Match Reivew (Man U vs Chelsea)

What a match! ...Utd could have won it in the first half. But we probably need another nail-biting finish.

VAN DER SAR (7): He saved the penalty that matters! But we need foster next season.
BROWN (7.5): Good left-footed cross for the goal, and made good defensive plays.
FERDINAND (7.5): Played well again, deserved to captain this great team.
VIDIC (8): Drogba could not beat Vidic while playing football, so he went for the slap instead. Had a great game.
EVRA (7.5): Attacked and defended well again.
HARGREAVES (7): Worked tirelessly and showed some attacking moves.
SCHOLES (6): Decent first half, but second half display was forgetable.
CARRICK (7): Played well in the first half, but could not hold the midfield after Scholes faded.
RONALDO (8): Great goal in the big game, made Essien looked like a fool. Missed the penalty though.
ROONEY (7.5): Made several good passes, faded in 2nd half when Chelsea snatched control of midfield.
TEVEZ (6.5): Missed 2 glorious chances, otherwise good effort.

GIGGS (7): (for Scholes, 87) Broke Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time appearance record for United.
NANI (6.5): (for Rooney, 101) Scored his penalty in the dramatic shoot-out.
ANDERSON (6.5): (for Brown, 120) His only touch of the game was the fiercely-hit penalty.

Match Review (Wigan vs Man U)

We are the champion!!!!!!!!!!


Van der Sar (6.5): Can blame him if the opponent did not create much chance.
Brown (7): Good game, good tackles.
Ferdinand (7.5): Another good performance, but nearly gave away a penalty.
Vidic (8): As good as ever, committed in headers and tackles.
Evra (6.5): Not at his best, but done wel enough.
Ronaldo (7.5): Cool penalty and always fouled by opponents (some bad tackles were not even penalised).
Carrick (6.5): Decent game.
Scholes (6.5): Not much to show for. Just 2 fouls and pundits claimed that he should be sent off!Park (6.5): Run all over the field, but did not create much.
Tevez (6.5): Energetic, but nothing much came out.
Rooney (7.5): Good play, good pass to Giggs.

Hargreaves (6.5): (sub Scholes 67) Shored up the midfield.
Giggs (7.5): (sub Park 68) Good goal!

Match Review (Man U vs West Ham)

Good performance and a rash moment from one of the youngster. 4-1 is a good result, putting pressure on Chelsea. But Nani's red card for a moment of folly will mean that Utd will miss one of its key reserve for the last league game and few more next season. Hope he learnt his lesson, but why Neill's 2-handed slap (albeit a soft one) on Nani's face was missed by the assistant remains a mystery. That was violent conduct as well according to the rule book.

Van der Sar (6.5): Not much to deal with.
Hargreaves (7): Rarely troubled, make some good crosses during the overlapping runs.
Ferdinand (7): Only fault was to let Ashton muscled him out for the goal.
Brown (7): Did decently well. West Ham's poor performance helped.
Evra (7.5): Lots of energy and not troubled defensively.
Nani (4.5): Provoked, but should not have reacted, need to learn and improve.
Carrick (7.5): Another good display and a lucky goal.
Scholes (7): Controlled the midfield with Carrick.
Park (7): Showed great stamina again.
Ronaldo (8): Good runs and a couple of goals. Still looked fresh at end of season.
Tevez (8): Great goal and lots of running.

Giggs (7) (sub Park 61): Played well.
Fletcher (6) (sub Ronaldo 64): Decent game.
O'Shea (5.5) (sub Scholes 72): Closed up the game.

Match Preview (Man U vs West Ham)

Prediction: Utd 3 West Ham 0

VDS will start in goal.
Hargreaves, Brown, Ferdinand and Evra should start, no need to rest players any more.
In midfield, will be Carrick, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Anderson and Scholes.
Tevez will start upfront as it seems that Rooney will probably not be fit.

Out: Saha
Major doubt: Rooney, Vidic

Match Review (Man U vs Barcelona)

No Rooney, No Vidic, never mind. Ronaldo booked for a foul committed against him, 50-50 decisions went the way of Barcelona. Never mind. What we need is a strike by the 'too old, too slow' Scholes. Barcelona looked good, but is never, they passed the ball around and did nothing much with it.
A good win and one more in Moscow against Chelsea and the referee, as usual, and the Cup will be at Utd for a year.

Van der Sar (6): He never did well wearing green, his kicks and passes were poor. At least, he made some decent saves/stops.
Hargreaves (6.5): Good display since he is played out of position. Tend to hold the ball too long.
Brown (8.5): Was he Vidic in disguise? A performance that showed how good he is.
Ferdinand (8.5): Marvelous game, solid in defence.
Evra (7): Exposed at times defensively, but his attacking runs is a threat to opponent.
Park (8): Hard work, was almost everywhere and made good passes.
Carrick (7.5): Not his best game, but anchored the midfield well and made some good passes upfront.
Scholes (7): Magnificent goal, but was just above average throughout the game.
Nani (6.5): Should improve on his decision-makings. Take good corners.
Tevez (8): Park's twin brother, ran and harass the defenders.
Ronaldo (7.5): Good game, ran at defenders and open up space for team-mates.

Giggs (6) (Nani 77): Nothing much to show for.
Fletcher (6) (Scholes 77): Can in to close up the game.
Silvestre (5.5) (Evra 90): no time to perform.
