neither team got a shot on target...poor match so far...even poorer considering our midfield is clueless about what they are doing

its time to wake up lads...

VDS: made a couple decisive interception, but he also missed a cross, luckily Soldado didn't scored

Rafael: improved play, especially defensively, but physical disadvantage saw him struggle on several occation

Ferdinand: showed the team what it had missed, organized the back well

Vidic: solid as usual

Evra: still not that efficient on the attack, and was having trouble dealing with Valencia's right wing

Carrick: missed pass here and there, but managed to play full match is a good sign

Fletcher: shaky start, but improved in the second half

Park: still not in form, heavy first touches, and poor on the decision to distribute the ball

Nani: almost invisible in the first half, however managed to make several good runs in the second half and started the winning goal's momentum

Anderson: a little disconnected from the team resulted in inaccurate passing, more games will help

Berbatov: really need a striker partner, can't do much up front alone (although the dribble that lead to 1 on 1 was good)

sub:
Chicharito: scored the winning goal, and hit the post once, nuff said

Macheda: just barely came on the pitch, and bam another golden touch from him

O'Shea: tool for delaying time

we played at away, and against an in-form-top-of-the-table Valencia, so i guess SAF went a defensive route, and sub on both fast-paced Chicharito and Macheda when opponent got tired at the second half of second half

for Anderson, well he hasn't played with the first team guy quite often yet, hence those miss passes, however his ability to run and his skills will be valuable once he gel with the team, more matches will definitely help that, same case as Carrick

and they will play physical game against us, non stop closing down, grind out the midfield, our CM better be prepared for this...they wasn't that steady against Valencia who did the same thing minus the physical part (in fact they closed us down all around the field)

will Rio-Vidic partnership continue in tomorrow's match? or will Evans replace one of them? I prefer Rio-Evans than Vidic-Evans if he made the first 11...

probably due to the squad rotation?

with his barking, no one falls asleep
Rio is the portable hair dryer on field lol

hopefully Vidic learn from Rio and can sort of replace him when Rio is not available for selection...

everyone was speculating Rooney is gonna return, but instead its Scholes

Astro sapu all the contracts for BPL, champions league matches, that's why

Carrick didn't even on the bench today, thought he recovered d

hope Vidic can tapau Bent tonight

lmao burst pipe....

when they come out from the players tunnel we will know

maybe United's aura too "geng", pipe cannot handle the pressure

SAF: apasal with your changing room can bocor one?

Bruce: *shakehead*

their 4-5-1 meat grinder is working so far...

there's no light for us at the Stadium of Light....
but their closing down and physical play really affect our tempo so far, and we are not that on form atm:(

they are on form, we're off form, they have home advantage, we're haunted by poor away form

feel like deja vu from last match, only this time opponent is scarrier

hopefully SAF can do something to improve the play...

Run Bebe run!! rip their defense line with your speed

another draw....well tbh this match we're very very lucky to walk away with 1 point....

the race is not over yet folks

VDS -- great performance, that 1 on 1 save was purely 20+ years of experience talking

Rafael -- still good, but offensive was off

Vidic -- rock at the back

Rio -- second consecutive clean sheet after he's back, and 3 matches he played so far, United conceded 0 goals

O'Shea -- not so stable, performance was so so

Fletcher -- help up the defense, but maybe tired after consecutive matches

Scholes -- just recovered from injury, not that on form and was under pressure whole game

Anderson -- still finding his "linkage" withe the team, but show promising qualities

Nani -- should cut the "acting" part, and don't regress into old "selfish" style please

Macheda -- like all youngsters, inconsistency still a bug for him, but crappy play from midfield also limited his performance to some extend

Owen -- he's the opportunistic type of striker, no chance created, no goal, nuff said

sub:

Berba -- why he didn't start puzzled me (maybe SAF has his reason), but our attack only kick-start after he was on the field

Chicharito -- start to blend into the team, 1-2 combo with Berba was lovely, too bad didn't score

Bebe -- quiet night for him

Sunderland trounced us in every aspect, 1 point is good enough, and hopefully the international break will serve as a good rest and window for the coach, and players to sort out any difficulties they face, and i definitely want to see Anderson play more
