Hard To Know

It is hard to know what to think about today's game. We did in my opinion put out a weakened team. Everton had arguably their strongest line up (without Arteta) and we still had chances. The game was even enough over the 120 minutes but some of our play was very frustrating. We are continually wasting our opportunities from set pieces, especially corners and I think this will cost us in games coming up. Our defence was good yesterday and this was one plus point. Anderson, Gibson, Wellback and Park did not do enough. Their distribution could have been better and Tevez was wasteful too although he did work as hard as usual. Macheda will get much much better I think but the lad is still feeling his way and the service yesterday could have been better. As we all know the penalty lottery is fickle and we have tasted both outcomes now in recent tournaments. I just somehow knew yesterday it was going to go wrong for United. Good luck to Everton in the final but they will have to play a lot better than they did today to trouble Chelsea. United 0-0 Everton (2-4 Penalties).
