What a game by Ben Foster on his debut game for Manchester United! Wasn’t called into action like usual during his times at Watford, but when it did he was ready for it. It seemed the long injury lay-off hasn’t made him lose his touch, and it was a perfect game to make a comeback, as maybe a tougher match would’ve exposed his lack of match fitness and sharpness. Alex Ferguson maybe right in saying he will be England’s number one soon enough and atleast he has time to get back in the England squad for the next World Cup. We just have to wait and see how often Fergurson decides to utilize him next season. It seems more likely Tomasz Kuz-something will be the one going out on loan next season, since Van Der Sar is showing no signs of retiring just yet.
Manchester United recorded a narrow 1-0 win against Liverpool to keep them out of the top four and keep rivals Manchester City in. It wasn’t the result Rafael Benitez was hoping for after the much hyped meeting with his American bosses. Not the ‘Howdy’ he will be hoping for. There seemed to be a defender blocking every Liverpool effort. The victory was as dramatic as last season’s John O’Shea winner at the end of the match, but Carlos Tevez punished them at the end of the first half. Sir Alex Fergurson opted to protect the one goal lead in the end, bringing on Carrick and John O’Shea. He was certainly a happy man, especially this season after the whole Gabriel Heinze issue before the beginning of the season. Sven Goran Eriksson will be pleased with the result too as Manchester City remain in the top four for atleast a few more days.
Arsenal and Chelsea was a match, all about grit and determination from both teams. (more…)
