You really are so biased its unreal.Lloris - 7 - outstanding save at the beginning and did well throughout the game, but his rush of the blood could have cost us another 2-1 lead against United.
Walker - 8 - head and shoulders our Man of the Match, I can't believe more people haven't give him credit for a performance where he didn't make a single defensive error. An uncharacteristically intelligent performance where he sacrificed his attacking play because he knew Lennon would pull Evra's pants down, and just focused on keeping the over=rated Januzaj quiet. He kept him so quiet he had to switch wings and then Kagawa felll victim to his masterclass.
Dawson - 8 - really shaky opening ten minutes, but from then on was collosus at the back. A great return to form hopefully!
Chiriches - 6 - it scares me that he is still not switched on with regards balls in behind him. United looked they were targetting him first ten minutes and they were in on a couple of occasions but then they just stopped doing it. They did it for their second goal though, and he has to take all the blame for it. There is no way somebody at fault for the opponents goal is receiving MOTM from me. No way.
Rose - 5 - You could just tell he wasn't fit, and because he has done relatively well all season I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. The least said about his performance tonight, the better.
Lennon - 8 - Him and Walker provide a formiddable partnership down the right. Faultless performance from him really, apart from when he should have scored. But his miss overshadowed some fantastic attacking movement from him, let's not forget that. Poor Evra, pants pulled won yet again. Well done, Azza.
Capouet - 7 - In possession I was actually a bit disappointing with his display, and this is something I am beginning to regularly note about him which is a concern. But what he did so well whilst he was on is occupy that pocket that Rooney likes to drop in to. Before his absence, Rooney was non-existent.
Dembele - 7 - a very different type of performance to what we are used to seeing from Moussa. He will be a tired boy tonight!
Eriksen - 7 - I had been quite critical of him of late, but he played with real intelligence just as he did on Sunday. His goal was particularly refreshing for me, because a midfielder finally took a gamble and it paid off. I keep forgetting this guy is only 21 too! I am definitely excited about what he can bring to the team for the remainder of the season.
Soldado - 8 - We are beginning to see the real Roberto. Fantastic couple of passes tonight which made real notable chances. If it was Berbatov or Suarez who made those passes, he would now have a clip on Spankwire. He must start taking these chances though, but I still think he is going to get 25+ goals this season.
Adebayor - 8 - Almost everything good came through him. He is a very talented striker who should play every minute of every game, but I have always thought that. Hopefully he is OK for Saturday, even if it is only just for another similar 60-minute stint.
Subs - 7 - I questioned every sub really, but they all came on and offered energy - even if little else. But that was all that was required in fairness.
Sherwood - 9 - I have questioned his every team selection and substitution since he took over, but I cant fault him tonight. Lamela would have been a better option than Chadli though in my opinion.
Howard Webb - 8 - I am not Howard's biggest fan, especially as he always contrives to fuck us over at every opportunity. He could have done the same tonight, as Manchester United are a cheating bunch of twats - but he stood firm thank god.

Dawson was marking Welbeck and they scored once and once only.
You forgot to mention Vlads pass for OUR SECOND GOAL, it took there whole midfield out.
