Slow tempo in the sense of??? I thought during the whole game we were much like playing Mancini's team, it's not about the tempo anymore but opening up opponent's spaces and keep on pressuring. And the penalty is of course very frustrating because of Denilson sloppiness (if you stretch your leg like that the opponent gonna touch it and do a 3.5 acrobatic sommersault and he would still get a penalty). If it's not because of that, I thought our team is still playing ok. And where is Ramsey? Surprises my foot.

Howard Webb + MU tutorial...

1) 1st half : Penalty awarded and sending off player.
2) 2nd half : Try not to provoke summore the opponent and keep at this level.
3) By any chance opponent scored an equaliser, repeat step 1 or time extension till MU score the winner.

Probably calculated Djourou won't be saving our ass for long, so it's a good reinforcement I guess.
