Scott-RFC 308 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I watched the game but watching the highlights Edu looks our best player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycassidy1802 37 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hate to be negative but he has a poor first touch and takes too long to get a pass away, sometimes even gets us caught out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxibear87 129 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Seems to panic when in possesion, same could be said about all our CMs tonight though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyboy2009 11 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Edu and mcculloch were both awful. They really don't offer the defence much protection at all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just finished watching the game, I thought Edu was solid- 6/7 out of 10. Some of the criticism is way over the top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_watp 1,503 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 stop moanin ffs, edu was brilliant in CM. bring on valencia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan 25 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Better than Davis, McCulloch and Whittaker last night in my opinion. Did well driving forward when he had the chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Edu and mcculloch were both awful. They really don't offer the defence much protection at all!Serious? We have played 180 minutes in the Champions League so far this Season and we have restricted both teams to long range efforts.McGregor hasn't had a save to make.

dukestreetsoup 69 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I love the guy but ive been getting increasingly anxious when he is on the ball over the past few games.he was the only player I had any real worries about last night about giving the ball away in a dangerous position.needs to be more aware of his surroundings, and take less time to make decisions.

martyboy2009 11 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I don't think the restriction of other teams chances is down to lee or edu though, our actual last line of defence have been fantastic! Last night there was still times were they were able to pass thru edu and mcculloch no bother. The REAL test will be a full strength man u and Valencia! A great and extremely welcome result!

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Edu was very good tonight. It doesn't seem that two years ago there were a few doubts about him, then we played Milan and he had a very good game and got games after that. That pass for Miller could have led to a goal, and before that nearly scores- good night's work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I don't think we actually have a natural holding midfielder in either McCulloch or Edu, both look to be a bit more comfortable going forward.But they'll do for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangeclement 584 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thought big mo was sluggish from the start( first 10 mins) BUT again he shone through to put in a very decent outing once more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westendblue 3 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 i think edu made a few mistakes and at times looked half a yard slow, but he wasn't alone in that! the decision making of our midfield is poor (when we have the ball) at times, i think they might just be surprised to have the ba' to be honest, but the more we win and control games they better they'll get. it might just be down to having played so defensively for 3 seasons and them being scared to commit going forward in case they get robbed and we concede because of it?

Hoody 103 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Edu always looks like he's gonna lose the ball but 90% of the time he gets the pass off. I really like him and I think he offers something to the team but he needs to up his game in terms of his control and passing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,735 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I thought he was pretty decent last night, I'd agree with the 7/10 TG said earlier in the thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,624 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 A few times Edu showed why he is better than mcculloch (not in this match but just as a player overall) and that was when he picked up the ball, ran with it and played some good forward passes, he also played some neat triangles with players... Edu did a job in there, musnt be easy putting in a good shift then getting droppedI didnt think McCulloch and Edu were competing against each other, Edu a long way to go to prove to be a regular starter like McCulloch.

macleod1873 0 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I wouldn't say he was as bad as some posters suggested. Had a decent game, few slack passes, nothing shocking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Edu did all the donkey work in the middle of the park. If he didn't play, could of well got completely over runned in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
