Everton Vs ManUtd Feb 20 2010

Be sure what you wish for, it may come back and haunt you! 


Thats what happened this weekend at everton. Last week, i had wished everton to beat chelsea and help us in the title race, but what i forgot was that we have to goto everton too. 


Final score: 3-1


What a disappointing performance! Absolutely ridiculous! The first half was lively, with nice quick plays and we got the lead through berba, but they got level through a wonderful strike i must admit. But, the second half was lackluster. Why don't valencia play the full 90 minutes with the same vigor and enthusiasm? He was absolute waste in second half and was not getting in the play to feed berba or rooney. Then the second everton goal came in 76th minute i guess. Again valencia the culprit. He was sleeping without marking the run of pienaar and a cross across the goal was met by Dosling. 


United made substitution with berba being substituted by obertan. For gods sake why go to 4-5-1 when you are chasing the game and with valencia having a horrible game. WE NEED A STRIKER to help rooney in his attempt to get us the title. No, Owen is not the one! Berba is cool but with his niggling injury problems he cant play whole 90 minutes and wont start many matches. Rooney can play upfront on his own if he gets good service from others, but that doesn't happen in a consistent manner. One day you play the best game of your life, next week you lose miserably. Same players, same formation but different results. 


The defense was so weak today. They were running through the center of our defense dribbling. I felt as if we are playing a man short in midfield. I dont understand what carrick was doing the whole game. Apart from a shot on goal and a corner i never saw him in the game. We need rio and vidic very badly in defense if we have to go on a continuous run of wins and with any hope of winning the title.


I sometimes feel Rooney is the only one in the team who plays to win. Ok even fletcher too. But others are just so impassionate about united and the desire to win. United means winning. If you dont play to win, then better dont play for united. Thats my call for the united players who played today. Playing well and losing is better than playing to lose.
