Is it time for the Liverpool Boom Bust cycle to kick in again?

He was good in 2007/08 but he was shite 2008/2009, all headless running about and no end product and he couldn't accept his role as a squad player, Owen will do so and is more likely to nick a goal.

Again, no dount you've slagged the fuck out of Owen somewhere on this site. You're such a typical manc scum. :p

Last season I got in loads of arguments with United fans for saying Berbatov was far better than Tevez and that Tevez's work rate blinded people to his short comings.

As for Owen, I never liked him much but I can see his role in the squad and as a freebie he's worth the risk.
 
According to the blurt -
Tevez was World class a couple of months ago, now he's shit.

Tevez looked world class in 2007/08 especially considering his age but he was shite in 2008/09 and showed himself as a nob who can't grasp the point of a squad. Maybe he will come good this season and show his potential but that won't change the fact that last season he was rather shit and so people talking of how Fergie will fill his place are missing the point, namely that he was largely a passenger last season and United still won the league and got to the CL final.
 
Giggs can still do a job used sparingly as he was last year, Nani will be expected to step up, Anderson can only improve, Fletcher has come on a lot, Neville hasn't been a regular right back for nearly two seasons now, fingers crossed Hargreaves is back before christmas and Valencia coming in allows Rooney more freedom.

Out of your midfield players coming in I rate Carrick, Hargreaves and Park. The others aren't consistent enough, that's where Man Utd have found strength in recent years. Nani and Anderson have quality but I can't see them developing into a Ronaldo or a Scholes. Valencia is decent but not world class. Owen and Rooney partnership didn't work that well for England. Rooney will probably score more up front with Berbatov.



As for replacing Tevez, well a jack russel could have done his job last season.

He is a meathead, but with some pace and could make a pass. His postional play is pretty good too and without Ronaldo I'd have wanted him rifling free kicks into the net from 30 yards. Hardly the headless chicken you're making him out to be. :D

Owen will be played as a squad player or start against weaker teams in games United will more than likely dominate, the rest of the time it will likely be Berbatov and Rooney and with Ronaldoaway that gives them alot more freedom, not to mention service from a more typical winger.
 
Nah ronaldo just did 4 steps overs, he was proper shit he was.:D

but world class in 2008.

can valencia or toxic cross a ball? i don't think valencia is paticularly known for getting to the byline.

But Ronaldo's pace will be missed. I always thought United have been most dangerous this past few seasons on the break, good one touch football passing to Ronaldo who could then use his pace to get into a dangerous position in which he would go it alone or pass a ball through to Rooney who's always a threat. I don't know much about this Valencia kiddo but he's no Ronaldo that's for sure.
 
Playing every week he might score a few, given that you don't lose world class in a season.

Well it certainly looked like Tevez did, granted it was probably something to do with Berbatov joining but it doesn't change the fact that his output for United was really rather poor and yet somehow he was treated like a fans hero just cos he runs around a lot.

If Tevez had been able to adjust to the squad system and kept up his performances from 07/08 I'd have loved him to say at United but since it was obvious he wouldn't and couldn't I think the squad is better off rid.
 
But Ronaldo's pace will be missed. I always thought United have been most dangerous this past few seasons on the break, good one touch football passing to Ronaldo who could then use his pace to get into a dangerous position in which he would go it alone or pass a ball through to Rooney who's always a threat.

yeah the team will change but Valencia is fast.

If you watched United a lot last season you would see they were definitely in a transition between the fluid front 3 of past seasons and a more traditional front two with wingers. This one of the reasons they failed to set the world on fire in terms of their football last season in comparison to the past few.

Like I've said before I'm pretty excited about seeing how it will all work out, especially with all the young talent coming through.
 
I reckon Chelsea as I did on the same thread I started pissed a week back:D

It will be close though think Chelsea will be better this year, Liverpool will not beat Utd and Chelsea 4 times.

As a Utd fan I'm quite excited, Andersen has to come good I think he has the makings of an unbelievably good player and Hargreaves has to get fit., Berbatov will have more of an impact ( though if you think he was poor last year you know f all about the game ) Rooney will come to the the fore so losing Ronaldo will be lessened though to lose the best / 2nd best player in the world has to have an impact.

The defence which in all honesty won us the league last year is as it was though the Da Silva's hopefully playing more plus Owen will score a load, and am curious as to Tosic, Valencia, Wellbeck and Macheda....gonna be close but if you'd asked me 3 years ago, your gonna win the next 3 titles and a champions league though nothing the year after I'd have bitten your arm off
