Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur on penalties to win the League Cup last season, with Ben Foster proving to be the hero of the day.
The quarter-final draw has been made today and United will face last year’s finalists, although the tie of the draw has to be City against Arsenal, given the way Emmanuel Adebayor behaved last time the clubs met.
Blackburn v Chelsea

Home draw always a good thing. Chance for the kids to impress against a relativly strong team. The city vs arsenal game shouldn’t have much furore given that Adebayor is unlikely to play and its at Wastelands anyway. Can’t wait for the game.
Yea I’m happy with a home draw, tough game but always confident at home
fucccccccccccccck offff you speeeerrm
fuccccccccccccck offff you speeeerm
Doesn’t it look like heading for a Big 4 semi! Oh wait, where’s Liverpool? Shame!
Ooooooooo citeh v Aresnal. Another piece of silverware the bitters won’t be winning.
good draw.since we are at home i think we will progress.Spurs have a good squad and will field a strong team but i am still confident.Spurs are being given a real pasting by the gooners.and robbie keane is talking of top 4 finish.LOL
Chelsea have the easiest draw, spurs will be tough to beat. Would’ve loved to have the bitters, so we’ll be the ones to knock them out.
I think our kids will beat spurs.
The most important thing was to get a home match, so I’m happy with the draw. And Chelsea and Arsenal get to travel, which is also good.
Hi Scott and ROM readers.
Was wondering if I could draw your attention to the month of Mo’vember. Given SAF’s and United’s recent charge against cancer (http://therepublikofmancunia.com/fergie-united-we-can-kill-cancer/), I thought I would give you all the link for Mo’vember.
For those who don’t know, Mo’vember is the month formally known as November, where guys grow a moustache in order to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer. It’s a really good cause, links in well with United’s latest push, and gives a great reason to grow the moustache that we all secretly want to.
I just started my own Mo’vember team, and would be great if I could get as many United fans joining me in growing a Mo, or donating (even a little).
Here is the link
http://uk.movember.com/mospace/27455/
Scott, would be great if we could get a good ROM effort – with the influence of the blog, we might just see Rooney with a handlebar in time for the Everton game. If you could make a blog post about Mo’vember, that would be great, but understand if you can’t.
Cheers all, hope to see some people joining the team/donating or starting one up themselves.
Shouldn’t that be 2009 Scott? On another topic, Ronaldo wants Rooney at Real Madrid – fuck off you tosser.
Oh dear, torres scored for the dippers, 1-1. Praying for them to drop points.
oh my god I’m in a shock. Chelsea score ANOTHER penalty in added time.
This is getting fucking ridiculous . Carragher has just gotten away with another penalty decision. He rugby tackled zamora to the ground and the ref. Waved play on.
Dippers down 2 1
Erik Nevland, one of us!!
Benayoun just replaced and chucks a hissy fit. All well with FSW’s team. Dippers degen just sent off – come on Fulham
Fucking hell the Scousers are collapsing! Fucking love it! FSW has gone mad, taking Torres off. He’s the only good player the Dippers have.
Cunt Carragher sent off whhoooohooo
Good to see that the win against us turned their season around. Oh wait. It didn’t.
vds oshea brown evans evra, valencia ando carrick nani, wazza berba.
off topic :
did any one see carragher getting a red card !!!
nostalgic.. something that hsould have happened in our match vs the scousers!!
I doubt the dippers will lose, it’s too good to be true really. Torres will probably dive and they’ll somehow get a penalty.
Hahahah this is what I call Karma, justice is served Carragher is sent off for the exactly same foul on Owen. hahahahaha.
hmm though Rooney would be rested for chelsea game.
hahahahahaha, love it!!!!
3 1 nevland again
@Fze123: The FSW took him off while they were level!
@willierednut : Thanks. So none of the first choice defenders made it. I hope Brown and Evans are solid!
Last Sunday’s defeat is hurting even more. If Fulham can beat the dippers why we can’t. Are we getting a psychological block against them?
@Xyth :
Something like that. It’s the a momentum thing. There was a time when we would play crappy against them and out of nowhere we would steal it. Now it’s their turn. But what matters most is how we react to that. Nothing was lost last Sunday. Today’s game is more vital.
Van der sar
Oshea Brown Evans Evra
Valenica Carrick Anderson Nani
Rooney Berbatov
line up
@ xyth, let them have there one or two moments of inane glory, we will see who has bragging rights at the seasons end!!! 19s a charm.
Posted under the wrong name there… don’t know what got into me. Anyway, Fulham just scored again!
Wat was the odds them scumbags wud lose today after their cup final last wk. ps rafa must stay
FSW looks like the fuckwit that he is. Commentators are pulling the piss out of him -beautiful
bench: kuszack, scholes,owen , flecth, fabio ,oberta, da laet…flecther???? thought he werent meant to be back till we play chelsea
Good to see todays ref had the bottle to sent that cunt Carragher off.
Haha, dippers title hopes blown to smithereens! Now, we just need Lyon to finish them off once and for all.
Im happy we got Tottenham if they play as badly as they did against Arsenal today then they will surely get trashed by our reserves.
Anyway..
Ha, liverpool losing, 3-1! Keep it up Fulham.
Hey I like this line up and bench a lot.. can’t wait for this game, lets make up for last week.
What a scoreline from Fulham!
No sweat costa, wes and jonny shud be alrite blackburn ave no strikers 3 0 to the champions.
It really begs the question. how the bloody hell did we cock up against those abject scousers
3 1 2 reds great stuff 5 defeats Rafa in tears?
itl be good to hav fletch back for chelsea game, he loves those games. might get a 10 minute warm up the day!
Have a feeling Owen will come as a sub and score!!!
Hope to see Owen, Obertan and Fletcher to come in at 2nd half.
@willierednut : I hope so. And lets make it easy on ourselves for a change!
@Manu: It happens. In 2004, we were on a bad run yet we ended Arsenal’s 49 game unbeaten run. The following week, we lost 2-0 at Portsmouth. But we must not lose sight of things. This is their year!
Wish I watched the match, had to rely on updates. This is their fifth loss so far this season. It is so their year!
i am elated !! just hope now we win against blackburn and make the day !!
Rafa has a very important game to play in the CL away so again he made his move.
For once I hope today we will play a free flowing football that our fans have been longing for. It’s been more than a season since last we saw the best of United. Hope Liverpool defeat will make everyone confident enough to play United true brand of football. 4-0 pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
Liverpool will win fuck all. The Arse and Chelsea are our main rivals for this year. We need to win our next 2 games, and hope Arsenal somehow bottle it against Wolvershampton and Sunderland!
I want us to take full advantage of Blackburn’s injury crisis and just score as many as we can, but should also try to keep a clean sheet.
COME ON UNITED!
Any news on the line up?
I will be extremely disappointed if we do not put 5 past Blackburn!!!!
does rafa do this sort of stuff on purpose? i really think he does. fields a shit team then gives them sort of a backs to the wall speech to get them up for their match of “real importance” i know that’s probably not really it but it sure does seem like it sometimes.
also i hope ando really shows up this game and asserts his place in the 11. a midfield with him and fletcher and even hargo would be damn near impossible to breakdown with their workrates and smarts. i’d gladly sacrifice carrick, and nani or valencia if it meant we could run those three out.
Not sure how to react to Evans and Brown in center. I should be nervous, but I am calm. Hope they will not disappoint.
We need goals, Chelski are now +20 GD, Gooners are +19 with game in hand
i can’t remember last time some won the title on GD
@Corea: Hi. We never have and i don’t remember it ever happening in general. That being said, sometimes it’s a psychological advantage in the final weeks of the season. The GD is looked upon as an extra point. I think it’s time we start rectifying it.
But we haven’t been scoring a lot of goals lately, especially against the weak teams (exluding wigan game).
and excluding* shitty game
@ Costas
Hi, buddy. Strange evening. These are the times when i want goals from our team but on the other hand i am so confident that we will easily win the game.
Anyway good luck to the players and a good win.
Goals brings confidence, something we are lacking.
haha guys i told you that last week that fulham will do the dippers. lets not forget this is their year. long live the rafalution! hope lyon do them next week.:-)
rio and vidic havent looked great of late but still if i dont see them in the first 11 i get worried especially against a team like blackburn who will play lots of long balls.Watch out for christopher Samba.he can really give our centrebacks a torrid time.and i doubt whether brown and evans are the perfect pairing to tackle a physical blackburn side.we didnt look too comfortable against Barnsley so i am not too sure about the centrebacks.i think we will win but cant see us keeping a clean sheet.
@Corea:
I hope you are right. Games against big Sam’s teams are always unpredictable. If Brown and Evans hold their own, then i am hopeful our midfield will dominate the game. A thrashing is long overdue…
let’s fuckin murder ‘em.
Nothing less than a destroying will do.
i hope blackburn doesnt give us some leftovers of that swine flu they had/have
Go reds go!!!!
It seem Man Utd need to be like fulham when facing the arsenal, chelsea n liverpool.hehe.gud luck against blackburn n beware against chelsea. towards march we go
Looks like they want to test our back four
It is not happening so far. Exactly the same performance as on last Sunday.
Someone needs to step up and pull the rest with him.
Berbatov should have scored.
why he hell cant we greab a team by the scruff of their neck.we are doing nothing in the hird.final t
We need some passion in our game asap.
Another miserable performance. Nobody knows how to score anymore.
We need a CAPTAIN.
Berba,s gonna get one today….
why cant blackburn players stand and tackle why the hell do they have to make silly sliding tackles.it can injure our players too
Fucking Nani playacting …..dont fancy it do he….SAF get the little fucker off and bring Obertan on
The final ball has been dreadful so far.
come on!!!!!!
great move.unfortunately wazza was off side
nani to slow to release – another opportunity missed
nani and his thousand touche deny us a goal cos he passes to Rooney too late….fucking hell he’s a poser aint he
carrick has made some brilliant sliding tackles.we are increasing the pressure.
How mane chances we need to score?
fckn hell! should be 2-3 goals up.
rooney is getting better.berba should have scored atleast one by now.Samba has been brilliant for blackburn
Now we need 10 hairdryers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as usual frustrating first half.reminds me of the dark days of 2004 and 2005 when we used to dominate games at home but ended up with nothing.same story here
how good is carrick, his so underated, he keeps it so simple and makes it look easy, hardly see him lose the ball or nothing
OK halftime…. Reds really on top …. bring on Owen for Nani and put Rooney out against Chmbmbwa or whatever his fucking name is…… later bring on Obertan for Valencia as he can use both feet and has a bit more skill…. reds to win 2-zip
It’s not a bad performance.It’s just not happening at the final third.Again.What the fuck was Chimbonda thinking?Thug.
I remember Ronnie being just as frustrating as Nani at one point.
We have been spoilt withe wingers at United for a long time.
Give him time and he will develop.
also why the hell cant our players shoot from distance.hope blackburn tire and we can take advantage in the nd half
OK first half. We’ll win it.
As long as we stay in touch with Chelsea i am happy enough to wait for us to find our way.
@aig alex is god : You remember the 04-05 days hey?So do I.One of those 0-0s was against Blackburn at OT.I think Alpha_rs makes a good point.Ronaldo of that time was the Nani of today.
alpha_rs ….Just how much time do you give him….ronnie was kicked all over but he still performed. Defenders have now learnt that if you kick Nani enough he will disappear in a game, Nani, in my opinion is just not good enough for MUFC, and he should be sold off soon as. we have wingers faster than him waiting in the wings with just as much skill and speed so I say get rid.
alpha_rs
nani is nearly 23.at this age ronnie was doing really well.and nanis progress has gone downwards.at united you are expected to hit the ground running as early as possible and in years there should be some improvement.get obertan on
Bloody hell, we’ve had about 7 shot overall. I am sure if Owen had started he would have slotted a few in easily. Berbatov should have scored, Rooney’s not seeing much of the ball. Carrick’s, ando, valencia and evans are playing well.
I’ll only be happy with at least a 4-0 win. Come on utd
Invariably we are playing teams that park the bus week in week out and we need players that can unlock the defence and create opportunities and confusion/panic in the opposition. Obertan looked terrific, OK against Barnsley, but he had them in two minds, Nani has our players in two minds which means there is no flow of attack.
Our team lacks confidence and we need inspirational performances to lift the team – Nani won’t deliver that now or ever.
We are also lacking a strong team leader at the moment. There is bickering going on out there. The team is leaderless (need a Keano) and we need a captain who will berate players on the park (when needed) to get them to lift their game. The strongest personality out there is Rooney but we don’t need our strikers to worry about anything other than scoring goals.
It might be a squad game now but there has to be strong leader on the pitch – where is he?
what age was Ronnie in 04-05 Costasand what age is Nani now… Sorry Costas mate, he aint good enough.
OK people may criticise me for this but… Valencia is very one dimentional, he’s a bit useless on the counter attack, Nani is way way better in that regard even though he can be frustrating.
Having said that Blackburn have just parked the bus and I can’t see anything but a United win, especially if Owen comes on – these types of games are made for him where there is little room in the box, he is so quick to take shots etc..
Costas
hi mate.how are you?.ya you are right but today there is lot more pressure on united to deliver trophies because of the way we have played in the last 3 seasons.
all you Nani fans ….. when Obertan comes on, as he must, you just watch the game change…
@TonyBee:
Yes, AIG made the exact same point. Ronnie was 20 in that season and Nani is 22-23 right now.Sometimes i also wonder if he will ever make it.What can i say?I still hope.
We can’t afford to struggle against blackburn for christ sake!!! We desperately need a leader someone who can step up at times like this…… come on berba i know you can!!!…
Fze123
4-0.ill be happy with a 1-0.
@TonyBee and aig alex is god
Ronnie had a sustained run in the team for 6 years.
It was only in the last 3 years he became the real deal.
Nani has not had that opportunity to develop at United.
Ronnie would have never developed in to the player he is today had Beckham not been forced out by his mrs.
tony Starks ….Crack on M8
@AIG: I am good mate, thanks.You?
I hope that we will score soon in the second half.See you all at the final whistle.
but why hasn’t Nani been given a sustained run….SAF doesn’t rate him as highly as others. he only plays in rotation games or Carling games with the young uns…..
any ways second half beckons
COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS
i personally feel that rafa wants to get fired….. we must concentrate on not letting that happen… common people start praying with me….. in rafa united trust!!!!! come back when u win 19…. oh wait… we might not be here that long!!!!!!!!
@Alpha_RS
ok mate.thats the way you feel.but i feel his time out of united is coming soon.ronnie was 17 and nani was 20.i am not saying he should be ronaldo but even if there was some improvement i would have been quiet but he has shown no progress at all.ronaldo was greadually improving and just took off in 06-07.
@TonyBee
I believe that Nani has more competition around him now than Ronnie did then. Also United were playing with Rooney, Tevez, and Ronnie in a 4-3-3 for the last few seasons.
If we let Nani go he will develop in to a really good player and we will be kicking ourselves. United don’t just ship players out. We give players a chance.
we must all pray that rafa isnt fired…. scott what say that all united fans start praying together for rafa? come back when u win 19… oh wait….. thats probably 2080!!!!!!
i am good costas.hope we can score soon in the 2nd half.0-0 is very dangerous scoreline even if you are dominating
@aig alex is god
Can’t deny that. If anything he has become worse.
Perhaps at the end of this season we can decide?!
The crowd is too quite as well…
anderson is looking great.trying his best to dictate play and pushing forward at every chance
Costas, it sort of happened in 1989. Arsenal won the title not on goal difference, but on goals scored. (Same number of points and goal difference as liverpool).
BERBA>WHAT A GOALLLLLLLL
aig alex is god, I won’t be happy with a 1-0. We SHOULD put 4 goals past them, chelsea managed to win 5-0 against them and it should be the same case for us.
Also rooney’s dropping too deep there is no one in the box to recieve the final balls.
1-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 berba!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING GET IN
goalllllllllllllll berbaaaaaaaaaaaa
thats his quality.not as good as the sunderland one but this was class one too
Great stuff by Berba
WHAT A FUCKING GOAL….. TOLD YOU…!!
thank god I didn’t miss the replay beautiful goal that
class!!!!!
more, more, more!!!!
Wow. Simply Amazing
Let’s crush them now.
ANDERSONNNNN ……..CUNNNNTTTT!!!!! LOL
@Fze123
now that we are up if blackburn decide to go for it,we can thrash them.no doubt about that.nani and valencia have great pace and can trouble them on the break
anderson’s shot ….. LOL!!
least he can smile about it
I cannot relax until we’ve scored again.
Look who provided the assist…. Nani!
looks as if Obertan is getting ready for his debut
wtf was that from nani
Alpha_RS
i think it was evra
obertan coming on.lets see how he does.lots of hopes from him
Nani off – forever. SAF not impressed. Go Obertan
@dv-ant
The United midfield hasn’t been contributing enough goals for ages.
Ronnie leaving has just shown that up even more.
Ando can smile but we need goals from that midfield!
Obertan runs that ball out. Bring Nani back on!
Valencia should have been taken off man! These are the situations where Nani exels, when there is lots of space to be found
pass it to wayne, obertan wtf!!!
great pace for obertan.just a bit unlucky.think we will get a second on the break.blackburn are trying to get people forward now
What was that from Obertan?! That shot was poor.
hehe more like bellion so far.. (joke)
Obby – Silvestre’s brother!
bring on owen for berba already. wayne needs to stay on and get a goal for his confidence.
Rooney taking corners – Confusing.
owen coming on.berba should come off.
obertan’s movement is really good. he’s fitting in quite naturally.
come on mickey-o!!!!
what a sitter obertan has missed
oBERTAN ….WHAT A MISS
Don’t be talking about Obby to me. Nani would have buried that with style!
o my god! this is gona haunt him for a long time…
what a miss on debut !! god forbid …
by the way Anderson and Carrick have been brilliant
had nani missed it he would have been buried alive…
@alpha_rs
i admit he should have scored but lets not slag him for that now.debut at old trafford will make anyone nervy.he will gain confidence gradually and will improve.lets judge him when he has played 8-10 games.admit though that should have been buried and nani would have scored
ROONEYYYYYY
THE ROOOONN
there it is!
!viva pele blanco!
WAZZAAA
that should do his confidence lot of good ahead of the chelsea game.
@Karandravs
Spot on there mate.
Ando with a brilliant ball in.
Obby let off the hook with that miss had Blackburn equalised!
ALPH…. bet you have a Nani poster on your wall …lol
come on you gotta admit he has been shit this season
ando has done well to control the midfield and still get forward today. obertan should have had a goal and an assist, but you have to like what we’re seeing today.
come on united, job almost done!!
that was a lucky escape.that goal should have stood.but we deserve to win more comfortably so that levels it up
wasnt blowing for an offside…was blowing for a foul
I just wish Anderson gets to play every game
@aig alex is god
Would never slag any United player off pal.
Obby should be given his chance like everyone else.
And no way was that offside!
rooninho mate ive said it before and ill say it again… rooney is not the white pele!! pele is the back rooney!!!!
Come on let’s get a third!
Can you imagine Ben Foster getting to those punches?…
@TonyBee
Have no Nani poster. Just a United shirt with Rooney on the back.
Nani has been poor this season. But keep seeing glimpses of what he can do.
Which keeps making me rethink my stance on him.
@sheasy
fair enough!
Even Owen misses a sitter
2 – zip …..Big Sam > fuck off
Wazza and Ando our best
@Long John O’Shea
That is hillarious. I’m gonna shout that one at OT next time I’m up there!
How did Owen miss that?!
I like the Obertan kid a lot.. can imagine him being very good this time next year
We’ll have to improve a lot to trouble Chelski
3 points. end of story. bring it on Chelsea.
all that i can say is JOB DONE.we played well to be fair and deserved to win by more in the end.not a bad day though with the bin dippers fucking it up again and that cunt carragher being sent off.chelsea will be an intesting game now with them being in great for.i feel its between arsenal us and chelsea and dippers spurs and shitty can fight for 4th place.
SORRY!!MISTAKE
THIS IS LIVERPPOLS YEAR.HOW CAN I FORGET IT.
job done! now a top of the table clash with chelsea… fletcher needs to get in against cska and get his match fitness and sharpness up to speed. can’t see us doing well against the chelsea midfield without fletch.
carrick finally had a performance where he was throwing in tackles .. Ando or Flet have to play alongside Carrick or Scholes.
Evra is a horse, fabulous game for him.
I still feel though we should have got 4-0 but a victory is appreciated nonetheless.
Just one point though, is it only me or anyone thinks that Valencia and Oshea partnership ain’t good enough. Valencia coz of his one-footedness needs someone to feed on, and Oshea is not creative enough to create those gaps for Valencia.
ando was pretty good except for the shooting. carrick did have some nice tackles but his passing was pretty dismal. isn’t that what he’s there for? i like him less every match.
obertan looks awkward out there but i think he might grow into something good. he seems like he’s trying to do the right thing and be in the right spots it just takes time. nani was unproductive especially with the amount of touches he got. valencia is one dimensional like someone else said but i do like that dimension, he makes the other team have to play towards him.
berba goal was class per usual. pat was great. the 2 cb’s didnt mangle it but didnt have anything to do. job done.
Overall a good performance.Hopefully,Rooney’s goal will help ease the pressure.Obertan looked ok.I will chalk his miss down to nerves.Finally,have i said how much i missed VDS?
Good performance today, 3 points in the bag, although we should have scored 3 more tbh.How did Obertan miss that sitter, bloody hell. Ando and carrick were fantastic, defence was solid for the majority of the match. Berbatov scored a brilliant goal too, and glad Rooney bagged one, it’ll boost his confidence. We’ll need these two at the top of their game against chelsea.
I think our back 4 have been solid, except for their wrongly disallowed goal.
Rooney and Berba were both awful in the first half but got their acts together and managed to score which is brilliant. Decent performance but it took us again way too long to kill of the game and score. Should of scored more but im happy with the score line anyway.
Man of the match for me was Anderson by far. He has been terrific, buzzing with energy the whole time and passed the ball around well without losing it.
The most disappointing player today was Nani. He kept losing possession and was just simply not good enough. It was obvious the rest were getting irritated by him. And i was truthfully glad that Fergie took him off and brought on Obertan who i thought was evidently better than Nani today. Obertan needs to work on his stamina though. for large chunks of the game i often found him moping around not marking anyone and waiting for the ball to come.
Owen again is getting into good positions.The goals will come eventually.
Roll on those Rentboys.
Obertan now looks like a newborn giraffe. He looks completely gangly with elbows and knees.
I have only said that before about one player years ago. First time I saw him he was just weird. But when he came into his own he was unstoppable.
Obby reminds me of that player.
Obby reminds me of Z Z.
Zidane himself.
Obby also looks like Luke Chadwick.He has to beef up a bit.
great goal from rooney, amazing one from berbatov! i never imagined i’d be able to say ‘berbatov’ and ‘sliding celebration’ in one sentence!
anderson motm? quality passes all the way.
pity nani, getting knocked all over the field.. did you see that flying knee he got in the first half? and the blackburn player had the cheek to shove him right after! that guy should have got a red a long time ago.
ahh found his name.. chimbonda.. what an arse
costas
spot on.VDS is such a cool customer.really missed.think we would not have drawn against Sunderland at all had he been between the sticks.
The cunt steve mcmahon says obertan is not good enough and will not replae ronaldo.DREAM ON he says.
FUCK OFF YOU CUNT.ITS YOU BELOVED DIPPERS WHO ARE DREAMING ON
Roll on those rentboys.
No thanks, playing like we have done ain’t gonna get us shit.
Thank fuck Fletch will be back.
Nani just do the honourable thing and walk your ass out the door. You’ll never be Ronaldo.
Berbatov scored yes, don’t mean he wasn’t shocking throughout.
midfield were very competitive today, good to see carrick getting stuck in. valencia seems a solid tackler too which is good to have. rooney and berb seemed a bit off pace but both scored! blackburn were poor though. seemed like a training game at times
I can’t believe the love for Carrick; he was atrocious. Perhaps his worst performance to date in a red shirt.
Nani isnt Ronaldo and never will be and the sooner idiots stop looking for him to be Ronaldo and get off his back the better.
Nani wasnt to bad today, his problem was the lack of movement in the box when he was looking for the cross, although I dont agree with his sulk when he got subbed.
Quite frankly, Rooney may not have even bothered turning up today he was shocking, just as he was last week, it was like playing with 10 men or given the times he gave the ball away it was like he was playing for Blackburn. He showed a lot more 2nd half, but the sooner this baby comes the better as its cleary effecting his game.
Great first half by Valencia and a great 2nd half by Anderson.
Corea – We beat Leeds United to the title on goal average in 1965.
Good to see Berba and Rooney score. Owen should have buried his chance, same can be said of Obertan, although he did look good when he came on. Need to play better than that next Sunday at Chelsea. Hopefully Fletcher will be back for that one.
