People like Yuvraj and Ronaldo are double edged sword

Manchester United have just lost to Manchester City by Two goals to One. The occasion was anniversary of Munich disaster and tributes to those who lost their lives. In the current context Manchester United are trailing Arsenel in the 2008 league title race by two points. So on all accounts this was a must win game. But there was one problem, United were missing the best team player WAYNE ROONEY due to suspension for his ten yellow cards through out the season till now. United never looked like scoring against two beast of the defenders in Micah Richards and Richard Dunne. There is no chemistry between Tevez and Ronaldo the two players who were in most advance roles. Chemistry developes between those who like each other , I doubt Tevez and Ronaldo have same bond as Tevez and Rooney. That was not helped when Ronaldo snatched the ball from Tevez in a game where Tevez had already scored two and would have got the hattrick had ronaldo allowed him to take the penality. In all a below average day for Ronaldo. Sometimes i feel he has been hyped more than he deserves. But I guess Sir Alex is showing the same leniency towards ronaldo that Sir Matt Busby showed towards George Best. I fear Manchester United may not have to pay for this. Manchester United have lost all games this season when Rooney has been missing. Wes Brown and Jhon O Shea as fullbacks can defend but they can not do anything going forward. Their crossing ability is a shame on the team of the calibre of United. Manchester United is badly missing a Torres like striker who can play upfront and is qucik. Giggs is too old and fllashy at times. Rio Ferdinand was in his worst passing form today. Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves can never score from midfield. I doubt they dream themselves scoring forget about realy scoring in a match. Carrick's shooting is horrible.

India won the one dayer against Australia. Ishant Sharma today again showed what a bowler he is. I can say he is worth watching. I am delighted that we can give some of the things back to ausssy batsmen what indian batsmen have been receiving. I have become fan of this guy. Sreeshanth and Pathan also supported well. Yuvraj is a big match winner but like ronaldo he also plays for himself instead of team and more often than not he has started disappointing. He has yet to score something worthwhile in australia in this tour. Thank GOD india was having its ROONEY in Mahendra Singh Dhoni , and thats why India won.

Why doesn't any of manchester united midfielders try shooting from the distance? Are they not capable enough or shooting towards goal is copyright of rooney,tevez and ronaldo?
