Anton Ferdinand

[swindonhoop]

He's either gone or Harry will work his magic. Don't assume he's finished just yet. He did have a few good games last season.

Man's pants. Not even Merlin could work magic to improve him. As the Guardian says, most understatedly, "Ferdinand's sluggishness was culpable for both United's equaliser and Darren Fletcher's strike".

Knew we'd concede as soon as that clown was brought on

Personally I knew we'd concede as soon as our fans started cheering everytime we passed during the good spell after we scored. That over-confidence was kiss of death and Utd inevitably equalised within seconds of that.

[DeepcutHoop]

20 out of 22 games when behind at half-time they've won. Doubt it was our fans hubris that riled them up. It's just what United do, and they have the confidence in their quality.

I'd have said they have confidence in their ability. Confidence in their ability to come back after being behind as the figures you quoted suggest.

It still does my head in when they do that as I believe it can unnerve the players, especially our fragile lot. Its just not the thing to do when youre only 1-0 up at Old Trafford with half an hour still to play. You just knew they'd equalise within seconds of that...which is exactly what happened.

Useless effing **** hate him!

Bit harsh man... he's not the best player but don't hate the man

[Tarbie]

Not sure what's gone on with Anton, I thought he was one of our more consistent performers last season but this year he has been absolutely woeful. Devoid of confidence, clumsy, just awful at set pieces and all told an utter liability.

Its probably all due to the lack of training.

MH didnt train our players long enough, barely an hour and half?

ffs, Arry is a hardcore one so its better changes soon.

Anton will be judged once Arry tests him out in the training

sorry mate, you haven't been right about FERDINAND concerning last season, he was at fault too many of our goals conceded, i watched so many replays of those goals it still winds me up thinking about it.
It got slightly better with him when Hill was posted next to him at CB but i was sure we were getting another CB this season to play alongside Hill.

Found it also bitter to see fans on this board stated Ferdinand should be picked for Captain and certainly being picked over Hill in the XI made me wonder if had to go the optician.

He was woeful when he came on and the whole confidence seemed to go when he came on, He did not track back at all when playing at left back and he was out of position for the 3rd goal too. Seemed a very strange substitution at the time can only assume Traore picked up an injury as we were ok when he was on the field.

[TedQpr]

Think I'd rather kaspas Gorks back than Have Anton in the team!!

[qblockoompah]

to think some on here wanted him as captain this season hahaha. hang your heads in shame. the worst defender ive ever seen bar none.

He is proper tommy tit, but bob Malcolm and John Curtis might have something to say about that

Yes, that was my instant reaction too. Gutted that it was three and not just one though.

[Rangers77]

Very rare for a sports journalist to be so condemnatory. Says it all....
