If at gunpoint I had to pick a Utd player then Wes. Smalling was good too even though he wasn't on all that long. Looked like a player playing a team four levels below him unlike most of the others. Fabio and Rafael were ok whilst on too though the former should have scored.

I wonder if Bebe will start against Marseille, or whether Fergie will save him for Chelsea?

Agree with all that.
Love Wes ...never £#%&!ing moans about his injuries & various setbacks. Captained the side today & scored the goal.
Terrific attitude from him & Sheasey I thought.

Once again the problem lies in midfield - as it has done all season tbh

Best player was Smalling who looked a class above wen he came on....worst players?

Bebe
Obertan
Rooney

Biggee looks like he's going to be a class act

Bebortan got it i think.

bebe is not a footballer. we've done a southampton

edit

just checked, fergie said anderson had a twinge in his hamstring and that's why they took him off. he's becoming a key player for us this season, when he plays we look twice the team.

a bit unfair on some players. the keeper didn't make a save and every attach broke down on obertan or bebe. if we'd had nani and giggs playing, we'd have won 10-0.

I'd be tempted to give motm to gibson for his passing. but he is so £#%&!ing slow it is embarrassing.

smalling it is. although wes was good and the twins ok.

I would have given it to their left back, not mills.

Rafael for me, impressed with mills and their left back though.

Maybe I don't have the capacity to look as deep as you, but I just don't see it. He is a CM who doesn't score or set up goals (he has one less assist than O'Shea), his shooting is woeful, his passing in some games has been dire, and he only seems to be comfortable if he is allowed to break forward in a three.

You will obviously disagree, but I think this is more a case of him looking good if the team is doing well than the team doing well because he is good. There is a huge difference.

Sorry.

fair enough. compare our passing, the way we moved the ball in the first half and the second. anderson was constantly shielding the ball, initiating interchanges with carrick and gibson and feeding runners with well-placed passes for them to run onto. kept us playing at tempo and we dominated the middle of the field while he was on. the difference when he went off was striking imo.

Our best performances this season have come with Anderson orchestrating play. He needs to be the conductor though, he and Carrick have looked our best and most natural pair, Carrick sitting with Anderson setting a tempo and energy into the game.

He has not looked as effective or comfortable in a 3, not as sure of his role or responsibilities, peripheral even.

He made such a good impact when he came back into the team but has been overlooked recently in favour of an out of form Fletcher and Scholes. Played poorly at West Brom in a terrible team performance and struggled to get back in.
