MANCHESTER UNITED

Edwin Van der Sar: 6.5 - Weak kicking put his team under pressure at times but couldn’t do much with either goal.

Wes Brown: 5 - Nervy back pass to Van der Sar almost gifted Chelsea an early opener. Then caught out of position for the first goal. Had some good moments against Drogba, but another slippery display in defence.

Rio Ferdinand: 6.5 – Had lost his temper by the end of the match as his frustration threatening to completely boil over. Did not make too many mistakes, but conduct unbecoming of someone dreaming to captain England.

Nemanja Vidic: - 6 - Not a good week for the big man. Rushed to hospital before the Barcelona game and lasted only ten minutes here after an accidental clash with Drogba saw him stretchered off with a head injury.

Mikael Silvestre: 7 - Surprise inclusion ahead of one of United’s best players this season, Patrice Evra, and didn’t offer the same attacking threat. However, worked hard throughout and did not make any real mistakes.

Darren Fletcher: 5 - Grafted hard and made some vital interceptions, lost Ballack for the goal though. His display was symptomatic of the way the entire United midfield got blanked out of the game.

Michael Carrick: 5 - Tried to pick passes through to his front men but didn’t get involved enough. Gave away the decisive penalty when he could have easily got his hands out of the way.

Anderson: 4.5 - First half completely passed him by as Chelsea dominated midfield. Was looking slightly livelier in the second half before being replaced by John O’Shea.

Nani: 5 - Shockingly wasteful in possession and couldn’t get the better of Ashley Cole once.

Ryan Giggs: 4 - Hauled off at half time last weekend against Blackburn and not much better here. His days in the first team are surely numbered. The only memorable contribution was when he decided who out of Ronaldo and Hargreaves would take a free-kick.

Wayne Rooney: 7 - Not his best game, but then the manner in which he stole the goal off Carvalho tells you just how intensely he keeps working even when things are going against his team. Hobbled off after an hour.

Substitutes:

Owen Hargreaves: 6.5 – Replaced Vidic after ten minutes and was solid at right back. Was troubled when Cole burst forward to join Kalou.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 5.5 - Replaced a hobbling Wayne Rooney, had a chance to equalise but shot cleared off line by Ashley Cole. Did little else

John O’Shea: 6.5 - Replaced Anderson and helped to shore up the midfield somewhat.

Giggsy je napisal:P.S. PA tele komentatorji na Šport klubu mi grejo počas že fino na živce, prej Obrez ves ča povdarja da United še ni imel penala, sedaj drugi model ves čas v Barcinem golu vidi Valdeza čeprav je igral rezervni golman (pa ne da sta si približno podobna)

markm je napisal:Evo zle gledam posnetk tekme,Carrick niti bliz žoge ni biv pri 11m kva šele da bi jo z roko dotaknu.Tok da se ve.

Fluid je napisal:Ne ne, FA bo razveljavila včerajšno tekmo zaradi provokacij s strani oskrbovalcev trave.

Veliko virov poroča o tem, da naj bi se incident z oskrbovalci zgodil po tekmi. Res mi ni jasno, kaj bi naši igralci delali po tekmi na zelenici s trening dresi. Pomoje je bilo kar pred tekmo.

Sej Rio se je pa opravičil in poslal šopek rož. Ni blo ravno namerno, tako da ni neke bojazni.
