Tevez and Rooney worked hard to keep possession and put pressure on arsenal, while Anderson, Fletcher and Carrick denied the likes of fabregas and co to monopolize the midfield...a great tactical lineup by SAF. Now only a draw at the Emirates and we are thru, but I expect a different game altogether there. Plus with Rio injured the defence may be fragile if he doesnt play. But I have to reckon that Gibbs, that young arsenal left back, has the potential and gave Ronaldo a tough time in the game. And I felt that the ref was not that good, he should have awarded us some clear freekicks, but instead just kept the game going, while a small contact with an arsenal player resulted in freekicks for them :@ A superb 1st half by the United players, could have easily been 3-0 at halftime, but for Almunia saving from Rooney and Ronaldo.
