When in Rome.....

Like last year, once again Man Utd faced AS Roma in CL Quarter-final. But this time, they done better.Beating the Roman at their ground is not such an easy task. Honestly I think Man Utd player do not played that good, but the fact that Roma player had an off-day made it easier for Utd players.Let's hope they will do well for the 2nd leg next week.

Many people think that Man Utd will go through after their 2st leg triumph but in football matches,anything is possible.If Roma is having a good game while Utd is having a poor game,the final result could easily favourable to Roma.Just imagine, somehow VD Sar miss-kick Rio Ferdinand back-pass,or Wes Brown accidentally head the ball into his own net, and at the same time Rooney,Ronaldo and Tevez all miss-firing in front of Roma goal...enough said, the tie is still an open game.So Utd player should remember that, and I believe they do.

Another thing, I think Rooney is not at is best now. Don't get me wrong, I do think he did the job well, but not to his usual standard.We must remember Rooney is a player with fast pace, deadly shooting from outside the penalty area, have wonderful skills in chipping the ball way past the goalkeeper and also have a very good one-two passing sense. His work rate is 1st class, but he do seems like a little bit rusty when in front of the goal. Somehow he always looks like being too near to the goalkeeper when he shoot the ball. I think he is not as fast as he usually does during the past few years.But I am sure he will turn out to be one of the main player for this remaining 6 games of the EPL and also in the CL.

Also,recently I think Anderson is not having such a great game,well at least not in every game. He always miss-kick the ball when in front of goal.He need loads of shooting practice.But at the same time fair to say that his passing accuracy seems like improving.His strength of holding the ball seems consistent.But lately he rarely burst to the front from deep like he usually do.I wonder if the gaffer do not permit him to do that,but I don't see any reason why he should.

Well, I hope he will improve next year,especially with the shooting because if he will be replacing Scholes,he sure need to level up his shooting accuracy because with Scholes, we always get few spectacular goals every season and we also hope Anderson could provide some in the future, if not now.

So bring it on 2nd leg...(and by the way,Vidic will be out for at least 3 weeks, which is not a good news at all)
