We played some good football, and the display from Lucas tonight may very well be very intriguing for the rest of the season and next. I've been disappointed many a times with Lucas, but I never blamed him for anything and I've supported him but I think with the performance Aquilani had put in the other night; Lucas answered the critic including myself well.
Can't wrong that performance, showed all the ways we can play and how versatile the squad can be. A lot of running from a lot of players.
Kuyt for me held up the play too many times again tonight but he was more careful than games before. Had a quiet game, didn't disturb out play that much.
Babel seems a changed player, ever looking to get back and showing determination. That left back sat back to negate his runs, so he looked to pass the ball which was good. He got isolated when he was looking to pass at times, but that's not too bad as Insua is not quick enough to steam up and down the pitch. Very professional from them both, even though Insua is prone to silly decisions.
Stevie as I said was bull dogging the defenders, and that was great to see.
Torres is the ultimate lad. He is the complete forward; his game intelligence and skill are World Class and the defenders ran away from him tonight. Another 2 goals to add to his remarkable bunch.
Pepe should be called King Pepe!
D'agger and Masch were wonderful as well. Hmmm who else? Carra, almost gifted them a goal a nifty performance nonetheless.
All in all the team and Rafa did well, hope Riera looked and felt ashamed of himself. It's performances like these that let the owners grip unto the stakes...sadly
Man U will be in for something!!! Torres in impeccable form.
