He was good today. Glad to see him be more selfish. He is more creative in that free role rather than on the wings
Lol at people calling Park "Shirt sales Park". He was better than any player out there probably besides Nani.
About the incident, Well Gomes is a tard. Even if he thought it was a free kick you cant just put the ball anywhere to take the free kick, might as well put it in front of the United area.
Good result for Manchester United, it would of been a disaster if they fell 8 points behind Chelsea so a much needed victory. Thought Keane was the wrong way to go for Spurs today, you need someone a bit stronger up there like Pav when facing Rio and Vidic. Van Der Vaart once again showed a few touches of brilliance and was unlucky not to score. Was a bit un-impressed by Bale though, I thought he'd perform well on the big wide pitch that OT possesses but I suppose he can't deliver top class performances every week. Credit to Rafael though, kept him silent. Lennon did well to get the better of Evra a few times which is a hard job within itself but delivery let him down and that is something he has been a suspect of in the past. Thought Spurs more than matched United for the majority of the game, some of the stuff they played was excellent. Thought Park was stand out today, never stops running and he can beat a man, very unlucky to score early on. Disappointed in the way the second goal was conceded but it wouldn't be a football game if it didn't have an error.
Thought the second goal was a bit harsh on Spurs. Not only did Nani dive but he handled the ball when he hit the deck. Should possibly have got a yellow card. If it was a freekick then I don't know why Gomes threw it out past the 6 yard box, stupidity on his part. I also don't know how the referee can overrule the assistant when the latter was in a far better position to see the incident. Maybe a case of the ref making things even for not giving United the penalty.
Other than that, Bale vs. Rafael. Bale went past him a few times, Rafael stopped him a few times. Neither were spectacular. The fact that United doubled up on Bale and Lennon was the more important factor than the individual fullback displays themselves.
Putting aside his theatrics, Nani was the best player on the pitch closely followed by Park and Moderich. Shame Nani's effort in the closing minutes hit the bar, would have been a great goal.
Overall, deserved victory for United on the balance of play. Poor second half from both teams to be honest, Spurs just couldn't get enough men in support of Keane who was awful.
Because the referee was the one who are in charge of the whistle and he didn't whistled. Furthermore, he is the one whom Nani confirmed with before putting the ball into the back of the net...
If that's the case then Clattenburg should have blown for the freekick and booked Nani for either simulation or handball. But fair play if there wasn't a whistle, Nani didn't hear one so he played on.
First, it was a penalty. Then before kicking the ball, you can see clearly Nani looked at ref and when ref said play on he kicked the ball.
The penalty decision is up for debate. Had Nani gone down when there was contact instead of taking a tumble 3 or 4 paces after he may have got it.
Secondly, I'm not saying the goal isn't legit. Nani played to the whistle and fair play. The referee just made a mistake in not giving the freekick for the handball from Nani. Hence the confusion of Gomes thinking it was a freekick.
I don't think people are arguing about the legitimacy of the goal.
The main complaint comes from the fact that it was allowed to happen in the first place, especially given Nani's theatrical tumble and handball beforehand.
Add to that the fact that Nani dived within 10 seconds of kick-off tonight, and you have a player who sums up everything that is wrong with football at the moment.
