Worked hard, but in terms of quality, very little, hopefully the goal liberates him though.

delighted for tevez scoring but i am not sure about rooney and tevez as a partnership, neither is playing badly but there was one instance of rooney collecting the ball in his own half and driving into the chelsea half and as he ran wide towards the touchline you could see tevez standing out wide, when rooney whipped the ball into the area there was nobody in there, i'd rather saha and one from rooney or tevez myself.

'Fraid not BB. He's still looking a little off the pace. 'Hounding' is the main thing he's got at the minute (except diving headers ), thought he will come good.

Look at the difference Saha made yet again when he came on, straight away after spending most of the second half playing in front of them we start to stretch them. Game situation dictated that maybe, but in reality it should be Saha and one of Rooney/Tevez, because their are no real signs that Tevez and Rooney will score enough goals.

Tevez needs to be further up the pitch in any event though.
