Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Enfield Exile"icon_lol.gif Anderson a good passer of the ball?
 www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> You are kidding me. Virtually everytime I see him play his passing is best described as 'hit and miss'. '"
He plays some fantastic through balls, and his long range passing is quite good as well. Not as good as Carrick's but still very good. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"I would say that Johnson is superior at running with the ball (after all he has an end product), better in front of goal and his movement is top class.'" />
I won't argue with that. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"I’ll accept that defensively Anderson is better than Johnson. Anderson is good at driving the ball forward but he lacks any kind of threat, which kind of makes his runs a bit powder puff and generally unproductive. '"
I honestly think Anderson's runs, especially from defence are quality, and are very good in setting up counter attacks. I would like to see him improve the use of his right foot a bit more, and sometimes his decision making lets him down, but he's still young he has time to learn. It's interesting that he is selected for Brazil regularly. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"Speaking to United supporting mates, Anderson has been poor this year, and they don’t think he is good enough. Interesting that you have a completely different take on him. '"
He didn't play at the start of the season as he was involved in the Olympics. Fletcher played superbly during his absence and it wouldn't have been fair to drop him when Anderson returned. When he has played, IMO he has done a decent job, until he picked up his injury. />
Are your mates by any chance the same people who slate O'Shea and Fletcher week in, week out?
Quote ="Enfield Exile"The Spurs issue is irrelevant. I rate Berbatov highly. Please explain why I rate Berbatov but I don't rate Carrick. '"
Because Berbatov is a world class talent. Anyone who doesn't rate him needs their head checking. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"He did nothing wrong against Spain? Are you kidding me? His passing was garbage, he went hiding, was made to look slow and immobile by the Spanish midfield, and he offered the defence little protection. Barry carried the midfield that night. He had to do the work of two as Carrick has the heart of a mouse. '"
He had a fairly decent game. After only two days of training together it's difficult to get your passing range to suit the players around you. But I still didn't think he did anything wrong. />
I didn't really think anyone except Wright-Phillips had a good game. His tracking back to cover the left back in the second half was fantastic, and when he was on the ball England looked like they could cause a threat. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile" I would say a far more likely reason (than Carrick) for United winning the CL was because all the of big guns in Europe were in a mess – Barca, Real and Milan, in particular. Because Barca have stabilised themselves, there is no way on earth you would get past Barca in the CL this season. '"
Our defence kept Barcelona at bay for 180 minutes. They couldn't break us down. That is also down to the midfield in front of them. Of course it's going to be very hard to win the CL this season, getting past Inter is going to be hard enough, but we certainly have the team to shut out sides as well as score goals.
I don't think it's right at all that we only won the CL because other sides were $hite though. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"It’s this again. Apparently Evra was one of the players of the year, others have said Vidic, some have said Ferdinand, Rooney etc.. Do you lot just name a different player when it suits you? '"
Vidic has been without doubt the best player this season. Apart from VDS he is the only player to have played every minute of our clean sheet record. You'll probably find that just about anyone who has seen United this season will say that Vidic has been the best player. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"Let's get this straight. Carrick is a good Prem midfielder. However, he is not international class. He won't be top class because he cannot take a grip of the game and drive a team forward.'" />
I'm quite happy with what he offers United. />
Quote ="Enfield Exile"If Michael Carrick played for a team like Spurs, there league position would not be improved. However, if a top class midfielder, say Roy Keane in his day (my goodness, it hurt saying that) would improve Spurs greatly and they would probably be top 6 or 7.'"
Roy Keane would have improved any side in England and probably Europe. There is no way on Earth that Keane and Carrick can be compared.

Quote ="Lord God Jose Mourinho"[iFerguson himself was relaxed enough to be wry about his difficulties with Mourinho's teams. "I don't like to think about one victory in 12," he said. "If the others were all defeats I would worry." There have been five draws in the encounters. On the basis of current reputation, the visitors should at least add to that little mound of deadlocked matches today so long as injuries do not undermine them.[/i />
Mourinho 6 wins. 5 Draws. Ferguson 1 win. One of those draws is also weighted in Mourinho's favour because it was the second leg of a CL tie, which Porto won. />
Mourinho has beaten the **** out of Ferguson. Hopefully it will continue in their next two matches. But even then it's only going to be because the poor babies have got too many injuries.

Amazing that considering what they both achieved during Mourinhos time in england. And I count last season in this even though Jose didn't manage to see it out until the end

You are talking about Mourinho owning Ferguson, right? I mean, 5-1 is a pretty convincing victory.
