That's a bit harsh. His movement has been outstanding, outstanding. His movement is the reason we've been dominating this game imo.
His end product aint top class, but he's got an assist, and coulda had 2 more. He is young and he is frustrating, but its very harsh to say he's playing retarded.

Agree with this I would say it's been his best game this season. (I know that isn't saying a lot)

You legend, fcuk lads berba is a legend.

ROCKMAN

The performance tonight has been fantastic same as the first half at the week end , Big differance tonight we got that all important 2nd goal.
Like to see Carrick get some game time in the 2nd half .

As for Berb's piece of magic , WOW class :D

Dave!

Nani's still had too many instances of making the wrong decision, or trying to take on too many players. Better than usual (got the assist), but still not good enough.

Berbatov = class act

But sorry, Bentley has GOTS wrapped up

Skud

lampard scored a good goal alright. bentleys was better

Mikeyt086

Bentley's goal reeks of **** goalkeeper for me, anyone else? Had that looped over Almunia it would have been unspeakable, but the goalie should have done better.

game back on, no team changes.

Dave!

There's usually an element of bad keeping if someone scores from 40+ yards... Still gonna be one of the goals of the season.

Anderson's passing is quality today. He's playing great.

ya on second thoughts it was a cross - his foot is bending around the ball slightly

Still think there is something missing. I dunno what it is, can't put my finger on it but there is just something i feel is lacking.

not enough show boating? :pac:

ntlbell

think nani missed finishing school :mad:

ROCKMAN

was waiting for replay to see if he meant it and he did :eek:, Some bit of skill from Tevez with that flick , was brillant

PHB

Coulda been a penalty there for West Ham, woulda been harsh.

dr.bollocko

Who is this Carrick chap coming on? He might be a prospect!:pac:

_blank_

the head on Rooney

Spud83

jesus wayne grow some hair

D.S.

V flat 2nd half overall...maybe to be expected but 1st half tempo never reappeared after break..

dr.bollocko

Shows the confidence that Rooney has right now, trying shots like that.

D.S.

...and Neville is coming on.. really feel sorry for Wes Brown.. after last season how the hell is he third choice RB...

Chong

Its ballax to be fair, I can understand playing Rafa but Brown should be no1.

dr.bollocko

That is the 3rd time i have seen rooney dropping deep and picking up the ball in or near our box and turning it around with a couple of brilliant passes into a great counter attack by hooking up with Duine eile. Just great counter-attacking play.
EDIT: Or was it Evra?

Shouldn't happen IMO. Its what screwed us at the weekend. A poor attitude after an easy first half.

Regarding Brown I think Fergie is gonna change that position nearly every game. Neville will prob play at the weekend against Hull, and Brown will play in the CL against Celtic. Therefore better to give Neville a run out tonight for ten mins if he will playing at the weekend.

Ahaha. Stupidest comment ever goes to bollocko.
So it was Evra?
The pace on Rooney though, running from his own box to link up and challenge in attack. Loving this play.

Jesus 4-4 in the Arsenal-Tottenham game..

I should have watched the second half of that match instead of this bore feast of second half.

Game over. Poor attitude second half, we seen how that hurt us at the weekend don't how it was aloud happen tonight.

PHB

Because we got 2 goals in the first half instead of one. 2 goals up, take it easy, be fresh for Hull. Good job well done.

+1...we're missing a bit of leadership on the pitch for me. Ferdinand as captain should be driving his players on...

Just saw the berb flick, sweet.

Not sure on this. If we had eased up and just struck a few passes and controlled the game that would be one thing. For me, we just got sloppy. Continued to play our attacking game but were missing passes, trying flicks that weren't coming off etc etc.

Don't get me wrong. Great first half, good result. Just think we should be controlling the game a bit better when we get ahead. Maybe it's the inexperience coming through, though I do think Ferdinand should be showing a bit more leadership on the pitch.

Managed to download the sky sports coverage of the champions league final the other day (before that I could only get the ESPN crap) and rewatched it. At one point Rooney wins the ball in our own right corner. Runs about 15 yards and whips a ball right to the opposite corner of the pitch to Ronaldo who crossed for Tevez's divin header which struck Cech and stayed out. He has Scholes' ability to play long balls.

It really shows his workrate IMO. At the same time I can see why people sometimes get annoyed when they see a frontman drop so deep, but it is such an explosive weapon to aid Utd's counter-attacking when he does link up like that.

True. I think it works though when we have Ronaldo playing as he's really an extra striker.. The english hate it though as he doesnt suit their national side then

Watching the highlights of todays game now. Some cheeky chip by Berbs wish he'd run a little more but I suppose then people would be giving out that he does too much Great to see Tevito getting a start. The guy bursts his ass for us. Though I think Fergie has a great skill to see when he needs to talk up someone he's had to leave out.

One last point Fletch has been excellent this season. I know with Scholes Carrick and Harg fit he can't be first choice but great cover.

Killme00

Welcome back Michael Carrick

Hopefully it will be Carrick and Anderson in the middle against Hull

Just saw Berbatov's turn for Ronaldo's goal..... :eek:

Suuuuupoib!
Beautifully done. Soon to be a king among captains
