WHAT A RESULT! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!--MAN UNITED VS CHELSEA REVIEW!


Well, quite simply, Manchester United were exhilarating yesterday while Chelsea were lacklustre, to say the least.
What a shock it was to see the team that Fergie put out. No Ferdinand, no Carrick, no Scholes, no Anderson--it was more like 'Game Over' before a ball was kicked. Chelsea meanwhile put out their strongest eleven and it was made even stronger when Anelka joined Drogba in attack in the second half.
Much to the surprise of everyone, Ryan Giggs rolled back the years and had a blinder! It was clear that Fergie had gone for experience by starting both Neville and Giggs. If Giggs can still make the likes of Ballack absent in games then not many would complain if he was offered another contract extension--who cares if he plays 1000 games for United!
PERFORMANCE!
EVDS had his easiest game of the season as Chelsea hardly had any serious attempts at goal.
Garry justified his place in the starting line-up with a comfortable performance and boy does he know how to celebrate!
Vidic is quickly developing into a legend for United. He has yet again come up with a crucial goal for United. His goal at the stroke of half-time took the guts out of Chelsea and changed the team talk for both teams.
Evans has played both league games against Chelsea and he has not shown any signs of immaturity--he's an asset for the future.
Giggs for me was our man of the match. How he pulled it off yesterday is still a mystery in my book. Michael Carrick must have been impressed as well.
Fletcher did well enough to contain the likes of Mikel.
Park was our engine yesterday. No wonder others call him Man of the match!
Ronaldo, for the first time seems to have realised that he does not have to score to get plaudits. He had 2 goals wrongly disallowed but he was a real menace to the Chelsea back line. Nice ball whipped in to Berba for the third goal!
Rooney was as usual remarkable and did well to sneak a leg through for the killer goal.
Berbatov, is always class and so was he yesterday. A goal and an assist!
The win sets us up for the Wigan game in hand on Wednesday so hopefully, we'll get the job done. Our defending in the league has been close to invincible in the past few games so I'd like to think it's up to the forwards to do their part. We play twice before Liverpool play again so it's a good chance to take the lead for the first time this season! Having said all that, one can't help but spare a thought for poor Rafa Benitez!
