Wow, what a game! If the first half was the two teams cancelling each other out, the second half was brilliant football. We were adequate in the first. The most important thing early on was solidity at the back, and we achieved that. I loved how Sir Alex threw caution to the wind after they scored.
De Gea was awesome. That ended all doubts about him, and I hope his critics now see why we paid so much money for him. That save in stoppage time was brilliant.
The defence was really good, especially Smalling who had Downing in his pocket all afternoon. Evra was really good. I think he's slowly getting back to the level we saw from him a few years ago. I love the guy. Dealt with that twat Suarez properly.
The midfield was decent. I wasn't expecting creativity from them. Did their jobs very well, especially Park, Fletcher and Young. Once Nani came on, we had more width on the wings, more creativity.
Welbeck I thought had a quiet game. His control seemed off at times, but maybe it's just me.
Their goal was just shocking defending. It was a poor piece of defending from Rio to begin with, but you never expect the guy in the wall to pull away. Especially from an experienced player like Ryan Giggs.
A decent result. We now have a huge week ahead of us, with a must win game in Galati and a derby against City, who I suspect will be on top of the league by then. With both teams needing to win their mid-week games, it makes for a fascinating match.
