Terrible match. We were constantly chasing the game, and couldnt cope with Steven Fletcher. It was a home match, and we should have won easily. Really really disappointing, and i am rather peeved!!

Cavani was immense. Totally unstoppable today. No matter what the defence tried, Cavani outdid them. Twisting, turning, movement, positioning, everything was perfect today. He completely deserved his 4 goals. Welbeck didnt score but linked up very well with Cavani, which was very pleasing!
English Premier Division - 20 Oct 2012

Man Utd vs Chelsea (Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Rafael(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)
Valencia(WM) Hazard(AP) Asamoah(CM) Gotze(W)

Subs Used: Vrsaljko, Anderson, Hernandez

FT: 1-1 Torres (4), Hernandez (90+5)

MOTM: Cech (8.2)
Top performers: -





Frustrating. That pretty much summed up the game. We created chance after chance and had shot after shot and still couldnt get past Cech, who was having a fantastic game (unfortunately for us). I was starting to doubt that we would keep our unbeaten record, but Hernandez came to the rescue with a very very late goal!
UEFA Champions League - 23 Oct 2012

Man Utd vs Toulouse(Home)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Vidic(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)
Gotze(WM) Felipe Anderson(AP) Asamoah(CM) Hazard(W)
Hernandez(P) Cavani(CF)

Subs Used: Asamoah, Rooney

FT: 1-0 Hernandez (78)

MOTM: Hernandez (7.7)
Top performers: -





Another game with poor finishing. Decent chances created, but poor finishing. We couldnt kill them off. We were lucky that this was only a group stage match. If it were a knockout match, we would have to put in a great away performance to even get a win. Its good to see Hernandez hitting a bit of form recently. I will probably start him from now on.

De Gea(GK)
Rafael(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)

Subs Used: Vrsaljko, Anderson, Hernandez

FT: 1-0 Hernandez (12)

MOTM: Rafael(7.4)
Top performers: -





Im happy with the win, but not so happy with the scoreline. Tottenham looked dangerous on the counter, but out defence handled them really well, playing together as a unit.

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Smalling(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)

Extra Time: 3-1 Hernandez (109), Fletcher (118)

MOTM: Hernandez(8.7)
Top performers: Fletcher (7.7), Evra (7.6), Ferdinand (7.5)





It was annoying that we had to take the game all the way into stoppage time just to secure the win. Hernandez performed superbly as did our defence. I hope the extra 30 mins doesnt take too big a toll on my players and effect their Premier League performance

MOTM: Cavani(8.8)

Shocking start, with Ferdinand clearly showing his age! But good comeback from the front men to put us clear within the first 10 minutes! Felipe Anderson played well, showing a good range of passes for his age.
UEFA Champions League - 7 Nov 2012

Man Utd vs Toulouse(Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Vidic(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)

FT: 1-0 Cavani(52)

MOTM: Remy Riou (7.3)
Top performers: -





Poor result. They played well, and used their home advantage well. Our midfield looked a little lost, and just could string together good periods of possession and didnt link up too well with the front men.
English Premier Division - 10 Nov 2012

Man Utd vs Watford(Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)

FT: 2-0 Cavani (11, 43)

MOTM: Pogba(9)
Top performers: Cavani (8.8)





A decent performance, though Pogba was simply flawless today. He couldnt put a foot wrong, and his through balls to the front men were top class.
English Premier Division - 14 Nov 2012

Man Utd vs Stoke (Home)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Rafael(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Jones(CD) Evra(WB)

FT: 3-0 Rooney (pen17, 90+2), Welbeck (90+4)

MOTM: Rooney(9)
Top performers: Asamoah (8), Rafael (8)





Created quite a few chances, but failed to make them pay. Asamoah controlled the midfield nicely, and dug in well making sure the opposition couldnt get settled. Hazard was poor, and hasnt been great recently. Rooney had a brilliant game, earning himself the penalty, and then slotting it home. The two quickfire goals at the end came from Stoke pushing too far forward and too quickly.
Injury News:

Hazard out for 2 weeks with pulled hamstring
RECORD:

Man Utd break Arsenal's record for longest run undefeated. We have remained undefeated for 50 premier league games!!
