Absolutely delighted with the win and the performance of our second string team in the champions league semi finals. 3rd final in 4 years, Yes we are on Decline..
VDS barely made any saves. Post match he said Champions league final will be his last game. Such an emotional moment. Hope he gets the send off he deserves and also we should give him GK coaching role. He has wealth of experience and it would be shame if it is wasted. Man is a LEGEND. Top Top professional both on and off the field. Hope we find another VDS, dont care again if he is 34 or 35.
Impressed with Evans and Smalling (Bar the Mistake that led to the goal) and O'shea was rock solid.
Valencia as allays put 8/10 performance. He has become a machine. Never stops running. The way he tracks back to help full back is very impressive.
Nani was excellent. Went past Schalke defense with ease and the play to set up Anderson's goal was top class.
I'm very happy for Gibson. He gets so much stick(which he deserves many times), but he is very loyal to us. Never moan about playing time and when our CMs need rest he gets the job done. He is slowly putting performances that will make him to stay here for long time.
Goals in Champions league quarter finals and semi fianls. Big game player
Anderson was the MOTM. Even without the goals he was excellent. He dribbled past palyer in the center creating havoc and making space for others, and his passisng was class. This was the Anderson we all expected when he was signed..
Berbatov was class. Shame he didn't break his champions league duck but he is an example of team player. Match was done and dusted when we were leading 3-1 and he was one on one with Keeper and he could have shot to break his duckn but instead he chose to create goal to Anderson. He said many times, he takes pleasure in creating goals..
Oh and Raul was brilliant. 34 years old chasing back 40 yards to win the ball back from Valencia. Top professional. I prayed so much for him to score. Just as much as i did when Beckham played against us..
Raul is a LEGEND and I'm sure gonna miss him in champions league..
ledgend!
