Another Bizarre performance by our players and yet again points dropped. There were times when it was us who used to score goals at the end but yesterday it was opposite. Lets see how our players performed
David De Gea 6.5- I really felt he could have done better for the goal conceded. He did a decent job prior to that though. Its surprising that he is not even getting selected in the Spain Squad.
Rafael- 6 Not his best games by any means. It was not like he had an awful game but his crossing from the flanks reminded me of Valencia's crossing. He was not able to give one proper cross. Having said that he is still our Number 1 Right Back.
Phil Jones- 7 I was very happy to see Jones playing in his preferred position and he did pretty well. His clearance on many occasions were worth appreciating. Unfortunately he made one mistake and we conceded. Overall he did well.
Evans- 7.5 He is one of our most underrated players. I am happy that Moyes took a bold decision and dropped Rio. Evans needs a run of games. He can be our First choice Center Back. I lost count on how many clearance he did with his head. Good performance Jonny.
Evra 6.5 He had a mixed game. He showed a lot of passion but he was caught out on many occasion. He was decent going forward and nicely linked with Janujaz. Tidy performance but nothing great.
Nani 7.5 He was our best player on the pitch yesterday . He is by far our best winger in the squad and happy he is getting consistent run of games ahead of Young and Tony V. He created many opportunities for our strikers who just couldnt finish. Pretty surprising he didnt finish the whole game. When he was gone it affected our game.
Carrick- 6.5 Unlike last season he is not able to boss the midfield. He did his work yesterday OK but with carrick we expect a lot. He is one of many players who has not found his form this season.
Fellaini 3.5 Ohh God that was an awful performance. Its one thing to have an off day but when you perform like this you really dont know what to say. He kept stranded on his position while Southampton players eased past him and on attacking front he got a really good opportunity but he just shot the ball far away from the goal. I am not saying he is shit or he has been a flop but he needs to improve. Performances like this wont help him.
Janujaz 6.5- Another decent performance by our New prodigy. He is really talented and of you want proof just look at the 40 yard pass to rooney which ultimately led to the Goal. He can also shoot from long distance. He lost the control after 65 odd minutes and should have been subbed but he did well and showed what player we have in our hands. Pretty pleased that he has signed a 5 year Contract with us.
Rooney 5 Yes he was that poor. He lost the ball on countless occasion. It was like he didnt want to hold on to it. Its performance like this that makes me sad and angry with Rooney. Moyes needs to address this issue. If you are having a bad day then you need to be subbed off. Rooney on form can be the best thing for us.
Robin Van persie 6 Atlast he scored a goal for us from an open play. Like Carrick he is also not at its best this season and it is affecting our performance. He also lost ball position many times. He needs to up his game if we have to play well. Atleast he scored one so he will get some confidence back.
Substitutes
Giggs 5.5- Another disappointing performance by our legend. On first place he shouldnt have replaced Nani but having done that he performed pretty badly. He lost the ball and his passing were also not that good. Maybe like Young and Rio , Moyes should learn to use Giggs on a very rare occasion.
Welbeck 5.5 I have always felt that this will be welbeck's season. The confidence that Moyes is showing is worth admiring but he needs to play well. Last night he couldnt run with the ball. It was like there was no coordination between his feet and Ball. I know these things happen even with great players but Danny always does that. Whenever he gets a goal scoring chance he trips himself or fails to shoot properly. He really lacks confidence infront of goal. I still have lot of faith with him and still believe he will be a top player for us.
Smalling N/R- He should be starting more games. He had a good outing with England.
Man of the Match- NANI - Really good performance by our mighty winger. Hope he keeps his good form.
Team's Rating 6/10
If you look at the Substitute Ratings it would seem like they cost us the point and it is partly true also. Moyes made some bad substitution. He has been playing very safe. I know he needs win badly but you dont defend a one goal lead from 60 odd minutes, atleast not in Manchester United. When I saw the bench prior to the game I thought atleast today we may see one of Zaha, Kagawa and Hernandez if not all the three but again none of them appeared even when the situation demanded. He needs to show more trust on Kagawa and Hernandez. Maybe in next few games he will. He is still learning and finding what his best playing XI is. He should learn fast as our rival teams are settling down it seems. Moyes should act fast.
Having said that its not correct to put the blame solely on Moyes. What can a manger do when his players are not finishing the chances of, or his main players like Rooney and Fellaini are performing so bad. Players should take equal responsibility. We dropped 2 points at home but we should not forget that Southampton have been pretty good this season. They beat Liverpool at their turf and have only conceded 3 goals so far this season. So we should not get too upset . Let us stand by our players and manager. Its a long season. Its no guarantee that Arsenal will remain on top, same way its no Guarantee that We will be in 8th position when the season ends. Teams will drop points. Even after such a mixed start we are only 8 points below the leaders.
