It seems to be an issue in football now. Pirlo was doing the same for Juve last night, and I've seen it so many times over the last couple of seasons. Stick a man on the front post and you're guaranteed to block it.

hmm.... Well that's bollox, cause most of our players "off-form" land in that bottom 3 bracket. Not too many manage to stay at a high level when off form.
assist against Southampton?
Sell Nani & play jd on the wing. My statue can replace Carrick. 
Personally I don't like that style of player. I prefer someone with more nous.
Also I have no evaluation of his impact, I jave just said that I wouldn't enjoy playing with him and members of the team seem to agree.
I'm just saying that perhaps there is a reaosn so many fans and players find him frustrating.
To be fair you have admitted his flaws but for a good while the only retort was that he created 5 chances. I just see the debate as being a bit wider.
It probably has nothing to do with United having a game plan to hit that front post area.
And to be fair, everyone in our squad is shite at them. Young cam with a good reputation for corner taking and well, he takes pretty much exactly the same ones as Nani.
Oh, and Nani had an assist v Southampton with just that front area corner right?
How the feck is an analogy, no matter how poor, snide?
How does playing okay = playing shite?
I haven't seen anyone say he played shit, but that he was good in parts and poor in others. Seems a balanced view IMO.
I have a theory I like to call "The Irish don't like Nani"
Cina is the exception that proves the rule...
Ok... back in a sec, you seem to have issues reading.
Are you fecking retarded?
It's you who can't read. I said 25% of people said he played okay, you think that's the same as saying he played shit.
yup, one out of how many? 100? 200?.......
While one man might be missing all of them , I'm not sure that one guy made them all. But I take the analogy back.
This might be true, we like a more honest grafter. Cina is a self regarding ponce. Al explained.
I can at least read. It's pretty simple really, you go back to the start of the debate and see where posters started defending Nani and you'll find stuff like....
So yeah, this is where the "defence of Nani" began and it's understandable. No one is going to try and deny that he wasn't bang on form, but he played well, with some off moments.
surely scholes can take a decent corner, is he just too old to keep running over to take em?
Members of the team huh?
I'll leave you to your Nani bashing Moses.
I'm talking about the obvious frustration on players faces? Like Berbatov and Rooney as was said above? What's so funny. If you haven't seen that, you might not actually watch United.
I like Nani. I just don't chase everyone around berating him every time anyone says anything vaguely negative about him.
wow.
Have you actually seen Nani play for the past 2 years? Really, its a serious question.
I remember Scholes taking a couple actually, not good, he has no curl in his strikes, only ping.
Any football can lump a corner into the box, we obviously have specific instructions to hit that front area and it's a tough one to get right, even when right it needs a run and header like RVP at Southampton to make it not look shit.
Berba is like that with everyone, and Rooney, well feck me I've seen him go mad at every player in our team.
Yes, he is, although yesterday wasn't near as bad as his usual standards, and one could have been a goal for Vidic. I think he has the ability to take a very good corner kick, it's just he very rarely does. I'd prefer us to play it short and work it around then a direct corner, given how little joy we have from them.
As mentioned, it wasn't the vaguely negative comments that started this, it was the comments calling his performance last night a "shambles" etc.
I have no issue and I'm sure others don't either with posters saying, "he played well, but had a few shite moments too".
Three posts ffs. Better change that 75% to 95%.
Lynks post isnt even bad, he didnt say he was shit, just that he was inconsistent as in 2007. So you have one poster.

moses;12272156 Also I have no evaluation of his impact said:
Given you seem to be ITK, pls tell ... which players shared this information to give you the privilege of being ITK.
To be fair moses, we've had this discussion a thousand times, and in all likelyhood it means very little. Giggs walks around with a permanent 'what the feck was that' look on his face, even when he's the one who made the mistake. I think Pogue had a great post somewhere on the mannerisms and reactions of footballers with each other in game, in a response to the same question. I'll find it.
Look Theon, the defence started with those comments, and the debate has gone on from there. I'm just putting you straight, not making shit up. People didn't start madly defending Nani because someone said, he played well but did some crap too.
99%, 95%, 82%, who gives a feck, it's not those percentages being debated, it was the retarded comments making out he was shite last night.
wow.
Have you actually seen Nani play for the past 2 years? Really, its a serious question.
Really!! Is it serious? Oh, if it's so serious I better answer.
It was just turning a point around, read it in the context of the point that was made in the post I replied to, anything can be turned around to suit an argument, ok? Now calm down son.
Go back to the beginning of the debate a few pages back to find people saying he was poor. It is, in fact, how all this started.
One person said he played shit, the rest that he was inconsistent, yet you and others are acting like half the caf has a huge vendetta against him.
Weird that eh?
It's as though Theon has just pulled the actual beginning of this debate out of his arse.
Why the feck would anybody be defending Nani if posters hadn't been overly negative?
I'll leave you to it Moses, you seem to be getting wound up by all of this. Deep breath and exit thread. I think what's happening is that posters have a difference in view on last night, and Nani in general. Just as you have those pointing out his criticisms and making their case, you have those arguing why they either overlook or don't feel the same way. This thread didn't start with yesterday's game, it was 160 pages long before that point, naturally you are going to have a case of a previous point or assertion being referred to after the game. It's the same thing that happens in any 'player' thread.
Can we just all hug?
Wound up? I couldn't care less, I am very interested in the partisanship that has evolved around players.
Have you not seen Rooney glare at Nani? I'm sure I have.
I've seen Rooney glare at pretty much every member of our team the angry fecker he is.
Giggs looks pissed off with everyone, even when he's in 20 yards of space and gives the ball away he'll still scowl at someone as though it was their fault.
