FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifying.

[Marc Overmars]

i think it was in 2010 or 2011 when fergie dropped him against Real Madrid for Welbeck that he began to decline.

He's got so many miles on the clock, having played 40-50 games for 13 seasons straight. His body just isn't sharp enough anymore, he might be able to do a job now and then but his days of being a consistent, reliable performer are over. The media really need to stop fussing over him and accept he isn't the player they want him to be anymore, midfielder or striker it doesn't bloody matter.
