Rooney looked very poor last night whist Zenit, admittedly playing at home, were a long way better.

There was all the commentator guff about Man U never taking the Super Cup seriously but that looked like their strongest squad available with their first choice XI except the injured Ronaldo on the park.

PS I know it was played in Monaco but the south of France is as Russian as Kallingrad these days.

The Russians looked good, but aren't they in midseason?

WOnder if Bullard will be off. Is it true that Hodgson doesn't rate his game? Etuhu isn't that bad - a so so archetypal holding midfielder. It's really hard to judge a defensive midfielder because it seems to be a position in which you can get away without taking risks with your game.

I mean, if you are low on confidence, you can still charge around, fly into tackles and defend like mad. In other words, you can still do a reasonable job at DM. And if you don't trust your passing, performing 5 yard sideways passes is not going to have the fans screaming for blood because they don't expect great creativity from a DM.

However, if a striker or a winger is low on confidence, he loses his most crucial assets of decisive passing, dribbling and shooting, which makes it much more of a struggle.

Bullard won't be leaving, hopefully I am not made to eat my words. Bullard wants to be involved in everything in the game which frustrates Roy as he prefers players who hold their position etc. But if you take that away from Bullard he becomes distinctly average.

Etuhu is crap. Can't pass a ball. Failed at Preston Norwich and Sunderland.

Err, I just saw Mike Ashley downing a pint in one go in the stands at the Emirates on MOTD.

I thought that was illegal?

He also tried to sneak off 6mins from time and returned once he learned he had been spotted by the Setanta cameras :P

In all fairness if we have Dunn and RSC back we will give Arsenal a very good game, they don't travel the best and also Newcastle where shocking going forward :huh:

and now Grenau (sp) the guy Nicko said and Zabaleta from Espanyol.

That's 13 defenders, how many do they need?

10-0-0 is the new comfort zone.

They still need 3 more defenders to fill the bench though.
