% of his goals come from inside the box? he does not dare to shoot from distance and rather pass than to shoot when he is outside.

when becks left, so were the days of ruud scoring 30 over goals. giggs was still producing but scholes was playing more defensive cos of keane's fallout wif saf.

saha was bought cos they need a team player who can drift out to the flanks or help back in defence. but no more ruud wad! whyare you still dwelling on the past???

check van nistelrooy’s at manu before posting thank you, he scored 100+ goals for manu in EPL, even when becks is gone, van nistelrooy is not like peter crouch, he can score in one on one situations, but not only in air
