I look a bit of a fool now for doubting SAF's lineup of playing all 3 of the old guard because they were 3 of our best players. Vidic was my man of the match though, in the absence of Rio he had to step it up another notch and play his A game because while Evans is a great defender he is no Rio at the moment. But he did a brilliant job today and at times it was as if Rio was playing. Calm performance from the lad. But Vida was great I thought. I'm sure his head is a ball magnet. Rooney was probably one of our worst players, obviously not 100% and his ankle is obviously affecting him. Hopefully he's alright for Spurs. I think we can win the last 2 without him but Spurs it'll be difficult although still possible especially as winning the derby this season has brought an enormous amount of confidence. Shame it didn't come at the start of the month. Maybe we would have won the title by now. The final 3rd lacking ideas again, one of our big problems this season, lacking a goalscoring playmaker, possibly the only area we need to invest in.
May 1st - mark your diary.
Thought Neville and Scholes were quality. Giggs less so, thought he had a poor game actually. Agree Jason, Vidic was quality.
Player ratings
VDS - 7 Had little to do
Neville - 7.5 was petrified before kick ny Bellamy's pace, why I dont know, Gary Nev was superb
Evans - 7 Solid
Vidic - 8 Rock
Evra - 7 was good, felt he lacked quality in final third until the cross for winning goal of course.
Valencia - 7.5 main attacking threat in first half an defended well. Surprised to see subbed.
Gibson - 6.5 Not great but did a lot of donkey work
Scholes - 8.5 MOM, controlled play and winning goal.
Fletcher - 7 Worked tirelessly. Quality of passing was offish at times.
Giggs - 6 Tried too many fancy flicks which didnt work. Not Ryan's best performance.
Rooney - 6 Injured and struggled.
