markjazzbassist Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I would be very surprised if they didn't fire him at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think he'll be gone in the summer. I don't see him turning things around there. I don't think he's ever had the players and he certainly hasn't got them now. I think United need to act at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 For the first time i've actually started feeling sorry for him. But then I think how he behaved over Baines and Felli and my sympathy subsides. I actually want him gone now, not for revenge but for his own health I suppose. He will have £££, he has a family, now just go and lighten up - leave the ego alone, enjoy the money and leave football management to those who know what they are doing.

He's a decent manager who can do a job. He's just out of his depth at a club that expects to be winners. He needs a club with less expectation. Said it before Spurs, Villa and Newcastle that's where he should be. At that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) I must remember to admire the technical proficiency of defenders who make big clearances from a bouncing ball...half volley and all that. Im struggling to remember how many of them managed to clear it and score. Must happen all the time and Im blind.... shrugs off a defender, turns, sees, steadies himself and shoots within max 3 seconds and gets it on target from 60yrds.

Piece of piss Same as I seen it, ball sat up lovely for him - all that stored energy just waiting to be hit. The angle of the kick is more natural as the centre of the ball is underneath, hence why a goal keeper can kick it so far out of his hands. Same principles. I really don't class his strike as a half volley - for one it bounced twice, and two a half volley for me is when you striker it the instance it hits the floor making a more piercing trajectory.

Cornish Steve Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 You have to admit, though, Haf, that it was quick thinking and flawless execution. Credit where credit is due. Very few others would have scored in that situation. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've seen it....certainly not a half volley, as you say. My view is it's not that difficult; ball fell perfectly for him...lots of players could've scored it (unlike eg Ross's goal last night); was an easy seven iron into an effectively open goal.

Romey 1878 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Good goal but not even in the same class as Beckham's. It's not even close. For one; Beckham didn't have the goalkeeper acting like a Chuckle brother. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nikica Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) I preferred Rooney's but that's probably my hatred of Beckham talking. Rooney does it all in a few seconds whereas Beckham has time to look up and assess the situation. Rooney's awareness is better. Beckham's does look better though. In saying that, if I had ten goes at it, I don't think I'd score Beckham's effort once, but I'd fancy myself to get a couple of Rooney's in. I don't doubt that Hafnia has scored goals like Rooney's; hitting a ball on the volley as it sits up actually not that difficult a skill, but what makes it more impressive is the turn and the speed he does it at. It's not a half-volley as Hafnia and Mike say - half volleys are hitting the ball just as it bounces on the floor.

MC11 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Personally I'd say it was harder to score for Rooney bouncing ball and all that. Don't forget Sullivan was also well off his line. Neither were flukes and both were good goals. In fact just watched it again. 100% Rooney.

Neither were flukes and both were good goals. In fact just watched it again. 100% Rooney. But if Beckham bounces his ball before the line he doesnt score. Beckham has probably 3 or 4 square feet to put the ball in to score whereas Rooney had well over half the goal given the keepers error.
