Ratings vs Valencia

VDS – 7: Flapped early but was wholly solid

Evra – 5.5: I feel a 5 would be harsh but he wasn’t much better. Mind isn’t there and is looking less than average, hopefully he returns to his usual self soon.

Vidic: 7: wasn’t his best but still looked good, good to see him beside Rio again.

Ferdinand 8: Was very influential at the back shutting the door in Valencia’s face numerous times, good to see him back.

Rafael 7: Very mature performance at right back justifying why people want to see him nail down the position. Looked good even without the eye catching forays forward.

Fletcher 6: Another player off the boil looked OK but can be much better

Anderson 7: Energetic early but did fade which is understandable after being out for so long, good to have him back.

Carrick 6: Was an average performance, caused alarms early when gave away possession outside the box but grew into the game with some key interceptions.

Nani 7: Wasn’t at his recent best but looked good going forward and also helped tracking back too, another string to his bow!

Park 5: Ineffective, lost the ball quite a bit and didn’t really trouble their backline.

Berbatov 6: Didn’t have much to do but carved out a good chance for himself and was unlucky to score that. Worked hard.

Subs:

Macheda 7: for his brief appearance he showed a lot about himself. Really has star quality and the fact he continually makes a difference is very promising. Troubled their backline and set up the winner.

Hernandez 7: had two chances (1 and a half) and scored the winner with one of them. Excellent finish after getting the ball out of his feet.
