salam and good day.
As fate would have decide it in any other day, Arsenal can never win at Old Trafford. And that day falls upon a fine evening in Manchester, England on the 29th of August 2009. Ofcourse it's already the weehours of 31st August 2009 (Merdeka!) in home soil when they play at Old Trafford, but the eyes would never say no to football. And whats that Rooney? You should have taken the penalty at the Burnley game? Ahh..I couldnt agree more Rooney sir.
Anyways, the game was explosive right from the start. The ball was pretty much Man U to gave away and they did make some mistakes that sends them regretting ever doing it in the first place. Here's how I rate the players on tonights match (out of 10);
Ben Foster. 7.5 - Could have done better to stop Arshavin's goal. But, redeemed himself by foot-saving Van Persie's on target shot.
Patrice Evra. 7.5 - Small but deadly. Hold on to Eboue well in the 1st half but starts losing him in the 2nd due to excessive offensive runs.Great pace by the way. Sometimes work well with Nani on short and through passes. Had a shot on goal. But well beaten by height with Nicklas Bentdner in the 2nd half. Yellow card for causing no harm at all with 'dramatic' Eboue.
John O'shea. 5.0 - Not having the best of his games tonight thou.Too many times he let Arshavin let pass thru him and Arshavin sure did cause a hole in United's defence. Yellow card for obstructing someone in the midline.
Wes Brown. 6.0 - Works well with Vidic although did some very costly mistakes. Almost handed Van Persie and Eduardo with chances to score with the unnecessary back-passes to Foster. Good in the air thou. Yellow card for something. I dunno. Hee~
Nemanja Vidic. 7.0 - Solid as rock.Van Persie was put under his shadow at all times. Create an understanding with Brown and Foster. 2 thumbs up you lucky Serbian you!
Nani. 7.0 - Efficient at times when there were chances. Created a lot of chances for United's attack. Dribbles well and the through pass to Berbatov in the ending minute was a beauty. Nani the new Ronaldo? Maybe.
Darren Fletcher. 8.0 - Man of the Match for me. Work hard. Was in all places at all times. United may end their search for a midfield maestro as they have one in the form of a Scottish that is soo thin but holds the ball as if his superman.
Ryan Giggs. 6.0 - He was overall poor today. Probably the age is taking its toll on him. Loses the ball too easily. Passing are average and sometimes doesnt even reached the desired teammate. This should be his last season of football I think. Go back to Wales and feed the dragons ea pakcik.
Antonio Valencia. 6.5 - Average. He could have done a lot more to saviour his transfer fee of 15 mil pound and satisfy the public that he is the ideal replacement of Ronaldo on the right wing. Didn't perform today,but still waiting for some dramatic improvement in the next game.
Michael Carrick. 6.0 - Why the hell is he even on the field today if my grandma can play better than him.Lets just face it. Defensive Midfielder isn't a position that suits Carrick. He can't play "Xabi Alonso" ball in United.
Wayne Rooney. 7.5 - Scored a penalty. A constant menace to both Vermalean and Gallas. Continued his fine form for United. Keep it up boy!
SUB:
Park Ji-Sung. 6.5 - This hardworking Korean didn't influenced the game as he wished he had. Was always outrun by Clichy and clearly can never beat an ARSE player throught strength. Wished he had featured earlier in the game.Go to the gym some more and buff up that body!
Berbatov. 5.5 - As to why he was brought in, in the first place was a complete mystery to me. He didn't score when Nani gave him the most beautiful thru pass ever. Didnt even test Almunia at all. A Bad Day for the Bulgarian.
Cant wait for next week's game. Glory2 Man United.
