Now Clearly that was our best performance this season, yes we did concede 2 goals but atlast we became more creative in the attack. We could have score 6 or even 7. Really good performance. So now lets look how our boys fared
De Gea- 6.5- He had nothing to do for 50 odd minutes but then bayer increased their game level and started to attack. Couldnt do much about the first goal but he should have done much better for the second goal. He needs to command his defenders more. The corner from which the goal was conceded should have been avoided. Even the goal should have been avoided. Other than this he did make some decent save.
Smalling- 7- He is better option at RB than Jones but I still prefer to see either of the twins (Fabio or Rafael) as RB. Defensive wise Smalling did a great a job which shows he should play as a centre back. He couldnt help valencia by going forward. I have high hopes from him. He should get more chances at his natural position that is Centre back.
Rio- 6- I havent seen Rio been so indecisive in a game like yesterday. He made 3 or 4 mistakes. It seems he is tired. Smalling performed much better defensively than Rio. I wouldnt have mind to see Smalling start instead of Rio yesterday. But Moyes didnt want to take risk and rightly so. I hope he just brings his A game against City.
Vidic- 7.5- He was much better than his partner Rio. He really commands his area. His performances is reminding me of his old days. Hope he just stay's injury free.
Evra- 7- Was is it only me who felt Evra was tired. He was decent in defense but he lost possession 2 or 3 times or even more. I have always loved to see evra going forward and even in this match he did that part really well. He even got a assist. Nice work Paddy.
Valencia -8 - Ohh how much have we missed seeing this Tony V. Especially his second half performance was just awesome. This is how he should play. Be more confident and start taking on the defender. Loved how he scored the goal. A bullet shot. WELL DONE. More of this on Sunday also please.
Carrick- 8- A really good performance by Carrick. I noticed he was more comfortable playing with Fellaini as now he can concentrate on passing the ball rather than also focusing on winning the ball back. He was really good today.
Fellaini-7.5- Pretty decent debut by fellaini. I lost my count on how many times this lad won the ball for us. He is just too strong for players to handle. He will be very useful in these big european games. He also does a great job in the defense, he clear so many balls by his head. The moment he was subbed we conceded a goal from corner. This shows his importance. Only thing that I wanted to see is He should be going forward more often. I thought he was very conserved. But he will improve on that once he start playing more for us.
Kagawa- 5.5- I really love when Kagawa starts for us. It was his first start this season and he didnt do that much. He started of really well by making some cheeky passes to RVP. But as the game progresses he got tired. It was natural as it was his first game. He was easily getting out muscled by the opponent players. He will improve gradually.
Rooney 9- Yes he was the best player in the pitch. I am honest with you guys when I say that I was damn frustrated when Rooney did not pass the ball to RVP when RVP was all alone. After that we conceded and they equalised. But he made amends for that by scoring a goal and passing a beautiful ball to Tony V for him to score. Well done. Congratulation for his 200th goal.
RVP- 8- Ok I have to get this out of my chest, How come a players scores tough goals so easily and misses sitters. RVP scored a great goal with ease. But at the end he misses a sitter. I have always seen RVP do that. He misses easy ones and score some unbelievable ones. With rooney dominating RVP wasnt seen that much but as the game progressed he played deep and started to get involved in the game. Now that what great players do. This is where he is different from the dutch legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy ( I loved him very much). He has already scored 6 goals this season. So be ready for another 25+ goals from the dutch maestro provided he stays injury free.

Young 6.5- I have to admit it he has been performing really well. His good pass to Rooney created the goal for Valencia . He was doing better than Kagawa. I feel he will start against City. I also noticed Moyes prefers to play Young.
Cleverly- 6- He was not bad but we saw the difference between Fellaini and Tom. Cleverly does all the hard work but he hesitates to pass forward or take the ball and run with it. His short passing is good though. I always want him to succeed here. Now with fellaini arriving he needs to take the given chance.
Hernandez - NR- Did he even got to touch the ball. I feel for the lad. He deserves to play more but cant blame moyes as RVP and rooney are doing a fine job. Chicho just needs to be patient and Moyes should just keep on reminding him that this is a long season, you will get chance. I just dont want to lose this lad.
Man of the Match- ROONEY. Performed really well and also scored his 200th goal. Great achievement. He should do the same against City as he loves scoring against them. I am loving the fact that now we are seeing both RVP and rooney score goals. Hope this continues through out the season.
Overall it was a fine game for us, 3 points is what we needed. Like moyes said in his post match interview that you dont want to chase the other teams. Next game against Shaktar will be tough. Just dont lose that one. There were few issues that would bother Moyes and that is Defense. We have seen once we score 3 or 4 our players tend to take it casually especially likes of Rio and Evra. I hope Moyes addresses this issue. I am happy we are scoring goals also. The talks of our team is not creative and moyes is adopting defensive approach has been put to bed for time being atleast.
GOOD WIN.
