we won and played well, but there is no need to spin this in any way. man u played well today and could have just as easily won. it was a close, good game that could have gone either way.

Ronaldo is the best attacking player in the world, he creates chances against every defence.Clichy did as well as can be expected imo.Those " spin aways " are almost impossible to defend against, Clichy did well enough to recover against them.
asajoseph said:Almunia - 7 - A hopeless moment right at the outset, and dropped a couple of shots in the first half, but never caused us too many problems, and overall this was a very solid performance
Sagna - 7 - Hopeless crossing, but otherwise very solid and committed down the right. Needs to work a bit more closely with Walcott.
Gallas - 8 - Finally, a captain's performance from a man who must know he has a lot to prove.
Silvestre - 7 - Awful passback in the first minute, and far from secure at the back. Brilliant tackle on Park though.
Clichy - 8.5 - Stuggled a bit with Ronaldo in the first 15, and gave him a bit too much time and space. Had him in his pocket thereafter, and got forwrad superbly, and put in some excellent balls.
Walcott - 7 - Poor end product, but is getting nowhere near enough credit here for his movement - his running off the ball was absolutely brilliant, and had Cesc found a few more passes, it could have been a very different afternoon.
Denilson - 8 - Switched off a bit in the last 10 minutes of the first half, but otherwise showed a lot of fight in defence, and played that pivotal role behind Cesc very well.
Cesc - 7 - Some great passes, and good work, but had he been slightly more on song, he could have created twice as many chances. Not a bad performance though.
Nasri - 9 - An almost perfect attacking performance. Great movement, great interplay, great strikes. Kept posession really well.
Diaby - 7 - Really thrives in the more advanced role, played the ball well, and some very intelligent play at times as well. Didn't really offer much of a goal-threat, which is a bit of a problem, but overall good.
Bendtner - 7.5 - Much improved from his awful Stoke and Fenerbahce performances, worked really hard up front, got into good positions, and was usually an effective outlet. A little naive at times though, and perhaps should have had at least one goal.
Subs:
Song - 7.5 - A total contrast to his Sp**s performance - did exactly what he should have done then, and genuinely made us more secure when he came on. Swept up well in midfield, and was calm in distribution when we needed it most.
Fabianski - 7 - Did everything that he could have done, though wasn't really overly tested.
Touré - 6.5 - Not much time to make an impact, but showed willingness to run and added the required steel on the right hand side
