Manchester United Vs West Ham Preview

Watch the match highlights here!
We play West Ham at home today. We lost a great opportunity to clos down the gap to Chelsea by dropping two points against Everton. Michael Carrick is expected to first team action today. That's a big boost for United since lack of quality in the midfield is costing united some points. We must win this match even if West Ham have been our bogey team.

Giggs and Fletcher have been decent in the midfield, but they lack the skills to hold the ball and keep the possession. Everton outclassed them quiet easily in the second half. And how one can start Park over Nani is beyond me! I don't say that Park did anything wrong on Saturday, he was pretty decent, did some great tackles, but again he didn't do very well either. His contribution to offense was zero. There was no connection between the midfield and the forward in the second half.

United dominated the whole first half. But its really pity to see how United switch off after getting the lead. This has happened quiet a few times in the last season also. Whole team played shite on Saturday. It was Rio's worst match I must say. We could have lost the match, had Everton converted Rio's blunders. Rooney looked more interested in scoring his 100th goal than winning. Firgie again got his tactics(?) wrong. His substitutions were ridiculous. Subbing Nani for Rooney! I mean... WTF!
Team was unrecognizable at the end of the match. Tevej should have been introduced much earlier in the match. In fact he should have started the match ahead of Rooney. He certainly does not deserve to warm the bench 7 games in a row.

Ronaldo is still off pace and lacking the match fitness. He should have been rested. He is lacking confidence in his game. He missed a 10 yard chance in the second half. It wasn't easy though, but last year's Ronaldo would have tucked it in swiftly. Anyway Ronaldo and Berbatov might be rested today. Park and Nani will start on the wings today. I think Carrick will be used as a sub. Fletcher and Anderson will start in the center.

By the way, Ronaldo won the FIFPro world player of the year award!!! Nobody deserved it more than him. Rio is also there in the FIFPro world team. We should win this game comfortably.

Ronaldo and Carrick to replace Park and Anderson in the second half.
Prediction: 2-1 to United. Tevej and Ronaldo to score. :twisted:
