Thank you Arsenal fans for acknowledging the master class performance from the English champions - pray that the form is not reprised this super Sunday.
I have to admit that I had been overly critical of Man Utd last season and when we started the campaign this season, I wondered what we were doing with Cleverly, Wellbeck and Johhn Evans. Well, Fergie's judgement has been vindicated and with accompanying performances by Anderson, Phil Jones, Ashley Young and who else but Rooney - the future is indeed very bright.
I hope that Fergie trusts that team to dispatch Arsenal on Sunday instead of putting Hernandez and Carrick to start (as I suspect he'll be tempted to do). If Rio is fit, maybe he can start him for Evans but Phil Jones and Smalling should definitely be retained.
Evra looked suspect against Lennon so I would go for Fabio. Arsenal will get some confidence if they qualify for CL group stages this Wed but I doubt it'll be enough to stop a rampant Man Utd. Surely the Manchester derby looks to be the game of the season if the pace set by the two teams is anything to go by.
I agree Spurs looked lost without Modric, only VdV looked potent but Spurs must have thought De Gea would make blunders coz all they were attempting were weak shots from outside the box. Despite 2 almost blunders, I love the fact that the boy got a clean sheet - nothing to inspire confience more for a goal keeper.
We need to improve though if we are to face teams like Barca, Real Madrid and the likes of Bayern Munich who are still quite strong. Fergie has reconstructed a team capable of winning trophies together for another 5 years - you've gotta hand it to the old man
BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!
