Hi eds do u think we are watching the end of rio

{Ed004's Note - Yes and Vidic}

Ed004 - Agreed, but add Cleverley, Young, Valencia, RvP, Wellbeck, Kagawa, Smalling, Evra, Carrick and Fellaini as well.

And hopefully Cleverley he was substandard!

Also a few others. Terrible performance, no pace and can't keep the ball.

We are a mile behind and let the surgery commence

Rio was finished a while ago. Once he lost his pace to deal with mistakes he was done.

So he wasn't the most consistent defender last year? short memory there

Yes very short memories indeed melwing well said, rio had a good season last year, he isn't being used correctly in my opinion by moyes, moyes played him week in week out early on in the season and then kept him out for a long spell, this isn't the way to use him in my opinion, he needs to be rested at the right times, all though his legs may have gone his reading of the game is second to none as proved last year, his distribution of the ball is really poor this year though for some reason, he's taking far too much time on the ball ( maybe a lack of movement in front of him and midifielders such as cleverly hiding and not showing for it ), looks a man who has totally lost confindence at the minute like a lot of them!

I don't know about the end of rio more like the end of half the team, surely it's got to be whatever system they are supposed to be playing you feel for moyes but that's where the buck ends I just think his days are numbered , they say the difference between 4th and 5 th place is 50 million next season. i'm not sure a new team put together will have any immediate impact we may be a mid table team for a while every club is improving.

We don't have short memories we just see beyond the blinkers

Apparently Seamus Coleman has said that a deal is in place to come to old Trafford, plus any of the eds do u think we will get kroos?

Personally don't think that Coleman is any better than Rafa - he just needs some confidence back. Kroos will sign a new deal in my opinion, if he doesn't then we have a real chance but the one we will go for and get is Gundogan in my opinion.

If you don't think coleman is an improvment on rafa then you have nt been watchin much footie this season.hes been evertons best player this season. scoring 5 prem goals from full back. rafa has nt scored that in his career. he's also twice the defender. sign him up

Who has he said this to, your dog? There is no way a player would say a thing like that at this point of the season while under contract at another club. Please think before you post in the future.

Coleman is better than Rafael now AND has more potential.

Coleman has been even better than Zabaleta this season, he's outstanding. Not only is he an improvement and Rafael, he plays the way Moyes wants his fullbacks to play.
