Benfica, Nani & Owen : United progress

Ishh…malaih la nak update bila lama sangat tinggai…dok usha ja blog, forum, website & sebagainya..kadang2 ja dok menyapuk sikit2 komen kawan2...

Seri dgn Benfica (UCL) aku rasa satu keputusan yang agak baik memandangkan line-up pun bukan yang tengah on-form…nampak sgt player2 United yg diturunkan agak `rusty`…passing bola pun tak berapa nak tepat…1-1 aku rasa fair enough dgn corak & kualiti yang dipamerkan & Benfica juga merupakan lawan yang terkuat dalam kumpulan C kalau dilihat diatas kertas. Cuma jika 2nd leg nanti di OT aku rasa line-up ni tak boleh guna lagi kot unless player2 ni dah kembali ke form yang tebaik masing2.

Selepas direhatkan ketika bertandang ke Lisbao, Ando terutamanya agak longlai aksinya ketika turun bertemu Chelsea. Hantarannya banyak sangkut dikaki lawan..Valencia turun utk aksi sulung BPL setelah berehat lama….masing2 pada aku bermain pada tahap sederhana. Mujur juga Chelsea banyak mensia-siakan peluang2 terbuka bg bangkit memberi sangain ketika United menuju ke bilik persalinan dengan mendahului 3-0. Rooney turut mengingatkan Terry tentang episod penalti di Moscow 2008 ketika mensia-sia peluang penalti. Torres pula mengukir kenangan yang pasti sukar di lupakan dihadapan Stretford End. Namun 3 mata penting telah berjaya diraih walau apa jua situasi perlawanan. Welbeck kembali ke pasukan tatkala Hernandez pula ke bilik rawatan. Yang pastinya Berbatov akan lebih kerap memanaskan bangku simpanan. Apa tidaknya, aksi Carling Cup bakal menjadi ukuran apabila Owen yang turun buat pertama kalinya musim ini terus meledak 2 gol manakala Berbatov terus hilang tempatnya dihadapan bahkan dimasa2 akhir permainan, Berbatov bertindak sebagai CB apabila pemain muda Ezekiel Fryers mengalami kecederaan ketika United sudahpun menurunkan 3 pemain simpanannya. Pemain reserve iaitu Fryers, Larnell Cole & Pogba membuat debut bagi skuad utama musim ini. Jelas mereka begitu konfiden & tenang dalam aksi mereka. Paling mencuri tumpuan ialah Fryers yg mengisi slot CB bersama2 Carrick, Fabio & Valencia di bahagian pertahanan. Kemas & tenang permainan yang ditunjukkan oleh pemain2 muda ini. Pogba juga memperlihatkan kemampuannya utk membuat hantaran2 jauh yg tepat selain rajin meminta bola dari rakan2. Jelas Leeds bukan sangain United yang menurunkan 2nd string yg terdiri daripada otai2 serta budak belasan tahun…Giggs selaku pemain paling tua dipadang dengan usia 38 tahun turut mencatatkan gol ketiga United dgn aksi solonya..keluar ketika separuh masa kedua bermula & digantikan dgn Pogba yang baru usianya 18 tahun..

Hujung minggu ini Unted bakal berkunjung ke Brittania Stadium bagi bertemu pasukan yg bermain di Liga Europa iaitu Stokes City.

BPL 03 Result : Man United 8 - 2 Arsenal


Full massive result. 8-2.

Whatever City can do, United can do better.


While the blue half of Manchester looked set to dominate the footballing agenda with a stunning 5-1 win at Spurs, United went goal crazy against a depleted Arsenal side to steal the headlines and hammer home a warning to Roberto Mancini's team and the rest of the Barclays Premier League.

In a game that had everything - a missed penalty, a converted spot-kick, a hat-trick for Wayne Rooney, a red card and 10 goals, United simply romped home 8-2.

Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young (2), Nani and sub Ji-sung Park also hit the net with David De Gea superbly saving a penalty when the lead was a slender one. Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie replied for the crestfallen Gunners, who had Carl Jenkinson sent off in the second half.

United made their intentions clear from the start with Welbeck charging down Wojciech Szczesny and looking a real threat. Tom Cleverley and Welbeck shot wide and some of the Reds' passing was mesmeric.

So it was no surprise when the hesitant visiting defence failed to deal with Anderson's clever lofted pass and Welbeck steered a looping header over Szczesny for the opener. Chris Smalling dragged wide after setting up the chance for himself beautifully but, against the run of play, Arsenal were awarded a penalty when Jonny Evans pulled at Walcott's shoulder. De Gea dived to his right to push van Persie's spot-kick around the post and earn the congratulations of his team-mates. And, from United's next attack, Young collected a header out by Armand Traore and bent an inch-perfect curler past Szczesny's despairing fingertips for 2-0.


De Gea had to be alert to make a double save from Andriy Arshavin and van Persie but the champions carried the greater threat with Welbeck diving to head Rooney's cross off target. A hamstring injury cruelly ruined the young striker's afternoon, and Arshavin, who was very fortunate to still be on the pitch after a foul on Young when already booked, flashed a warning shot over the bar at the other end.

Jenkinson was also lucky to avoid a red card when hauling Young down as he sprinted through on goal but Rooney ensured his own justice was meted out by rolling the free-kick for Young to trap and then sweeping past Szczesny with the power on the shot too much for the Polish keeper.

Welbeck head for United`s lead 1-0.


Curled. Young give 2 goal lead.

De Gea saved van Persie`s spot-kick.

3rd goal from Rooney`s free kick.

Rooney showed the confidence flowing through the team when testing Szczesny from his own half but there was real complacency seconds before the interval to allow Tomas Rosicky to feed Walcott, whose drive from an angle whistled through De Gea's legs for 3-1.

It was a message that the job was still far from done, and one that was taken on board as Sir Alex's side turned up the heat again in the second half. Szczesny saved well from Young and Nani chipped wastefully off target as the hosts pressed but the Gunners responded with Dea Gea superbly stopping a van Persie volley and Arshavin firing wide when Smalling was caught up the pitch.

Tom Cleverley shot weakly at Szczesny after a brilliant one-two with Young and Nani failed to convert a cross from the former Aston Villa winger but the dam broke again when Rooney repeated his free-kick feat in the first half by whipping home for 4-1 and becoming United's all-time record scorer in the Premier League.

Smelling blood, Smalling tore forward and ignored Phil Jones on the overlap to instead feed Rooney, who prodded through for Nani to net with the most outrageous of cheeky finishes. Nani then made way, along with Anderson, for Ryan Giggs and Park but the relentless attacking continued.

Rooney wedged a golf-like shot of sheer class against an upright before Park exchanged passes with Young to bury a low finish into the corner of the net. Van Persie restored a semblance of pride with emphatic finish after being played onside by Jones but United simply stepped up a gear again.

Jenkinson received a second yellow card for bundling Javier Hernandez over when he was through on goal and there were more illegal tactics used to halt the red tidal wave when Walcott tripped Patrice Evra inside the box. Rooney stepped up to seal his hat-trick with a confident spot-kick and got oven worse for the North Londoners when Young curled in to add his second from Giggs pass.

Park shot over in stoppage time but enough damage had been inflicted to the Gunners' battered pride as the home fans rejoiced on a day to remember at Old Trafford.

Rooney scores his 2nd goal to make 4-1.

Park also in the list.


Nani celebrate his goal.


Hatrick from Rooney when he convert the penalty.


Scores again. Young did the same as his 1st goal to make it 8-2 overall.


Disaster & Humiliated.
