Manchester United 3 QPR 1

For the 9th game this season, we've come from behind to win. Moreover last night we looked really lackluster and sloppy, particularly in the first half. Still a win is a win. As long as the goals get banged in, we'll hopefully see #20 come season's end.

1. Let's start with the keeper, Lindegaard, for once. I really like him. Ever since his "I'm not here to pick my nose" comment, which showed his ambitions, he has turned in pretty good performances rivaling that of De Gea's. However last night he made one poor save which resulted in QPR's goal. Plus one has the sneaky suspicion that he's not as agile as De Gea, especially the few times he seemed rooted by QPR's off target goal attempts. Still he's a pretty capable no2 IMHO.

2. Our defence was not having a very good night either, bar Johnny Evans, who had a monster of a game. While Evra, Rafael and Ferdinand had their share of slips, mistakes and sloppy passes, Evans was truly a rock. If he keeps this up, it is likely Vidic will have to replace Rio if he is to come back into the squad. Plus he scored the equalizer to boot.

3. Last week we lost to Norwich and our pedestrian style of play was largely attributed to the old legs of Giggsy. This week, Scholes showed himself no different. Lacking in pace and cutting edge, the first half performance was perfectly summed up when he was substituted in the 58th minute. I still love him though. A true legend. But like Giggs, he is definitely more suited as an impact sub at the ripe old age of 38.

4. His midfield counterpart was a surprising addition in Darren Fletcher. I really love the guy for his determination and he has shown that his bowel codition has been managed. What a performance in the middle (not perfect but very good) with a goal to boot! You almost felt like he really deserved so much more of this after all he's been through.

5. In the wings was where we really disappointed last night. Once again for the umpteenth time I have to state categorically that Ashley Young IS NOT MAN U CALIBRE. And he showed it once again. Poor crosses, lousy skills, puzzling movement, and one attempted dive, this guy is infuriating. We need a new winger come January. This guy cannot play properly and with Nani due to be shipped out due to his contractual problems, we're kind of narrow on options.

6. Which led to Welbeck playing on the right side even though it's not his natural position. I love the kiddo for brig Manchester born and bred, but he definitely had a game to forget last night. Without Valencia, we now have no proper wingers.

7. Our forwards had mixed games. Rooney was Rooney. Even at 70% performance he would still be better than most everyone else on the pitch. And that's what he showed. Clearly rusty, he made it up with his incessant running ad tracking back. Still glad he's with us after that 2010 fiasco. RVP had a rather forgettable game for the 2nd time in as many. By the time we were winning, he looked like he might've been trying too hard to get on the scoresheet. Hopefully he bangs them in soon. And at least his crosses are fucking good and consistent!

8. This was another game where Fergie's masterstroke was in identifying the correct weak spots and amending them fast. Enter Chicharito and Ando in the 58th minute, both with alot to prove, they literally changed the entire tempo of our game. Suddenly, we were a joy to watch again, attacking and countering with every opportunity we had. And they both combined to score the 3rd goal as well! We also saw glimpses of young Nick Powell's midfield prowess.

9. Considering that on Friday a stature of SAF was unveiled, there was no way we could lose this game, which would have been our 3rd loss in a row (something unheard of). Fergie's been managing the club for 26 years now and has brought us so much success. It is an apt tribute that he has a section of Old Trafford named after him plus now this statue. Probably will have his own road when he finally retires too. Yesterday we saw so many past players in attendance too. What a legend.

10. So we're top of the league again, while City play Chelski today. Hopefully they will draw that game. As long as we keep banging in the goals, I don't mind coming from behind all season. Looking forward to #20 and Champions League success this season!

GGMU!!!
