If I hear another commentator claim that the only way to tell the Da Silva twins apart is that one of them wears a ring, I think I'm going to stick a fork in my eye.

Means nothing if he doesn't bother to look where he's crossing into.
Gibson's had a really good half.
Obertan's looked alright in fits and starts. Bebe's still clearly not ready for the first team.
Not alot else to say. We are comfortable and in total control of the game and don't need to be at our best to get a result.

Shouldn't it be into your ear?
Why can't you just say it was a good pass? The weight and direction were fantastic and perfect for Fabio to run onto and shoot first time, it's nowhere near as easy as you are trying to make out even if it is only against Crawley Town. Maybe you'd rather he played just as badly as Carrick and Anderson just so you could have a moan at him.
Obertan is showing no progress. He has pace and obvious talent but no end product. Very frustrating. He should be ripping non league Crawley a new arse-hole. And he needs to bulk as well.
Also does Bebe ever look up before putting in a cross?

No. I made a point on that. Hope he improves and soon...or else
Day V Lately
so he's the "escapegoat" then?
Wes looks like he's playing against toddlers - OG in the 2nd half then
I've had Billy Gunn's theme song stuck in my head after seeing his picture.
He grew in confidence during the game. He needs a run of games just like everyone else but maybe more so him. Crawley aren't mugs and it would help if we dominated the midfield but our attacks are so fragmented. We have to remember how few games hes played in the first team....
There was a good play to free fabio for one run. There was early on where he played a perfect ball across the 6 yard line and he had a decent effort on goal and he demonstated he can beat his man for pace...we know the final balls not there but he's young, and he's barely played. What kind of progress are people expecting? He's a dynamic player and we just have to understand that
Anderson's shielding of the ball is excellent. I would bring on King for Obertan soon and switch Bebe to the left, King right.
So as it stands we're going to burn Obertan and Bebe at the stake after the game right..?
Whats happened to gibbo
Dunno if anyone else has pointed this out, but he's getting ages on the ball. Starting to make me think he should move to Italy, he might be very successful there.
He had one earlier in the season. There was a 12-13 game patch where he started more than half and came on as a sub in the others in October/November.
Yep. I mean its not like we are playing Barcelona here. Gibson should really be doing well in a game like today. No surprise.
Rooney on?
Rooney on for Anderson ?
Anderson is looking very confident and strong on the ball, shielding it well and playing good passes.
Rooney coming on for Anderson.
Don't understand Rooney coming on to be honest. Why risk him getting hurt in a game like this?
Oh. feck sake.
I thought so too, and is rewarded by being hooked off.
Rooney? Why? Give someone like King a chance.
Good match for Rooney to get a few
Rooney on!?
He's using his arse to good effect.
Bebe's blatantly not a winger and Obertan seems to have zero confidence/balls every time he plays.
I don't understand why we haven't just stuck Bebe up top with Hernandez and shoved someone else out on the wing to do the same thing Bebe's been doing anyway.
I really hate this formation. Nobody outside of our defence has a clue what they're supposed to be doing, apart from Hernandez who hasn't got a chance up against three man markers all the time anyway.
I agree with you on this , does not need the games.
Hope he does not get a knock that keeps him out of the CL games
Rooney then. Ok. We need someone to bring the cutting edge to our attack and Wayne needs more goals. Hopefully he will give Hernandez the service he needs.
Why are we risking Rooney?
Pogba for Anderson would have been better.
Yeah it's a shame really, I was just about to edit my post and say I'm looking forward to his second half, but then I saw he's been taken off.,,
He wants him to continue scoring. Thats why he is coming on, although I would prefer to see one of the young lads
He did pick up a knock in the first half. Maybe as a precaution.
Hopefully will see a couple of the youngsters come on
manager bemoaning refs decisions and implying favouritism, what a plankRooney need goals to bring up his confidence.....
Crawley Town boss being such a cnut. Blaming the ref.
Definitely would have gone with Pogba here...Bit of a pointless risk for Rooney and we don't look troubled by Crawley, would have been nice to see as much as possible from the young ones.
