Ratings -VS- Manchester United

[General Levy]

Cerny - 7 Very solid and commanding. Made a great save from Anderson.

Hutton - 7.5 The fact that Ronaldo got 1 point for my fantasy football team really says it all.

Dawson - 7 Great defending let down by some ridiculously bad hoof passing which gave the ball back to UTD.

Woodgate - 7.5 Very impressive.

Chimbonda - 7.5 Great considering all the pressure he was under with the new signings and oop.

Lennon - 7.5 Getting back to his awesome best.

Huddlestone - 8 He really was something else today. I have been his harshest critique but today he was immense.

Jenas - 7.5 Great engine as usual. Great run for goal. This guy is class.

Malbranque - 8 Absolutely un-recognizable from the Malbranque this time last year. Easily our player of the season so far this year

Berbatov - 7.5 great goal. Still lacks-a-daisy on the ball. Great run to set up Keane which Keane should have scored.

Keane - 7.5 hustled ManYoos defenders all game. Missed a great chance but he defended great from the front today - I was very impressed with his pressing and defending.

Subs:

Boateng - 6.5 came on and never had time to impress.

O'hara - was on for 30 seconds - forgot to add his name to the poll

[The Apprentice]

Lennon was Man of the amtch. Constant thorn in their side and worked tirelessly tracking bavk. U21s? You're having a laugh.

The U21s is a proper match. The 1st team is a friendly against the chocolate cuckoo clock makers. Already said he will be back in the frame after U21s qualify.

[gregga]

Cerny - 7
Chimbonda - 8
Woodgate - 8
Daws - 7 (loses a mark for poor distribution)
Hutton - 8 - looks excellent
Malbranque - 7 - tireless
Jenas - 7 - great effort
Hudd - 8 - great distribution
lennon - 8 (mom) - i thought he was excellent
berbatov - 7 - cool finish, great set up for keane
keane - 6 - cost us the game i'm afraid. worked his socks off but that chance was nearly as easy as they come in the premier league. so disappointed.

boatang - 6 - free kick he gave away could have cost us
o'hara - 5 - woeful defending on that corner

 

[tt265]

I just want to say that Pascal had a bloody great game. that sliding tackle in the box in the last ten minutes was heroic.
Overall a great team performance.

 

[Legend10]

JJ, Lennon & the Hudd have improved their games immeasurably under Ramos.

These 3 are going from strength to strength.

 

[bomberH]

Cerny - 7 - One great save in second half, would like him to come off his line a little more.

Hutton - 7 - Nervous first half, much better 2nd. Excellent double tackle in 2nd half.

Woody - 8.5 - Looks a very, very good buy. Let's pray he stays fit. Didn't let anything past him.

Dawson - 7.5 - Looked a different player to last week but needs to stop hoofing it and giving it back to the opposition. Great display though.

Chimbonda - 8.5 - Possibly his best game for us. Put in 100% effort, same next time please.

Lennon - 8.5 - Worked tirelessly, attacked and defended really well.

Jenas - 7.5 - Good defensive work today

Huddlestone - 8.5 - This time last year, Scholes made him look stupid. Today he got his revenge. Would've got a 9 if he hadn't tried dribbling out of his penalty area which in the end led to the goal (i think).

Malbranque - 8 - Usual self, tireless and tracks back like no other....er, apart from Lennon.

Keane - 8 - Loved Keane today. He chased everything and everyone for the whole 90 minutes. Should've scored though.

Berbatov - 7.5 - Scored, did a brilliant run which Keane should've scored from, and held the ball up well. Only complaint is that sometimes his 'laidbackness' allows the opposition to dispossess him too easily.

MOTM - i'd have to say between Chimbonda, Woody and Hudd. I'll go for Chimbonda, on the basis that he was playing completely out of position and really did give 100% today.

 

[don1]

man of the match for me was daws and a close second was chimbonda great game by all the lads today home debut for woodgate and hutton looked good things are looking a lot better for us

 

[Kyras]

Everyone an 8 bar Huddlestone and Lennon who i thought were a 9.

Big well done to Hutton and Chimbonda as well, chimbs out of position looked awesome and Hutton's debut in the premier league against man u was quality.

As much as I love Jol, Juande Ramos looks like he's really taken us up another notch.
