It’s another 3 points for United as we enter an important time of the season. With many key men rested it was important that United showed their intent and seal the three points for Chelsea are always lurking, ready to claim that all important top spot from us.
Fergie decided to rest some key players last night, we had a rather unfamiliar midfield line-up in Richardson, Carrick, Fletcher and Oshea. With Rooney and Ronaldo up front. Vidic and Henize were also rested with the former on the bench.
United were slow to get going. This was probably more down to the new look team trying to find their feet than anything else. Ronaldo made it 1-0 just before half time with a crashing drive form 20 yards. Evra made it 2-0 after the break and that was all Fergie needed to bring off Ronaldo and Carrick in preparation of a visit to Middlesbrough on Saturday. O’shea made it 3 in the final minutes to cap of a convincing win.
I just wanted to say well done to the squad players who really stepped up tonight. The likes of Fletcher Richardson and O’shea allowed us rest key players and still grab the points. It was a great encouragement for me and many other fans I’m sure.
Giggs was not on the bench for yesterday’s game, with some suggesting that there is a rift between player and coach. I’m sorry but I just can’t see it somehow. Giggs has served under Ferguson since he was 14. It would be strange for the Scot to dump him at this stage of his career. Anyhow we need him fresh for Saturday’s game.
In other news Arsenal lost to Fulham… Brilliant! And Liverpool drew with Pompey. I think it is fair to say that the premiership is definitely a 2 horse race with Chelsea refusing to go away. Bring it on!!!
