A very good 2nd half display after a Shocking start.Ronaldinho was just class at times imo.We lost the Best player in the world last summer but now we have the Best player in the world in Rooney.Simply sensational
VDS 8 was excellent and kept United in the tie until Rooney scored
RAFAEL 6 Did Ok.left a lot of space for Ronaldinho but he did better than Evans on the night.what on earth was he doing for 2nd goal?
FERDINAND 7 was a bit shaky in 1st half but he won every aerial battle and defended well in the 2nd half
EVANS 5 Very poor.especially in the 1st half.after SAF yelled at him he did ok.Must definitely improve for the return leg.
EVRA 7 Good as always
PARK 8 Typical of him to play well in big games.helped Rooney through the middle in 2nd.Well helped
CARRICK 5 Was poor on the night.A bit unfortunate about the red card.
SCHOLES 8 Brought us back in the game.He has been doing very well in this 4-5-1 formation lately.Very good
FLETCHER 9 He was everywhere on the pitch.Great ball for Rooney to get his 2nd goal.Exceptional.
NANI 5 I want 2 weeks ago Nani not 2 years ago Nani.he wasted so many crossing opportunities.
ROONEY 8 Simply Sensational.Anything Messi can do,Rooney can.Rooney's 1st goal reminded me of Messi goal v United in final and Rooney took it very very well
Subs-
VALENCIA 7 the turning point of the match was his introduction.Great deep cross for Rooney's 1st goal.
BROWN 6 didn't have much to do.but helped not concede that 3rd goal somewhat.
I was very dissatisfied with 1st half display.but 2nd half display was what i was craving for at the start of the match.
We now have one giant foot in semis.lets hope we don't blow it.
