Please. Dillusional. Cahill got man of the match, according to Moyes. Why does Cahill start every match when fit? I take the coachs viewpoint over yours.

Funny how a lot of you call cahill crap. Yet he starts every game hes fit. The coach knows more than all you. Cahill is quality. if he didn't get man of the match tonight, than maybe you didn't even watch the game?

Heard that Arsenal are banking heavily on Cahill, with Bendtner likely to go to Bayern Munich. Now before you disregard this. There is a couple of things you should know. Arsenal put in a big sum of money for a player, with 2 hours left in the transfer window it was reported, but the paper work didn't have time to go through. Another hint, search Wenger and Cahill, look how much of a fan he has been of Timmy over the years. How much would we get from Arsenal if they brought Cahill, which some think may be on the cards?

Cahill scored a goal and set one up. He gets man of the match. You guys don't know soccer.

Timmy will be at Arsenal next year anyhow. Not sure what everyone is talking about. He hasn't had his best season, but hes still been in our top 5 players. At least Moyes knows how good he is. Unlike the rest of you, who don't know how good he is. Hes quality, and our best player. Arsenal awaits. (Wink, notice Bentdner going to Bayern), wink wink.

I thought Neill was exceptional, Johnny was 2nd but Neill clearly outplayed him. Good performance, great point to get.

I was a bit worried with how the two would have gone this season and i mentioned this in an earlier thread at the start of the year. So how do you think they have gone so far this season? You know my answer. Good comeback tonight!

Wasn't his brightest moment. But he needs to be center back. Hes been Australias best player in the position for the past 5 years with Cahill. I'd pick him over Distin and Yobo any day of the week!

We produced 90 minutes of quality and were very very unlucky. We dominated that game. Everyone was great! We look so much more dangerous with Fellaini in that role and Cahill in his normal position. Pienaar makes a big difference to.

I thought Fellaini was great. And he got it for me. Cahill was 2nd he is getting in some good form. We played them off the park we were just unlucky!

When it costs the team a goal it does. But i guess everyone has there own opinion.

We are probably the strongest aerial team in the league. And its a bit hard for Fellaini and Cahill to score with there heads when all of Baines set pieces are not beating the first man or flying over everyone by twenty meters. Its been like this for a while now, like most of the season, probably the entire season.

But he gave away the first goal. Which was really bad?

Just caught the replay again and the first goals fault was Heitinga, so hes out of MOTM contention. Cahill or Saha.

Sorry 1st goals fault was Heitinga so hes out of MOTM selection.

Has been all season mate.

If anyone gives it to Gosling, Baines or Distin they need there head examined. Cahill worked tirelessly on the left hand side tonight. Saha was decent to. 1st goal : Heitingas fault 2nd goal : Whoever gave the freekick away 3rd Goal : Distin, what was he thinking? Taking the ball away from Cahill? I'd give Distin an assist on Hulls 3rd goal.

Surely someone else can take the set pieces from the left hand side. Baines, isn't up to it.

Edwin Van der Sar - 6 - Left bumped and bruised by Cahill in only moment of note for the giant Dutchman. Rafael Da Silva - 7 - Typically energetic performance in his first Premier League start of the season. Taken off for Scholes. Saw yellow for a challenge with Cahill. Wes Brown - 6 - Breezed through the first half and kept Yakubu quiet in the second. Nemanja Vidic - 6 - Reveled in the aerial battle with Fellaini and left his mark on Heitinga's face. A little wasteful when in possession. Patrice Evra - 9 - Fantastique from the Frenchman. Gave Neill a torrid evening with his darting runs up the pitch and kept Cahill pegged back in the process. His cross led to Fletcher's goal. Antonio Valencia - 8 - Followed up a disciplined display at Chelsea with a more expansive performance. Beat Baines for pace and delivered a decent supply of crosses. Added another goal to his collection with a deflected effort. Darren Fletcher - 9 - Zinedine Zidane would have been proud of his majestic half-volley that opened the scoring. Was the inspiration throughout as he dominated the midfield and showed pretender Rodwell how it's done. Filled in at full-back for last half hour. Michael Carrick - 8 - Partnership with Fletcher is starting to blossom. Passed the ball into the net to seal the win and controlled the flow of the match. Picked up a silly booking for an extravagant back heel volley. Gibson took his place with 10 minutes left on the clock. Ryan Giggs - 8 - The Welshman's masterclass shows no sign of stopping. Glided across the pitch at will and rarely wasted the ball. Brilliant spot for Carrick's goal. Wayne Rooney - 7 - Tried his heart out against his former club and on another night could have helped himself to a few goals. Taken off with 20 minutes to go. Michael Owen - 6 - Struggled to keep pace at times and wasn't always on the same wavelength as his team mates. Substitutes Paul Scholes - 7 - Set up United's third after he came on and was his usual unflappable self. Gabriel Obertan - 7 - Exciting cameo again. Should be well ahead of Nani in the queue to play understudy to Giggs. Darron Gibson - n/a EVERTON Tim Howard - 6 - Couldn't hold back the Red tide and was left to pick the ball out of his net on three occasions. Lucas Neill - 4 - Tormented by Evra and toothless when challenged by Giggs. This wasn't the Australian's finest hour. Joseph Yobo - 5 - Failed to stand up to the varied threats posed by the hosts and failed to form a partnership with Distin. Sylvain Distin - 4 - Shaky display by the former Manchester City man. Put several clearances into the path of the on-rushing United attack and couldn't keep United quiet. Leighton Baines - 5 - Struggled to stem the influence of ex-Wigan team-mate Valencia but was unlucky to deflect his shot past Howard. Dan Gosling - 4 - Was never at the races and failed to come out for the second half. Jack Rodwell - 5 - The hyperbole in the press should calm down after a quiet display against one of his rumored suitors. John Heitinga - 5 - Left bloodied by Vidic and confused by Carrick. Looked a fish out of water in the middle of the park. Tim Cahill - 5 - Failed to make his mark on proceedings from out wide. Substituted for Jo after being booked earlier on. Marouane Fellaini - 6 - Won his usual share of headers but was let down by his team-mates who refused to gamble on his knockdowns. Picked up a booking. Louis Saha - 5 - Cut a forlorn figure as the sole striker in the first period. Showed a number of classy touches and almost raced through to score. Goal.com

Courtesy of the Guardian. The fan's player ratings Howard 7; Neill 8, Yobo 7, Distin 7, Baines 8; Cahill 7, Heitinga 6, Rodwell 6, Bilyaletdinov 7; Fellaini 6 (Saha 72 5), Yakubu 8 (Jo 90 n/a)

You are officially the biggest noob on this forum. Every time i point something realistic out, you start going on about bullshit. Time to open your eyes. Take the goggles off. You arse.

Well who did you vote for. Your not doing much for this thread either. Neill was MOTM. Passing was crisp. Set up 2 goals as a defender. What else do you guys want?

I'm only agreeing with the commentators. Saha was good. If joe was unselfish cahill would have scored two. Big question is who looked the toughest and like the best fighter? Probably heitingas tattoos and fellainis height and reach would give him extra punchin power so they will get the votes.

Should have saved 2 last night what's his deal?

Heitinga won the who can kick it the furthest contest. Neill was easily our best player as the commentators said. Saha distant 2nd. Everyone else was shit. If you didn't vote for Saha or neill than watch the fuchen game!
