Their first 30 minutes was good , very good controlling game , and i do not want to criticise Ferdinand and Vidic , the 2 goals was well taken .
Spurs was going places with their first half display ....
Second half , yeah , Mu pressed ..... they still doing well .
U just don't concede unneccessary contact with players inside the box , u must be professional enough to know that , opponent being 0-2 down , Spurs playing away , opponent can't get any first goal , the last thing they want it's a penalty if possible . that situation it's not even threatening , and Gomes fell into Mu's trap this time , felling Carrick .
The first MU goal was crucial at that point .
MU were running out of ideas before the penalty .
And please look at Gomes' positioning for that Rooney's goal ! With a defender infront of him , Rooney's angle was limited , leaving Rooney's to have a shot at that only angle , that angle must be covered , but NO , Gomes' positioning was bad , very bad .
No doubt MU pressed for a win .... and they did it with some blunders from a Brazilian keeper .
I am saying , MU is always capable in winning at home , whether or not they pressed for it , it's the way Spurs threw away the match ...
Mind you , i won $300 with a MU win , but why did i criticise Spurs so much ?
In a fan's prespective , it's sad Spurs , an establish club in London , listed company in the stock exchange , has to go out the pitch head down .
Hull lost , but they lost with their head held high , no disgrace display , one man down , they still do it like 11 men .
Liverpool played badly and won . Ugly win .
Did i mention i blast my own team even if they're winning ?
Go and YNWA and see my post .
dude, cheers..
Originally posted by zocoss:I am finding all these reasons about Gomez rather silly... Blaming the guy for what? Its not as though we are new to his game... He is a good keeper but yet not fully reliable at times... Thats how he has been since he came to the Premiership... So those saying kelong or Harry is Alex's friend are just plain upset that United got 3 points from a game they were 2 goals down... Simple as that.
I wouldn't blame Gomez for the 2nd goal cos he had to move a little to the left in case Rooney curl it to that corner... (Like what Macheda did to Villa). From the replay, we could see Rooney moving in, this being the case, he had to move in order to cover the other side as he had a defender covering Rooney for his near post... Its just unfortune for him or a piece of skill from Rooney to shoot it with power under the covering defender's legs and into his near posts corner thats all... And for some to suggest Harry pull back... Think again, Harry was the West Ham manager in 1995 that upset Fergie in the title race on the last day or United would have already equal Pool's 18th titles last season...
The main thing here I belief why they are so upset with Spurs is... Many non-United fans were really looking forward and believed United could drop some serious points in this match... I, to be honest also felt they might only get a draw as Spurs have been in red hot form recently and taken points off all the top 4 sides... Even at Arsenal and Chelsea's home grounds... They even beaten Pool earlier in the season... So when after taking a 2 goals lead then ended up losing... It could really be frustrating for them... I guess they found it hard to swallow... lol
To be fair to United, go and watch the replay... It all started in the last 10 mins of the first half after United went 2 down... It wasn't after the penalty... Gomez made a number of good saved to keep the score that way going into half time... And this was the same Gomez that saved Giggs injury time free-kick back in Dec to prevent United a win at WHL...
Ok lah, like I have said at the start, bottom line is you guys are just disappointed United got all 3 points from a position of 2 goals down... It was an opportunity lost I understand, it can be very upsetting but these things happens... So to those upset Pool fans or anti-United fans, just get over it... Look towards the next match lah...
