The tyke showed decent control on the ball but couldn't create anything, to be fair to him, he did not really have the best service. Arsenal would have a tough game at Everton, as would we at Upton Park, every chance of both the games ending in draws, but I just hope that we are able to get the monkey of our backs this time and thump the hammers!

A great player, even if he's not a great out and out striker.

That finish was calm and composed, which is what you should be looking for in a striker. He simply made sure, the keeper wouldn't be able to get to it, and it was a clear sign of him getting his confidence back. The finish against Liverpool can't be compared to this one, since it was his footwork that let him down on that occasion... he simply didn't get the timing right for Ronaldo's cross. With this one he had time to run with the ball and look at the keeper, because he kept his cool. Abu – I absolutely disagree.

Rooney's finish?! Although it went in that goal strike highlights Rooney's flaw. He shot into the narrowest of holes between Gordon and goal. I would have preferred he went across the keeper to the opposite side. That's how he missed against Liverpool from Ronnie's slide rule cross, going for the wrong side of goal rather than across. Sir Fergie's gotta teach him that and other striking nuances, Otherwise SUPER PLAYER of course!! I know we are all festive and whatnot but um… Rooney’s finish?!

Rooney was the best player on the pitch yesterday along with ronnie, saha had good game and got much needed goals (for himself)........ nani was good for some parts but lost possession for umpteen number of times. He actually reminds me of joe cole, who just tries to beat the defenders without any success but have good finishing. Park was lively and i believe at the moment is better option than nani to come off the bench. And lastly the free kick by Rocket Ronaldo.........if he can get the consistency, than he will be unstoppable........ :) finally the match report :)

Not that it was powerless, because the kick was really hard, and unstoppable for a good keeper such as Sunderland's. If this is Ronaldo's new style freekick, this boy really has got it all doesn't he? 2 good feet, a good header of the ball, pace, excellent skills, good passing, great off-ball movement, calm and collected under pressure... what more can you ask of the best player in the world. Good to see Rio back, and he showed just how important he is to our defense. Nani had some good moments and got us the penalty with his explosive pace. He also had a good effort with his left foot in the first half and participated well in the passing game, which btw was superb yesterday. It's great that we can rest Giggs and have a replacement with Nani's ability - we've really lacked that in previous seasons. I'd advice people to keep Rooney in your Fantasy teams, because he's back at his best, and with Saha also looking very good, we couldn't go into January looking any better.
