A tale of 2 halves and 2 magnificent players for either team:
Adams for Blackpool in the first half and Giggs for United in the
second half.
Summary of match:
1. Playing 5 in midfield in away matches as predicted earlier
backfired. Berbatov is not getting any support and hardly had any
sniff at goal before the formation reverted back to 4-4-2 midway
through the first half.
2. Gibson is garbage. A 37 years old Giggs outplayed someone
who's 13 years his junior. It's like Lucas for Liverpool last
season, we have Gibson for United.
3. Giggs must have drank some magic potion alongside Scholes,
the performance they put in really puts the young ones (Fletcher,
Gibson) to shame.
4. Berbatov is a lethal weapon upfront this season, almost
everything he touches resulted in a goal. Goal number 19 in the
premier league for him, I'm rooting him to score past 25.
5. That wonder boy Chicharito always, yes, always impress when
he comes on. It's hard not to compare him with the great Ole, a
miracle supersub. He could have easily grabbed a hat-trick had the
keeper not been alert both in the one-on-one and the cross from
Giggs.
6. Concussion to Rafael - A sight to forget. He was doing well
until the head collision, let's hope he's alright.
7. United fighting spirit wins the match. I thought a draw will
be good enough and United went further by taking the 3rd away win
of the season. Kudos to Fergie and his half-time hairdryer team
talk.
