szólj hozzá: Man Utd vs Crawley Highlights
There's more highlights on the ITV website, including interviews (although when I tried the game highlights weren't working - linking to highlights of Man City instead - someone's idea of a joke...).
Not the best performance, admittedly, but hard to take much from the game - So Bebe and Obertan didn't do too well, but it's all experience. Obertan seemed a bit more comfortable than previous times I've seen him, finding his feet with games. Gibson did well, but as he's been slagged off week in week out for performances in other games not sure why his performance is greeted with great praise while Bebe/Obertan are written off as useless, not "United players" as I've seen written in places. Let's not judge anyone, either good or bad, on one performance. Especially a no win game like Crawley Town, as Sir Alex said (while admitting we didn't play well second half) "It would have been Crawley's day even if we'd won 5-0."
Crawley's day... Here they get praised for bringing 9000 fans - which is great, respect, but where's our praise for bringing the rest of the 74778 fans for such a low key game in a competition which we've already killed...
One last point from this report in The Observer - the overhead kick -
an attempted overhead kick from Tubbs that flew over Anders Lindegaard's bar and was anyway deemed dangerous play by the officials. That seemed a tad harsh, considering Rooney had scored in exactly the same way at the same end last week, and it was only the fact that Brown tried to get to the ball, whereas City defenders in the derby had stood and watched, that marked one incident as different from the other.
I have often had this argument with people and I don't see what the problem is - it is dangerous play if there's defenders nearby. It's simple. The Rooney one he was on his own - so it wasn't dangerous, The Tubbs one, Brown's head was near - dangerous. Praise Brown, don't criticise referees.
