Manchester United 2 Arsenal 1

One goal in each half from RVP and Evra secured a comfortable 3pts. Top of the table for the next two hours at least!

1. Missed the opening 15mins of the game. But if it was like the other 75, then I didn't miss much. Overall it wasn't a poor game nor was it very exciting. It might have been because we were playing Arsenal so we weren't so confident going forward.

2. Our defenders had a very good game today. Ferdinand and Evans were decent, Rafael was lively as usual and Evra had one of his better games, with a goal to top it off.

3. It's once again our midfield that had problems. I can't really complain about the Carrick and Cleverly midfield pairing because they largely kept the Arsenal midfield in check. But they weren't brilliant, with alot of misplaced passes and Cleverly slowly disappeared from the game as it wore on, rightly replaced by Ando afterthat.

4. The wingers weren't much better. Ashley Young is crap. I've said this many times before but he really possesses more clumsy feet than skill. Valencia had an off-day even though it couldn't have been worse than Young, so I'm perplexed at the decision to substitute Tony V with Nani. Moreover he was getting the better of Santos all afternoon. Young just sucked. All game.

5. Rooney played in the attacking midfielder role right behind RVP and he did it really well. Was also very willing to drop deep to help shore up the middle. The only disappointment was his missed penalty which would've calmed some nerves.

6. RVP has reached 10 goals in 13 games. That's an amazing stat and the manner with which he scored was amazing. All he needed was one chance and one touch. Keeper had no chance.

7. De Gea hardly had much work to do. I only remember one save he had to make all of the second half, but with virtually the last kick of the game Cazorla curled a beauty which he could do little about. A fairly good game he had otherwise.

8. For a home game I had expected Man U to be more enterprising and attack-minded. We also had the bulk of the chances but didn't really capitalize on many of them. Thankfully Jack Wilshere was red-carded. The guy was gonna hurt someone soon.

9. Did anyone notice how many yellow cards were shown? It must have been a record.

10. Onwards we go! That's two tough fixtures we've won back-to-back now. Hopefully we'll continue our winning streak. I think we need to sell Nani and buy another winger to replace Young next January.

GGMU!!!
