Manchester United vs. Blackburn Rovers

Come on Everton. Hold on there. Chelsea had been starting to look rather ominous so 2 points dropped would be very good.

Typically, they tend to drop points over Christmas and ofcourse Cech is out at the moment.
 
Yeah, so, how have Hargreaves-Anderson performed so far?
 
This match is clear reason for anyone who didnt choose Ronaldo as #1 in the how important is Rooney thread. The guy has end product now, he only needs one touch whether it be on his head or toe. Cristiano Ronaldo = FIFA World Player of the Year
 
I wouldn't write Blackburn off yet, Sparky will give them one hell of a team talk at half time i would imagine. If we can get the third THEN we can write them off :D
 
Ta for link R0N4LD0. Both fantastic goals. Second one's my fav though.
 
a bit scrappy to start with.

Not much creativity from the midfield as Anderson is not really in the game and Hargreaves is more about chasing the ball like a mad bull dog than creating. This is causing a fair amount of hoofing which we need to cut out by bringing Anderson into the game or getting Carrick on.

Saha starting to warm up towards the end of the half.

Ronaldo is simply awesome.

don't even mention kaka to me. can't be arsed to keep his team at the top of their league...but how is he gonna play in the CL otherwise?

don't get me wrong, kaka is awesome, but if he wins player of the year it will be a sham, a political appointment.
 
Blackburn have played well. They've had more chances at Old Trafford in the first half than most teams I can remember. Hughes will be raging about how that first goal was conceded.

I don't think Aderson has been quite on his game today, there's been a lot of poor passes. It might be an idea to bring Carrick on. This game is far from over.

He's won the CL, Ronaldo not. Seems to be the criteria, similar to Cannavaro
 
Just seen the two goals. Cheers for the link.

Goal 1: Although it's a free header, it's still a phenomenal leap and he does well to get the power on it.

Goal 2: United at their best. Devestating counter attack. Good play from Louis and nice square ball from Tevez. Look how Ronaldo just left his man for dead. Ridiculously fast.
