Nani: Still one of the best wingers?

31 - Since August 2009, Nani has made more assists than any other Premier League player. Consistent.

Interesting, even though 19 of them were in one season.

Di Maria was hilariously poor that game, yet people were giving him MoTM! I couldn't believe it.

Nani does frustrate because, people know what he can do and 4/5 times he doesn't do it and then on the 5th occasion he will have a game like the one v Reading.

that's bollax.
Di Maria has been poor all season, he was madrids most threatening player against us, he did Exaxtly what nani does, shoot from range, crosses that go to defenders... Same as every winger in the world.but because its nani he gets slated to absolute sh it. Cr ap 'fans'

a lot of the time with Nani its a simple pass or cross that he gets wrong or shooting from a imposible angle, this after beating around seven oponents.

Top player on his day.

Don't get me wrong almost every winger is inconsistent, I'm just saying that because we know Nani is so good on his day that it frustrates the fans when he plays crap.

Also I don't agree with what you said about Di Maria, he wasted the ball in good positions so many times, Ozil was clearly frustrated at one point.

So why when its ronaldo, bale, Di maria, robben, ribery they they escape criticism?

Is it because our fans are sh it?

Di maria been crap all season, he played his best against us, and it was no better than what nani can do yet some la liga fan boys think Di maria is gods gift and the best winger to grace our planet with his rat face

I bet Nani won't start on the right tommorow

Nani is class but he needs an arm around his shoulder and the security of first team football to perform

When he's put under pressure to perform he tends to struggle.

For Portugal hes an automatic starter and he's class for them. He's also given a lot more freedom to roam and dribble with the ball

Here, the fans get on his back when he dwells on the ball too long (audible groans from the crowd) and Fergie seems to have soemthing against him

I'll say what I've always said about Nani and what I still believe is true.

When fully fit, given a run of games and played on the right he is a brilliant player who will more than likely assist every game. However for me this has only really happened in the middle part of the 10/11 season.

The problem is from what the fans can see and read he has had a few injuries, is constantly being dropped and also being forced to the left to accommodate others. There may be other reason to all this that none of us fans are aware of but it is very frustrating for the fans.

If Ferguson doesn't start him tomorrow then I will be very confused after what he said of Nani after the Reading game. Our wingers at the moment are all playing pretty poor, Nani seems fit and ready, give him a run of games on the right.

i don't understand the nani frustrates thing, pure rubbish in my opinion. What winger performs consistently in every game of their career? Giggs has had some shockers before, so has ronaldo and Beckham, they also had average games and then amazing games. That's what being a winger is about, you can't always beat 2-3 men and stick in a inch perfect cross, if that was the case then we would be perfect and perfects humans are not.
