Half time thoughts: It's dangerous to think that we already won, I know, but I really think we did. This West Brom team is total crap and they seriously haven't and even ONE crack at goal yet I don't think. A safe win is in order, and I think we should utilize some of our younger guys as a sub today. Rio/Park playing the best thus far. Park seems like he's playing with great confidence and Rio is just so effective coming up forward today, as well as defending (though that's not doing much today ) Rooney and RVN doing well to hold up the ball, and Fletch and Paul distributing the ball very well. Giggs bit invisible on the left side but he did make that assist to Rio for the second goal. Captain Nev also fantastic coming up the field. Put KRich for Giggsy sometime early in the second half and give Rossi and Saha more time up there as well, is what I say we do.
Rooney looking a bit flustered out there with the prevent. He's made a couple of nice runs though. Majority of runs being done on the right side with Neville making some nice passes out there. He looks dangerous out there. Park is reeking havoc looking like a dart. He's bouncing off the walls tonight.
Damn, I wonder what's wrong cuz PPLive for me for once is working PERFECTLY... do you have the newest version?
Yeah man I do, the one with the Engine and TV seperate. I start up the engine, click the link and I see something pop up called DragonTV...then nothing...nothing happens at all. Does it take long to start up Windows Media player or something? For some reason I'm having problems with Sopcast as well, I dont get it.
Yeah man, it takes a while for the WMP to come up, so wait for few minutes or so until it buffers and comes on. If you can see percentage thing going up when you point the arrow over the PPLive engine, then it's loading so it should work eventually. Good luck!
Gah... Yeah, I hope its the case of just giving other players more time... If Brown gets hurt then that's not good for the team OR him, with Vidic coming very soon...
Fantastic Hope we can see more goals now! Oh, do note that there is about 5 minute delay between actual broacast and PPLive one.
Rooney misses the top right corner by INCHES after a screamer of a shot!! Would have been beautiful if it went in.
R. V. N. GREAT ball from Park to Smith, then GREAT cross by Smith to RVN with a simple header. 3-0. West Brom keeper looked like he didn't even try
Thats why we're bringing in Vidic. Brown and Silvestre's fitness and comedy defending cannot be tolerated anymore http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4557572.stm
This game was simple as we expected it to be, and I'm more pleased than anything at seeing another solid TEAM effort. There wasn't a big standout or anything but everyone contributed and our goals today were all well taken. Ratings: VDS: Solid when he had to be, otherwise not much work. Been hearing that a lot lately. 7. Ferdinand: One candidate for MOTM. He was great at bringing up the ball forward and scored a well taken header off a corner. Solid in defense when he had to be, too (which wasn't much). 8.5. Brown: Didn't have much to do at all, and was solid along with Rio until he left with an (apparently) injury. 7. Neville: Excellent at bringing up the ball forward and was responsible for starting most of our attacks down the right. Great in defense as well in a great performance. 8. O'Shea: No frills in either left back or centerback. Good flawless game from him. 7. Fletcher: Once again, quietly effective. He distributed the ball well and did his part in defense as usual. Some misplaced passes as usual but in the end he continued his great form of late. 7. Scholes: Well taken goal, great distribution of the goal, and well deserved rest afterwards. Superb. 7.5. Park: The other candidate for MOTM. He was everywhere today, and his passing and ball control was solid. He's playing with so much confidence right now and it showed... he even had 2 markers on him at once sometimes, which says all for his effectiveness today. 8.5. Giggs: Quiet for the most part but solid and dependable when he held the ball. Well delivered corner for Rio's goal. 7. Rooney: Great runs and attempts as usual, though he wasn't in his greatest form. Looked a bit frustrated, but he was still threatening. Only an average game for his standards. 7. RVN: A simple header for the 3rd goal and he held up the ball well in our half. Had few decent attempts and showed why he's one of the best target man out there. 7.5. Smith: Took over for Scholesy flawlessly and a great cross delivered for Ruud for the final goal. 7.5. Richardson: Some great running up forward by him today, poor end ball as usual. Was still solid in both directions, though, and I was impressed by what I saw. Great speed. 7.5. Saha: Didn't do much out there, though he had the least time. 6.5. In all, I'm pleased with this superb team performance. It's only West Brom, a team clearly not deserving of being in the Premiership ATM, but it's great to see us win quite dominantly once again.
Thanks, looks like we played well, including the youngsters/backups (KR and AS) seems a day where our star performers (Rooney, RVN, Giggs) were good but the rest of the team was great. Also glad to see Rio continue to score like a good CB should and Paul Scholes Scoring Goals again.
Didn't watch the game, great result, what can I say. Good to see Ferdinand becoming his old self again.
Surprised to score more than 1, with West Brom playng a 9-0-1 formation. Really good chemistry in the mid, but one thing jumped at me... DID FRIGGIN' FLETCHER LOOK PRETTY SMOOTH AS A DEFENSIVE MID?!?!?! I must be going crazy. Last few games, Fletcher looks smooth...
