First Premiership Weekend (SPOILERS) - 19th & 20th August

ronaldo - escellent game but should have scored more. lots of GOOD crosses, however NO-ONE apart from their keeper was attacking the far post.

Saha - okay but he really needs to work on his right foot. each of his right sided shots was scuffed of fluffed.

apree with most of the others
 
That'll do for starters, I thought we would struggle today :o
I still think Bridge is more than just another LB, honestly don't know why JM has no faith in him :confused:
Good result, and an average performance but City didn't really push us much:)

Agree wholeheartedly. This is one of the best matches I've seen Ronaldo have, simply because most of the time he chose the right ball. Nothing fancy until we were cruising, and played the simple ball to feet a lot more than I've seen him do for us before. He also didn't dwell on it or try to do too much himself.

Totally agree. Hopefully its a sign of things to come. Only have to wait until Wednesday to find out.

yep, and we play better football without RvN. we actually did some half decent moves, 1-2's down the flanks etc to make ground and then played eithera cutback or a cross

i think we are looking half decent, given a defensive mid in place of o'shea.

The thing is, those were the sort of moves Ruud used to be integral too, but the last few seasons with him we somehow turned into a side who didn't make supporting runs, meaning 90% of his job was holding the ball up for support and the other 10% was tap ins.

Now it looks like we've finally rediscovered the flowing football that won us the treble.

In regards to Evra:

He wasn't THAT good. I dont think some of you watched the game closely enough. Yes he did make some great tackles and was good on the ball today, but he made a lot of mistakes that would be taken advantage of against a better team.

Sitting where I was, first half i had the perfect view of Evra's performance. He was caught out of position so many times and if it wasn't for Brown and Ferdinand we could have conceded one or two more. The goal was pretty much Evra's fault. Also, sometimes he'd throw his foot at the ball and it'd end up nowhere. His performance today was twice as good as anything we saw last season, but he's still got a very long way to go. The quicker Heinze comes back the better.
