Van Der Sar - 7 - Nothing too much to do. Made a bit of a howler in the first half
and lucky to get away with it. Some good moments though, and 2 vital saves for
us too.
Rafael - 7 - Started like a train! Incredible display in the first half. Faded in the
second and was caught at times by Elano, but I don't think you'll see Robinho
marshalled so well by anyone else this season like he was done by Rafael. Star in
the making this chap.
Ferdinand - 8 - Rock Solid! Strong and never looked in any trouble. Super captain
and leads by example. Long may his form continue.
Vidic - 8 - Just like Rio, only difference is he's not the captain. The pair were
unbeatable in the back today.
Evra - 9 - Wow, wow, wow. He got forward so well today. He could out jump
a...ehh......he can jump really high! Lovely link-up with Rooney/Ronaldo and has a
sweet first touch. Best left back in the world at the moment, and I don't think I'm
over exaggerating by saying that.
Ronaldo - 5 - Oi, just when I thought I'd be coming on here in a good light about
him for not diving, not moaning, linking up well etc... he manages to get himself
sent off disgracefully. No excuses from him. Its another no show in a big game
I'm afraid.
Carrick - 9 - Brilliant! Such good feet, can pick a pass, intercept, run with it, and
play for the team too. I said Roo for my MOTM, but wish I went for Carrick now.
He's been our most impressive midfielder this season and he's in the form of his
life.
Fletcher - 8 - Very good. Has a knack of just turning out of the trouble and playing
the simple pass. Nothing flashy, just hard work and graft. Excellent display today,
making it hard for Anderson to get in now, and Scholsey will have a huge job
getting back into the team if Fletcher keeps it up
Park - 7 - Never stops working. Gets up and down well, good crosser and superb
tackler. Another good put in from the South Korean!
Rooney - 9 - That's why Rooney's world class IMO. What a performance. Ran and
ran and never gave it up. Could have scored just before his goal, but took his
goal well, managing to stay onside. Really controlled the United attacks, being
involved in 99% of our offensive moments. Also denied a wonder goal by a
fe***** keeper! I was jumping up and down thing it was on its way in! He also
made several important defensive clearances in the second half relieving the
pressure from the defence. Boy I love the way he celebrates goals!!!
Berbatov - 8 - We missed him when he was out. Offering so much more then
Tevez of late, and no different today. Touches are superb and passing was
superb. Very good display by him today, and hopefully he can get a few more
goals to his name now.
