United 3 Manchester 4

Martyn 5 - has lost it. Flapped about and dithered most of the game. Poor save from Scholes' shot for the 2nd goals. His kicking is shite too. Robbo - get your gloves warmed up son.

Mills 4 - utterly piss poor. Made Silvestre look world class. Had a few excellent runs 2nd half but every time his final ball went to a Man U shirt. Gary Neville and Gary Kelly must have loved it.

Harte 7 - surprisingly good game. Scored a wonder free kick and almost made it 4-4 at the death with another one. Had little chance with the 4th goal as Beckham raced forward into the huge gap.

Woody 7 - played as well as anyone could in a defence that concedes 4 goals. Superb.

Matteo 5.5 - someone has to get the blame along with Mills so it may as well be Dom !

Smith 7 - his effort and spirit were a joy to watch. Pity that his positional sense was awful and upset the balance of the team for long periods. That's not his fault though as that daft twat of a manager picks him out of position.

Batty 7 Gave everything you'd expect from Batts. Was distraught when he got subbed after 60-odd mins - the crowd booed DOL's decision.

Johnson 4 - a passenger

Kewell 5 - touched the ball once and then went home. Injured.

Viduka 6.5 - great goal and some superb play inter-mingled with some apathy, sluggish control and general crapness. Deportivo can have him for 15+ million (pounds not pies)

Fowler 5.5 - quiet for his standards. Lacked support from the midfield and was isolated for too often. I bet he wishes he plays for Man U with all the running and link up play their midfield do.

Subs/ YES !

Bowyer 8(for Kewell 10 mins) - why didn't he start ? was a revelation in the middle of the park. DOL pushed him on the left but he played in the middle anyway. Great run for Viduka's goal. Looks back to his best. Keep him in the middle and we've got a replacement for Ollie when he goes in the summer !

Bakke 6 - quiet last 25 mins for Batty

Keane 7.5- last 20 mins was livened up considerably by Robbie's introduction. Again it beggars belief why he isn't used more often. Excellent run and cross for the 3rd goal.
