Weekend Roundup
Alright let’s have a totally non-bias commentary on the weekend games.
Everton 0 – Manchester United 1
I have to admit, another lackluster performance from the lads in red. Nonetheless, what mattered was that they got the 3 points in the bag, and have propelled themselves up to 4th in the table. Although Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all have a game in hand, it represents a significant increase from 14th just 3 weeks ago. Possession wise, I guess it was pretty much even, though the boys from Goodison always looked the more threatening. Goal line clearances and shaky defence from individuals gave the impression that maybe, just maybe, Everton would steal the win. The home supporters were in full voice, spurring on their heroes.
But, the Red Devils were resilient and calm. They kept the pressure on, and looked particularly looming on the flanks. In the 83rd minute (by this point my heart was beating 72589075 times per second), United were give a corner. The screen then focused on Ferdinand and Vidic jogging towards the penalty box. I remember feeling very inspired then, and I thought to myself, “Man… what would United do without these 2 pillars in defence?” And then, like a vision, I just had a feeling that that was it. A goal was coming. And sure enough, Vidic, the ever reliant header goal-scorer, did it.
What followed was an intense last 10 minutes or so, when somewhere during the 90th and 94th minute I died for a while, with the referee’s final whistle bringing me back to life.
I think United missed Hargreaves in midfield and Rooney up front. Saha didn’t exactly disappoint, but then again, people have high expectations of him now, and that’s not exactly fair. Evra played a spectacular game, tearing down the flanks and assisting in the attacks, although he’s a defender who does his job brilliantly also. Brown had a bad game, and we’re still waiting to see the report on Silvestre’s injury. (After note: he’s out for the season!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh)
Chelsea 0 – Blackburn 0
Haha. Good on ya, Blackburn!
Portsmouth 0 – Liverpool 0
You’ll never walk alone.
Spurs 1 – Arsenal 3
It never pours but it floods. That’s not to take away an emphatic performance by the Gunners.
Sunderland 2 – Reading 1
The Stadium of Light is shining again.
