Man U came from a goal down against Birmingham to rescue a point at a freezing St Andrews. Cameron Jerome scored for the home side after a goalmouth scramble before Scott Dann's own goal put the Reds back on terms. Darren Fletcher was sent off after 84 minutes for a second bookable offence.
Kuszczak (7.5): Three great shot-stopping saves, but at fault for the goal as he again did not come out for the ball!
Rafael (6): Did ok, attacked less due to threat from Birmingham.
Brown (6): Could have played better, slippery ground, Benitez & Jerome was a bit too much for him.
Evans (6.5): Contained threat from Birmingham.
Evra (7): Full of energy both in attack and defence.
Valencia (7): Beat Ridgewell easily on the right but no one finshed off his crosses.
Scholes (7): Good range of passes and did not make defensive error.
Fletcher (6): Should not make unnecessary tackles when you are on a yellow and the referee is not your friend.
Carrick (6.5): Played some good passes into the attacking zone, but Birmingham had too many bodies.
Park (6): Brought energy but penetration not enough.
Rooney (6): Not at his best as a lone attacker.
Subs:
Giggs (5.5) (sub Park 66) Set pieces not good enough.
Diouf (5.5) (sub Scholes 81) Lone striker in his first game is a bit too much to ask of him.
