Hello,
With a couple defensive hiccups, United seemed to control the game to defeat West Ham by a score of 3-0. It was another very impressive game from Wayne Rooney who, despite some questionable service at times, still managed two goals, bringing his season scoring to 27. Even Owen managed a goal and I was glad the game was delayed as the swears would have been outrageous coming from a certain club member. Let's call her Kate for now.
Foster returned and gave a good performance, even one good save. It is too bad he messed up so badly at the beginning of season but he had to go. Darron Gibson had a good game however he had several bad passes and many missed opportunities, especially with an open Rooney and Burba here and there. But one has to praise Dimitar Berbatov and Antonio Valencia given the Bulgarian's excellent crossfield pass and an even better volleyed cross to the far post to a waiting Rooney was the man who had shifted into space. This is a something perhaps some United fans take for granted: Rooney's ability to move around, get in to space and perhaps most important, bring defenders with in, opening up lanes for players like Scholes, Fletcher and Gibson. Rooney = great team player.
I like West Ham and think they are a fun team to watch. Gianfranco Zola, hopefully, is starting to move forward with managing. Sometimes great players do not make great managers but I hope Zola is given time.
Oh yeah, Anderson is out for the season.
See you next time.
