This was one of the most boring performance I have witnessed by our time, that doesnt mean the result was bad. I would have taken a point from this fixture. Atleast We did not lose. Lets see how our players performed
David De Gea 7.5- If not for him we would have lost. He is a tremendous keeper. He has become more bolder. He couldnt have stopped the goal. Overall a very good performance by our spanish keeper.
Rafael 7- See how much difference he brings in Right back. He should be starting majority of the game. No Jones, No smalling. The way he moves forward with the ball is admirable. He created a chance for RVP also. Good stuff.
Vidic 7- Captain vida was at his best but he made one mistake and that cost us the goal. He would have got more if not for the mistake, But he really is still our best defender.
Smalling 6- I was surprised to see Smalling making some mistakes in defense. He was caught out of position on more than one occasion. Not a good game . But he will improve.
Evra 6.5- He also had an average game. He lost position quite a few time. He was good in defense though. He handled the pacy wingers quite well. SO good job on that part.
Valencia 6- For me Valencia is a defensive winger, yes that is an awkward term but if you look how he plays he seems to be a defensive winger. His crosses were poor. Only job he did well was defending. Nani is a better choice.
Fellaini 5.5- Now that was a horrid performance from Fellaini. Whenever he got the ball, ref blew the whistle against him. He needs to stop committing so many fouls on opponents. He will take time to get adjusted to play here. I still feel fellaini is an important player for us.
Carrick 6- He did well in defensive work but his passing is still below par. He has not been in his best this season thats for sure. He has not imposed himself into the game. He needs to be more involved in the game
Cleverley 6.5- People never appreciate Tom's contribution , he was the better of the three midfielders we were playing yesterday. He doesnt bring that much impact but he does move the ball very quickly. I still feel given the chance cleverley can establish himself as a very good midfielder.
Welbeck 6.5- He was pretty good in the first half, scored a goal, defended well. In second half he was not to be seen. I felt he should have been subbed of early. Atleast he has scored more goals than last season.
RVP 6- RVP was hardly involved in the game. He got couple of chances which he missed. He has not adjusted to Moyes play of style. Last season he was our main man but this season he is not. I feel Moyes should make use of RVP better.
Substitutes
Giggs 5.5- Now that was a poor substitution by Moyes. Why bring Giggs? He was no better than Fellaini. Please moyes, Giggs is not a midfielder. Have nothing more to say about him.
Jones-NA - He came for last 20 seconds. He should have been bought earlier replacing Fellaini and Giggs could have replaced Welbeck. I love Jones as a defensive midfielder, surprised Moyes did not consider it.
Man of the match- De Gea- Vidic was my man until he made the mistake which cost us the goal.De gea was really good. Really happy for him.
Teams Rating 5.5/10
It was a boring performance. But happy we got a point. I feel moyes is playing too safe. Loss to West Brom and City have not helped him. He tried to be ambitious against WBA at home but lost the match, now he is playing safe. I hope he does field an attacking line up against Sunderland. Nothing but a win is needed. We need to get the season rolling now. The game against Sunderland reminds me of the same situation of last season where we needed a win at this period against Newcastle away. We had just lost to Spurs at home and needed the win very badly against Castle. Same way this season we need to beat sunderland very badly. Moyes needs to be more positive and ask his team to play attacking football. Just settling for one goal or settling for draw is not United style.
