Very proud of our defence today, they were awesome. Didnt expect it at all

Carrick did well and I thought Jones was excellent. One header in the second half which was a great commanding leap. Rafael was dodgy at times but he'll come good again, although the tide seems to be turning against him on here.

Buttner did very well too, although with little questions asked of him. He did enough though to want him in the team for the rest of the season and Evra nowhere near th starting line up.

It was the perfect game to ease him back into things. He got 90 mins under his belt which was crucial ahead of Bayern.
Downing and then Jarvis were awful today.

Be interesting to see if Moyes will give him the Man City game as well, or if Evra will be back for that.

Have to say, and I've been one of his earliest and most vocal critics, and don't get me wrong I still want him gone ASAP, but it's refreshing and nice to see him having an interview where he's under no pressure, looking relaxed and nearly holding back the big smile he has all over his face, wouldn't begrudge him it one bit and had a smile on my face listening to him.

Sorry lads missed the game, had my own match. How did Kagawa play? and Mata? and did I hear correctly earlier that Carrick was CB?

Cheers, sorry for this, just in the door

I actually enjoyed that, makes a nice change, I thought Fellaini made a difference to the play and of course Rooney up top rather than as playmaker is far more effective.

No doubt Moyes will change it all for the City match.

I don't think I've seen Buttner not play well but I don't think I've seen him against decent opposition either.


Did they say on Sky we've the best away results?

Yes in 1st on Away form. Play our home games away would be good.

Few helter skelter moments but to be expected with balls lumped in the box. Only remember de gea making one save.

RVP injury might be a blessing in disguise domestically. Kagawa Mata and Rooney looked really swift and dangerous every time. Don't think Moyes would choose that with all the lads fit but Kagawa needs to take these chances.

Buttner was excellent. Up against a powerful player he managed perfectly. Not going to say he's the final product but so much talk of needing a new LB and we sent giving this lad a chance. Well done to him

Fellaini impressed me again today with some more great defensive midfielder work.

Ashkey Young though....god he's so pathetic. Never looks up .... Such trash.

Good days work , what we need ahead of City

Young has been dire on the right today, no end product whatsoever.

He's better out there than in the left. Not saying much I suppose. He's really **** in the left!

Our amazing away record is worth **** all though, we've got pumped in Anfield, Ethiad and Stamford Bridge and not been to St. James's or Goodison where we'll also be beat. Emirates we drew and that was down more to classic late season ineptitude from Arsenal

Its one thing being optimistic but I feel like your levels of constant delusional optimism are bordering on insanity.

One of the disappointing things about today was not seeing Nani getting a run out in the last 15 minutes to replace Young.
I don't think Young's performance could be classed as a disappointment if it was as good as expected. I'm really really confused as to how he first of all became a Man United player never mind remain one for so long. It really is one of lifes great mysteries right up there with the whole fig in the fig roll situation.
