I agree (sorry Griff).
I have no problems with the team RM named. They are “Premier League squad players”. They should be out to impress and convince him they are ready to contend for PL places. It is not his fault that they did not.
I have defended Boselli in the past, saying he is a poacher, and isn’t given a chance. Against Bradford and today he proved he is no more than a benchwarmer (and yes be honest a waste of a bench place). If the service isn’t coming to him then he needs to make things happen.
Stam disappointed. He can on occasion take on PL defenders. He didn’t seem willing or able to do that today against Division 1 opponents.
I thought Redmond played well in the first half, and McManaman was nowehere near as good in the second half when pushed out wide.
I had hoped that Henriquez would add sparkle. OK – maybe a few mistimed touches didn’t go as he would have wished – but I fear he’s not going to change the world.
Noticeable that the better players today – Boyce, Figueroa, Gomez (yes, I though the played well) – are the ones who have appeared at league level. The others failed to impress when they had the stage to themselves.
I think we’ll win the replay – but we should not have needed to go to a replay.
George, absolutely no need to apologise. In fact , I agree with everything you said, apart from us winning the replay.
My post was designed to see if our rare poster had anything to add to his minimalist post.

unfortunately, think not (agree with Griff :huh: )
Henriquez – all too apparent why he’s not banging on the first team door (Welbeck /Hernandez are …), if we’re pinning our hopes on him whilst Kone’s at the ANC (here’s hoping he doesn’t do an Alcaraz – ouch my groin#) then we’re in for some fun (not).
# happened to bump into wife of our captain marvellous over Xmas break.
when asked what Alcaraz was up to, her curt response was ‘ I’m only interested in what Gary’s doing ..’ (read into that what you will …)
Disagree about Henriquez. I watched him closely when he came on and was impressed by his movement off the ball. He got into loads of good positions but if nobody passes the ball to you then you can’t do anything with it. If the comment about not being able to trap the ball is based on the incident in front of the west stand, the ball had taken a wicked deflection and was spinning all over the place.

that’s why Manure are £27M outta pocket, no doubt.
wish henriquez all the best, just a pity it isn’t ‘little pea'(back in the Utd. fold)
if my memory serves me well, manure paid ~£8M for ‘little pea’, we paid £6m for Bosselli. NIGHT and DAY
