Keane

In response to Adrian's article, I would disagree with Keane going public and condemning United. It's true when I read his comments about United I was impressed with his straight forward assessment. However, having seen Nistelrooy say that he will come out and lead United's revival, I now think Keane is quite shit.

True he cares for the club, if he really does then why is he leaving. As a captain you can lambast your players but not suggesting to let go some of the players. That is just not good for morale at all. It will only cause unrest amongst the United players. On the other hand, Ruud said, "We shall all stick together."

As important as Keane is, I wouldn't want him in the United squad anymore. If given a choice between Ruud and Keane, who would you pick now to lead United's revival? I think the choice is pretty obvious. Keane is so slow nowadays that United has to change their style of play to suit the old man.

Do you think if Keane had played he would have made a HUGE difference in the Middlesbrough and Lille game? I think not. I would rather have Hienze back than Keane.

On the rest of Adrian's article like Ferguson switching tactics and idiot Smith playing in midfield I strongly agree.

However, I still think Ferguson is the man to lead United. Faith and loyalty. For the success he has brought us, I think we should give Sir Alex all the time he needs. Screw Keane.

Man Utd lacked the spark and drive in their perforamnces against Boro and Lille...
Roy Keane is able to organize the team when he's on the field. He may have lost his speed and reflex as he's getting old, but he is still able to lead by example and 'calm' the younger players.

"It's good to have people who say what they feel because they care about the club, and it is important that we keep doing that," said the Dutch striker. "When criticism is there, as a player, you can either be angry or you can think about it and hold it before yourself to see whether it is true or not. If you can take something good out of it, then it can only help us." - Van Nistelroy backing Keane's actions, as quoted in The Independent

It's not an issue about whether United would have performed well even if Keane had been playing the past few games. The 'rot' set in long before Keane made his comments. And to justify his coments, came the performace at Lille.

Ferguson. Now that's a tougher issue. I'm all for giving him all the time he needs. But if he feels he's not up to it any more, he shouldn't feel like he has to carry on.

At the end of the day, it's whether the Glazers decide to give him time.
