I don't get why so many people thought Kagawa was so bad last night. I think he did good.

For those who have watched enough of him at Dortmund, was he always this physically weak ?

Kagawa looks like he has a decent touch and can read the game well but TBH I have no idea what he has done at Utd to justify a start against Madrid on Wednesday. Especially given the options we have in his position. I think his performance basically epitomised his time with us so far.
Well who else would we play on the left. Frankly our wide players this year - Giggs in recent games aside - have been dreadful. In fact this is the worst year I can remember for our wingers for a long time.

SAF: "In Germany you can't foul. The PL is completely different as there's physical contact in our game. Next year, Kagawa will be better."
It's also worth noting that he praised Kagawa on his performance against Real, and even pointed out that the Kagawa critics are unfair.
He never really criticizes our players in public, except when he wants to send a message tbf.
People are retarded and expect too much, that's why...
For being a CL knockout stage fixture away against Real, we did pretty awesome last night. Kagawa should not be excluded from this awesomeness, considering he had a pretty good first half.
I think we did better than Dortmund did in Madrid, and people praised them and their entire team. I don't see why it should be different when it comes to us.
True, but this sort of praise is rare enough. Not only did he praise Kagawa, who even I will admit hasn't been amongst our 5 best players this season, but he also called the Kagawa criticism unfair. I think this is a brilliant "in your face" to all Kagawa critics. No message is stronger than when it comes from the Master himself.
Madrid were the better team against Dortmund at the Bernabaeu. They had probably more clear chances than they did against us too.
Kagawa's natural role is that behind the striker. He's not a CM and he's not a winger. He also takes his time to settle down. He did the same with Dortmund.

Kagawa is an exceptional footballer. His technique is flawless when he gets going. He is unselfish and has the vision required to suxeedat the highest level.
He can't be judged on his brief time at United..how could he? He's a #10 who is being asked to play anywhere but ffs. He is not a physically impressive specimen and as SAF has stated, he needs time to adapt to thr Englisg game. The language, the culture and the lifestyle are all massive.
Being realistic, why do we think he was bought? World football knows that he is a #10 for all but his time accomodating Honda in the international setup. Fergie is obviously aware of such. I've said it nunerous times since his signature...I would love to see the following:
Rooney Rvp
Kagawa
Carrick Cleverley
Jones
God knows our wingers aren't doing anything to inspire a different though. I know we'd lack width but that would be an exceptional line-up. I also see the lack of width as managable. If Rafael or Evra bomb forward, Jones is there to hold the fort if needs be.
Thats right there is something I would go weak at the knee for right now![]()
Do people think SAF will keep the faith and start Kagawa against Madrid at home? I hope he does.
nah...I wouldn't say so.
I mean we weren't terrible or anything, but we were the 2nd best team, while in all honesty Dortmund outplayed and outclassed Madrid on both occasions (more notable the home-game, but still).
Hope not. I want Rooney behind RVP and two of Welbeck/Nani/Valencia wide.Do people think SAF will keep the faith and start Kagawa against Madrid at home? I hope he does.

Thats fair. First half hour or so he was a big threat.He never really criticizes our players in public, except when he wants to send a message tbf. Full quotes -
"In the first half an hour [in midweek] he was terrific as he kept making these great runs through them, which we thought was going to be one of our biggest assets in the game," Sir Alex explained.
"He was just unlucky that he had a couple of heavy touches on the ball when he made runs past Robin van Persie. He kept opening them up but people don't see that, which is a wee bit unfair, as he did really well for us in the first half."
Sir Alex is convinced the 23-year-old will only begin to show his true colours after having a full season to settle at Old Trafford.
"He's come from an environment that is completely different," he stated. "I think the difference between German football and English football has been shown. In Germany you can't foul. It's foul after foul.
"The Premier League is completely different as there's physical contact in our game and it's different to Germany but, next year, he'll be better."

Qualified praise. Most of it.
Swap Carrick and Jones and replace Jones for Anderson.
