Game on!
We'll see about that.
Rooney was tremendous and Oliver played well too
I'm not convinced about the balance of your side this season thus far.
Ralph, I expected better of you than a snide comment about the referee.
Spot on about Rooney obviously, but some clarification about your view on the balance of the side might be interesting.
Michael Oliver reffed the match like an out and out homer in my and many other's opinion failing to book Evra and Rooney for similar offences which got Sagna and Flamini booked for us before finally booking Rooney late on. The meagre three minutes of injury time seemed odd too even to Gary Neville.
The reason I'm suggesting that the balance of your side doesn't seem right to me is illustrated to some extent by our having 61% of possession at OT, a previously pretty much unheard of amount, and we had a bit of an off-day too. I'm sure if and when Moyes does get the balance right he won't be chopping and changing midfield as he currently seems to be.
I can't remember the last time we had that many misplaced passes as in the first half, some of which was obviously due to your pressing, but still very poor by the standards we have set ourselves this season.
Well done on the win, it makes the league more interesting.
I'm still satisfied with our haul from the last three games but a point yesterday would have been all the sweeter.
